Alrighty! Hot takes! Ben 10 edition! Part 2! Let’s jump right into this!
Hot take- the Omniverse art style is the best and designs for many aliens are an improvement,
exceptions ofc, rip thin big chill I agree! As an example, Juryrigg is a lot better,
same with most of the rigid designs of Ultimate Alien aliens, and tons of other characters. But
some things like most of the Alien Force aliens were just a massive downgrade.
Catch A Falling Star is one of the best of the whole show
Oh, the episode about Stockholm Syndrome? Yeah,
not the biggest fan, but it has some funny moments throughout.
Feedback is the greatest alien of all shows!
Yeah sorry but no. Feedback was so overhyped and overplayed in Omniverse
that it really made me dislike him. It’s not like he’s Alien X or anything either,
he’s basically a charismatic Chromastone, so I never saw the appeal. Not saying he’s bad,
but far from the best. This is why I love an alien like Ultimate Echo Echo, despite not being forced
down our throats, a few cool scenes and his awesome look and voice just makes him awesome!
Hot take: Azmuth's voice is the best in AF YESSSSSSSS!
Don't think it's a hot take but Ultimate Echo Echo is the best Ben 10 alien ever
Where have I heard this before?
Toepick and Gutrot are possibly one of the most powerful aliens ben has
For Toepick its pretty obvious
As for Gutrot he has the ability to create and kind of gas from his
stomach and spray it I mean he made Waybad pheromones so im pretty sure he could make
anything (I think) also I really like Gutrot Yeah, both Toepick and Gutrot are
powerful as hell, but in my opinion aliens need to also have a bit of charm and charisma,
like imagine how much worse Four Arms would have been without the cool voice and hype and red
body, and all that. I don’t know, I guess those two aliens just don’t have that wow factor for me,
but honestly that goes for most Omniverse aliens. But honestly, the only Omniverse alien that I
truly love is Gravvattack, and that’s because he has that wow factor miles ahead of Lodestar.
Hot take: ultimate alien is better than alien force and it's a peak of the ben 10 franchise.
I actually used to reflect these opinions, but I still think Alien Force’s best beat out UA’s
by a long shot. Not to mention Ultimate Alien was riddled with filler episodes and overall
gunk that brought the quality down. Only reason it was higher
on my Shows ranked video is because Alien Force season 3 was...no bueno.
The episode "Merry christmas" is overhated,
but i can agree with the criticisms! We’re on the same wavelength on this one.
Hot take: Zombozo is a ripoff of Joker I see where you’re coming from on this one,
but they aren’t really that similar aside from both being clowns.
Alien force at it’s best had the best episodes. I also happen to share this opinion. Seasons
1 and 2 of Alien Force were the peak of the franchise in my opinion. From the DNAlien arc,
the relationship with Gwen and Kevin, the nuanced tone and more realistic themes, the better aliens,
and the impeccable writing, Alien Force’s best was the best of the entire franchise.
making the contimalia smoothies instead of grandpa max is the biggest missed chance ever
Absolutely! Grandpa Max, the most human character in the show,
who’s voice actor Paul Eiding has been voicing since day 1, the father figure to Ben who taught
him responsibility, risk, and who cared for him through some of the best episodes of the show,
got absolutely tanked for a useless joke about Smoothies in the series finale.
Ultimate Cannonbolt is a dumb alien he's just a recolor and grew spikes.
Totally agree. He’s by far the most useless Ultimate alien,
and had some of the worst moments in the show like losing the Map to Aggregor.
Hot Take: The classic series and the reboot are the best shows of the Franchise.
If Alien Force, Ultimate Alien and Omniverse weren’t the most human,
and didn’t have the most well told story arcs, character developments, literary feats, and some
of the greatest writers to ever work on Ben 10, then uhh, yeah I’d agree with you. Oh wait...
Gwen and Kevin desires a spin off series of their own
Considering the track record of other shows and spinoffs based on the side characters,
this would definitely fail. The shows already did a great job establishing their relationship,
and Gwen and Kevin just wouldn’t sell enough toys to make any networks bat an eye.
My hot take. I don't really like the personality shift of Ben 10 in Alien Force seasons 1 and 2.
