I hear that, Ben was rather mature in AF and UA, but then returned to an annoying teen. OS Ben was actually amusing, but OV Ben just came off as annoying and dumb.

Yeah, but if evolution was properly used, would it even be as exciting? Precisely. Im all for a bit of humor fron the characters, but did it have to come at the cost of backtracking all of Ben's development in the past 2 series? I also wish they hadn't cut Gwen and Kevin so abruptly. At least have one of them stay around, or slowly let them go.

True, but they could have used a better more accurate term, like "metamorphosis" or something. Thing with evolution is you can get multiple paths and hundreds, thousands of new species from one ancestor. Also the species would be different depending on how far in the future you go. How does the Ultimatrix determine which descendant? Does it select the one exactly 1 million years later or something?

I know, that's one of OV's major problems in my opinion, how did Ben suddenly become so childish, when he was so much more mature before?

I think that the Ultimatrix puts the alien in question through the worst possible scenario, making the alien adapt to combat said problem, which is why they're much more powerful and more suited for combat. Whatever that means, I don't even know where I heard that.
