hi notification squad

[@S1uzhiko]

Thanks btw I have a theory why bens omnitrix is grey as a kid when he’s in alien form My Theory is the device is locked therefore it is in a grey state that’s why Ben can’t just tap on it to turn back but the only reason vilgax could was because he put his finger on it and keep in mind his finger was glowing red indicating a sense of heat and As seen before (Ben 10 secrets of the omnitrix when entangled in certain frequencies the devices modes start to switch rapidly so that’s why his finger was glowing red indicating heat So the frequency must’ve turned Ben back thats why Ben can turn alien to alien by hitting his watch in alien force and other shows bec the omnitrix is green indicating it’s unlocked that’s why anyone can just tap it to turn Ben back and the reaosn in forge of creation when past Ben meets future Ben future Ben turns ben back from heatblast to human with ease is because the omnitrix (prototype) was damaged when that guy removed feedback from the omnitrix since past Ben was 11 in the episode I hope you enjoyed my theory ink tank and please If you use this in a post or anything like a video please give me some credit :)

I remembered doing the Kevin's Car contest, I really wanted to win that car for my dad. I was 7 at the time, and was bummed when I didn't win and my mom it was nice of me trying. Whenever we saw a car like the one in the contest, my mom would always refer to it as "the Ben 10 car". Now I'm 18 and unfortunately my dad has since passed away a couple years back. Watching this video really took me back to those days. Also, I was a fan of Generator Rex before the crossover, and I thought the crossover was the coolest thing when it aired.

[@johnbalewula4030]

You recall, and actually had the privilege of doing Kevin's Car Contest in the past? I had no idea it was even a thing, a contest or that it existed! I'm a seriously, over the top, massive Ben 10 fan!! I can admire that and I find that cool to think about, be happy you participated in the contest and gave 100% to win the car for your dad! You sure must've been, it's Kevin's Car but more importantly a Dodge Challenger, in the colours of Kevin eleven's car, green and black, super duper cool! Your mom is correct and it was, without a shadow of a doubt, worth the shot and all your effort and your father must've thought it was thoughtful and cool of you to do something like that for him and focus heavily on something awesome! Really, "The Ben 10 car?" nice, nice, she isn't too far off but that's the way she remembers the memories so it's cool but maybe "The Kevin car" can work more but hey it's the times that make it special. I'm truly crushed, sadden and apparently it's a word, mainly used for tragic events "Sadden", in despair, just sorry to hear that dramatic turn of events, when I was reading this comment I didn't think it would take this type of turn but you still have your life and your father will always be with you in your heart and you will see him again! He won't ever be forgotten, his passing is such a massive tragedy and his life is what has to be celebrated, you must think of him each and every day I can only imagine! Like I saw somewhere for the former living legend, who's just a legend now Kobe Bean Bryant who passed away as well last year sadly, I saw this post that described what you should think and how you should think about the passing of people. "Be happy and glad they were born not sad that they're gone." I hope that helps and Ben 10 is now something you can look back on as something that on one occasion connected you with your father and mother, plus potentially your whole family, but only you would know, of course. So it makes you a super Ben 10 fan, and gives you more of a reason to be a Ben 10 fan!

I read a theory somewhere. Race against time features an alternate yet similar version of Ben prime and that Ben turns into eon at the end of the movie. While the original eon dies, this Ben may lose control of the eon transformation in the future and become eon himself, like how zskar tried to take control over him. That's how the ben-eon we know in Ben primes universe comes from. So race against time is basically an origin story of the ben-eon.

You didn't mention it initially, but the Ben 10/Secret Saturdays crossover extends much deeper than just the Omniverse episode "T.G.I.S." At one point, Galvan Prime is mentioned by name ("Guess Who's Going To Be Dinner") and Amino, Enoch and Hex all appear as cameos ("Van Rook's Apprentice" and "Cryptid Vs. Cryptid"). Furthermore, a Pop-Up Trivia note mentions Ben's third favorite TV Show behind SumoSlammers is Weird World, hosted by Secret Saturdays main antagonist V.V. Argost.

Yeah, I think it was the secret scientist Dr. Beemer, who specifically studies aliens, that mentioned Galvan Prime, so they definitely had the lore seeded in there. And in T.G.I.S., Doc says that they know the Plumbers and have worked with Max before. And with Weird World, Ben absolutely told Zak that he knew the show, he just never got to watch it like that because Sumo Slammers came on at the same time. The shows were very intertwined with each other.

