@@GodzillaMendoza Yup! I don't know if you saw my tweet but this came way sooner than I was expecting so I have been very hype the last few hours. Thanks again for taking my request. This video exceeded all expectations. Great retrospective!
The second Yuri bit reminded me of two things. One: He voiced Superman in that Legion of Super Heroes cartoon. And two: Ben can become a Spider-Man simply due to how Pete's DNA was altered thanks to the spider bite. Also I remember when I entered a contest related to the live action movie cuz I wanted that "deluxe Omnitrix" they were givin' out to the grand or first prize winner and I was pissed when I only got the DVD movie. I was 8 at the time or something I dunno
I remember sitting in our computer room literally the entire day when they did that Ben 10 Alien Force movie and were giving out watches and a car. I sat there entering every two hours like it said for literally the entire day, didn't get shit lol.
@@TheKingOfRooks my whole family was watching the premiere of the Alien Swarm movie. We all wanted to win Kevin's car. They trusted me to read the number to call to win. I had trouble since I was 7 and the number was in a word font so my brother got mad and took oover. He did no better lol.
@@kermitgotthesickkicks4265 idk. It seemed far too silly to me. From the start of the original you could tell that the sillyness also has a lot of seriousness. I feel like the reboot failed to catch that, even with that shockrock alien upgrade thing.
I personally liked Diamondhead, he was not only one the best designed aliens imo (Upgrade and Ghostfreak being my other favorites), but he was a very versatile alien, he was super durable, he could shapeshift his arms, he could reflect lasers, he could shoot diamond darts from his hands, he could generate small and large diamond formations from small little ramps that he could use to jump around at high speed to giant diamond geysers, the list goes on.
I was always into XLR8 myself. I loved the design looking like he wears an alien motorcycle helmet and speed has always been a favorite superpower of mine.
Yeah, Diamondhead always seemed like he was the perfect all-rounder, he was strong like Four Arms, he had range like Wildfire, he had a versatile tool kit like Upgrade without the need of any base technology, he basically made 3 of the 10 OGs redundant.
The premise of Ben 10 is just so bad ass. I always wished they made a more mature spin off or at least on a comic. The idea of changing in to aliens is so unique
Well Alien Force and Ultimate Alien were pretty mature imo. Both dealt with a lot of dark themes and the finale literally had a Cthulu type being show up and nearly kill everybody. Omniverse was underrated cos of its more stylistic art style but I think if holds up the best aside from the original (in terms of animation). Alien Force had the best writing tho, Rip Dwayne McDuffie.
Is this starting a series were he reviews every single ben 10 show and is gonna take 7 months to review alien force and ultimate alien together, because they are so similar to each other and then he is gonna move on to Omniverse then the reboot and then he will do the games
Alien Force reminded me of the Justice League animated series on occasion. It had a similar tone, similar art style, and the fighting music had some similarities too.
@@JohnSmith-lt1ck Idk I haven't seen it, but I will watch justice league the animated series, but I don't think the art style looks like that it reminds me more of Avatar than Justice League
The Omnitrix can scan a Xenomorph It doesn't matter if it's feral, it depends on the inteligence of the species Xenos are really intelligent, it's just that the public eye sees them as just "that creepy alien that murders everything and doesn't talk", so they don't see them as smart (it's basically the same that happens with Wildmutt, everyone thinks he's an irrational animal due to his savage appearence and unability to speak) Floraunas are feral to the point of only acting out of instinct, bordeline irrational, yet they are in the database. So are Dolphins, Chimps, Elephant and Rats, and they too are in the database. So a Xeno wouldn't be that much of a stretch.
@@jvbon646 nope, Derrick J Wyatt (while not a writer he confirms most info about Omniverse onward) stated that they are too feral. Also Only dolphins and mice are viable, all the other ones you said aren’t intelligent enough for the Omnitrix
One thing I really appreciate in hindsight was how much Ben respected and looked up to Grandpa Max. His powers were never a secret from him, and Max had enough in common with Ben when he was younger that he really feels like a mentor helping Ben become the best possible version of himself. An ideal Ben 10000 would be a lot like Max. I can't really identify with characters like spiderman and Danny phantom in the same way, because I could never imagine hiding secrets like that from my loved ones or playing them for fools just to "protect" them.
