      I would have given it at least 1 in importance since the hyper space Jetray thing comes up fairly often in the community. Still, he was a bit too harsh imo but the episode is still garbage so who cares really. Although, I am very much looking forward to his review of the most random Ben 10 episode, " The Widening Gyre"

      @@shadowednight1600 I still like them. I don't think every villain in Ben 10 needs to be uber powerful all the time. I like that the Knigths are jobbers sometimes. Their treat isn't in competence, it's in overwhelming numbers. And in the element of surprise, because they are underestimated, so when they do actually do something dangerous the gang's not ready for it.
      I think the problem is moreso the show overuses them as the go to goons, instead of coming up with different cold open villains.

      There is a reason Future Ben doesnt endup with Julie but instead goes with Kai, at least Kai doesnt want to risk her source of fame.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @Squishito
      @Squishito 2 роки тому +2

      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.

    The only thing I liked is when Bazel asks the trio to shoot him and Kevin was gladly be the one to do it as a joke (mostly) untill Gwen stops him

    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?

    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.
