That Classic series Vilgax voice sounded so good for a split second I couldn’t tell if it was audio from the actual episode or if it was a very good actor

Ben's plumber ID is the air date of the last omniverse epsiode, Rook's plumber ID is the air date of the first omniverse epsiode, Max's plumber ID is the air date of the first episode of classic, Gwendolyn's plumber ID is the air date of the classic episode lucky girl, and finally Kevin's plumber ID is the air date of the classic episode Kevin 11 Genius!

[@CorvusTheII]

To be honest, this is quite the achievement (The VA for Ben has that Yuri Lowenthal vibe, which just sounds nostalgic for me) 5 Years Later became my official headcanon after Omniverse I guess transforming at will takes a lot of getting used to since Ben is seen operating the watch manually despite having the Master Control

[@Jonathan_Collins]

The motion comic is gonna be a banger of a series, I can already tell. Now if you could upload the vods of Cosmic Destruction (yes, even with all of the issues you had with it, we will still watch), that'd be great.

[@14oliverhedgehog74]

Why are you a conflicting beast? One second you like it and the next you seem to fail to understand Ben 10 doesn’t just focus on Ben or the fact that this is a fan project with no reason whatsoever for anyone to claim as canon given the multiverse exists. Are you bipolar or something?😅
