Ladies, gentlemen and everyone else for the first time in forever. We have the first ben 10 episode to achieve all 0s in every category. CONGRATULATIONS EYE OF THE BEHOLDER.
I just don't understand why Ultimate Alien put Ben and Julie at odds with each other and ruin the chances of what could've been a sweet romance between the two. I always hate it when writers forcefully shoehorn-in pointless drama into romantic relationships, and this is a perfect example of that. Kevin and Gwen were also rather insufferable in this episode. The way they automatically picked Julie's side and constantly put the blame on Ben, not even wanting to listen to what he also goes through is just infuriating to watch. It kind of reminds me of when a man is getting beaten in public by a woman people assume it's because he deserves it. Also, Kevin has some nerve calling Ben a "world famous jerk", when just a few episodes ago he was hurting innocent people and wanted to drain Gwen of her powers.
Okay to be completely fair to Kevin, he wasn’t in his right mind, Kevin wasn’t so much of a jerk as he was more just insane, Kevin wasn’t uncaring, like Ben seems to be in this episode
NOW YOU KNOW What us amazing spider-man readers have to dealt regarding Peter parker's and mary jane's romance in comic book form! (Especially one more day..... urgh)
Well I don't have watched the complete episodes in a while, but for what I remember, didn't Ben choose to see a Movie over a Julie's important tenis match she want him to be there, and also was ready to cheat / change Julie for Eunice a episode ago? Kevin and Gwen saw all that so I can totally belive they would want to choose Julie's side.
2 questions 1. What would happen if Ben turned into humongousaur and sucker punched Kevin after he called Ben a jerk ? 2. Do you think this episode is better or worse than Duped ?
I remember really hating this episode. It had a bare bones plot and everyone was acting like jerks. It really makes you question why Ben and Julie are together, and come time in Omniverse when they breakup it's not really surprising. It's like the writers didn't know what to do with their relationship.
Rewrite: Have Ben go with Julie in RB3 to get Ship while Gwen and Kevin deal with the knights.(You guys are cops you can't just walk away in the middle of a fight!) On they way there have them talk about their issues/why they broke up. They find Ship then rescue Baz-L like in cannon. It reminds them of their first date. Then on the way back they promise to do better and get back together(Maybe have them get into Kevin's stash of fleen cakes).
@@HelloSayEm6 True, I just said it because that season is infamous for writing Ben like a jackass because executives thought it would be more relatable.
Wow. I knew this episode wasn't getting high ratings, but WOW. Admittedly, I liked the scenes with Jimmy and Brainstorm. The hyperspace scene was a missed opportunity for us to see Ultimate Jetray though.
That just reminds me of when I went to middle school and a girl in my class was in the same position every school photo and when I pointed that out someone actually laughed
Me during the AF breakdowns: I thought characterization and visuals couldn’t get lower than 2 Me during the UA breakdowns: I thought visuals and entertainment couldn’t get lower than 1
this is one of those episodes that make me glad you went with short reviews for the unimportant episodes. I wouldn't want you to waste your time on an episode you think is pointless, its better to focus on the episodes you like and think are important than... this.
Honestly, the thing about the episode that bugged me most (besides the interactions between Ben and Julie) was the whole slippery surface of the planet bit, as it literally had no point besides making Ben trip.
I really wish Ben and Julie had a heart to heart and just pour out their feelings cause it really feels like everytime Julie shows up Ben and her have to get into a fight or have relationship drama. Even as a kid I sided with Ben cause honestly he got it hard this episode I know he's a jerk but this is after THE ULTIMATE KEVIN ARC so it's crazy how Gwen and Kevin are ready to dunk on Ben when you would thought they have a little more respect for him. So I'm gonna assume it's probably pent up aggression. Ben being a jerk is honestly standard at this point. I do like we have a chance to have a deep dive into Ben's mind which is rare but I do like to know what goes through his head . Julie, Gwen, and Kevin are out of character but hey at least we got Baz-l everyone's favorite character. I actually like Baz-l. But yeah this episode reminded me that yeah this is probably why they broke Ben and julie up cause wow this episode painful to sit through.
Unironically, the only part of this episode that really got my interest was when Kevin was eating that blue snack, no joke, I always wondered how do those things taste and what’s their texture like
I never realized it at the time, but Baz-El is the only Galvanic Mechamorph to not have a filter over his voice. Every other Galvanic Mechamorph has a filter to make their voice sound more computerized, but his voice is just a straight-up British accent. I don't hate it, but it's a weird omission now that I think about it. Maybe they didn't intend for any Mechamorph but Upgrade to have that filter at the time.