"It Started with an Alien device did what it did ,it stuck itself upon his wrist with secrets that it hid ,Now He's got SuperPowers He's No Ordinary Kid"
He's ben 10 so if you see him you might be in for a big surprise he'll turn into a alien before your very eyes he's slimy creepy fast and strong he's every shape and size he's ben 10
Apparently, according to Omniverse, the fourth series, Ben gets the wrong alien simply because he slams the dial too hard and glitches the timeout function.
The show executed what most kids want to be the most. And that’s being a superhero. A show about a elementary school kid using a Alien watch to save the universe while on summer vacation just hit so different. (I know I’m not only person who used to look outside the window to see if the omnitrix would drop in a foreseeable)
As a kid,I kept urging to get my Dad into this show, but he was more interested in anime and other superhero shows at the time. But at least I got my sister into it, she liked it so much, she got the toy watch for her birthday.
Fun fact: in brazil ben had the same voice actor for all of the original timeline, and he also voiced rigby from regular show and beast boy in both teen titans shows
"Any answer besides Heatblast and Ghostfreak is incorrect" Well, Ghostfreak was an amazing alien imo, and became even better as a villain, and Heatblast was my first Ben 10 toy, so there is no way I can dispute this claim. Honorable mention to Cannonbolt though, I dont know, I guess I really like the idea that a giant, fat armadillo like alien with weird chinese hair buns whose only power is to curl into a rolling ball, yet somehow is still one of Ben's most op aliens when it comes to brawling.
Gwen's magic didn't come out of nowhere though. It was foreshadowed in the Lucky Girl episodes. Also, you underestimate how important her magical prowess is to her character development.
YEEEASSSSS FINALLY SOMEONE TALKING ABOUT THIS SHOW! Funny story, when it was coming out, my first introduction to this series was on ep 2...I think it began with a building on fire where he was in Heatblast mode; when I saw that, I seriously believed he was the Human Torch and that there was a Fantastic 4 cartoon based on the movie that came out around that time. Long story short, this began my childhood obsession with this series, with me collecting all the seasons for Ben 10, alongside having most of all the games and a couple toys here and there. One of my favorite cartoons growing up.
@@Noaher256 Yeah, you’re right, and I appreciate them for keeping the fandom going and reviving interest, but I haven’t seen anyone outside of The Ink Tank talking about it. Hopefully we see more and more content creators making videos on the series. But yeah, I’ll make sure to check more of the Ink Tank’s content, because to be fair, I haven’t been keeping up.
XLR8 was my favorite, he always had a great aesthetic and I loved how the first game set up his physical appearance to be incorporated into his fighting styles. Like jumping off his tail and using his kangaroo type legs to non lethally murder Forever Knights. Also that Optimus Prime type visor on any character is a sell for me.
Ben 10, Alien Force and Ultimate Alien and Omniverse will probably be one of the best parts of my childhood watching Cartoon Network. On an unrelated note, how did you manage to get Yuri Lowenthal to do this?! Lucky stiff!
@@theirishpotato6588 he's in Fallout 3 and New Vegas as many different npcs, he's Sasuke from Naruto(English Dub), and many more that I can't remember off the top of my head...😅

I always thought of the so called glitch that made him turn into aliens he didn't pick as the watch trying to tell him which ones are actually more suitable for a certain task.
@@Eacles There are moments however when he gets the wrong alien and it turns out to be the one he needed all along. Because not every solution is solved with brute force.
@@rebal180 Ben only ever had the wrong alien because he was slapping the Omnitrix like a mosquito and even Azimuth told him that there was literally no need to slap it hard when he could always just select and press on it precisely.
