[@PureGarbageWithCheese]

I liked Omniverse because the show explored on different alien species much better than the previous shows and Ben gets to use a lot of his underrated aliens. The change in art style regarding the aliens is acceptable to me as they give different aliens more personality appearance wise and makes them boldly stand out. Some of the aliens might look goofy, but it makes them recognizable as we are greeted with more and more species of aliens. The anticipation of seeing a new alien in the Omniverse art style is also part of the fun of watching the show. The changes to each alien aren’t necessary, but it made me enjoy the show a lot more.

Honestly you went on Big Chill OV too harshly imo. I like to imagine Big Chill in OV as buff then rather hunched back. I like his bulkier design, because I personally felt like the UAF felt weak in brute strength. Idk that's just me though. Edit: I still like both versions in their own respective way, don't get me wrong, I'm just saying I feel like Ask was a little too harsh.

[@sighberspook2021]

he's meant to look more like Mothman in OV and I think that makes him more interesting, it gives the impression that in the ben 10 universe mothman sightings are actually sightings of one of big chills species visiting earth if I'm not mistaken big chill was always meant to be a nod to mothman even in UAF but he doesn't really look anything like mothman in that series so I think OV pulls off the homage a little better (both versions are cool tho)

First off, R.I.P. Derrick J. Wyatt, the art director of Omniverse. And second, personally, I loved a good chunk of the redesigns in Omniverse. I think the art style overall was a lot more interesting to look at. Not to dis UAF, I liked it's art style fine, but I don't find it very visually interesting compared to other superhero shows, where as Omniverse had more personality in its visuals. I think the only redesign I really disliked was Big Chill.

[@conneredwards7371]

I’ve always said while I like the art style of Omniverse, some of the designs leave much to be desired. I wish they would have given 16 year old Ben inklings of design elements from Ben 10,000, like the shoulder vents on Heatblast. Also the two versions of Eatle seem like two completely different aliens lmao

[@paolocalapatia6401]

For me personally, It just depends on which Character & Alien for me. From The Video: - Characters: Grandpa Max: OS Young Ben & Gwen: OS Teen Kevin: UAF. Felt like they were tryin to add much stuff for Omniverse Teen Gwen: Omniverse (HER 1st Look from its 1st Episode) It is an Awesome Way to mix her UAF looks. I don’t mind the glasses for the 2nd look BUT they didn’t have to make her like Velma. I Like Velma but Gwen has her own style Teen Ben: UAF. UAF fits what I Love about Ben from Season 1-2 of Alien Force while apparently Omniverse seems to fit more what THEY WANTED Ben to be in Season 3 & onwards Vilgax: OS. THE MOST Threating looking - Aliens from The Video: Heatblast: Omniverse. It’s not the color of flames nor rocks, it’s the Alien Character Design Wildmutt: OS. Love him more monstrous AND ridable like a steed Diamondhead: UAF. Love the connection between his & Chromastone’s species. For Uniform Looks, can’t beat the Classic XLR8: OS/UA. Black & White fits well for the speedster Grey Matter: OS/UA. Has that ol school ET + Frog look I Love Fourarms: UAF. Not at first BUT I grew to Love the Gladiator outfit. Heroes United definitely perfected it though with giving him back his pants. For Uniform Looks, prefer The Classic over The Strongman Carnie Stinkfly: OS. Creepy YET Cool vibe Ripjaws: UA & Omniverse. Omniverse is a better Version of Classic while UA is an interesting Alt. take. I’d Love to try combining the 2 Upgrade: UA. Love the updated tech look PLUS I prefer his Eye NOT surrounding the Omnitrix for his plasma blasts Cannonbolt: OS. Love the texture s & Shark teeth Benwolf/Blitzwolfer, Snare-oh, & Frankenstrike: OS/UA. A Strength of theirs is giving Anur Aliens their fitting scary yet cool vibe in their looks ALTHOUGH I do Love the detailed stitches of Frankenstrike in Omniverse Upchuck - Perk: OS & Omniverse. EITHER w/ or w/o Uniform is fine though I Love the texture detail from Original Series - Murk: UAF. No need to make him cute in Omniverse Ditto: OS. Prefer the alien look than making him cute EVEN THOUGH Looney Tune gags made me laugh Eye Guy: OS. Creepy YET Cool vibe Way Big: OS. Better Kaiju looking one Swampfire: UAF AND Omniverse (Fully Blossomed). Though I prefer the scrawny frame & colors of UAF, A Fully Blossomed Form is a great Idea. It’s Best to combine the 2 Echo Echo: UAF. No need to make him cute in Omniverse Humungousaur: UAF. MONSTROUS yet Cooler Jetray: UAF. (Looking at the design if he was in Omniverse): ....WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO MY BOI!!!😫 Big Chill: UAF. Cause for Omniverse: More Moth-like, I Love. Buff, No. Chromastone: UAF. The extra spiky crystals from Omniverse are unnecessary Brainstorm: Omniverse. Like A Bot appearance of a crab Spidermonkey: UAF. Cause for Omniverse: Prominent Fangs & Hank McCoy style hair, I Love. The rest of the face, No. Goop: UAF. Though I Love the Omnitrix to be on the Anti-Gravity Projector like from Omniverse Alien X: UAF. The Big chin from Omniverse is unnecessary Lodestar: Omniverse. Better Update Rath: UAF. Looks cooler so it's even funnier when he does his usual gags. Although The Wrestler Look is a good Outfit for him MINUS The Luchador Mask as his face is already a tiger with some Wolverine's mask elements so it's unnecessary. If you ask me, The Luchador look would fit WAAAY better for Kickin Hawk Nanomech: UAF. Though I prefer the claws & wings from Omniverse Water Hazard, AmpFibian, Armodrillo, Terraspin, AND NRG (For both Armored AND True Form): Omniverse. Better Update Fasttrack & Chamalien: Omniverse. Looking at the design if they were in Omniverse, these are Better Updates for BOTH of them if they ever appeared THOUGH I do wish they kept Chamalien’s Chesire Cat+Randall Boggs smile from UAF Clockwork: Omniverse. Better Update Shocksquatch: UA/Heroes United. I’m a Pokemon Fan BUT I’m mixed when they decided to make his color scheme similar to Electrivire’s in Omniverse though I do Love what the body looks like Eatle: Either. Getting confused cause they suddenly changed him to a Bot Shark to a Munching Rhino Beetle JuryRigg: Omniverse. His New Aviator Gremlin Design is one of the reasons why he’s MY Fave New Alien introduced in UA outside The Andromeda 5

I like original Upgrades design better for a couple reasons, one I like the white part of his body emphasizing his body is metalic and not only tech, and two, and this is a gripe I had with the omniverse version for the longest time, the omnitrix being on his eye seems to restrict Upgrade, cause in the classic it was revealed he could shoot lasers out of it's eye, and omniverse shows other upgrades doing the same, however, in omniverse it never uses it, and I can only assume it's cause the omnitrix is restricting it by blocking his eye cause even though it's shown that he could do it since others of the same species do it also, he just doesn't, also omniverse and ultimate alien in general shows how powerful upgrade is by using others of its species (Incorporating tech into itself, creating it's own weapons etc), but they seem to not apply to Bens upgrade which always bugged me