@@ardzzz1010 maybe in past episodes but if we're talking about solely this episode Ben really did nothing wrong only thing he did that was bad really was not going to help out with Ship, but he did go to help so even then bens not really at fault here everyone else is being pretty unreasonable
I hated Julie in this chapter, literally the series wants to show that she is the victim and Ben the problem but the opposite happened to me, I even sided with Ben more (even though most of the series is desperate until the breaking up over a video game doesn't seem so bad to me), but don't worry, she's going to make the biggest mistake later: Confusing Vilgax with Dagon causes a cult to now want to kill his ""boyfriend"" (I imagine Ben looking angry at what happened off-screen)
naaahhhh... she wasn't the wrong one in this ep, maybe gwen bc i feel like she overreacted instead of julie who accept ben's refuse pretty well before she literally just turned away and THEN gwen came out of nowhere
@@jainaraalves516 nah Julie was acting hella unreasonable, I mean she practically broke up with Ben just because he couldn't spend enough time with her which as he said really isn't his fault, does ben sometimes have a chance to spend time but messes it up? Yes he does, but in this episode Ben was literally mid fight and Julie wanted to talk about their relationship she doesn't even care about the fact that if he doesn't fight people could die, pretty sure she would get mad even if everytime ben wasnt able to spend time with her was because he was fighting crime which is very unreasonable
Ngl. Julie was annoying AF in this episode. "Ship, you wanted to save your friend's life, then I think you should go with him" And Ben dared not to talk to her in the middle of a fight. How could he do a thing so terrible? 😐 For me, the best Ben's love interest was Ester.
I feel like ben and Julie's relation ship was ruined by them righting julie to seem more selfish then she was originally. Also I feel like baz l wasn't treated very well, but I know that sh!t dont matter
It feels like this episode was made to try and close remaining story beats, if I'm wording that correctly, like Ben's relationship with Julie, Julie's relationship with Ship, Gwen and Kevin's resentment towards Ben for being irresponsible, Baz-El as a character and so on, but it doesn't work and just feels forced. On an unrelated note, this was the episode that involved the cyclops aliens, or whatever they were called? I think back to this every so often and think that it would've been cool, if Ben had gotten one of these beings as a transformation. In fact, I thought that was what the episode was building up to but, alas, it wasn't. Which is a shame as it would've given the episode at least a purpose if nothing else.
This was a sick tear down honestly, pretty ruthless to the point where it was hilarious. Like just the dead inside voice made it 10x more vicious. The first 0 too. My guy has some serious history with this episode lol. I mean it is pretty abysmal, I remember hating it as a kid as well. The Julie stuff was just always so unpleasant.
When the 'Simple' review came out I was wondering if any episode would be lower - and I thought if there was going to be one, it would be this one. Guess I was right lol
@@skibot9974 definitely understandable, I'd probably pick that as the worst omniverse episode Though 'the most dangerous game show' , 'fight at the museum' and 'rules of engagement ' are all pretty close imo
@@Darkspyre2 what I find most intersting about “The Most Dangerous Gameshow” is it was written by Yuri Lowenthal who plays Ben. And his wife is Tara Platt the voice of Ester. I wonder how she reacted when she first read her husband’s script
I feel if the team wanted to build towards a plot line where ben and Julie break up, they should have spent more time also showing the positives of their relationship. And maybe make their arguments be more over things related to lifestyle than personality. Like have her be upset that ben is rarely around because he is always working a case or something similar. And also like give ben reasons to be upset with her as well. There is so much the writers could have done with the idea that they didn't, and then the new omniverse turns them eventually breaking up into another lol random throwaway gag
I honestly don't care for how ben and Juile breakds up as long Juile is far away from him. But they did that ester break up dirty af with the destiny bs with a show with alternate realties and multiverses and alternate timelines.
Ben in Absolute Power: “When I thought you were dead, I had to do a lot of growing up. For a while, but then I let my fame go to my head. I've been as big a jerk these past few months as I ever was. Ben in Eye of the Beholder: “I’m A wOrLd FaMoUs HeRo”
It was at this point that I noticed there were a lot more characters and creatures in the Ben 10 franchise that seem to wear black undies/loincloths. But I often questioned myself why they did this all the same. Probably a stylistic trope in the superhero/sci-fi genre. Correct me if I am wrong. I sometimes draw creatures in that single article of clothing sometimes, inspired, of course, by the design choices they made throughout AF, UA and Omniverse, depending on the circumstances, like ritualistic and traditional purposes, or if it fits the design of said character.
