Donald Glover making a Deadpool show reads like some sort of fever dream. xD

Centurion literally blew everyone out. Maybe it's because the game is just too damn fun or his beast transformations would be unique in the realm of Smash. Or we need more werewolves in general.

This one will be series exclusive, starting with the Phantasy Star franchise that used to be Sega's flagship RPG. Your choices are Alis Landale from Phantasy Star, Nei from Phantasy Star II, Zio from Phantasy Star IV, and Ethan Weber from Phantasy Star Universe. Here comes the people asking me "What the **** is a Phantasy Star Universe?".

So I caught a brief glimpse of the Ben 10 reboot while I was watching a recorded episode of the new Steven Bomb.

The style compared to the original is definitely off-putting for me, but I guess that could be a lot worse. With that aside, is it any good? I haven't watched CN for anything that isn't called "Adventure Time" "Regular Show" or "Steven Universe" for a very very long time (not counting Samurai Jack.).

I think its pretty enjoyable imo

Brainiac's cool **** (Laser strike, harpoon and Blanka Ball) is all locked behind gear. Blegh.

lol you still can't say "Joker" in NRS' chat.

 

[Mythra]

While the artstyle hurts to see, new Ben 10 is actually pretty fine, it is clearly aimed for young kids as the episodes are smaller and less plot loaded but it is something yo can tune in and get a couple of laughs without a problem.

It's okay when you consider it a little kids show, my little brother watches it and that's the only reason why I'm even aware of its existence.

With that being said though the best cartoons are always the ones that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Plus the franchise still had a new installment a few years ago which could have had a sequel as it's ending pretty much opened the idea of a sequel. Said last installment also focused on the 10 year old, so a reboot just doesn't make sense. It's still popular with kids, it's recent enough for kids to start asking questions about why he doesn't seem to obsess over the alien they pushed for the last installment. PPG and Teen Titans were at least things which kids wouldn't be able to recognize. "It's for kids" is also a weak excuse when there's shows for kids with much better animation and overall more well-written. Star VS, Star Wars Rebels, My Little Pony, Steven Universe, Kamen Rider. All of these are shows that were meant for kids yet have a cult following from adults. "Star Wars sells on brand recognition" But if it's just that, why is it so beloved by fans?

At least it's decent if not quite like the original. Which is fine by me. I don't mind it being targeted at a different demographic as long as the quality is still fine in some regard. It already sounds a lot better than TTG, at least.

All Ben 10 except the original series are **** and Ben 10.000 is canon fite me

 

[Cutie Gwen]

10,000 is the ****ing worst and the original show had some really ****ing dumb moments (2 parter in which they keep pushing "Work together and you'll win" with everyone scolding Ben for not being a team player but having Ben do almost everything in said 2 parter is something I didn't like as a kid either)

 

[Aurane]

No arguments here. The new Ben 10 is kinda cute but that's about it.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

It's so odd to me that Ben 10 has a reboot.

I remember when it first aired, it didn't feel that long ago.

 

[Deleted member]

I would discuss that, but the thing is I just realized that the huge majority of people agree with me on the JackxAshi thing.

"Father and Daughter relationship my ass" is what I said, and now it's funny to read through comments saying the exact same thing.

I AM THE CHAMPION, I should make a scoreboard between you and me when it comes to wins.

Also, Blitzwolfer is best alien

I mean, yeah, inside this thread because outside of it there are many more that hate it
So you're the equivalent to that school bully who thinks he's the king of the world aka Bakugo

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Remember when Gwen was retconned from a magician to an alien?

And that's when the writing took a big nosedive despite the edgier direction of Alien Force and Ultimate Alien.

No, I was saying that looking outside of here. Looking at forums, on youtube, on facebook. etc. The only place where I see SOME people mad is Tumblr.

It's been over a decade as I've been in the Netherlands for nearly a decade and I watched the whole original show before moving there. **** I feel old. Omniverse, the newest season stopped making new episodes in November 2014

That wasn't a retcon, but more of an explanation why she was able to use it in the first place iirc

Alternative universes exist in the show apparently so you and I are both right
The **** is Blitzwolfer? *looks up* Holy **** they gave that guy an actual name. **** yeah!

well the cartoon started in 2005 so if Im counting right, its been 13 years.

For a moment I thought you meant that Cutie Gwen was actually an alien.

I don't remember anything Ben 10 past the first series and the live action movies.

Oh yeah, I remember one, it's probably part of my repressed memories.

