Khyber the Huntsman I salute you sir! Your highlights are spot on and I think you and I are the same in regards to our love for Ben 10. I once bought the entire collection of toys from the original Ben 10 for my Brothers Birthday long ago, but since the AF/UA action figures were so expensive a few years ago when they were released I never bought one.

Last week I watched every single episode of Omniverse and I began to agree on the villains aspect in both the pros and cons.

While watching the series I was like OMG Ben what the heck happened to you? So I completely dropped Ben and instead focused on Rook, who is actually pretty well scripted and designed. Then comes Blukic and Dreba, they always keep me from getting bored. Maybe kids out there might find the pathetic speeches given by Ben's old enemies to be funny but to me it is just nerve-wrecking. They were made into such good characters in AF and UA but now they are just objects of laughter.

I don't really care if they changed it to be fit for young(and apparently surprisingly clueless;which btw is almost extinct in this internet filled world) audiences, but WHY TRANSFORM IT INTO A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SERIES!!! At least if they changed the characters(like making someone other than Ben the main, say, someone who got a device similar to the omnitrix?) or based it in another alternate reality, then I would accept it gladly BUT this is supposed to be the CONTINUATION of UA which makes no sense.

Back in the day when AF was announced squeals of joy ran around the community, and we teenagers were genuinely addicted to it, even those that disliked the original series. The hype began to deteriorate by the time UA was airing but now hardly anyone I know even mentions it and when they do they talk as if it was something ancient. Many didn't even know there was another series until they accidentally stumbled upon it on Cartoon Network. And get this, the biggest change, in my country where Ben 10 is super-popular, not a single Omniverse DVD has been seen. Even the final season of Ultimate Alien still hasn't been in stores. Does't this mean something? Either way, out of my grade I am one of the few(maybe only one) who has watched every single episode of Ben 10. And what do they do to repay my devotion?; Add more things for me to face-palm myself over. Never-the-less as devotion demands, I shall continue to watch this series until the day they finally decide to stop once and for all. Wonder how many decades that will take.