It's kind of just a thing with UAF honestly. They design things in a basic kind of way and so it all ends up looking really similar, like how they make everything red and silver. So if your seeing a lot of black undies on dudes then that's probably why. Hell, even if you look at the AF Omnitrix alien designs you can see a lot of recurring design elements with them that make them look too similar. Most of them have that gritting teeth mouth, they have similar chest things (look at Spidermonkey, Big Chill, and Humongousaur's torsos) etc. UAF just had really simplified, repetitive looking designs a lot of the time, and as a result the background aliens ended up going from grotesque interesting Tom Perkins designs from the original show, to different colored human-shape guys with pointy ears and undies or something in UAF.
@@Squishito Very true. I do see some recurring elements like these and I agree with you. Definitely a stylistic choice they had at the time. Sometimes I do see some simplified character designs as well, which does make the style and animation slightly more economical and is my favourite Ben 10 style, but it can sometimes make designs on certain creatures look bland and sometimes forgettable. Plus I find some Omni/Ultimatrix aliens a bit bland as well like Jury Rigg, who doesn’t look like an alien at all, plus Eatle, I found his Omniverse design more interesting than his UA design. Looked more like a Japanese robot to me.
This is one of those episodes of UAF that make me wonder if the writers even remembered Classic, like how does Baz-l get a stomach ache? He's a blob of nanites!
@@Andrew-Bastin And the show would be good lol. Felt like 90% of the time they were purposely retconning and ruining stuff from classic out of spite or something, like there's no way that level of inconsistency and incompetence is an accident. They straight up must have hated the first show.
@@Andrew-Bastin right. Retcons in Omniverse are the writers purposely ignoring stuff UAF established and bringing OG stuff back, but the retcons in UAF feels like the writers didn't even care about the classic enough to maintain consistency. That's why I'm less mad with what OV changed (even though I don't like it either).
@@LuisGustavoSO i don't know, the rooters retcons feel like over correction..... to the point i dislike omniverse more even though for some reason in the section of the fandom i am in they call omniverse underrrated jewel and i feel so lonely
@@ianr.navahuber2195 the rooters retcon could’ve been handled better but considering the mess Kevin’s backstory already was, I don’t blame the OV writers for trying to fix it and for the most part it works.
The only thing I remember from this episode is Jetray going hyper speed and the temple. I swears when I watched it I felt like Ben and the gang were the bad guys because they literally just destroyed a scared temple with no remorse. I felt bad for the Cyclops.
I think for importance it should get at least a 1, considering I think this is the episode Ben first used Jetray to hyperspeed fly through space. Other than that it’s got nothing going for it
I'm sure you pointed this out Kuro in this breakdown, but yeah it's weird to see the prototype omnitrix when Ben transforms into Jetray and Brainstorm. Considering that it got destroyed in the Alien Force Season 3 finale which in my opinion the season 3 of Alien Force could've been written better if the writers didn't screw it up
To be fair, Yuri Lowenthal did voice Sasuke Uchiha, another awesome character who, like 16-year old Ben, has very little relationship skills with his best friend, his soon-to-be wife and even his own daughter!
Jetray having hyperspeed make no sens at all. I would go as far to say that the hyperspeed flight fit astrodactyl better since he have jetpack (which is part of his biology) for propulsion
Another problem I have is why are Ben and Julie on bad terms again from duped when we see in hero time and absolute power part 2 that there still a couple.
@@t.i.5528 It's even more painful to watch because Ben already knows that. In Alien Force seasons 1 and 2 Ben already became the hero he was meant to be. At least in Classic Ben was still learning how to be a hero, and he was only 10. What's UA Ben's excuse?
Wow, I didn’t expect this episode to get a whole zero but I do agree I do think that this episode is abysmal. It feels like that everyone is just being a jerk to Ben, which he did screw up with Julie, but everyone just felt like a jerk and Kevin saying that Ben just doesn’t care did he not hear young Ben explaining why he acts like this in the forge of creation?
@Dawid Stawowski That’s kind of the point though? In the scene Ben literally says to Kevin “So you’re an expert on feelings?” To which he responds “No, but I’m an expert on jerks” Also, while Kevin does occasionally still stumble after his initial turn to the light (Ultimate Kevin arc excluded for obvious reasons) in terms of maintaining a healthy romantic relationship he’s got Ben beat by a mile
I really wish that ben had a moment with Julie like he had with azimuth when he says there is no point in the argument because it doesn’t help anyone. Also for him to break up with Julie
How come many fans were unhappy about Jetray going in the hyper space ? Also I agree sitting through this episode made me uncomfortable. Did the writers even forget the scene where Gwen told Ben he had good manners in Peer Pressure ?