I think the DNA thing is more like “needs some form of building block to mimic” sorta which works for most things, echo echo has blueprints, alien x actually seems to have DNA, but Anadites (spell check) are pure energy which isn’t something the technology can understand and reproduce. Like maybe it could create the energy but it can’t make it sentient. Also magic. The Omnitrix seems to be rooted in technology alone and Gwen is outside that because, to the best of my knowledge, magic is actually magic in that universe instead of just science they can’t explain which is common in sci-fi and fantasy.

One of the things I find stupid with the whole “no DNA” argument is this. Ben would technically be 1/4 anodite right. If Azmuth were to say use the Omnitrix to scan Ben, there is that chance that he could get the anodite powers as well, Definitely if he were to scan Gwen right since there is enough of a “mutation” in their DNA to constitute a difference similar to Upchuck right? I mean considering an Ectonurite’s mind exists in a single strand of DNA and “Ghostfreak”/Zs’Skarr despite possessing another spieces had his DNA scanned at the same time clearly the Omnitrix is that advanced. Plus isn’t P’andor/NRG mutated Species that have becoming Radioactive Energy contructs themselves?

[@SuperSayianWarrior]

@@BrandonTBlackwell Pyriptosian B’s generate so much though that they HAVE become living energy, as shown when Pand’or who was not electrical traveled via powerlines to the nearby power plant. To do that he would have to be made of energy. The whole excuse of “Anodites being Pure energy and thus have no DNA” is a cop out to keep Gwen unique. A better explanation would be what you said, that their genetic Code is nothing like DNA as that solves that issue and doesn’t create valid arguments like this.

24:00 I recently watched Alien Force and Ultimate Alien for the first time. When they did that self aware joke I thought it was funny and kinda what I was feeling at the time. But UAF grew on me. To the point where it was Omniverse messing it up. Though I still miss classic Ben 10,000 with Evil Kevin. Also this self aware joke seemed more light hearted and in good faith to fans rather than something like Teen Titans Go, that activity slapped older fans in the face with their self aware jokes, even having a fat old character with a "Teen Titans Go ruined my childhood" sign being a representation of the older fans in the Teen Titans Go vs Teen Titans film, not to mention all the other self aware jokes at the expense of fans in the tv show.

My own head cannon about Ben not being able to become an anodite is because of them being made of mana, my reasoning is that the Omnitrix has never, throughout the series reacted well to mana, majority of the time reacting dangerously or in a way that messed it or a transformation up for a period of time

You know I agree that Ben is more capable than using the Omnitrix than Gwen, despite the fact that Gwen has more patience and serenity that alternate counterpart of hers has proved to be better at using the device than her cousin, achieving better results and with fewer errors in that timeline, Ben is a lot more daring and brave like you said and has much more to learn than Gwen learning it easier due to her patience and maturity even if Ben also mature and became smarter and have learn and earn it more than her. Here's the thing, I see that Gwen using the Omnitrix as an easier route than Ben because of her personality being more mature and smarter than Ben when there younger, and might as well be even more skilled that Servantis and the Rooters of her timeline might not see her as a threat and try to manipulate her (instead of killing her which is interesting but also still planning on killing her because they still see her as a threat if she didn't join the rooters or something). I see Ben more as someone that uses the long route, someone that always screw up and cheat his way that backfires horribly that not only it affects him but others around him that allows him to learn from his mistakes and knows when to takes things seriously, maybe that's the reason why the Rooters see him as a threat because its not of his immaturity despite Ben always shows it, no its his unpredictability, diversity and maturity because even if Ben doesn't show it he does takes things seriously and with patience too when he fights Vilgax, The Highbreed, Aggregor, Malware, The Forever Knights, Khyber, and Dagon and even if he fails back when he was ten he learns from it. That's the reason why I think Ben is better than Gwen when using the Omnitrix not because Gwen achieves better results and fewer errors than him but because he learns from his own mistakes, fixes them and becomes a better person after it, that's why I think Ben earns the Omnitrix better than Gwen, because Ben will take the long route to achive his goal even if he screws up along the way he learns from those mistakes and continues onwards maturing, learning, getting smarter, stronger and earning the title of bearer of the Omnitrix, Savior of the Universe and Hero of Heroes.
