The real scary/dark part about this movie was azimuth was willing to let the whole universe get destroyed.

Without ben there would be no universe left.

[@sebastiengendron6427]

With the many times Ben 10 has tried to hack the omnitrix, I'm honestly surprised the self destruct sequence hasn't happened sooner and what if they never met tetrax.

[@headdoctor6954]

"Without Ben there would be no universe left" Heh. Ironic.

[@jetstreamjackie3437]

Listening to Tetrax's dialogue again, he says "the explosion will cause a ripple effect that will rip apart the universe". So in this movie at least, it's not the explosion itself that would destroy the universe, but its side effects. Later on he says if Ben messes with the watch any more "we can kiss this half of the universe good-bye", which even implies that some of the universe might survive the explosion and ripple effect. Gotta hand it to Classic for staying at least a little grounded :)

[@twistedyogert]

The observable universe is 93 billion light-years in diameter. Whatever lies beyond that distance is anyone's guess because all telescopes need light to see things, and light travels at a finite speed. If the Ben 10 universe is, let's say twice, that size that's a good chunk of that universe gone for good.

My problem was the alien often looked more like mech suits than organic beings. Water hazard and Armadillo come to mind Armadillo would fit right in as a digimon.

[@wojciechcichocki1429]

The problem is that the movie is a one and done. The show has to premier new episodes on a weekly basis or even faster, so it has to be a bit rushed.

The Classic series is still insanely beautiful and well done though, but they definitely dropped the ball with the visuals in UAF

[@andyzhang7890]

@@LuisGustavoSO Agreed. UAF was probably my least favourite in terms of designs, with aliens like fasttrack that just looked like a human in a cheap superhero suit, an increasing number of aliens that just looked like animals ( Spidermonkey, Wrath, Terraspin, Eatle) and other designs like Juryrig that just copy existing creatures. (granted the last issue began in the classic series with the horror monsters)

Unfortunately that it's not a pretty big introduction for him like Waybig.

To be fair, Secret of the Omnitrix Canonically happens AFTER "Ready to Rumble", "Ben 4 Good Buddy" and "Ben 10 vs the Negative 10" Parts 1 and 2 (if we're considering the U.S. airing order), therefore making Eyes Guy's appearance the second time Ben uses him onscreen.

22:30 based on the explanation from the finale for alien force when he blows up the omnitrix with only a 30 second charge I’m pretty sure it’s a feature. Based on how big the threat is, if the omnitrix needs to be destroyed he could take the entire enemy force with him no matter how many enemies there are as long as he times it correctly. If the threat is so big the omnitrix needs to be destroyed instead of used against it, it’s probably safe to say it should blow up the universe… especially when you consider A) alien x wouldn’t be strong enough in that situation and B) the universal range was used to repair the dna of the high breed.

I always felt like the “selfish” arc for Ben in SOTO was stupid as shit. “Do you help because it’s the right thing to do, or for the thrill of being a hero?” what kinda question is that? He always wanted to help people. Even in episode 1, he tried to stop JT and Cash from stealing that kid’s money. And that was BEFORE he even got The Omnitrix. (I get Tetrax wouldn’t know of that scene, but the movie painting Ben that way is just shitfull) “It’s called being TOTALLY unselfish, something YOU wouldn’t understand.” WTF Gwen? What Ben have YOU been on vacation with all summer?

[@Theokal3]

Yeah I agree. This is kinda silly for me because I always felt like Ben's desire to help people had been one of his few consistant traits. Guess not.

[@JayRedGear]

Yeah, Ben may be cocky and full of himself, but he always wanted to help people.

[@truegamer_007]

Power changes people tho, it's not a stretch to imagine that the omnitrix changed ben initially before his hero self shone through again.

[@We_Are_Kenom]

Eh, maybe? But with the lessons he learns every episode? I’d imagine (realistically) those would’ve kept Ben grounded.

[@LiterallyMeGR]

Ben wants to help people. But the writers always show him in his "overconfident" self most of the time. As they show him in that way, WE the audience get that impression instead of "wanting to help" one. There is some need for consistency in his character.

[@SamLabbato]

Pretty sure it was briefly mentioned in alien force when he threatened to self-destruct the omnitrix that "[not charging up the self-destruct sequence would] still blow this whole place up", implying he could let it charge up longer to blow up even more.

Earliest ive been here but loved this movie as a kid, way bigs intro and the sense of danger actually had me on edge ill remember this for the rest of time👌🏾✌🏾also love the videos, keep it up dude.