@@monochronous1661 if was ultimate Jetray to use that ability i would buy it, and about the spaceship usually Ben just goes with the gang to space so...eh
Jetray brainstorm and ultimate swampfire have really made the episode shine and with Ben and Julie’s relationship it’s complicated yes, I consider this as normal teen drama for them
Holy crap, I didn't even realize it was POSSIBLE for an episode to get a 0/25. I was sure Visuals and Entertainment were the two things that could always at least deliver SOMETHING in an action cartoon, no matter how little. Although it almost makes me feel like an episode this terrible deserved a full breakdown lmao
Because it's really busted and it's really weird that an alien species can just do that whenever it wants, feels more like the writers throwing it in there out of writing convenience rather than fleshing out alien abilities. It's also never brought up or utilized again and Ben never used it earlier when it could have been really helpful, so there's that. It's so lame and out of no where that during Omniverse, Derrick J. Wyatt retconned it into being a "glitch power" of the Ultimatrix so it wasn't something Aerophibians could actually do normally. He usually did that for really, really stupid stuff that UAF made up that he hated and didn't want to work with lol, and I honestly can't blame him because UAF did some really stupid shit, especially with alien powers and balancing.
@@kermitgotthesickkicks4265 Well DJW's word on that is not to be taken strictly as truth because he wasn't involved in those specific things. But yeah, sometimes UA did some sketchy bs with the aliens but I still think those things could work. For example, Echo Echo flying (he just uses the sound waves to fly, not complicated to explain and shows Ben's mastery over the alien), Way Big having super speed (Yeah, they kinda took this one out of their asses BUUUUUT, Way Big is born in cosmic storms and is arguably one of the most powerful aliens in the Omnitrix... is it that hard to believe that he could have super speed?).
This deadass seems like it was meant to he a filler alien force episode but they never used it then decided to use it for filler for ultimate alien and just made some changes
If you compare Julie and Eunice from this episode and the previous episode respectively you can understand which character has better chemistry with Ben
I like this ep bc it's the only one, aside from the Weapon XI two-parter, that so much as recognizes the Ultimate Kevin arc. The way Gwen and Kevin treated Ben could be some leftovers from that, right?
I remember waiting for you to get to this episode thinking that this wasn’t a good episode, but hoping that your opinion will open my eyes to something appealing about it. Looks like I was right to think that way, even though I dislike the Alien Force episode Simple more, because I found Baz-el to be entertaining enough.
Damn, Kuro massacred this episode. Based on the title, I could predicted a very low score but a 0/25 was unexpected.
Kuro was probably having a bad day

I don’t either (probably because I never watched it)
@@axelnilsson5124 same here
I just don't understand why Ultimate Alien put Ben and Julie at odds with each other and ruin the chances of what could've been a sweet romance between the two. I always hate it when writers forcefully shoehorn-in pointless drama into romantic relationships, and this is a perfect example of that. Kevin and Gwen were also rather insufferable in this episode. The way they automatically picked Julie's side and constantly put the blame on Ben, not even wanting to listen to what he also goes through is just infuriating to watch. It kind of reminds me of when a man is getting beaten in public by a woman people assume it's because he deserves it. Also, Kevin has some nerve calling Ben a "world famous jerk", when just a few episodes ago he was hurting innocent people and wanted to drain Gwen of her powers.
But (you know) he was insane
Okay to be completely fair to Kevin, he wasn’t in his right mind, Kevin wasn’t so much of a jerk as he was more just insane, Kevin wasn’t uncaring, like Ben seems to be in this episode
NOW YOU KNOW What us amazing spider-man readers have to dealt regarding Peter parker's and mary jane's romance in comic book form!
(Especially one more day..... urgh)
Well I don't have watched the complete episodes in a while, but for what I remember, didn't Ben choose to see a Movie over a Julie's important tenis match she want him to be there, and also was ready to cheat / change Julie for Eunice a episode ago? Kevin and Gwen saw all that so I can totally belive they would want to choose Julie's side.
2 questions
1. What would happen if Ben turned into humongousaur and sucker punched Kevin after he called Ben a jerk ?
2. Do you think this episode is better or worse than Duped ?
I remember really hating this episode. It had a bare bones plot and everyone was acting like jerks. It really makes you question why Ben and Julie are together, and come time in Omniverse when they breakup it's not really surprising. It's like the writers didn't know what to do with their relationship.
I am still surprised to see some people saying:- "WHy dId tHey brEak uP BeN and JUli in Omniverse!"
Jetray going hyperspeed looked really good in my opinion
it should've been Ultimate Jetray imo
@@Loguer ha! Ultimate aliens? In ultimate alien? Your living in a fantasy world.

Yeah that was the perfect opportunity to use Ultimate Jetray to travel faster than light.
