I wish Ben had therapy for his trauma. He faced many horrors as a teen, but he acted normal. UAF events would scar anyone. I like OV Ben for showing his mental state. Half of the stuff that happen in UAF would give basically anyone else PTSD. I mean, ngl, it's actually one of the many things I like Omniverse Ben for. Plus, I haven't been pushing for it anymore, but actually seeing this [21:53] I kinda understand the point of 5YL Ben a lot more. Cuz ngl he basically takes the "mental state being held by string" to the max and then more. 5YL Ben looks worse and makes sense. I left Ben 10, but 5YL brought me back. Thanks Kuro.

about the story escalating to quickly, I think it is because of the pacing of the story, it does not have the pacing of your average webcomic/fanfic (it is written in visual novel format, not webcomic), so, thought the chapters are long, with them being so sparse and few, it does feel like the story is a bit rushed. what i would say about the comic (not really a criticism, just an note) is that the art is great, you put way more work on it than other comics I see, but I am not sure what you are do with the story, I feel like you are just having fun with some character you like (which is very valid and I like, but some people may find weird). An example would be the Orion squad, which seems like a set of OCs for us to watch their story and see them grow, but instead they are just random characters we don't know that are thrown in a battle they have no place being, like, they don't even add much emotional stake because we don't know them. I also think that the comic is just a small part of the project, the things I really like about it is the worldbuilding we get on 'and beyond' and other discussions we get on the fandoms. and the great art, obviously.

[@zastroboy]

the thing with the story being just making some cool stuff because I wanna is very comum in fanfic, I just think that with this being such a great project people may have different expectations for it.

15:21 FYI Shadow is a SEGA character not a Nintendo one. And also, yes. He did have a stand-alone spin off where he outright murked people and casually said words like DAMN and Hell which were big deals at the time and made him a symbol of edginess on the internet. By the year 2010, that just became his default character trait and stayed that way until 2019 I believe. So his vampiric, low voice, edginess was recent enough for people to regard him as an edgelord and bring it up on this reddit thread. Love your work man. Keep it Fizzy!

[@fadassb]

Same, I thought it got really confusing in the latest chapters

[@Omniblox]

Same, but with first few (since I stopped reading it by then) but I would like to mention that besides a few comic strips here and there, I don't really read comics like these but the panel placement in some pages confused me. Also when it comes to the big artwork like the page where Gwen and Ben were there and there's this alien (?) there or where Eon(?) became an amalgamation of Ben's aliens, I either couldn't see the art bc of the color choices or there was just too much going on for me to decipher what it looks like.

I actually really like that 5YL made some aliens more organic looking, the main reason is because some of them you look at and go, “how the heck does that have DNA”

At around 15:15 , yes, Shadow has become the symbol of edginess, but I would describe it more accurately as "Wannabe Edge" because the most swearing in his solo game is saying "Damn" and the excessive gun use was just to keep up with all the shooters that were happening at the time. And to top it off, SEGA never has Shadow do any of this ever again and joke about it by changing Shadow's character from "misguided hero who wants to help and fix his mistakes" to "stubborn loner that's angry but still has friends". I could be paraphrasing or just be outright wrong, but that's basically how "edgy" Shadow gets.

Been following the channel since the season 4 classic breakdowns and here's something i want to tell. Every video on the channel feels like a well designed project, with a careful effort put on to every single detail and i always look onto these projects as being a full-fledged presentation of information in the most insightful and entertaining manner.

I don't know i don't find anyone more genuine on here than you guys( i know about the bodies) Anyways, about the critics, i must say that the over analysis of things often stems from ignorance and being judgemental. Having spend some time outside the social media bubble recently, i have begin to appreciate things more and i genuinely just enjoy 5yl for what it is. Yes i don't vibe with some character designs as well but the story is enough to hook me in and overshadow the flaws(being flawed is not negative guys).

So I honest think you and everyone who is working with you is doing awesome job bringing them together and showing how they look 5 years later for both the MCs and their teammates. Also I like how it still semi-kid friendly and still funny. The one thing I want to see (which you are probably going to do later) is Ben and Rook in Dannys world. Also, nice job on Bens design the goatee from his future self was a nice touch. Plus Danny design and 5 year backstory was every well thought out. I hope you all keep make them because I all wonder what kind of crossover these two would have and I think you hit the mark. Can't wait for episode 4.

