Zak Needing Therapy For 10 Minutes

Crazy part is the writers outright said if Zak didn't lose his powers to Argost he would have turned evil. No matter what.

So kur is evil. Good to know

Guess it's good Doc didn't pancake Argost. Turned out we needed a disposal vessel.

[@donatellohamato748]

If i remember correctly, this happened during the time period that Ben took off the Omnitrix. So, if Zak or argost got out of control then that means Ben would have to put the Omnitrix back on? Would he able to do something against Kur? At that point he was at his weakest

[@MrBassem95]

I’m not gonna lie Ben is on a whole different level than the Saturdays

[@donatellohamato748]

@@MrBassem95 yeah, Ben is a whole different level, but at 10/11 he was at his weakest. That's why I ask, but teen Ben could absolutely do something. Never mind adult Ben. But even so, I still think that Ben could dropkick Zak at any age, my poor boi is too easily distracted.

[@Chriskentfan94]

​@@donatellohamato748 maybe, maybe not, if Ben can literally turn into the Kryptonian he's voiced by, wouldn't it also logically be true that Zak can use the early legends of that bat in Gotham as a counter via the old "Gothamites used to think Batman was a Vampire" logic before it was proved he was just a high-tech detective who liked playing "spooky dress-up"?

[@ravenouself4181]

Chromastone is the perfect counter to Kur. Alien X would be plain cheating.

[@driddick7361]

Okay I recall the creators stated if Zak kept his powers he would've turned evil. But I can't be the only one who thinks that's nonsense. He showed no signs of harboring such malice. No matter what he went through, he still fought for what he perceived to be good. Also can we please take note that his powers literally require CONSENT from the cryptid he uses them on? He straight up BS his way out of conflicts! It's reverse Zack who's powers cause extreme frenzy!

[@carlosmedina1281]

He said that only for Zak to have his power back in Ben 10 Omniverse and isn’t evil

[@zerotohero884]

Thank you, had forgotten how dark this show was

[@matthewboyd68]

It really was the Jonny Quest of the Late 2000s

[@grimm_satisfaction1292]

Why didn't they just swap Zak Saturday's powers with Zak Monday? See, if the morality in the MondayVerse is reversed, then wouldn't it stand to reason that Anti-Kur would be good? So if they swapped Saturday's and Monday's powers, then Zak would no longer be doomed to become evil. He'd instead be destined to remain good. And you know what? Let's swap the Nagas, too, while we're at it. Since the Saturday Nagas were evil and all about conquest, then by this logic, the Monday Nagas would be the opposite.

[@lochness5524]

i’m surprised no one’s ever thought about this until now

[@13KuriMaster]

The problem... they didn't even know if that is possible. And Argost was the one that figured out the transfering deal.... and he wasn't aiming to swap the powers, but take them for himself.

[@grimm_satisfaction1292]

@@13KuriMaster What I mean is that the writers could have done something with it, but instead, we got Zak losing his powers but not really, and also, he's doomed to turn evil and conquer the world...

[@JabamiLain]

A crossover between this show and "Infamous" would be sick. I'm actually considering doing one, once I get enough experience and knowledge. Set in a timeline in which Simon, from S.O.M.A, kills WAU, taking too long to become the A.I. Or rather, long enough for the satelite to be taken by the aliens from "Ecco the Dolphin" and infiltrate among surviving humans and WAU's remaining creations to create Conduits.

[@TheBitingBat]

So going off sumerian myth, Kur is an underworld god (Kur being under Ereshkigal and Nergal and also the name of the Sumerian underworld/hell realm) so Zak being an avatar of Kur means that he could cause the end of mortal life. But the thing is, Kur isn't supposed to be a pure evil force. The realm is for the dishonored or damned, and the Sumerians had a very particular set of beliefs around why the Underworld was a bad place. Namely as a necessary duality to counterbalance the life and prosperity brought forth by the gods. So zak could definitely be a good guy, considering that he cares about justice and fights evil which lines up with the mythological representation of Kur

[@JabamiLain]

So why is depicted as evil ? Or is this a "Story written by the victors" scenario ?

[@JabamiLain]

I wished Zach would stop blaming himself so hard.

[@Emily-the-faerie]

Imagine spending a whole season trying to find this evil king that wants to kill all Humans just because their humans zak and his family being humans themselves only to find out this evil that they've been after was zak all along yes zak should know it wasn't his fault but him feeling like a monster is realistic

[@swaginton1180]

Honestly I feel it’s dumb to suppress this power and it’s something the parents really fuck up with. You teach him to embrace it and make it his own, that he can use it and not have to be confined to what he may have been in the past but is now. Use it for good not evil