My favorite used to be O.G Alien X before he gained master control over him. I loved how he had to convince the two primordial floating heads to save Gwen and Kevin, and the original episode with him was pretty sweet. But the best part by far was Kevin trying to put him into his car but Alien X couldn't bend when he was stuck in his trance so he just ended up shoving him through the window and drove off that way lol
I remember the day when I watched Ben 10's pilot episode. Ever since then, Ben 10 has become one of my all time favorite cartoons. Thank you for reviewing this.
Actually about the Null Void we do know at least one other universe in the multiverse has used the Null Void to store a dangerous villain they didn't want to deal with. That's Rex's world and they kind of just chucked one of the most dangerous villains in their universe into the Null Void so they wouldn't have to deal with it.
Wildmutt is an underappreciated alien. To this day I genuinely believe wildmutt could've been just as or even more of a reliable alien as four arms if the writers knew how to utilize him
@@saucymongoose7246 I mean, he would be op as fuck. He could become a literal God if that happened. But I'm pretty sure the show would come up with some limitations.
About Ben 10 not knowing what to do with Gwen's magic early on; I'm surprised more people haven't pointed out that they probably knew by the time Secret of the Omnitrix aired. If you pause when she returns for the final battle, her hand is pulsing purple, shimmering actually. Possibly a small easter egg, but thought it's worth a mention (or future click-bait video I guess)
I screamed like a banshee when I saw this video, I am SO glad this fandom is making a comeback! It's the one thing that's resonated with me ever since I was young
Ben 10 is childhood show of many people. One of the best Cartoon Network shows. With great characters, amazing writing and stunning action senses. Ben 10 will be remembered forever.
Fun fact: ben never turn the alien that he wanted because according to the show if you hit the omnitrix too hard you activate the random mode of the watch
@@ขนิษฐาอินทโรดม yeah, but we know that it is for the time out being inconsistent, but not for him getting the wrong alien. That could be the case, but we just don’t know, so we can’t say for sure.
While I can still tell Yuri has aged just a bit, unlike some other VAs, he could still play Ben and most people wouldn't notice the difference in pitch. One of the best VAs out there in my opinion.
The only problem the show had was that it was a bit scared to venture too far off course. This, along with some of the episodic nature lead to stuff like Ben needing to learn the same lesson on not being a jerk again and again and again. And personally, I loved the monster aliens. I just wish Ben used them more than once, almost makes that whole story arc feel like it doesn't have any impact going forward. And the designs/animation of everything was something else. We haven't had a show with that level of detail in a long time
I always had a theory that the reason Ben doesn’t always turns into the alien he selected was because he slaps the button down so fast he accidentally turns the dial again right before it went down all the way.
As a kid who lived off reruns and didn't care too much about air-order, I had always thought season 2's finale was the first series's finale. It made sense to me, because nothing really happened in the later seasons, so I always assumed the later two were reruns that I had missed or something
Hell yeah! What a blast of nostalgia. Ben 10 was one of my first favorite cartoons. I watched those DVDs endlessly and followed the show all the way until the middle of Omniverse where I fell off. It truly is just a great concept with a great cast of characters to boot.
Ghost freak and waybig were always my favorite as a kid. Having the powers of a ghost was always such a cool concept to me, and I loved giant kaijus like Godzilla so waybig was so awesome to see for my little brain.
18:12 well the episode is cannon according to the Ben 10 Ultimate alien series where paradox explains the future of that Ben 10K was real until young Ben met himself as Ben 10K ultimately changing his future as a result of well “time travel rules” this happens again subsequently after meeting himself again and changing his future once more.
In the original series, Heatblast was always my favorite. The voice actor for him was absolutely perfect and I really wished he had stayed on for the sequel series.
I love that you got Yuri again on the channel man! and also yesss I watched Ben 10 since it first premeired it has a special place in my heart I need to rewatch it all, I never fully watched Omniverse tho I stopped after the first season or half way through it
$200 for an Omnitrix toy with a smart watch in it? That already sounds more appealing than a Kamen Rider DX Driver (and those toys are already insanely cool, despite not being Megazord or Voltron figures).
