Ben 10 2005 is one of those cartoons that I always see people talk about fondly. Considering all the love out there for the series, I figured this would be a good show to give the Is It as Great as We Remember? treatment. So let's do it by going through the whole OG Ben 10 series, starting with season 1.

Honestly to me Ben 10 was the best Superhero cartoon that wasn’t related to either marvel or Dc and although the show isn’t perfect, it has a lot heart and great characters. Ben himself may not be perfect but he’s a great Protagonist and when it matters most he knows when it’s hero time. Also my Favorite alien has to be Heatblast.

So just to show even though the guy doesn't have the omnitrix, he could still body many of Ben's transformations to depict on how much of a threat he became through conquests.

People been disrespecting ben 10 lately atleast on twitter when it is one of the great cartoon shows. This show you can literally understand his origin just from the theme song alone so you can jump into any episode with context. It was every child dream to wield an omnitrix and this show had the perfect formula to showcase that. I feel like the classic and AF S1-2 are peak ben 10 in terms of entertainment, plot, and characters.

Alien force season 1 and 2 wasn't really all that entertaining. And the characters were overly boring Gwen was the perfect girl ben was the overly mature hero for no reason and no real character development after 5 years to lead up to him being as mature as he is and Kevin well Kevin is the only entertaining character there. And the plot was just a two season arc about the hybrid the 2 parter season finale of season 2 was underwhelming. That's mainly my thoughts about it.
@Ty-cx5zj 2 жыл бұрын
@@kermitgotthesickkicks4265 Ig we got very different opinions because I found it very entertaining as each episode was contributing to a overall conflict instead of the villain of the week. Gwen was the voice of reason for ben and kevin and kept them together when they were at odds at first. Ben was FINALLY a consistent character who didnt reset every episode to be such a huge douche bag and kevin was the perfect replacement of grandpa max as he can fit both the teaching and learning roles. The plot finale was perfect imo because it showed how instead of being invading to preserve yourself you should be open to seeking others for help.

Just as a general point, I'd like to acknowledge that this show was a monster hit with the network and led to spinoffs for over a decade not necessarily on its own merits, but because the premise lent itself so easily ro becoming a toy-selling juggernaut. Try telling an executive that kids will want the actuon figures of the van, three human characters, ten monster heroes, and at least one big alien villain? And you're planning to keep adding new monster designs the longer the show goes on? That's a jackpot. The show was and is good, but it also is still remembered over other similar shows because it has a lot of time in different seasons and spinoffs to flesh out its lore. And it got that time because the executives continued to see the toys as profitable. It wouldn't even shock me if they tried re-rebooting the show again, given how successful the toys were back then.

I have a really cool idea for what they could've done with episode 4. During the first three episodes, it was always Ben learning a lesson and coming into his own. However, this episode could've flipped the script by having Ben notice that something's off about Aunt Vira, but Max and Gwen don't believe him because they assume that he's just being an immature brat. Then, all of the imposter alien stuff could've played out like normal. It would've been a cool lesson to teach to kids: that they're not always wrong about everything, and people who are seemingly more mature don't always know better.

Also though some episodes suck, at least there are some memorable moments, like ripjaws "Wanna see a real monster? Try me on for size." And Ghostfreak's whole first transformation+"You wanna see something really scary?" *Scares the living daylights out of Zombozo*(in addition to his monologue beforehand)

I think these connections between Ben and the villains were supposed to serve as a warning of sorts to Ben and the audience. As in, if he doesn't slow down and stop his antics he'll end up like them.

Lowart's point is that it makes the moral weak if your antagonist was messed up from the start rather than slowing going down a dark path.

I feel like the only thing I have to comment on is that I strongly disagree on Dr. Animo. While, yes, he isn't the most compelling villain in Ben's rogue's gallery, especially if one factors in sequel series, I think, for me, his overall entertainment value makes up for it. Maybe it's just the fact that I'm a huge animal nerd, or that I'm a fan of Dwight Schultz, but I feel like Animo's the kind of villain you don't need to be super complex as long as I enjoy watching him. He just makes me laugh. To me, he's probably the most consistent of all the major Ben 10 villains. Even in Alien Force, he still had the schtick of being a nutcase who controls animals. And for me, I feel that's all you really need.

Overall, I love Season 1 but Season 2 is definitely better The problem of Ben’s character seemingly resetting is definitely a problem with the Classic series. It doesn’t happen all the time but particular episodes like to reset character arcs because the story calls for it

i think the circus/fear episode is one of the most cooler ones because it introduces ghost face who later wants to get freed from the watch and combines a lot of interesting villains in one big episode and gets a good payoff

Feels like you're really rushing through a lot of very interesting talking points. Especially in episode 5 wirh Tetrax adding to the deepening of the worldbuilding and Ben's understanding of the Omnitrix by being the same species as one of his aliens and the entire conflict between the two culminating in the way Ben proves himself is still a lesson I think on as an adult on occasion. Then also just smaller things that add to the very solid buildup of the season despite its episodic nature. It's honestly a little frustrating

0:07 ay mood right there, didn't get to see all the eps but when ever I catch it, it's always thrilling and quite impressionable for me come to think of it, I never got back to see if I could watch all the eps now(will watch the other season's before coming here then) will you also cover the movie(s or were they OVAs) 2:22 I remember every time I watched, I would think "will the watch work properly this time? how would he use the alien he didn't want to work around the problem?" (it had been one particular ep where he got fish/eel alien and did some cool tricks with it that really got me intrigued into this show, that and the facts with the "10" Ten aliens to work with Ben is Ten years old(admittedly kinda looked up to him since I was younger then him at the time I watched) "Ten" is in his last name

I'm going to cover the Secret of the Omnitrix movie, but covering any other Ben 10-related material will come down to how well these videos on the OG series perform. Gotta be able to feed the cats haha