The game however shoved in murder and swearing solely to "get with the times" in the 2000s. Like they showed Shadow murdering Sonic and human soldiers in the intro just for the edgy factor, which really gives the same vibe as Animo getting decapitated, it just feels jarring and like others said, for the shock value.

I feel like a lot of people struggle to separate preference from valid criticism. Because a lot of these complaints seem to be based on just how they would prefer the characters to look and act. It’s tricky, and I think everyone does it to an extent when the internet lets us constantly give our unfiltered thoughts.

[@animeamvs7863]

I think the biggest issue with way big is that he’s just naked. He’s a fleshy alien in your design and that’s fine, but fleshy aliens should have clothes. That’s why juryrigg looked so weird in ultimate alien but looks fine in omniverse. Imagine four arms, but he has no clothes at all. That would look weird. I don’t expect every single alien to have clothing, but I think it’s kind of backwards that heat blast gets leggings and way big gets nothing. And some of the aliens are just kind of like… why? Like echo echo. I’m not a fan of his redesign. His arms being in his head just look so funky and his head is too big. One of the appeals of echo echo was how small and sleek he looked. When redesigning a character, you have to keep their original concepts in mind and stay true to their character. It’s fine if it’s just a random design you wanted to post, but for a fan comic you can’t really get away with that. A lot of the concepts are interesting, but not every concept needs to see the light of day you know? Also, it’s great that you’re giving other artists the chance to be in your comic through their designs, but you (unknowingly?) stated the reason why that’s a bad idea. Most artists aren’t gonna want their designs to be changed too much because… well, it’s their designs. And it wouldn’t feel like their designs anymore if they were changed too much. So by having different artists’ designs in the comic, it makes the art style really inconsistent and messy. For example, I think your ghost freak and xlr8 are great because they stay true to the character and don’t add too much to them that makes them feel like a different character. Wildmutt is in the middle because he does look like wildmutt, but the horn was maybe adding a bit too much. Maybe instead of it being a base design, you could’ve had it been a feature of your omnitrix to include battle armor for aliens that wouldn’t normally have them. Overall the designs aren’t anything to get upset about. I will say though that it is kind of hypocritical to say that the ghosts are reality warpers and that’s why they beat alien x, but when it came to green lantern beating him, his feats weren’t all too relevant anymore. Trust me, I hate that he won and especially in the way that he did, but I feel like we should keep consistency or else it makes us look really bad. The ghosts are reality warpers, but typically only in one domain. Time, dreams, fire, ice, etc. Rarely can they do it all at once. So I feel like alien x still should’ve won just due to his sheer presence and mastery over his omnipotence you know? My personal headcanon for alien x is that because only Ben is controlling him, he’s much weaker and doesn’t have access to his true powers/true omnipotence. In order for alien x to be at his strongest, he needs all 3 minds to become one and all agree on the decisions, or else his power is greatly diminished. Since having only one mind control alien x goes against his entire character. So maybe that could be a fun way to nerf his abilities without having to jeopardize his actual strength and character?

ive personally adored your guy's stuff. the artstyle im neutral about, but honestly, the approach to how you guys designed things (the ultimates, the sayians, the redesigns) has personally inspired and drastically helped improve my own art skills. also as someone who was a huge fan of both danny phantom AND ben 10 growing up, the whole "5YL" project was mind blowing when i first found it!

Funnily enough, that's... exactly what Shadow does in his game. He doesn't say fuck, but he does say damn a lot and the occasional hell. Like, when he gets hurt he goes "dammit" and when he dies he goes "damn not here." In one of the endings, he tells Eggman he's going to "send you straight to Hell". And indeed, there are multiple missions in the game where you have to kill a certain number of humans. Granted, the game relies on a morality system, so you can avoid those missions if you want, but yeah.

[@Hadeks_Marow]

My only issue with the comic is at first, it feels like a gen10 heroes united kind of story that fits well within the scope of the canon. . . that's how it feels at first. But when you start putting characters like Invader Zim in and. . . it starts to feel like a shoe-horned "gather all the IPs up in a single cross-over regardless of how well they fit together" kind of a deal. Like something requested by network executives to the marketing teams in the early 2000s. Or one of those bad nick cross-over games _(sorry nick all-stars but you apply 2)._ I just feel like minor additions like that are just a bit. . . over-reaching? I mean, with a name like "5 Years Later", it sounds as if it's supposed to take a serious approach to set the headcanon future for both heroes. Like, this IS where THEIR future is and they just "happened" to cross-over. The universal tones align enough so it doesn't disconnect me too much. I mean, hey, danny's whole future character arc is becoming a scientist in this story, so, again, it narratively and tonally fits. But when you shoehorn more "comedy"-centered shows in. . . well, it stands out as much as catdog would, and I wouldn't like to hear rook dissecting what kind of alien catdog is. :/ Keep in mind, I would feel the same way even if you just randomly thrown generator rex in, and I LOVE rex. Over-crossovering the cross-over just defocuses the focus, and I don't exactly like that. I just prefer a tighter focus when it comes to scope, where anything less/grander just makes it feel like a less serious approach. That's just my personal taste though.