[@deltastudios6632]

I wold think the Universe-destroying thing is, in fact a feature. After all, Ben stated in AF that how much damage it causes is directly correlated to how long it charges for. As he demonstrated soon after, the Omnitrix can self-destruct with only 30 seconds of charge, causing a pretty harmless explosion. If it doesn't NEED the universe-wide blast to self-destruct, then it's probably made so the user can choose to make the Omnitrix into a universe-bomb. Probably as some last-resource kind of thing.

[@jetstreamjackie3437]

The Incarcecon intro scene blew me away when I rewatched this. A few of the aliens in the background almost looked like CG with how they're shaded, but that would've been an insane amount of work for one shot right? I guess the shading they chose for that is just reminiscent of early cel shading.

[@andrewmitchell2343]

Yknow, Incarcecon doesn't really seem like such a terrible place. You get to hang out with hundreds of like-minded scoundrels, you get free food, and most of these guys are just chilling despite supposedly being violent criminals. Certainly beats the Null Void.

[@ciarangleeson2880]

Okay, I have a few things to say: 1. I think that Dr Animo’s bug was supposed be some kind of hybrid of a Hornet and a Terrorantula. 2. I wish Eye Guy had a proper onscreen introduction (not nesessarily in the movie) because there were times when I didn’t recognise or remember him. 3. I think a lot of the aliens at Incarcecon are in Psyphon’s gang in Omniverse. 4. I sometimes wonder what the movie would be like if it included all of Ben’s enemies from space (and maybe Kevin too) or if Max went along with them.

Upon a rewatch I noticed that you snuck in a Reboot Ben silhouette in there when montaging all the movies, and honestly I'm so excited.

I have Eye Guy on my dvd so I always assumed that was the only version. It’s weird because that’s his only appearance in the original series. You would think they would’ve just kept it as Eye Guy to introduce him.

[@directorh6018]

It's nice to see Tetrax using his Petrosapien powers as in the episode 'Hunted', he calls Ben out for not using Diamondhead's powers to his full potential. And Tetrax certainly delivers as he takes them out in a pretty cool and OP way. For example what he did at 19:06. Would've been nice to see Diamondhead do that. Would be nice to see Ben learn from the other people who's species are of his alien more. Not saying it doesn't happen, but would be nice to see more. How deep the world building and the lore's really part of the essence of Ben 10 and why we love Ben 10 so much thanks to God's grace. When he comes back in season 3 of Alien Force in The Secret of Chromastone, like a lot of characters, they're different to how they were in the original series. Still loved that episode and it's still one of my favorites but as the usual trend goes, they didn't use Tetrax to his full potential and the way he conducts himself is different.

[@luhhchi]

22:10 to answer ur question whether the omnitrix tearing apart the whole entire universe is a feature or side effect, since the self destruct sequence had been charging up for days instead of a few minutes, the charge will be powerful enough to destroy the universe. in alien force when ben initiated the self destruct on vilgax, he only charged it up for a few minutes, thus not making it destroy the whole universe. so to answer ur question, side effect

[@jeanduresau]

It wasn't even minutes, it was just 30 seconds.

[@doctorplague6967]

I love this movie, and watching it again makes me wish the Ken 10 movies was given the movie treatment too. It'd come full circle having the two villains that were locked away in the Null Void come back in a longer episode format.

[@AutumnWoodham]

Pretty sure it was explained in the Alien Force finale that the SDM was only a treat to the universe because it was storing up power with its long charge time, as later on Ben gave Vilgax only 30 seconds to hand the omnitrix over.

The first series relies on extra bits to explain somethings, true why Myaxx was in jail isn’t that important but Ben knowing Tetrax’s name is a little bit more odd. Also Ben and Gwen’s lack of care for their parents is because they don’t matter as characters.

I guess he's watching them in order when they were aired, instead of watching them chronologically. Because chronologically Secrets of the Omnitrix is the ending to Ben 10 classic. While Goodbye and Good Riddance is the alternate ending where Ben became a public hero at the end of the summer, which most people theorize that it's Ben 10,000's timeline.

The XLR8 opening has a one-off power where he shoots off his fingers similar to Diamondhead. The wiki doesn't even mention it under his abilities.

[@iwanek4382]

I always thought that the reason why the explosion would destroy the universe was because the Omnitrix was practically indestructible. We even see in Omniverse that the Omnitrix survived the annihilargh so the force needed to destroy it must be at the very least universal + level.
