THE REVIEW
I watch each episode with my own commentary, often pausing the scenes to get my words out without having to talk over the episode, and also to point out and analyze the show's art and animation. I have seen each episode already growing up, so these reviews are to compare and contrast the five categories listed below.
PLOT (Scaled from 1 to 5 Points)
The foundation of the episode. Uniqueness and overused tropes are taken into account, but it is also judged on how well it tells the story of the episode. An episode can score a 5 even with a basic/ cliche plotline as long as it has good pacing, worthy use of its tropes, and feels well-polished. An episode can lose points due to plotholes, uneven storytelling, and relying too heavily on cliches to do the work for it.
CHARACTERIZATION (Scaled from 1 to 5 Points)
How well the characters are written. Do they feel like themselves compared to the grand narrative of the franchise? Are the supporting or one-off characters interesting, or pure plot devices? Did the humor land? Did the actions and character motivations make sense?
VISUALS (Scaled from 1 to 5 Points)
Basically, everything that happens on-screen. Character Design. Animation. Backgrounds. Creative mechanics and solutions. If there is CGI or digital effects added, how well do they blend into the show, and were they used as an enhancement, or a crutch?
IMPORTANCE (Scaled from 1 to 5 Points)
This includes, but is not strictly based on, how important the episodes are to the current story arc (if there is one) or the general narrative of the Ben 10 Franchise. Points can also be awarded for how impactful the episode was, or how favored/ important it is to the general Ben 10 fanbase. I ask myself, "If I skipped this, would I be missing out on the 'Ben 10 Experience?' "
ENTERTAINMENT (Scaled from 1 to 5)
Pretty much the most important part of developing a tv show. You can be perfect in all four of the previous categories, but the episode can still be boring. On the flip side, the episode can be absolute garbage, but still an enjoyable watch. How likely would you be to put this episode on if you were in the mood to watch Ben 10?

[@amaelboisson5439]

This statement is not really about this breakdown, but I like the fact that in Omniverse, they made Albedo look like young 11yo Ben, just so they could keep Tara Strong, because the idea of this show was to keep the Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Strong Bens together, they found really creative way to made it happen regularly, young Albedo is one of them :) I don't know the franchise enough to remember everything about it, but from what I remember I like Albedo, starting with this episode ^^

[@andrews4717]

Plus it was pretty entertaining to hear a ten year old use words like Aprocrychal

[@100-People]

When Albedo says “it synchronizes across space and time” He could be referring to the fact it synchronizes to real time or something. Like if he synched it at the time he made it, whatever signal he’d need would take super long to get to Galvan prime.

[@franciscorui]

Yeah, even things like send a message via text has some sort of delay to them even if the delay is incredibly small. And the delay would increase the more distance there is. But if you could minutely manipulate space-time it wouldn't be a problem.

[@twinodoom]

I think it's that the link between Albedo's Omnitrix and Ben's would persist no matter where he goes, even if he were to time travel.

[@animo358]

I always figured he meant the lifespan of the Omnitrix. Surely Galvan's have known about Tachyons and moderate temporal manipulation for millenia now. In fact this discovery is probably why Azmuth and Paradox even know each other. As there seems to be some sort of organic balance of which species can and can't manipulate time. Or it could have been futureproofing for times like when they swapped present and past bens minds. Or it's Albedo trying to look even more smart to a species he no doubt considers inferior. Scifi seems to love throwing the idea both towards human hatred and making it "Spacetime" instead of Space to generate the idea of extreme intellect in a species.

[@michaelcarlton1484]

So it IS a watch.

[@khamareshields9105]

The space and time synchronization actually comes back up in Omniverse when Teen Ben and Young Ben switch minds. Paradox tells to transform into Chrono-Sapians (Clockwork) which Young Ben doesn’t unlock until later. But because both Bens press the watches at the same time, it allows them to both become Clockwork. Another time to note would be when Ben Prime and Ben 23 both turn into Grey Matter at the same time to undo the randomizer controling the other’s Omnitrix

[@Pryderi_]

I just noticed, Albedo calls himself the ‘builder’ of the omnitrix in this episode, while Azmuth is often called the ‘creator’ of the omnitrix. Maybe they’re both true, and Albedo is just the guy who assembled the omnitrix but Azmuth invented/designed it

19:59 I feel like this is clearly Azmuth talking about Grandpa Max. Azmuth reveals in the Alien Force finale that he wanted to take back the omnitrix from Ben immediately, but Max was the one who convinced him that Ben was capable. As for why this is a "surprise", it's probably because Azmuth knows that Max is alive in the Null Void, but Max doesn't want Ben chasing him or getting distracted by Animo, and wants him focused on taking down the Highbreed instead since they pose a larger threat.