The yuri bits cracked me up. As for my favorite aliens, of course Feedback is one of em, Ghostfreak and Heatblast are another two favorites. Then there's Upgrade, Xlr8, Benmummy, ditto, arcticguana, buzzshock, echo echo, swampfire, big chill, chromastone, X, ultimate echo echo, ultimate big chill, ult swampfire, fasttrack.... the list goes on
I’m surprised how you didn’t mention that the “Deluxe” watch you could buy at your local ToysRGone™️ had the functionality of the watch completely wrong because the dial didn’t pop up to select the aliens and instead you had to push the button at the bottom to confirm them... but yeah, good video.
I didn't have that one as a kid, but that's exactly what I'm talking about. The toys prioritized gimmicks and sound effects over accuracy and even when I was 8 years old it bugged the hell out of me
17:57 I based my first fanfic around this idea. In my story, Ben became immortal what he was 23 years old (guess where I have got this number from), and in the percent days, he is like 1,000 years old and searching for a successor so he could become more human again.
I recently watched all seasons of the first show back, at 19 yo lol. Gotta say I still enjoyed it (lotsa nostalgia ofc). When he turns alien it gives a wonderful feeling
@@Patrick_Nguyen actually no, in omniverse they made something called the nemetrix, which can scan Bens aliens predators, and the Xenomorph isn’t smart enough to Be in the omnitrx, he can scan the Predator though

I remember the day when I watched Ben 10's pilot episode. Ever since then, Ben 10 has become one of my all time favorite cartoons. Thank you for reviewing this.
Actually about the Null Void we do know at least one other universe in the multiverse has used the Null Void to store a dangerous villain they didn't want to deal with.
That's Rex's world and they kind of just chucked one of the most dangerous villains in their universe into the Null Void so they wouldn't have to deal with it.
The "TITANS GO" line was sooooooooooo fucking close to the original , this man is talented
Always loved Dimond Head. He gave me a Green Lantern vibe. And it fits with how he learns to use his powers more creatively.
Finally a big channel covers Ben 10
I remember suffering from the flu for a couple days as a kid, but is Ight cause my parents bout me Ben 10 action figures
I was the outcast whose favorite alien was Wildmutt.....still am
Trust me. You're not alone man. Us Wildmutts gotta stick together.
@@Spider-Mate respect 👊
Wildmutt is an underappreciated alien. To this day I genuinely believe wildmutt could've been just as or even more of a reliable alien as four arms if the writers knew how to utilize him
Could you guys imagine if Ben had accidentally unlocked all 1,000,906 strands of DNA within the Omnitrix at age 10
Imagine him unlocking Alien X at 10 lol
@@saucymongoose7246 I mean, he would be op as fuck. He could become a literal God if that happened. But I'm pretty sure the show would come up with some limitations.
@@Spider-Mate Ya think the faces would listen to itty bitty ben?
@@bipstymcbipste5641 oh yeah. I forgot about those guys. Now that I think about it Ben wouldn't be able to use Alien X as a ten year old.
@@Spider-Mate He'll be stuck there until hopefully the timer runs out
I've been waiting for this.
Happy to see Mr Lowenthal as a recurring guest!
About Ben 10 not knowing what to do with Gwen's magic early on; I'm surprised more people haven't pointed out that they probably knew by the time Secret of the Omnitrix aired. If you pause when she returns for the final battle, her hand is pulsing purple, shimmering actually. Possibly a small easter egg, but thought it's worth a mention (or future click-bait video I guess)
Ah Ben 10 my favorite franchise ever and my favorite Superhero ever. I love this franchise so much along with the fans for keeping the series alive.