@@Loguer Yeah
Just having a cameo of ultimate jetray (or ultimate chromastone or diamondhead) even if he never used the form again would be nice
Rewrite: Have Ben go with Julie in RB3 to get Ship while Gwen and Kevin deal with the knights.(You guys are cops you can't just walk away in the middle of a fight!) On they way there have them talk about their issues/why they broke up. They find Ship then rescue Baz-L like in cannon. It reminds them of their first date. Then on the way back they promise to do better and get back together(Maybe have them get into Kevin's stash of fleen cakes).
That’s much better.
like in the eunice episode kuro said eunice ship landing paralled with ben seeing the omnitrix crash
@@RaidensBoobies17 yeah paralling pier pressure.
It feels like they wrote this episode during Alien force s3 and they just didn't find room to release it until now
Coming from the future lol, I'd argue AF S3 showed more respect to Ben and Julie's relationship with 'Single-handed' alone.
@@HelloSayEm6 True, I just said it because that season is infamous for writing Ben like a jackass because executives thought it would be more relatable.
The fact that an episode actually got a 0/25 is rly funny to me

Wow. I knew this episode wasn't getting high ratings, but WOW.
Admittedly, I liked the scenes with Jimmy and Brainstorm. The hyperspace scene was a missed opportunity for us to see Ultimate Jetray though.
I love your account name
I don't mind Jetray being able to FTL in long disatances, but Dwayne contradicting it causes all sorts of drama whwnever it's brought up.

It is required by law that the second episode of each Ultimate Alien season is lackluster.
That just reminds me of when I went to middle school and a girl in my class was in the same position every school photo and when I pointed that out someone actually laughed
Me during the AF breakdowns: I thought characterization and visuals couldn’t get lower than 2
Me during the UA breakdowns: I thought visuals and entertainment couldn’t get lower than 1
this is one of those episodes that make me glad you went with short reviews for the unimportant episodes. I wouldn't want you to waste your time on an episode you think is pointless, its better to focus on the episodes you like and think are important than... this.
As much as I’d like to agree with this, seeing Kuro bash it for 30 minutes would also be very entertaining
The best part about this episode is that CN bumper where Ship is actually asking for the bathroom.
I'm convinced this was originally an Aloen Force episode, but they scrapped it and had to rewrite it for it to make sense for UA
That makes sense
Yeah, it fits with the 3rd season of AF with all the other things we should forget about
Honestly, the thing about the episode that bugged me most (besides the interactions between Ben and Julie) was the whole slippery surface of the planet bit, as it literally had no point besides making Ben trip.
if you thought the Gold Poop episode from AF S3 was bad, this makes that one look like Gold, without the Poop
The disbelieving “What the fuck is this?” was pretty good and feels like it could apply to the whole episode.
I really wish Ben and Julie had a heart to heart and just pour out their feelings cause it really feels like everytime Julie shows up Ben and her have to get into a fight or have relationship drama. Even as a kid I sided with Ben cause honestly he got it hard this episode I know he's a jerk but this is after THE ULTIMATE KEVIN ARC so it's crazy how Gwen and Kevin are ready to dunk on Ben when you would thought they have a little more respect for him. So I'm gonna assume it's probably pent up aggression. Ben being a jerk is honestly standard at this point. I do like we have a chance to have a deep dive into Ben's mind which is rare but I do like to know what goes through his head . Julie, Gwen, and Kevin are out of character but hey at least we got Baz-l everyone's favorite character. I actually like Baz-l. But yeah this episode reminded me that yeah this is probably why they broke Ben and julie up cause wow this episode painful to sit through.
Unironically, the only part of this episode that really got my interest was when Kevin was eating that blue snack, no joke, I always wondered how do those things taste and what’s their texture like
Fleen Cake
Only good thing, cuz its food
I never realized it at the time, but Baz-El is the only Galvanic Mechamorph to not have a filter over his voice. Every other Galvanic Mechamorph has a filter to make their voice sound more computerized, but his voice is just a straight-up British accent. I don't hate it, but it's a weird omission now that I think about it. Maybe they didn't intend for any Mechamorph but Upgrade to have that filter at the time.
He sounds like Mickey Mouse
Head cannon this was some weird ass dream ben had
Ah yes an episode Where I wanted to throw a shoe to Julie, Kevin and Gwen. Ben was ok - message from a single guy
idk, ben also has some fault here.
@@ardzzz1010 maybe in past episodes but if we're talking about solely this episode Ben really did nothing wrong only thing he did that was bad really was not going to help out with Ship, but he did go to help so even then bens not really at fault here everyone else is being pretty unreasonable
All I can say is THANK FREKIN GOD THIS EPISODE GOT A QUICK REVIEW! IT DOESN'T DESERVE A FULL BREAKDOWN!