How, they're both superhero cartoons starring teen heros with family members involved in the paranormal. Both have a really unique spin on their main superhero who needs to learn lessons about being a more responsible adult. Both featured large expansive universes with numerous recurring characters and complex lore. And both were headliners in their owner company's big crossovers. Both also played around with time travel and alternate dimensions to begin with.

@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 one is an episodic cartoony paranormal ghost superhero show with a mostly not serious tone.

And even then it was still an episodic superhero cartoon with silly episodes and characters at points. This is the same show that ended with Ben recreating the whole universe from scratch. At a certain point it just became ridiculous. The Ninja Turtles aren't even a fraction of even Danny's power let alone Ben's, Ben would NOT need their help lol. They're just Turtles with weapons lol. People like these two shows for being massively-popular, unique superhero shows at the peak of their networks. I do think he could've thrown in Teenage Robot or El Tigre or Generator Rex though too.

[@ChangedMyNameFinally69]

@@Z3r0_L1f3 It kinda is. Massive retcons and blatant lore contradictions from the first show (I absolutely LOATHE Kevin and Gwen being aliens and their powers being changed and the show making anything magical secretly an alien, or the Plumbers being an intergalactic organization for years), character contradictions (Azmuth and Vilgax's personality changes, Ben randomly not wearing the watch at the beginning of the show, them not even trying to fit with the 10k timeline to the point they made a completely different Ben 10 Thousand later), and just general character decisions I disagreed with like making Gwen date Kevin/Ben's love life being a revolving door (should've just made Gwen his love interest like the original idea instead of his cousin), or Ben's personality reverting back to ten years old after defeating the Highbreed in season 3 when in the first two seasons he acted mature and got along with Gwen. Speaking of Highbreeds, I hate how by the end of UA Ben had saved the universe multiple times and there was constant time travel and dimensional travel. I just miss the smaller stakes of the original show where usually Ben would save a few people's lives every episode and only occasionally the world. I love Omniverse but it had this issue too. I like Kuro but who the fuck cares if Ben can beat Goku though, overpowered characters are boring and only work if they reach that at the end of the show. Often they'll still get defeated in dumb way anyway, which happened to Ben too. The tone shift was also reflected in the art style shift, it went from this unique animeish comic book style with elements of 90s grossout to this C-tier DCAU knockoff. Some redesigns are awful like Charmcaster or Gwen or Vilgax, and it's reflected in the alien designs too, which just looked like guys in suits because this became a superhero cartoon instead of an adventure show. They were also just repeats of the originals. It's a very dull art style, I love Dwayne MacDuffie especially for his work with DC but it's obvious that sorta writing style doesn't really work with Ben 10 or the animation style. Mind you this show would also do dumb shit like have an episode about rodent aliens with gold poop. It ended weak as hell too. It's not a completely bad show, it had great ideas and the humor got funnier as it went on, but it felt like a slap in the face of people who liked the first show and its the weakest of the three. I much prefer Omniverse because it's a balance of both previous shows and it tried to undo the dumber changes UAF made. Sorry for the long rant lol. I like DP and Ben 10 equally? Ben 10 had less restrictions because there was no Butch Hartman and CN actually likes action shows unlike Nick, it had a more interesting and fleshed out lore but DP was more consistently good, it didn't fumble as bad as Ben 10, only really in the last season. And it felt more focused on the trials of youth whereas UAF and Omniverse just forget Ben is supposed to be in high school sometimes, which is what I liked about Ben in the original show, he showed his age. There's so much wasted potential with young Ben especially. Saying DP isn't dark is hilarious, the ghosts were dead people in the early seasons and there's an entire storyline about Danny's future self killing off most of humanity, way darker than anything Ben 10 did ngl. Future Ben was just a dick. Spider-Man comics aren't dark? Carnage doesn't ring a bell?
