You have no idea how proper storyboarding and plot work. If the Galvan military just came down and curb-stomped the Incursians, they would be using a plot technique called "God-moding". God-moding is boring when it takes away from good character and plot development. I think it's a lot more exciting to see how the hero's personally try to overcome their own obstacles, rather than just phoning in for back up every time something goes wrong.

It's the reason why Alien X has a major flaw in it's powers and why Ben had to choose to keep the universe as it is (villians and all) at the end of Ultimate Alien. It's also the main reason why Ben's Omnitrix glitches and has a time out mechanism, because if he could change to WayBig at will, all the time, for as long as he wanted, watching him fight would be pointless and boring.

God-moding sucks, no, it would not be cooler or more exciting, because we'd all know what would happen. They would win, end of story and creativity.