[@notyours807]

@@TheRoboRyan I was on the same page as you. Especially because he and Paradox act as if they're already acquainted with one another in "War of the Worlds Part 1," which is the first time we as the audience see them interact. There's also the exchange in "Forge of Creation" that heavily implies that Paradox informing Azmuth about Ben's eventual "grand destiny" as a legendary hero played a big part in his decision to allow him to keep the Omnitrix. Hell, even the statement as he's disappearing about how there will be many difficult trials ahead could be interpreted as a hint that he's already received firsthand knowledge from Paradox.

With Azmuth saying "there can only be one Omnitrix", and Kuro bringing up when we learn about Primus... We do find out in UA that other omnimatrix cores can interfere with each other's connections to Primus. In the episode where Ben goes to Spider Monkey's home planet, the Unitrix unintentionally messes with the Ultimatrix's connection to Primus meaning Ben can't transform And even here with Albedo we see that since both his Omnitrix and Bens Omnitrix are connected to the same database, Albedo's Omnitrix uses the original as all it's defaults.

[@IronLegionnaire1]

@@BrandonTBlackwell well, at the very least the new Omnitrix can I believe the prototype and ultimatrix, if either still existed, would operate the same original way? Unless we follow the theory that Alien X rebooted the universe and changed some things and made it that Primus never existed and no Omnitrix has ever needed it But as far as i know there's nothing concrete to confirm or deny that But yeah with the new Omnitrix, unless there was ANOTHER rule we didn't know about, Albedo would've been fine

[@hattoripool1533]

When I was younger I always thought that the reason that Albedo’s Aliens and Ultimate Aliens looked a lot more different in Omniverse was because the fact that when his human form got corrupted it would slowly get worst as time went on to the point where it not only started to affect his transformations but his aliens would no longer be just red eyed versions of Ben’s aliens and his Ultimate Aliens would get slightly different traits. Do you guys think this makes sense?

Albedo was such a nice twist on the "Evil Clone/Twin" trope. Like Kuro said, he's not a clone of Ben nor is he's Ben's twin. Just a guy who just so happen to look like Ben due to circumstances outside of his control and Yuri Lowenthal did an amazing job voicing Albedo in UAF and a few episodes of Omniverse. He uses his Ben voice but give him this intellectual tone and speech pattern that only a Galvin could provide, something I don't feel Tara did well since it just fail into the Evil Ben trope. And a point towards Omniverse more than UAF but I do like how Albedo's color scheme for his aliens are different from Ben's which play into the fit that Albedo's DNA got corrupted by Ben's omnitrix, it even carry over to his normal Galvin form which we saw in Ultimate Alien. In like Kuro said, if Albedo just been up front with them about his situation than maybe he wouldn't have to go through all that hell just to get his normal form but I think Albedo just being so irrational and egoistical is what makes him a great character and make all the episodes he appeared in going forward since a treat.

Honestly, I always felt bad for Albedo after ‘Double or Nothing’ in ultimate alien. Its seems like he’s truly cut his losses and just wants to get off Earth (not necessarily back to Galvin Prime, but probably just ANYWHERE) and out of Ben’s form. He’s tried to kill him twice now, even teaming up Vilgax and that plan ended horribly. So he learnt. Trying to take Ben’s omnitrix is not going to work so he ended up building a machine to fix his form. But to even build that, he needed money. He had no ID or legal identification, hell, probably not even a bank account. But he single handedly came up with a show (which making a whole successful stage show is impressive enough. He’s a scientist not a theatre kid) to use his predicament to help him earn money to eat. He wasnt trying to get Ben’s attention with the show to spite him, quite the opposite. He doesnt even explicitly claim to be the real Ben Tennyson, he could be claiming he’s just a look alike. But JUST as he’s earnt enough money to finish his machine, Ben walks back into his life and literally blows up all his hard work, accusing him that he was building a bomb and leaving him permanently stuck in a human form with only able to transform back to his original form for a few seconds. Honestly to me? That sounds like hell on earth, being never be able to go home and stuck in a body that isnt my own. I dunno, I guess that tugs at my heart strings a little. If the show had been a bit more adult, I wouldve loved to explore his body dysmorphia and his fish out of water life living on Earth. He’s an interesting character to think about and I dont think my what-if fascination with Albedo will die anytime soon.