Kuro is just blasting his way through these until he hits the Daigon arc
I hated Julie in this chapter, literally the series wants to show that she is the victim and Ben the problem but the opposite happened to me, I even sided with Ben more (even though most of the series is desperate until the breaking up over a video game doesn't seem so bad to me), but don't worry, she's going to make the biggest mistake later: Confusing Vilgax with Dagon causes a cult to now want to kill his ""boyfriend"" (I imagine Ben looking angry at what happened off-screen)
tbf, she didn't know vilgax's true form
naaahhhh... she wasn't the wrong one in this ep, maybe gwen bc i feel like she overreacted instead of julie who accept ben's refuse pretty well before
she literally just turned away and THEN gwen came out of nowhere
@@jainaraalves516 nah Julie was acting hella unreasonable, I mean she practically broke up with Ben just because he couldn't spend enough time with her which as he said really isn't his fault, does ben sometimes have a chance to spend time but messes it up? Yes he does, but in this episode Ben was literally mid fight and Julie wanted to talk about their relationship she doesn't even care about the fact that if he doesn't fight people could die, pretty sure she would get mad even if everytime ben wasnt able to spend time with her was because he was fighting crime which is very unreasonable
Ngl. Julie was annoying AF in this episode. "Ship, you wanted to save your friend's life, then I think you should go with him" And Ben dared not to talk to her in the middle of a fight. How could he do a thing so terrible? 😐
For me, the best Ben's love interest was Ester.
Yea bruh julie was a b---- that's why I never even liked her lol
Facts
I feel like ben and Julie's relation ship was ruined by them righting julie to seem more selfish then she was originally. Also I feel like baz l wasn't treated very well, but I know that sh!t dont matter
Man the title got my attention right away. I always wanted to see which one will be ranked the lowest
It feels like this episode was made to try and close remaining story beats, if I'm wording that correctly, like Ben's relationship with Julie, Julie's relationship with Ship, Gwen and Kevin's resentment towards Ben for being irresponsible, Baz-El as a character and so on, but it doesn't work and just feels forced. On an unrelated note, this was the episode that involved the cyclops aliens, or whatever they were called? I think back to this every so often and think that it would've been cool, if Ben had gotten one of these beings as a transformation. In fact, I thought that was what the episode was building up to but, alas, it wasn't. Which is a shame as it would've given the episode at least a purpose if nothing else.
This was a sick tear down honestly, pretty ruthless to the point where it was hilarious. Like just the dead inside voice made it 10x more vicious. The first 0 too. My guy has some serious history with this episode lol. I mean it is pretty abysmal, I remember hating it as a kid as well. The Julie stuff was just always so unpleasant.
tear down. epic.
When the 'Simple' review came out I was wondering if any episode would be lower - and I thought if there was going to be one, it would be this one. Guess I was right lol
We still have Viktor the Spoils, first episode to get a -1 in every category
That episode's not great, but I don't remember it being anywhere near as bad as simple and this one
Kuro has said in the past Clyde 5 is his least favorite episode
@@skibot9974 definitely understandable, I'd probably pick that as the worst omniverse episode
Though 'the most dangerous game show' , 'fight at the museum' and 'rules of engagement ' are all pretty close imo
@@Darkspyre2 what I find most intersting about “The Most Dangerous Gameshow” is it was written by Yuri Lowenthal who plays Ben. And his wife is Tara Platt the voice of Ester. I wonder how she reacted when she first read her husband’s script
I feel if the team wanted to build towards a plot line where ben and Julie break up, they should have spent more time also showing the positives of their relationship. And maybe make their arguments be more over things related to lifestyle than personality. Like have her be upset that ben is rarely around because he is always working a case or something similar. And also like give ben reasons to be upset with her as well. There is so much the writers could have done with the idea that they didn't, and then the new omniverse turns them eventually breaking up into another lol random throwaway gag
I honestly don't care for how ben and Juile breakds up as long Juile is far away from him. But they did that ester break up dirty af with the destiny bs with a show with alternate realties and multiverses and alternate timelines.
The only reason I remember this episode is because of how ridiculously angry Jetray going hyperspeed makes me.

This episode getting a pure 0/25 is extreme… but entirely fair. This episode sucks at everything
"Do you mind, we're having a conversation here?"
"THIS IS A TEMPLE!"
Idk why but that quote sounds kind of funny to me
Ben in Absolute Power: “When I thought you were dead, I had to do a lot of growing up. For a while, but then I let my fame go to my head. I've been as big a jerk these past few months as I ever was.