I found him boring, dull, and just 'generic main character guy'. It made the show kind
of hard to watch since it felt like all the characters lost a lot of their characterization,
except for Kevin. As much as Season 3 Ben was annoying, I do prefer the change since now
he has a personality again. Now I do not like that they made him into a giant jerk in season
3. Thankfully, Omniverse and Ultimate Alien have a better balance of personality in Ben
and being a responsible adult. (Even if Omniverse does tend a little too much on the comedy.)
To an extent, I can see where you’re coming from on this one. Ben in Alien Force seasons 1 and 2
felt a little TOO mature, to the point where he apologizes to Gwen when he makes a small mistake
or when he has the slightest amount of fun. But that did make the show more deep and moralistic,
while also making it seem like it was constantly pushing kids to apologize to everyone all the
time. Whereas in season 3 he was just a full-on jerk, while having some funnier moments like when
he calls himself adorable. Then you have Ultimate Alien Ben, which I agree is just the perfect blend
of both personalities, while Omniverse again goes too far in making Ben like a baby. Good take!
The alien force set of aliens is toooo overpowered. Honestly af and
ua should've been sequenced after Omniverse, that would've reduced the hate on OV as well
Hmmm, I’ll have to think about this one. I don’t think Alien Force’s roster is overpowered
considering even Alien X was downplayed to a large extent, and he faces some pretty tough villains,
and I honestly can’t imagine these shows if Omniverse came first. Honestly,
it would make the most sense considering he loses his Ultimates in the current order of the shows.
Hot Take 1: I think most of Omniverse's recent praises from the fans are a little overblown.
Hot Take 2: The Ben 10 title design with the blob formation in the zero is better
than the ones with the Omnitrix symbol. Hot take 3: After rewatching the OS I
don’t think Yuri Lowenthal’s voice is how a teenage Ben would accurately sound like.
Numero uno: I totally agree that recently fans have been praising Omniverse for absolutely
no reason, just because it goes against the old status quo, and while some of the praise
is justified, a lot of it is grasping at straws when you look at the big picture.
Number 2: I also love the blob animations they used! It looks so unique and fits super well
in this environment. We’ve already seen the Omnitrix symbol on every single toy, Omnitrix,
Plumber’s badge, ship and literally everything in these shows. I don’t know why they made the
logo into an Omnitrix. And Shrek the Third:
I think Yuri’s voice was literally perfection for that role, no one try and tell me otherwise.
Humungousour and Four-arms are annoying and overused
In their respective shows, they were both overused because to be fair they WERE fan-favorites,
but in Omniverse I’d say they got pretty equal screen time with the rest of the roster.
As for annoying, I don’t really see what you mean, neither of them were exactly Mole-Stache level.
Ditto is better than Echo Echo. Yeah, no. Sorry but this is just
factually wrong. Echo Echo’s design is better,
his powers are just like Ditto except he can also scream sonic sound waves,
and his voice is debatably better than Ditto’s. I mean, Rob Paulsen is great in Omniverse,
but the UAF Echo Echo voice is just awesome! Not to mention Ultimate Echo Echo is the GOAT!
(video)
hot take: 'the widening gyre' is the best ben 10 filler episode.
Uhhh, sure I’ll give you this one. I don’t really know how to judge a ‘Ben 10
filler episode’ but this episode was fine I guess. Go Captain Planet references!
There should have been a Ultimate Heatblast. Uhhhh, sure! I mean if they made these
two abominations surely they could’ve finally made Heatblast look cool again,
right? I mean, Heatblast wasn’t even in Ultimate Alien, so that was kind of a shame. DUDE
IMAGINE ULTIMATE DIAMONDHEAD!!!
Eye Guy is extremely boring and has little to no reason to be used over someone else.
Eye quite agree. He’s my least favorite Classic alien aside from Buzzshock.
And that’s Ben 10 hot takes part 2! Do you want a part 3?
You guys seem to really like this series so who knows, I might make a part 3! If you do,
leave some more hot takes in the comments below, and remember, try to make 'em
really unpopular opinions, because I’ve noticed I agree with a majority of these,
and I’d like to see a more diverse set of opinions next time around! With that said,
thank you so much for watching, and I’ll see you beautiful ladies and jellyfish next time! Shalom!