[@whatis4295]

Something interesting that I've realized when I watched this, post realizing that I'm trans, is, Albedo is in a way, a trans allegory. Namely, instead of being transgender, Albedo is trans-species. Changing from human to galvin. So, I understand Albedo's frustration with constantly being denied his correct species. He could've gone through with getting Ben's help in a much better way, by just asking. I will say, present day me, had I been Ben with my irl knowledge and experience, I'd worked to convince Azmuth to help Albedo and make him pay restitution for his crimes another way.

[@dr0g_Oakblood]

15:43 - I think the point with Brainstorm is that he is very much the meme of trying too hard to prove that he is smart. Like he is clearly capable of holding a conversation with Azmuth, and the Nemetrix being made by a Cerebrocrustecean as well is proof enough that the species is clearly meant to actually be smart, but his mannerisms are that of someone insecure in their intellect.

The whole "it synchronizes across space and time" thing makes sense to me. Since time travel becomes such a prominent feature in the series, it could mean that no matter what timeline Albedo finds himself in, his Omnitrix will always sync up in real time with Ben Prime's. Maybe that's how Azmuth locks Albedo into 11 year old Ben's body, by changing the synchronization's "time-stamp" to a much earlier time.

[@mickys8065]

Also unless the primus linked exceeds lightspeed, it would take a long time for the signal to reach the watch, so minimal time travel would bypass the distance delay

I also think that Albedo’s not just asking for help is kind of in character. Pride is a powerful thing that can make you do very dumb things. But still that's an interesting thought experiment, what if he had just approached the group and admitted he screwed up and because of past disagreements with Azmuth he's asking Ben and friends for help because Azmuth won't.

[@mechajay3358]

Yep, he's a Galvan with an overinflated ego. He would not even consider asking for help and just assumes that he could take Ben's Omnitrix and can turn back to his original form himself.

[@RedDragonForce2]

“I’m not the only one” could mean a myriad of People. Honestly, one that doesn’t necessarily spoil Max being alive is that Azmuth could tell Ben that Max believed it too, keeping with the past tense to make it vague. It could also be Gwen and Kevin, his teammates and friends, because even through the trials that come during Season 3 for Kevin, he still believed in Ben. And Gwen’s already proven it throughout the original series, and continues to do so. One more option here. One that not many actually think about. The Omnitrix itself. It’s a level 20 tech, so it has some form of sentience on some level, always giving the alien Ben needs, rather than a select few he wants. I remember reading a fanfiction delving into the idea of a sentient Omnitrix, and it would make sense. Ben has proven his worth, and the Omnitrix knows it.

[@Advent10II7]