I can't believe Kevin 11 was a better venom adaptation than insomniac venom
I love this show I was 12 when it came out in 2007 I'm now a 25 year old Man my god time flies fast
I screamed like a banshee when I saw this video, I am SO glad this fandom is making a comeback! It's the one thing that's resonated with me ever since I was young
Ben 10 is childhood show of many people. One of the best Cartoon Network shows. With great characters, amazing writing and stunning action senses. Ben 10 will be remembered forever.
I didn’t know Spiderman used to be Ben 10
Fun fact: ben never turn the alien that he wanted because according to the show if you hit the omnitrix too hard you activate the random mode of the watch
God I love that
It never says that, in omniverse azimuth says that it affects the time out function and not the alien Ben gets.
@@masteredultrainstinctlucar1239 I think Azmuth was going to say that too because he gets interrupted by Albedo's Omnitrix
@@ขนิษฐาอินทโรดม yeah, but we know that it is for the time out being inconsistent, but not for him getting the wrong alien. That could be the case, but we just don’t know, so we can’t say for sure.
5:29 That Uncharted reference was pure genius.
While I can still tell Yuri has aged just a bit, unlike some other VAs, he could still play Ben and most people wouldn't notice the difference in pitch. One of the best VAs out there in my opinion.
22:10 Swampfire
*I don't feel like giving an essay of why he's good rn its 7am*
The only problem the show had was that it was a bit scared to venture too far off course. This, along with some of the episodic nature lead to stuff like Ben needing to learn the same lesson on not being a jerk again and again and again.
And personally, I loved the monster aliens. I just wish Ben used them more than once, almost makes that whole story arc feel like it doesn't have any impact going forward.
And the designs/animation of everything was something else. We haven't had a show with that level of detail in a long time
Cannonbolt, Heatblast, Swampfire, and Chromastone are amazing aliens.
This show was the only thing I watched when I was a kid
5:15 Ha, that got me. Actually, Galvanic Mechamorphs can bond with anything techno and techno-organic things.
After all these years I'm still a Ben 10 fan.
I always had a theory that the reason Ben doesn’t always turns into the alien he selected was because he slaps the button down so fast he accidentally turns the dial again right before it went down all the way.
Man, I remember in 2009 after school, this or Alien Force would be playing on TV and it was always the coolest shit ever
Yuri is an amazing va
Bro senpai noticed you!
Wait a minute...I didn’t know that Greymatter was voiced by Richard S. Horvitz.
I remember waking up every Sunday morning and going into my mom’s room to watch this show. Good times.
As a kid who lived off reruns and didn't care too much about air-order, I had always thought season 2's finale was the first series's finale. It made sense to me, because nothing really happened in the later seasons, so I always assumed the later two were reruns that I had missed or something
Also, seeing Ben transform into a Xenomorph was freaking amazing!
What is xenomorph
@@nav_kahlwan Alien from the Alien franchise
The madman got the him, Yuri lowenthal himself
4:49 Oh hi, Optimus Prime.
Still one of if not my favorite cartoon of all time. The original Ben 10 just hits different, its so good.
Ben 10 has unlimited story potential. He could essentially be immortal for all we know...who knows what secrets the omnitrix holds
He *is* immortal by the time omniverse rolls around
I hate that people hate on bet 10 for no reason :’)
Hell yeah! What a blast of nostalgia. Ben 10 was one of my first favorite cartoons. I watched those DVDs endlessly and followed the show all the way until the middle of Omniverse where I fell off.
It truly is just a great concept with a great cast of characters to boot.
" *This summer has been going on and on. It feels like it's been going on for like... four years!* "
did anyone else notice he use the gen rex nanite explosion
hey for the few ppl that see this go watch the mortal kombat annihilation retrospective so he can make the next one :D
Please guys I want more MK 😭
I already watched it 2 times
Ghost freak and waybig were always my favorite as a kid. Having the powers of a ghost was always such a cool concept to me, and I loved giant kaijus like Godzilla so waybig was so awesome to see for my little brain.
Can’t believe I’m not the only one who remembers Yuri played Superman👌
my brain stopped working when i saw the episode in omniverse where teenage ben helps kid ben find the watch, i feel that was very cool
Xavier is just flexxing his newfound friendship with Yuri on us...
