The new reboot is nothing but a kiddie show cash grab

[@luphuong5239]

@@jcj268 I couldn't agree more. Original Series , Alien Force and Ultimate were the best 🤗☺, whilst Omniverse and Reboot were shitty and trash , only 3 years old kids would wanna watch that . 😑🙄😒. I mean the way they design characters in omniverse is so sick and disturbing. Kevin looked like a thug or drug dealer. Gwen looked like a nerd. Why the heck was Alien X look quite similar to crimson chin. Who even would put the omnitrix symbol on Up Grade and Nanomech's eyes. How can they able to see or shoot laser beam from their eyes. Big Chill looked jacked, did he just come out of the gym ? I have a feeling that OS and Omniverse share the same storyline and universe while AF and UF are a different storyline and universe. Because ben never mentioned anything about Feedback none of his aliens wore clothes in AF and UA, even Vilgax in this version didn't have anything similar to Vilgax in Omniverse and OS. He had a sword and a gaunlet, can shoot laser from his eyes and can fly in space.

My favorite episode.

[@AbRas644]

Pretty sure it was part of his plan to save him. Like he said to Gwen, "You care about not hurting me. And that's why, you don't have what it takes to deal with Kevin". He's faced Kevin before, and understood clearly why he is who he is, and therefore, decided to be serious to stop him well and proper. He knew that, right now, he's running on rage and power like when he was younger. If defeated as normal, he'd flee to some corner of the universe and start life again until someone like Quarrel taught him to cool down and become normal. He didn't want to lose Kevin again, as Ben's code is to trust, give them a second chance and let them redeem themselves.

You know what’s the scariest thing about Ghostfreak? His true name is not revealed or spoken outside of references. The name Zs’Skayr definitely sounds sinister, but neither he nor the characters mention it, even WatchMojo here doesn’t make note of it.

[@SacredSpirit1337]

Actually Watchmojo *does* mention it at 9:40 “Ghostfreak’s personality is so creepy and serious, that it’s almost as if Zs'Skayr, Ghostfreak’s real identity, is the one in control.” As the Wiki puts it: “Zs'Skayr's real name was first conceived during the original series but was never used on-screen until Rad Monster Party (an episode of Omniverse). Before then, people only called him Ghostfreak. However, in From Hedorium to Eternity, he is referred to as Zs'Skayr by Ben and his team. This is an error, along with other errors in the episode like Zs'Skayr having his hood and his head in an upright orientation, both of which should be seen only after Rad Monster Party chronologically.”

Unfortunately cartoons post 2013/14 (same year Omniverse ended) are for kids. Only exception i can think is Invincible. RIP action cartoons

[@christopherbennett5858]

I've always had issues with that statement. One being that children can handle darker themes. Just look at Revenge of the Sith which was PG despite having Anakin burn alive, strangle his pregnant wife and the results of when he killed many child soldiers. Not to mention a lot of shows in the 2010's tried to court an older audience but either mishandled more mature topics that the writers could not handle or tried to apply playground logic to them even when the stories shifted to things that were less personal and on the grand scale the vocal adult fans claimed to want (RWBY, Steven Universe and Legend of Korra are all big examples) Didn't help that, as new blood came into the industry, for some reason, people just saw children's media as 0-5 year olds rather than also including 6-9 and 10-12 year olds. What made the episodes stick out more was the levity and characters developed between these moments, giving more tension..

I mean, in the episode where we first learn Ghostfreak has his own consciousness, I actually felt bad for Zy'Skayr. Imagine his point of view. He's a sentient being forced to live inside the Omnitrix, and the only time he gets a taste of freedom is when Ben used his DNA, and even then it's not true freedom because until that episode, Ben was the one in control. Eventually all sympathy went out the window. Part of me wishes they went another way with his character, and had him be a little mentally unbalanced, sort of like his time in the Omnitrix traumatized him, and have Ben help him, maybe even becoming one of Ben's allies. Just a little what if on the character.

[@gemrock]

Looking at from point of view ghostfreak before knowing it was evil. You can kinda understand why he did it think about it being stuck stuck in a watch for God knows how long. Being use as toy for a child and being forced to be used. I think anyone in the situation would go crazy.

[@josephbiddle1637]

That would be an awesome alternate timeline opportunity. Though, along a similar thread, imagine if one of the alternate evil Bens that Vilgax got into his army in Omniverse was a Ben who was successfully taken over by Za’Skayer (hope I spelled that right). That would’ve been epic!

[@medafan53]

I believe the popup fact files suggest that Zy'Skar deliberately put himself in the Omnitrix, hoping to claim it's power for himself, I believe he was possessing the alien whose DNA was sampled for Wildvine, so don't feel TOO sorry for him.

[@LeonardoKlotz]

When I decided to watch Ben 10, I turned on my TV to watch an episode randomly And the first episode that I saw was the very first episode ("And Then There Was 10")

[@christopherbennett5858]

Honestly, I would also like to say one of the reasons Catch a Falling Star is the darkest episode is that, outside of Ben's transformations and the weapons, everyone in this is human. What I mean is that aliens are not a stand-in for anything in the episode like the chameleon alien being held in Guantanamo Bay style captivity in place of a human experiencing the same thing. Nor is it the Forever knights killing an adolescent on a date because he's part alien rather than a more direct lynch mob. This showed a big level of depravity and that it was all human.

[@chamathnadeeshan4008]

one big dark Easter egg many guys miss. In Omniverse, kyber's Ship he have a ultimate Humongousour Skull. Ultimate Aliens does not exist in outside of Omnitrix, Except for one Ultimate Humongousour. That Humongousour who Escaped Omnitrix in UA, kyber must have hunted him before he came after ben.

Ben ultimately ends up sacrificing himself to free them, though he lives, the Ultimate Aliens get their freedom. Azmuth then takes them away from Earth to a new home for them.

Same here. Growing up in the 2000s since the original series. He was more than just a grandfather to Ben & Gwen. He was like a father who taught them how to be brave & strong. TBH, he was a better parent to Ben, than Ben’s actual parents. Since they never got along with Max, years before Ben had the Omnitrix. Corse after seeing all the trouble Ben went through to save Kevin, from the DNA Aliens. His parents apologized for ever doubting him like they did with Grandpa Max. Even as of today. I still consider Grandpa Max as a better father to Ben.
