[@GoldLight73]

To me, THE defining Vilgax moment will always be that scene between him and Six-Six in Secret of the Omnitrix. Six-Six has like a dozen guns pointed at Vil’s back, and it just takes one sentence to make the bounty hunter back down: “You had best be VERY sure.” Shit gave me chills as a kid.

Mine was his first encounter with Ben. He shows up, Ben throws several punches on him as Heatblast (you know, the alien *literally* made of magma), and he shrug it off like it was nothing. Then he casually grabs Ben and throws him across *several* buildings, before jumping so high he easily catches up with him. To me that *really* sold him as a unstoppable juggernaut.

[@meurumtrain4747]

They could’ve done a better job in alien /ultimate. He should be stronger than ever especially since he absorbed 10 of the strongest aliens.

[@GokenSayajin]

I think it gave so much unknown into his character, the introduction and constant stages of change he was in in the first few seasons of classic gave the cliche "villain always watching" trope that you see in shows like Power Rangers. HOWEVER the build-up of meeting vilgax as well as his POV shows the world as INCREDIBLY IMMERSIVE and constantly moving with pieces behind the scene not privy to the viewer. It allowed alot of children to be given questions and depictions of something we know happened but not the how, when, or why (until later episodes and series gave context) It was incredibly ambitious of a show with a concept as saturday morning as a watch with several heroes you can turn into to go for a continous and serialized storyline in the early 2000's its definitely one of the script writing ancestors of things like adult/large storytelling in childrens mediums in the first 2 series, while im sure theres an arguement that the final 2 series were ancestors to the multiverse concept in media.

[@Jjop017]

Classic Vilgax is still my favorite Ben 10 villain. Personally I don’t think later writers really understood what made him work and just saw a generic evil overlord (which in fairness he is) and tried to do more with him in an attempt to make him a layered character that had mixed results. AF tried to make Vilgax more complex and more interesting by having him exploit conquering planets legally by challenging their greatest heroes then stealing their powers. I can see what they were trying to do, but I think they undercut Vilgax’s competence unintentionally. Ben beating Vilgax with Diamond Head was clearly meant to show how much Ben improved by defeating Vilgax with one of his original aliens, but it had the opposite effect for a lot of fans. They saw Vilgax easily counter the original aliens abilities with his basic cybernetic enhancements. Showing him lose when he stolen the powers of alien heroes just made him look weaker. As much as I like AF/UA series I do think a consistent problem it had was how it overhaul classic elements from the original series without much explanation. It reminds me how they completely changed Doctor Animo to DeVoid with no real explanation. Sure they made him more threatening, but they lost what made the character so popular. I really do believe Vilgax could have worked well in later series if the later writers tapped into what made him such a beloved villain in classic series and added newer elements they wanted to add. Vilgax abusing galactic law to conquer planets legally, is smart. If they just gave Vilgax the same nonsense and determined personality he had in the classics it probably would have went over well with fans. Combine the cyborg elements with stolen super powers elements. Keep the hulking cyborg Vilgax, but have the stolen powers from the champions of the planets he conquered be to specifically deal with newer aliens Ben unlocked. Don’t have Ben win by using Diamond Head. Make it so Vilgax has to leave the challenge, because his home planet was under attack by the real Ghostfreak. That way it introduces the Vilgax is a hero on his home planet that AF writers wanted, has him leave to save his home after he proved he could beat Ben and his current aliens, and makes Vilgax still have the same presence he had in the classic series, while allowing the later writers to add elements they wanted to add to him. Keep Vilgax a master of the Omnitrix who can still use it. Lose the Primus plot where Vilgax cannot figure out how to work the watch and needs Ben to do it. That was a low point for the character and IMO showed the new writers didn’t take into consideration for how the character was written in the original series.

[@RockyTheThird]

You're going to have to talk about Vilgax's worst aura moment to exist. He legit had the watch and was wearing it. Ben, gwen, and kevin were captured. He didn't know how to use it. Ben tells him Azmuth doesn't know how to work the watch and how only he does? Vilgax gets fully gaslit, so vilgax offers to free kevin and gwen if ben shows him. Ben then transforms him into goop, vilgax then flies around in the air and tests out acid powers on just rocks. Then proceeded to stand in place while ben does a front flip over him and turn off goop's gravity. Ben just picks up the watch, vilgax transforms back to normal, then just passes out.

I think what makes classic vilgax works is he stand out is despite his whole design is a big muscle brute(well after he was recovered atleast) , his approach are more tactical base but is still more then willing to handle things himself despite being well resourced with an army, kinda like comic accurate Bane from batman

[@freezasama5802]

Vilgax is a war general who conquered various alien planets through sheer power and strategy the fact he has such an overwhelming army which gives him experience to deal with Ben's aliens easily the fact he desires the Omnitrix to make him invincible perfects his goal and aim and even without the Omnitrix he's near unstoppable it's a shame how he was made a joke and his status became "a villain of the day" rather than the final boss he truly was the best in classic and it's not even close

He worked in the classic series because he's the typical looming villain that remains threatening until the very end of the story. Like how the Firelord also had so much build up in the avatar (he didn't even make a full appearance until the last season). Or even Voldemort in the Harry Potter series. You get my point. That's what I noticed in most shows and movies nowadays. Especially for ones that are designed to run for a long time. Their villains are mostly one shot and get beaten in an episode or the end of one season.

