Max is also really generic now, but I admit that his lines in The Ring Leader were one of the only good things from the episode. I don't like it even a little. In Secret of the Omnitrix, when Ben thought Gwen had died, the later reunion was probably the most important scene in the entire movie, from a character development perspective. Everything was going downhill in a big way (Vilgax's giant robots were destroying everything, Ben had next to nothing to fight with and was likely to lose), but it became irrelevant because he realized Gwen was alive. The missiles flying everywhere didn't matter, Vilgax being just a few steps away from victory didn't matter, the giant robots didn't matter, the disabled Omnitrix didn't matter; all he cared about was Gwen still being alive. That's the kind of moment the reboot will never have, because MoA messed up in that regard.
