I think they could've been better with the aliens. Now don't get me wrong. I actually kind of don't mind the cartoony art style and I think the animation is a lot of fun, but the overall the concept they went with wasn't that great. The aliens are too simple. The point of a reboot is to take the same thing I know, but you're also changing it slightly. Not completely retooling how it was. The aliens went from unique to humanoid.

I wouldn't mind as much if maybe they had at least been a bit smarter. if they're gonna completely change the tone and look then at least be clever about it. Instead they just slabbed all the recognizable alien names hoping to please new fans who can get to know them despite their lack of personality.

Here's what I think they should've done - have three aliens from the original show, have three aliens from alien force, three aliens from ultimate alien and one new alien reboot-made. That definitely would've made a spark of sorts. Here are the aliens I think could've worked for this idea:

From Original:

Four Arms

Grey Matter

Upgrade

From Alien Force:

Spidermonkey

Jetray

Big Chill (I don't know why but I can really imagine Big Chill in the reboot style)

From Ultimate Alien:

ChamAlien

Eatle

Water Hazard

Reboot Made:

Shock Rock