Ben in Eye of the Beholder: “I’m A wOrLd FaMoUs HeRo”
Inconsistency at its finest!
It was at this point that I noticed there were a lot more characters and creatures in the Ben 10 franchise that seem to wear black undies/loincloths. But I often questioned myself why they did this all the same. Probably a stylistic trope in the superhero/sci-fi genre. Correct me if I am wrong.
I sometimes draw creatures in that single article of clothing sometimes, inspired, of course, by the design choices they made throughout AF, UA and Omniverse, depending on the circumstances, like ritualistic and traditional purposes, or if it fits the design of said character.
It's kind of just a thing with UAF honestly. They design things in a basic kind of way and so it all ends up looking really similar, like how they make everything red and silver. So if your seeing a lot of black undies on dudes then that's probably why. Hell, even if you look at the AF Omnitrix alien designs you can see a lot of recurring design elements with them that make them look too similar. Most of them have that gritting teeth mouth, they have similar chest things (look at Spidermonkey, Big Chill, and Humongousaur's torsos) etc. UAF just had really simplified, repetitive looking designs a lot of the time, and as a result the background aliens ended up going from grotesque interesting Tom Perkins designs from the original show, to different colored human-shape guys with pointy ears and undies or something in UAF.
@@Squishito Very true. I do see some recurring elements like these and I agree with you. Definitely a stylistic choice they had at the time.
Sometimes I do see some simplified character designs as well, which does make the style and animation slightly more economical and is my favourite Ben 10 style, but it can sometimes make designs on certain creatures look bland and sometimes forgettable. Plus I find some Omni/Ultimatrix aliens a bit bland as well like Jury Rigg, who doesn’t look like an alien at all, plus Eatle, I found his Omniverse design more interesting than his UA design. Looked more like a Japanese robot to me.
@@Squishito Jury Rigg’s design was more interesting in OV. The aviator goggles were a nice touch.
I mean, they did the mutated Kevin plot three times as well.
But it was never boring (except AF 3)
@@axelnilsson5124 plus it's the only time where kevin isn't a complete weakling
This is one of those episodes of UAF that make me wonder if the writers even remembered Classic, like how does Baz-l get a stomach ache? He's a blob of nanites!
If the UAF writers actually remembered anything from Classic, we’ll have far fewer retcons and inconsistencies
@@Andrew-Bastin And the show would be good lol. Felt like 90% of the time they were purposely retconning and ruining stuff from classic out of spite or something, like there's no way that level of inconsistency and incompetence is an accident. They straight up must have hated the first show.
@@Andrew-Bastin right. Retcons in Omniverse are the writers purposely ignoring stuff UAF established and bringing OG stuff back, but the retcons in UAF feels like the writers didn't even care about the classic enough to maintain consistency. That's why I'm less mad with what OV changed (even though I don't like it either).
@@LuisGustavoSO i don't know, the rooters retcons feel like over correction.....
to the point i dislike omniverse more even though for some reason in the section of the fandom i am in they call omniverse underrrated jewel and i feel so lonely
@@ianr.navahuber2195 the rooters retcon could’ve been handled better but considering the mess Kevin’s backstory already was, I don’t blame the OV writers for trying to fix it and for the most part it works.
The only thing I remember from this episode is Jetray going hyper speed and the temple. I swears when I watched it I felt like Ben and the gang were the bad guys because they literally just destroyed a scared temple with no remorse. I felt bad for the Cyclops.
"So phoned in you should have left it to voicemail" has to be the hardest burn I've ever heard
I think for importance it should get at least a 1, considering I think this is the episode Ben first used Jetray to hyperspeed fly through space. Other than that it’s got nothing going for it

I'm sure you pointed this out Kuro in this breakdown, but yeah it's weird to see the prototype omnitrix when Ben transforms into Jetray and Brainstorm. Considering that it got destroyed in the Alien Force Season 3 finale which in my opinion the season 3 of Alien Force could've been written better if the writers didn't screw it up
To be fair, Yuri Lowenthal did voice Sasuke Uchiha, another awesome character who, like 16-year old Ben, has very little relationship skills with his best friend, his soon-to-be wife and even his own daughter!
SasuSaku is the best ship, no other ship even comes close
jk
Yeah but unlike Ben, Sasuke has more reasons of being socially inept.
One thing I find interesting in this episode is Kevin having some most delicious pastries in the galaxies at his possession
Jetray having hyperspeed make no sens at all. I would go as far to say that the hyperspeed flight fit astrodactyl better since he have jetpack (which is part of his biology) for propulsion
agreed
This episode caught Kuro on a very bad day.
