What do you rate all 4 series, and the franchise itself? List the pros and cons of each series.

Ben 10:

Pros: Cons: Overall: A good start to the franchise. 9.5/10 Ben 10: Alien Force: 
 * The aliens were well balanced and were creative.
 * The plotline was one of the main focuses, with humor and action all helping the plot.
 * The characters were relatable and funny.
 * A lot of the villains were one-timers or only had one episode all to themselves,  ex: S.A.M, The Highway Baron's gang, Clancy, and Sublimino.
 * Characters other than the main protagonists and antagonists, had little to no character development.

Pros: Cons: Overall: A good sequel to the original. 8.5/10
 * A new variety of villains, aliens, and characters.
 * Expanding on the Forever Knights.
 * Ben maturing for the first two seasons.
 * Rath and his attitude was very humorous.
 * Visiting space more often.
 * New animation style.
 * In Season 3, Ben lost his maturity.
 * Some of the aliens  were overpowered, poorly designed, and were too humanoid.
 * The humor (minus Rath) was not very humorous at all.
 * D'Void
 * A weaker Vilgax
 * Aliens being naked.

Ben 10: Ultimate Alien:

Pros: Cons Overall: More of an extension to AF, then a series itself. 8.1/10
 * More of the OS aliens and villains coming back.
 * The Diagon arc and Aggregor arc were action-packed.
 * The Heroes United Crossover
 * Some of the new Aliens (ChamAlien, Jury Rigg, Shocksquatch, and Clockwork)
 * The Intro having all previous aliens (Sadly they never appeared)
 * The Ultimates (Though poorly executed, the concept was interesting in general)
 * The scene with Rath from Prisoner 775.
 * Some OS and new aliens were poorly designed.
 * Keeping the same animation as AF.
 * Not having all the aliens in the intros.
 * The ultimates were barely evolved.
 * The humor was horrible.
 * Animo was too muscular.

Ben 10: Omniverse:

Pros:

Cons:
 * How Albedo was handled.
 * New villains and Villains.
 * Dr. Animo being returned to his awesome self.
 * The flashbacks and flashfowards.
 * The new aliens were well-balanced and well-designed (Atomix was overpowered though)
 * The redesigns improved on all designs and improved some AF/UA designs.
 * Khyber and the Nemetrix.
 * The Time War and alternate realities.
 * Ventrilosquid and Rocks being canon.
 * The Rooters

Overall: It returned Ben 10 back to its original state, but still has AF and UA references. 8.9/10.
 * Some of the humor was too childish, but it is a kids show.
 * Vilgax was improved but still weak.
 * The fusions being Ben's future. (It works better as an alternate reality)
 * Toepick's name fits another alien and doesn't apply to this one.
 * Only Toepick and Atomix were introduced from the Ben10K future aliens mentioned.
 * Primus was never mentioned again.
 * Some of the retcons.

Franchise Overall: One of my favorites, it had its ups and downs but overall it was an awesome series. 35/40 or 87.5%. B+
