Ben 10

THIS SHOW IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BORING ALSO MEH ANIMATION

What do you say to series who's feature images contain a pile of Dino crap from Jurassic Park? Has there ever been a bigger middle finger than this? OK yeah there was Teen Titans Go and Powerpuff Girls 2016 I guess.

But here's the biggest issue I have with this show. It's a reboot. And I understand that Ben 10 has had a few reboots before (see my review on Omniverse) but this is an insult. Possibly worse than Omniverse.

Actually I can't compare it to Omniverse, because that at least has an original story-line, new likable characters and in some cases, acceptable animation. This is no excuse. Not only is this another reboot, but it's just a complete rehash of the original plot with maybe one or two new aliens thrown in. As if that's a good distraction...

This is just another bad reboot by Cartoon Network, which is not that surprising, that some how got lower scores than the two reboot shows before it. At this point, it may just be better off to not watch this show, so that way maybe CN will figure out we're done with these revamped shows.

Oh boy, where to start? First off, I don't mind comedy, but when a show that 's about a boy fighting villains/aliens there should be more action like in the original or squeals, not just meme faces or trying to hip constantly.

Okay on to my next thing, when you hear the word reboot you expect a show to be new but still kind of sticking to the original story and characters right (like Thunder Cats and Looney Tune show)? Like take for example, Gwen. You know in the original Gwen and Ben's relationship didn't start off sunshine and flowers; but for some odd reason they made Gwen in the reboot seem too much of a doormat towards Ben? It's boring to see them just agreeing with each other without really seeing how their relationship mend from being two bickering cousins to good friends.

Then finally... the lazy design. I get it, they probably want to save money, but it's just so ugly looking. Even made me think it was that Scooby Doo reboot show.

Listen, I grew up with Ben 10. It may even be my favorite cartoon series of all time. I've seen all of it of every series. So, when I saw this reboot, I was excited to see more Ben 10. But, one has to ask, when making a reboot, why? There has to be a reason for a reboot. A reboot should improve upon its source material in a unique way, setting it apart from the source while staying true enough to it to even be called a reboot. Now, I have to say, this show is funny. Not all the times and sometimes the joke isn't well placed or there's too much at one time but, most of the time, it's pretty comical. Alright, I like to give credit where credit is due. Ben 10 (2017) is bad. The characters are shells of what they used to be, they are all really dumb and all the episodes and characters are just flat and uninteresting. This show is another Teen Titans GO! It is funny because everything goes by fast. But that only amounts in quick laughs and a sense of unfulfillment.

I feel sorry for kids growing up watching this Ben 10. Now when I first watched this I didn't mind it but it always felt off. Until I watched it again and felt the pain. What's wrong with this is the lack of action, really cringey comedy, the worst character designs, and making the scary villains like in the original like something out of a Disney movie.