We have a new record with the first Ben 10 episode to get a 0/25
Another problem I have is why are Ben and Julie on bad terms again from duped when we see in hero time and absolute power part 2 that there still a couple.
When he is done eventually, he should do a Top 10 best and worst list (based on the ratings).

Had to rewatch Ultimate Sacrifice after this to remind myself that Gwen and Kevin even like Ben.

This fills like they had a left over script from af season three and decided to add ultimate swamp fire and call it a day
Wow, I didn’t expect this episode to get a whole zero but I do agree I do think that this episode is abysmal. It feels like that everyone is just being a jerk to Ben, which he did screw up with Julie, but everyone just felt like a jerk and Kevin saying that Ben just doesn’t care did he not hear young Ben explaining why he acts like this in the forge of creation?
Also, when Gwen said that Ben never stuck by her does she not remember the time when Ben saved her from Nesmith? and said that she was his girl?
Also, I feel bad that Yuri Lowenthal, Vyvan Pham, Ashley Johnson, Greg Cipes, and Rob Paulsen, had to read such an abysmal script
I will say, for all this episode’s problems, seeing Kevin tell off Ben for being a jerk was pretty cathartic
@Dawid Stawowski That’s kind of the point though? In the scene Ben literally says to Kevin
“So you’re an expert on feelings?”
To which he responds
“No, but I’m an expert on jerks”
Also, while Kevin does occasionally still stumble after his initial turn to the light (Ultimate Kevin arc excluded for obvious reasons) in terms of maintaining a healthy romantic relationship he’s got Ben beat by a mile
I really wish that ben had a moment with Julie like he had with azimuth when he says there is no point in the argument because it doesn’t help anyone. Also for him to break up with Julie
Ben and Julie really should’ve just broke up this episode and spear us the rest of this dysfunctional relationship drama.
How come many fans were unhappy about Jetray going in the hyper space ? Also I agree sitting through this episode made me uncomfortable. Did the writers even forget the scene where Gwen told Ben he had good manners in Peer Pressure ?

Holy crap, I didn't even realize it was POSSIBLE for an episode to get a 0/25. I was sure Visuals and Entertainment were the two things that could always at least deliver SOMETHING in an action cartoon, no matter how little.
Although it almost makes me feel like an episode this terrible deserved a full breakdown lmao
Why do people have problem with Jetray jumping into hyper space? We know he is fast, we know he doesn't need to breathe, it made sense to me.
would've made more sense for ultimate jetray.
Because it's really busted and it's really weird that an alien species can just do that whenever it wants, feels more like the writers throwing it in there out of writing convenience rather than fleshing out alien abilities. It's also never brought up or utilized again and Ben never used it earlier when it could have been really helpful, so there's that. It's so lame and out of no where that during Omniverse, Derrick J. Wyatt retconned it into being a "glitch power" of the Ultimatrix so it wasn't something Aerophibians could actually do normally. He usually did that for really, really stupid stuff that UAF made up that he hated and didn't want to work with lol, and I honestly can't blame him because UAF did some really stupid shit, especially with alien powers and balancing.
@@kermitgotthesickkicks4265 Well DJW's word on that is not to be taken strictly as truth because he wasn't involved in those specific things. But yeah, sometimes UA did some sketchy bs with the aliens but I still think those things could work. For example, Echo Echo flying (he just uses the sound waves to fly, not complicated to explain and shows Ben's mastery over the alien), Way Big having super speed (Yeah, they kinda took this one out of their asses BUUUUUT, Way Big is born in cosmic storms and is arguably one of the most powerful aliens in the Omnitrix... is it that hard to believe that he could have super speed?).

I think only thing I like in this episode is kevin saying "I'm an expert in jerks.".
Personally, I think this episode is just proof that UAF can't just chill the fuck out for a moment and have some common sense for once.
Well at least the episode showed some sort of alien religion existing in the universe.
I like this ep bc it's the only one, aside from the Weapon XI two-parter, that so much as recognizes the Ultimate Kevin arc. The way Gwen and Kevin treated Ben could be some leftovers from that, right?
i completely forgot about this episode
Not sure how I feel about this being a short one.
All I have to say is
" Fuck Baz-L. All my homies hate Baz-L. "
When ranking something from 0 to X there's no way you can give it a 0.
0 is basically an impossibility. All round 1's would have made more sense.
I remember waiting for you to get to this episode thinking that this wasn’t a good episode, but hoping that your opinion will open my eyes to something appealing about it. Looks like I was right to think that way, even though I dislike the Alien Force episode Simple more, because I found Baz-el to be entertaining enough.
