Explaining The Sentient Plants Of Ben 10 (Ben 10 Explained)

[@sullvine7575]

wildvine being unlocked while ben was near the mycelium could mean that the omnitrix can also unlock transformations by sensing connections between the 2 species witch could also explain how ben unlocked rath as a transformation in the episode con of rath the omnitrix sensed the connection between lewodans and appoplexians (just a little theory)

[@OlliepopVT]

That'd be interesting, and I'd definitely say it makes sense!

[@ayoublahrach4169]

My personal theory is that the appoplexian DNA was so pissed to the point that it forced the Omnitrix to unlock it so it can fight with the lewodan

[@OlliepopVT]

@ayoublahrach4169 Honestly I think that's completely reasonable to believe lol

[@Doddser]

Considering Azmuth built the Omnitrix partially as a way for species to come closer together, and is aware of these connections - actively choosing transformations who have geopolitical or biological relationships to one another.

[@EHDYT-584]

@@OlliepopVTfun fact it is already stored as myax took the dna of wildvine when he was possessed by zscar absorbing both dna meaning that wildvine should have came before canonbolt

[@ebensennett3095]

I always hated how they made Wildvines eye green in Ov. I know why they did it, but it just looks so much better blue with the little thingies on his shoulders

[@OlliepopVT]

Yeah, it doesn't stand out as much, and the design was already 99% green so it doesn't help lol

[@rivelinorahmadyanirawanpra1469]

Yellow wouldve worked much better tbh. More natural and more eye catching personally

[@totallytravicious]

That pop up trivia about wildvine is probably retconned considering we meet other flouranas in omniverse and that nature dude DEFINITELY wasn't just going off instinct, he was pretty normal in terms of intelligence. So at least SOME members of the species break the mold and have more upgraded intelligence. I'd imagine vulpimancers are similar considering ben 10s stance on beings with intelligence controlling more primal animalistic forms being a big no no.

[@bartman156.]

I have 2 guesses. Possibility 1, the aggressive ones are a more primitive subspecies of the intelligent ones, or vice versa. Possibility 2, the aggressive ones are either babies, which are more primitive and rely on instinct until they gain enough nutrients to build their nervous system enough to contain a consciousness, and/or elders, or unlucky members, who's nervous system has deteriorated due to age or illness, like Dementia or Alzheimer's in humans except they become feral. The reason there could be so many feral ones in the second case could be because the chances of one of their back seeds growing into a new Florauna are so low, that by the time one or two have come out, the parent plant has nearly or already reached old age.

[@totallytravicious]

@bartman1566 this is the type of stuff I'd like to see explored in speculative biology and evolution. Prime sci fi material, but I understand why ben 10 wouldn't be the show to explore something like that. Still tho

[@shadowhell8378]

It is possible that the eyes of wild vine and swamp fire work like human eyes do but there "brains" are wired different so while they do see with there eyes it's most likely for a different reason like finding good patches of sunlight of caves for shelter from powerful storms and they use there sense of smell the same way we use sight on a day to day basis. The reason ben uses sight in those forms primary is he is still human mentally and is instinctually programmed to use sight over the other senses to get around.

[@Den3zo]

I love scientific worldbuilding fan theories, and Ben 10 has such potential with so many aliens that seem so unrealistic could be explained looking at our own planet. Great video, I'm hoping to see more of those types of discussions

[@OlliepopVT]

I'm super glad to hear that you enjoyed this video! I can confirm, I've got more similar discussions on the way!

[@researcherchameleon4602]

Real world fungi essentially act as living telephones for trees with their mycelium network, so that is probably how it can communicate with plants

[@themidnightbanshee5927]

I'd like to point out that swamp fires stretching is likely literal instead of rapid increase and decrease in cells, as grass literally stretches its cells to grow

[@keeya5884]

Now we need the lore behind the war they had with the zombies

[@LogRamBry]

I don't know if you have, but a series doing this with other Ben 10 species would be awesome!

[@OlliepopVT]

I'd love to make more videos discussing the biology and evolution of different Ben 10 aliens!

[@lordhades8025]

10:49 The text that flashes across the screen is "And that they can shit."

[@e.m.m.i6054]

I have another example of plants achieving sentience in fiction in the form of Godzilla Earth who also has a high degree of intelligence likely around a very smart chimpanzee or dolphin

[@SviaGnaot]

Content like this gives me so much dopamine. I just love ben10 being explained

[@OlliepopVT]

I know!!! It's always so fun

[@chaosoli33]

Those are super interesting and complicated ideas but I think the idea of them just being plants wich evolved similiar like humans and developed eyes, brains and other stuff. But I’d say the regrowing thing is like a unconscious thing coded into the cells itself because even when it’s brain is broken he reforms

[@TheOnlyDweeb]

I love your videos. Using biology to describe fictional and so logical creatures is a very interesting topic

Well manual breathing is done through the mouth usually, and mouth-breathing is confirmed to be bad for your health in the long run, so I'm not sure?

[@sunshinecarnivores1919]

Mycelium are NOT plants. They are in fact fungus which has more in common with animals instead of plants.

[@OlliepopVT]

I know, but I lumped them in with the plants because the justification for their sentience was similar enough that it wouldn't make sense to discuss it in a separate video

[@AncientBeast65]

Probably Lewodan mother sired a Tiffin from an Appoplexian. Otherwise why she'd be compliant to Rath's words.

[@sagexyz441]

Mycelium’s a plant? Thought it was fungi

[@ryanbitter574]

You are correcto

[@OlliepopVT]

Correct! I included them in the video for the sake of having to make a separate video on them when they're so similar in terms of how they could potentially be sentient