With regards to Albedo, I’ve had ideas running around in my head, that I want to get off my mind, about how he might be slightly rewritten, after thinking about Albedo’s origin and how his motivations have changed across Alien Force to Omniverse (and the weirdly surprising amount of fanart and fanfic of people wanting a redeemed or at least more heroic Albedo). I imagine Albedo serving as more of a foil to Ben, highlighting some of his flaws while also reaffirming as the correct choice as wielder of the Omnitrix. To begin, the reason Albedo became a villain in the first place was because he felt he was a better fit for the Omnitrix, not trusting some mere human with its power. So, this should be reflected with how Albedo uses his copy in the time he spends not trying to restore his original form. Maybe Albedo does act as a hero in his own way, going around and saving alien worlds and fighting criminals or trying to use the Omnitrix in a more utilitarian manner in general, but compared to Ben, he’s more cold and logical, and also less openly empathetic; He’s the kind of guy that is willing to kill the few to save the many, contrasted with Ben who does whatever he feels is rights and sticks by it (for example, when he went back to save the Sentinel in the Perplexahedron). To elaborate further, Albedo puts more focus on using logic and his intelligence to solve crises, trying to find the perfect alien for every situation and calculate the best use. This is contrasted to Ben, who often uses the wrong alien, but is more creative in his utility and often finds a way to come out on top. I had an idea how this could be openly shown, maybe even as a bit of a meta joke with the fandom, in one fight, Ben and Albedo fight by transforming into Fasttrack and XLR8 respectively, with Albedo disparaging Ben’s choice since Fasttrack is slower, but Ben still winning by using Fasttrack in a more creative manner, playing to his advantages. Overall, Ben’s better morality, creativity, adaptability are what makes him one of the best choices to wield the Omnitrix, even if others believe they could use it better. To continue, Ben’s better qualities as a hero can play into Albedo’s flaws, namely his arrogance and maybe a superiority-inferiority complex, where maybe he tries to one-up Ben as a hero with his perceived superior qualities, and is mainly reflected in the Ultimatrix, which is literally about one-upping the alien transformations. Overall, Ben still wins by his better qualities mentioned before, namely his creativity and team work skills. In conclusion, this is part of an inner contrast that’s already present in the show, where Albedo tries to tout himself as a superior being, but is ultimately bogged down by his own irrationalities and ego. These are just my thoughts, and I just wanted to put them out there, and this felt like a good time and place to do it. Edit: On another note, I’ve thought it would be cool that, in a Ben 10 video game with extremely refined mechanics and accurate Master Control (the player can quickly switch between accurate aliens in real time combat for some crazy combos), Albedo would work as a boss by utilizing and switching between extremely powerful ultimate versions of the aliens, albeit with a more limited playlist if he doesn’t have an Omnitrix, but rather a genetic stabilizer. With the ultimates much too powerful to take on with a single alien, the player has to throw pretty much every alien and combo they got to take down Albedo, taking full advantage of the Master Control quick switch and the player’s greater alien diversity than Albedo if he is just using a genetic stabilizer, not an Omnitrix. This fight showcases how, when it comes down to it, Ben’s creativity is what allows him to come out on top, not just the strict abilities of his aliens.

[@GreaterGrievobeast55]

With the prequel episode in omniverse showing what albedo was like before he tried making his own omnitrix, I can get behind the idea of him thinking he was more fit for the watch then “a mere human.” His constant questing to be rid of his ben form is compelling, but it also gets in the way of what he might do once its gone. So i’m conflicted. *but maybe he is as well?* Like I can see albedo doing things the way azmuth might’ve expected the omnitrix to be used; only to twist them around. “Walking in the shoes of other species.” Learning to best exploit their strengths and weaknesses. Promoting peace? More like Albedo setting up cabal alliances between some species and setting up others for infighting. Kind of like how kevin pretended to be ben while doing crimes. Thaat moght be a bit too much on the evil side but maybe if it took place during later arcs when albedo was pushed to hit mental limits? Hmmm I do think it would be better for ben to learn how to beat albedo’s ultimates by taking advantage of the abilities the evolved forms lose. Showing ben ingenuity and how the original forms aren’t made obsolete. I think i’d still like him on the villain side overall yet I think I wanna see him do some legit good guy stuff at least once! Also…can he have khybers cat? Saw some fanart of that and it was cute. Seems fair if kevin gets Zed

[@Advent10II7]

@@GreaterGrievobeast55 I really liked your idea of how Albedo would twist Azmuth’s ideals for the Omnitrix. And also, thanks for your point in the first paragraph, bringing up how interesting Albedo’s goal to regain his original form is interesting, but leaves him lacking when he gets it back. I alluded to this in my comment, with how Albedo’s motives changed, from wanting to regain his form to simple, petty revenge and a superiority complex by Omniverse. Ben even points out to Albedo that he’s now “a Galvan again! So go away and live out your little Galvan life somewhere, away from me!” This is part of why I find the potential rewrite interesting, as it gives Albedo a more lasting, specific motivation.

[@anthonyvillanueva5226]

Because they turned Kevin into a good guy, and also changed how his powers presented, they lost the character who could fill the role of dark mirror to Ben (as in the alien shapeshifting/ powers aspect). Albedo, while I wasn't a fan initially, became a great way to fill that in. And I personally like what OV did in that it's only his thing to become Ultimate.

[@madladdie7069]

Ya know, I really would've like Ben's disagreement with Azmuth's punishment to come up more. Though, since he only returns in the series finale I can see why you wouldn't want Ben doing that then. Still, it would have been nice if Ben offered to help him when he took the Ultimatrix. Maybe Ben still used the self destruct countdown but it was his offer that got Albedo to give it up. Have Albedo torn because he's going to lose access to the one thing that could possibly turn him back and Ben offers his help because he picks up on that. We could even have a story arc with him becoming more of a supporting character in UA. Occasion appearances with him in like a tech support and general advisor role and showing him slowly working his way to having like... a Unitrix of sorts using what limited tech the gang has access to. And hey, if you really wanted it, you could bring him back for like serious threats if he manages to gain access to like 5 or so transformations and give him the 10 minute timer since that was a fun little thing back in Classic.

