I don't see Ben 10 as a kids show but rather as a kid-friendly show. A kids show is specifically designed to captivate kids. A kid-friendly show is designed to be suitable and appropriate for kids to watch but is very much capable of captivating viewers of various different age groups. Kids, teens, and adults.

Also, not everyone agrees with the concept of Ben and Gwen being a romantic cousin couple. I even find it weird myself. It's not completely necessary either. However, it is appropriate enough to be implemented in Ben 10. There is no excuse as to why this concept can't happen either. As long as things don't go too far and over the line with this type of relationship, it will be fine for Ben 10 and Cartoon Network. As long as it is done the right way, it will bring a lot more benefits than consequences for the show. Do more good for Ben 10 than harm. It can work and my GoogleDoc does go further indepth with this concept. I analyze and discuss this concept of a cousin romance between Ben and Gwen near the end of my document starting on page 12 and ending on the beginning of page 16. Overall, even though this cousin romance concept between Ben and Gwen is weird and questionable for Ben 10, it is just another relationship. That's all it is. Just another romantic relationship. A weird one but just another relationship. It isn't completely necessary but it can work for Ben 10 if it is done the right way. I'd suggest you read about that concept in my document on those pages that I labeled to at least get a better understanding on it. Whether or not you agree with it is up to you. The majority of fans of this series do want this to happen though and I can see why.