I was sheeting my pants from classic Vilgax. I was 6 when classic came out. Been immediately hooked.

What I think makes Vilgax so cool is the intro. The whole reason Vilgax doesn’t show up himself to get the Omnitrix is because he literally can’t due to his ship exploding in the first episode.

While I think the UAF era is the best era for Ben 10, I do believe that Vilgax was definitely at his peak in the classic series.

Great video man, one thing I’d say for some constructive criticism is to implement more synonyms. For example between 1:26-1:41 (15 seconds) you said omnitrix 6 times. Half of these easily could’ve been replaced by words such as device, watch, or even just “it”. This is repeated a couple times throughout the rest of the video too with other words. Such as the aura part of the video. Between 2:50 and 2:58 (8 seconds) you said aura 4 times. Most of these could be replaced or rephrased to sound less clunky. Still a great video man, just trying to point out areas that could be improved really easily for the future video to be even better 😁

Classic vilgax will always be my favourite

[@HonestBear8009]

THE MASK…give him his scuba mask back. It’s half the reason why he’s cool

[@GulYasar-jo4mz]

Vilgax was ❤classic❤

[@lucaticoclipes4503]

The only version of Vilgax i don't like is the UAF one, i think his Omniverse episode with alternative versions of Ben is really dope

[@kon-ichiwa6987]

Take a shot everytime he says "Aura"

[@LostStudios73]

Good idea

[@RashadAgayev-dm4dj]

I wish Vilgax with respirator fought adult Ben's team

[@syedzaheerhussainshahkazmi1241]

His design should had never changed

[@tron-a-con3700]

I made my own interpritation of vilgax being a combo of the classic and reboot, as well as traits from the other iterations

[@BitlinMC]

Plain and simple, this guy was an absolute terror whenever he showed up. Maybe they lightened up on his "aura" because of how scared kids were of him?

[@adamxsbalo4508]

Classic Vilgax was perfect, in UAF he was alright, Omniverse i don’t want to talk about it and the reboot was a different take but still bad i just liked the fact Ben actually could turn into his species for a bit but the best version and more intimidating was the Original series and kind of UAF the rest don’t count at all.

[@filmlegend3831]

I personally have more nostalgia for AF Vilgax

[@TheNightTyrant]

He lacks a backstory and what motivated him into being what he is today. I'm not gonna compare him to Thanos who had a family, backstory and entire lore explained in comics for decades.

[@laquedibuja2003]

based cosmic destruction ost in the background

[@User4567u8]

Vilgax from the classic was actually scary

[@Priception]

Steve Blum. Who voices Vilgax in OS and OV. Was meant to voice Vilgax in AF. But, due to scheduling conflicts he couldn’t return.

[@LostStudios73]

Wish he was able too

[@EeveeOnAHowitzer]

Ben 10k Vilgax is a whole ass nightmare. You tell me that this man that bodied 6 of my 10 aliens is back, and he has counters to each one?? He even has counters to the ones I didn't use yet?! AND HE STILL WANTS THE WATCH?!

[@Victorystoneworthy]

You stabbed me, what the hell!

[@zeokingsilver]

that sword a powerful weapon able to do things like blow up planets

[@_V.Va_]

He worked because everyone took him seriously, so that meant that we, the audience, should. As Ben got more confident fighting him, he seemed less threatening. If this kid isn't scared, why should we be?

[@LostStudios73]

That’s the point, if they just wrote him to constantly be a threatening figure to Ben then he would be a threatening figure to us the viewer too

[@_V.Va_]

@@LostStudios73 Yep, they should have had Ben some what affected mentally by Vilgax. Even if not afraid, he should be serious mode at all times when Vil is involved, due to the traumatic events of their first encounters. Ben getting Vilgax a Happy Meal was when they had given up on anyone taking him seriously. They treated that Space Aussie as more of a threat than Vilgax in OV.

[@yashJoshi-hn6bf]

@@_V.Va_ Vilgax was a threat in ov too

[@theenderdestruction2362]

​@_V.Va_ they should have made even mentioning vilgax . The entire crew stopped joking around and become serious, making it seem like vilgax was not some villian of the week he's a monster to the point where even so much mentioning his name causes even the greatest hero to freeze hell have proffesor paradox freeze if someone mentions vilgax like thats how big of a threat he is

[@Xtwthjk]

I was legit so scared for ben In classic due to vilgax

[@zeokingsilver]

the classic version rocked with the reboot one being a close 2nd in design.

[@pt5728]

Classic Vilgax has the most aura in all of Ben 10. Even in classic Ben’s future, Animo who is one of bens biggest villains, aimed to bring back Vilgax😂