It's interesting to me that Albedo somehow got Ben's clothes when he transformed. Like, I get why the ultimatrix does it, but why does Albedo's omnitrix give him the 10 jacket? I think it'd be cool if he was wearing like, Galvan-based clothing or something.

I think it just cause how he makes his omnitrix as when Ben detransform with the ultamatrix he always transform into his normal clothes, even when he is wearing space suits

[@C.Quince]

The “only being worthy to wear the Omnitrix” conversation is interesting, because I always thought Azmuth was talking about Grandpa Max (considering that it was originally sent to Earth for him, and Azmuth says as much to Ben in the Alien Force finale). I distinctly remember a line in the Alien Force final episode that Max convinced Azmuth that Ben was a better choice to wield the Omnitrix. However, Max is considered dead right now, so I think Azmuth is being purposely vague in this episode as to not reveal the fact that he knows Max is still alive. That’s just my interpretation, but it makes sense when you think about how Azmuth treats Max with a lot of respect. He probably heard about what’s going on in the Null Void or potentially tried to contact Max at some point after his “death” maybe.

Honestly, I feel like it would’ve been more interesting if Albedo stayed a villain, but kind of wavered on either side of the moral spectrum; like he starts off entirely self-motivated, he comes around, but then he gets pushed to villainy. I feel like that could’ve led to some interesting discussion on redeeming villains and whether its a good idea to let them atone by doing hero stuff or not. As for who the surprise person was, my first thought was Max, but that makes it sound like Azmuth is hiding Max’s status from the trio which is kind of messed up.

[@petelee2477]

Maybe azimuth was specifically instructed by max not to tell them. Max wanted the team on earth fighting off the alien invasion not aimlessly wondering the null void. I personally don't think it's messed up. I'd personally make the same decision.

Actually technically the statement "I should not have erased Kevins mark" is a true statement since Albedo would be stating it as a fact that Ben is a fool for doing so as apposed to referring to himself directly likely mitigating the eye twitch now that he has been called out for and is now made aware of it rather clever but he is still a Galvin afterall

[@triforceofcourage100]

Albedo’s actions in his first episode do seem counterintuitive. However, I think it’s because of a combination of a few things: one he’s a raging narcissist on par with cell saga Vegeta, two he’s stuck in a form that he absolutely despises making him perpetually angry, and three he’s trying his best to use his galvan intelligence but he’s limited to the brain chemistry of a fifteen year old human boy and all raging hormones that come with it also humans are inherently less intelligent than galvan so that’s also probably limiting him too. All that cooks up to a guy whose control over himself is probably extremely limited at the best of times.

If you've only watched the series or played the games, there's acutally a Scholactic Books Ben 10: Alien Force novella that Albedo appears in called "Double Negative" which was written by Charlotte Fullerton. It takes place in between this episode and the Alien Force finalle. It's actually a really amazing addition to the franchise with an actual math fact and the scientific definition of Albedo's name (delivered by Gwen, of course). Though there is some annoying lore dumps for new comers. But it makes up for the lore dumps by including Julie heavily in the main plot. This might not be very evident to most people, but there is a lot of parallels between Azmuth and Albedo & Mary Shelley's Victor Frankenstien and Victor's creation/son. Azmuth can be compared to Victor, seeing as they both crerate something that's "God"-teir science. Albedo is in a unique position to be comparable to Victor's son and Victor. Albedo is treated like crap by his mentor (possible dad figure?) just like Victor's son. At the same time he makes the same exact or closely paralleling mistakes as Azmuth, but doesn't go down the path Azmuth does. Edit: I could see this animatic for the song "Birth to My Creation" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH-moY2slNd6m7c) from Frankenstein: A New Musical randomly popping up in Albedo's KZbin feed, him listening to it, and liking it enough to learn and privately sing it in his down time. And if Ben found out about Albedo liking the song, he'd totally be a little stinker and lightheartedly mess with the lyrics at a certain point in the song to make Albedo trip up later on.