18:12 well the episode is cannon according to the Ben 10 Ultimate alien series where paradox explains the future of that Ben 10K was real until young Ben met himself as Ben 10K ultimately changing his future as a result of well “time travel rules” this happens again subsequently after meeting himself again and changing his future once more.
In the original series, Heatblast was always my favorite. The voice actor for him was absolutely perfect and I really wished he had stayed on for the sequel series.
I love that you got Yuri again on the channel man! and also yesss I watched Ben 10 since it first premeired it has a special place in my heart I need to rewatch it all, I never fully watched Omniverse tho I stopped after the first season or half way through it
$200 for an Omnitrix toy with a smart watch in it? That already sounds more appealing than a Kamen Rider DX Driver (and those toys are already insanely cool, despite not being Megazord or Voltron figures).
I love how Yuri just kept spouting off the wrong catchphrase.
The yuri bits cracked me up. As for my favorite aliens, of course Feedback is one of em, Ghostfreak and Heatblast are another two favorites. Then there's Upgrade, Xlr8, Benmummy, ditto, arcticguana, buzzshock, echo echo, swampfire, big chill, chromastone, X, ultimate echo echo, ultimate big chill, ult swampfire, fasttrack.... the list goes on
What made ben 10 a unique superhero was he was not just another guy in spandex or a cape. The idea was very unique.
The Heatblast and Ripjaws fusion is one of my favs despite how horrible he is conceptually lmao.
Also I'm so happy to hear Yuri again!! My childhood!
18:30 you're right. The Man OF ACTION group are mostly comic writers, in fact two of them created big hero six
...aaaand today I learned that "Man of Action" is actually 4 guys
I’m surprised how you didn’t mention that the “Deluxe” watch you could buy at your local ToysRGone™️ had the functionality of the watch completely wrong because the dial didn’t pop up to select the aliens and instead you had to push the button at the bottom to confirm them...
but yeah, good video.
I didn't have that one as a kid, but that's exactly what I'm talking about. The toys prioritized gimmicks and sound effects over accuracy and even when I was 8 years old it bugged the hell out of me
@@GodzillaMendoza I was just always mad I couldn’t SMASH IT
I remember staying up to watch the premier of Ben Ten Alien Force and how hyped I was and then realizing later that Ben was now voiced by Sasuke.
The world building in ben 10 is insanely good
I always loved Cannonbolt, personally. He had a great intro episode, and really showed off some of that creative genius Ben has.
I am a true lover of this franchise show and the games !!
Nice to hear someone talk about this amazing show. Great video!
Azmuth's dad looking younger doesn't mean Galvans age backwards, he is probably just a clone.
Makes sense
17:57 I based my first fanfic around this idea.
In my story, Ben became immortal what he was 23 years old (guess where I have got this number from), and in the percent days, he is like 1,000 years old and searching for a successor so he could become more human again.
Finally, the one weirdly specific cartoon I still love to this day
I recently watched all seasons of the first show back, at 19 yo lol. Gotta say I still enjoyed it (lotsa nostalgia ofc). When he turns alien it gives a wonderful feeling
Ben 10 was one of the most perfect superhero shows in my opinion the lore was amazing and the characters were so interesting
Damn I wanna rewatch the show now. Also Yuri is so cool for collaborating with online creators like this!
Now I honestly wonder how a Ben 10 x Alien crossover would go
I mean.. The xenomorph isn't as powerful as a lot of the aliens even in the original series
We know how it would go. Ben gets a new alien
@@Patrick_Nguyen actually no, in omniverse they made something called the nemetrix, which can scan Bens aliens predators, and the Xenomorph isn’t smart enough to Be in the omnitrx, he can scan the Predator though
@@everythingabouteverything3304 he still gets a new alien, no?
@@Patrick_Nguyen no he can’t become a Xenomorph, too feral for the Omnitrix