Something like Powerpuff Girls or Ducktales? It makes sense to reboot them after awhile of being off the air.

Ben 10 continued to live on for quite a while, and just a few years after the latest series, we get a reboot.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I actually liked Alien Force. Ultimate Alien was more or less just more seasons of it taken in a different direction from what I recall (the artstyle and character designs were pretty much the same, right?) but I'm aware it gets plenty of hate. I don't remember enough about to to say that I liked it or hated it.

On the other hand, I immediately took a disliking to Omniverse, both because of the change in style and because I didn't care for Ben's portrayal in it.

Okay, yeah, now that's a problem. A lot of modern shows do have animation errors, it's common and forgivable, but I will admit that along with the artstyle, the animation looked pretty poor and lazy by today's standards, too. It's kind of hard for me to enjoy something that's hard to even look at. Lazy animation aside though, is it really that bad with animation errors consistently? Like as bad as the PPG reboot had it to the point where there were painfully obvious errors almost once every episode?

I would argue that some of Steven Universe's content makes it less of a kids show entirely and one is more or less made for all ages. It's currently rated TV-PG after all. I definitely agree with the other shows you mentioned though.

I don't remember anything Ben 10 past the first series and the live action movies.

There were live action movies of Ben 10?

.....I really haven't paid much attention to Cartoon Network for so long now. I completely forgot those even existed.

It's even worse because it also makes her powers go from "varied, all-use sorcery" to "pink energy ****" AND takes away her merit of learning it by herself to "she could always do it" and it's bull****

You lurk Facebook trap groups, you're gonna end up finding neckbeards who disagree with Tumbr just because

Him and the Mummy alien were literally the best two things out of the show.
Also, the Phantom alien arc, whatever was his name

the live action movies.

WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THOSE

I knew that the flying shadow error will be posted, guess that Twitter guy hasn't seen Sailor Moon Crystal S1 :v

They pulled a reboot as the previous Ben 10 was already pretty advanced with many stuff like aliens, storylines and characters; CN could have aired the previous shows along with Omniverse to allow new viewers to catch up, but they wanna market new stuff to stay "fresh" and put toys with new designs and a younger demo. The "aimed for kids" is not an excuse, is just a way to put a simpler, lighter product, while other kids shows can get loaded with interesting stuff, they just decided to not do that. The product is not as engaging as Original Ben 10 and of course is not as good but it fulfills its purpose of have simple and entretaining stuff without the need to add too much continuity, you can say is "Casual Ben 10".

Now this is something I definitely agree with.

Ben 10 came a lot later than the PPG which was also rebooted. It also remained popular with several more shows and seasons worth of it being spawned after the first series finished, even if the quality of the later series remains debatable.

I know the target demographic is kind of different and all, but it's still considered a reboot of the original as far as I know. Why completely reboot something that isn't that old to begin with and was still going?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

shhhhhhhhhh

****, they made those canon with Eon and whatever the **** those swarm things were canon. Though I don't remember NEARLY enough of those

Oh ****.

DO NOT MAKE NEGATIVE IMPLICATIONS OF THE GWEN MASTER
IN TO THE GBA YOU GOOOO

Ok I'll bite, what the hell is this?

EXCITE~ EXCITE~

It's even worse because it also makes her powers go from "varied, all-use sorcery" to "pink energy ****" AND takes away her merit of learning it by herself to "she could always do it" and it's bull****

They didn't use that ****ing Mummy enough. A single episode. **** that.

Ghostfreak?


Oh, and even though I brought the animation up, bad animation doesn'tmake or break it, Steven Universe is ****ing AWFUL in animation as the characters change sizes constantly

Doesn't change the fact that the people that were agreeing with me weren't neckbeards. It's not like there was a specific pattern with people who shared my opinion and those who didn't, asides from those being against the ship being pretty salty.

I don't have a Dutch ID so if it wasn't for the EU I would indeed count
They had her be half human or something because the grandmother was an alien who used magic ****

I think she was "adopted", I don't remember correctly, but she has a transformation in Omniverse an looks bad af.

The badass skilled magician version of her that appears in Ben 10,000 was way better.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Oh wow. There's a Kickstarter for a NES game based off a 2,000's flash series called "****** Bob". That series was part and my, my bro's, and my friend's childhood. Sure, it was cheesy and kinda dumb, but it kept us entertained.

Not going to back the Kickstarter though (I'm kinda done with Kickstarter and I don't have an NES).
