Ben 10

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.

THIS SHOW IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BORING ALSO MEH ANIMATION

Take a pot, fill it with water, and drown yourself in it!!!

I grew up with this show!!!! When I was 9, I couldn't wait for Friday to arrive (because that's when it aired where I lived as a kid) and Friday used to be my most favourite day, and the things I did to be able to watch that half hour!! When children grow up with show in this manner, they develop a deep connection. I had made up my mind at the age of 12 that I was bound to find the omnitrix someday!

I watched the complete show during three different age groups in my life over and over again. I played so many of its games, watched its movies, read and wrote fan fiction and researched the past and bio of every single character!!

And now during adulthood, I found out there was a reboot! I was so excited! Even after Omniverse, which took a little getting used to, but I still loved it!! I had such high hopes.

And then I watched it! It is just sad!! I'm sad, sad that it had to end this way. The show is just sad. I'd rather there hadn't been a reboot.

It is just sad!

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.

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.
