The original Ben 10 was an incredibly fun show starring Ben 10, a 10-year-old kid who had the power to turn into 10 aliens! Too bad he couldn't turn into a kind person, dang ol' Ben 10 doesn't even want to let Grandpa see his favorite band! Crazy stuff.

Nice to see you here Negative Legend :)
That's what I thought like cool I like when channels I watch watch each other for some reason
Gee, I wonder why?
Very true
Hi negative
I love how Grandpa's reaction to Vilgax kidnapping Ben wasn't "We must defeat Vilgax and save Ben." it was "Guess Vilgax wants to die."
@Lord Eurgh
Sounds about right.XD
"Okay, so Ben got kidnapped by an alien warlord. Guess we're having calamari for dinner."
Vilgax: kidnaps Ben
Grandpa: So you have chosen death
I love how
Grandpa Max was a BAD ASS even before we found out he’s a former space soldier! I had just assumed he was a marine
Man was sucker punching animo since day one
Like Master Chief?
Dude, Grandpa Max was in the Air Force
@@giahuynguyenkim6389 And he also was an astronaut.
@@e3nethan910 Granpa Max is a legend of the galaxies
One of my favorite episodes was when Ben had a cold and it was affecting all the aliens. I remember wildmutt had a difficult time smelling, because Ben’s nose was stuffed up. Heatblast shot ice, because he had a “cold”
i love that episode maybe they could of made it so that ben can unlock the ice powers or heat blast when he wasn't sick same thing with big chill so that when ultimate he also had fire powers i thing big chill only had ice powers i could be wrong
@Ethan Kellerman it’s also ironic considering blue is hotter than red where heat and fire is involved
@@jantheking7028 Wasn't a similar thing in the sequels, but like, in reverse?
The watch scaled Ben's aliens to his age, so Ben as a human in puberty translated to Big Chill going through a reproduction cycle, which sort of activated Ben's maternal instincts while being human. Then in Omniverse, Swampfire's "blooming" process gave Ben some weird deformities.
@@suitc4se557 actually ultimate big chill still freezes things
@@satriosukarji1777 oh yeah i remember dat i like how after the blooming is done the seed looking skin of the head is gone
I hope I’m not the only person who thought “Man Of Action” was a person when they were younger.

YOU ARENT THE ONLY ONE.
i too thought it was just a cool made up authors name for a singular person, only later in life did i learn it was a studio, and it was mainly 4 people.
Yeah, I think I thought it was a cool pseudonym or something.
You were not, don't worry

Amazing to see so many UA-camrs talking about Ben 10 lately! 2021 is definitely a great year for the fans!
I figured I'd be seeing you in here eventually.
It's weird I just recently found your breakdown videos and honestly they make me wanna watch Ben 10 again
So happy to see you here!
Hey how the retrospectives going?
Yeah, seems ben 10 is finally getting it's time in the nostalgia spotlight.
I look forward to the eventual nostalgic pandering, like what gen x got with transformers, or he-man.
Can we talk about how this show was.. low key horrifying sometimes. Like the entire mummy episode and the reveal of what ghost freak actually was were genuinely scary
What was he? I forget
@@WraithLK Ghost freaks original mind was trapped within the watch, so he kept trying to either possess Ben or escape, dude was insane from his time in the watch
that was the best part
@@LainVics IIRC Ghostfreak's species has their consciousness contained within every bit of DNA they have, so the sample taken contains the mind of Zs'Skayr.
@@demonicloaf2100 Just a Facinating concept to play with
"Gwen is definitely smarter than Ben. Like, that's never in question." Savage, bro.
But Ben is more resourceful, and can adapt to situations.
Gwen smart but Ben is smort
@@giahuynguyenkim6389 high wisdom low intelligence.
Gwen is an unlikable brat.
Ben low-key has a lot of genius potential with his perfect photographic memory.
Anyone used to wish an omnitrix would drop down from the sky in front of their house as a kid?
I have had hyper realistic dreams that I had one, they are awesome.
@@Cerebrum123 lmao "hyper-realistic"
I would slap on my watch and pretend to transform so much as a kid lol
@@spinceiling7442 some smart watches have a omnitrix app. Once you open it you can turn your bezel to swap between the aliens and everything. Sadly You can't slam your hand down on it to make the transformation noise and you have to just tap the screen.
"Used to"? Man I'm still waiting and will be waiting till the day I die
Classic Ben 10 is pure hype. It's family friendly enough, but at the same time wasn't scared of being bizarre and violent. It never underestimated the audience.
show was legitimately creepy at times. had the aesthetic sense of a horror movie at times (with the greenish look to a lot of the backgrounds and desaturated colors, and the honestly creepy and ugly aliens) and it helped it stand out. sometimes it even reminded me of some of those ugly-ass 90s Nickelodeon shows, but obviously more superhero-y and actiony. its even more apparent with some of the creepy-gross concept art. that creepy look was eventually dropped it in the sequel shows, which is feel is a bit of a shame. I feel like omniverse brought it back a tiny bit (at least comparatively to alien force and ultimate alien(, but it was obviously not the same.
@Rodz Productions
A lot of the shows from the early 2000s were like that, It's awesome.
Ah, I remember Zombozo.
the hivemind episodes with the mushroom people gave me nightmares bruhhhh
When Ghost Freak escaped the Omnitrix he was a legit terrifying villain
Yeah indeed i remember and Bro how tf did i watched this as a kid and thought was cool how did i slept my nights after witnessing that horror of a villain and i say horror as he was terrifying not because he was a bad villain no Ghostfreak was cool
Glad to see someone appreciating how much of a goddamn angel Grandpa Max is!! Even as a kid i always got annoyed at all the jokes of ben and gwen thinking he was lame when he's clearly the best character in the show!!!
Underappreciated just like Misato in Evangelion.
Ben 10 SLAPS 🔥
God rowlet
SATOSHI GECKKOGA!!
I am Subscribed to You.
Oh heck Yeah even pokemon fans are on the Ben 10 hype train
Sup Zac Love your vids
Tbh when people talk about 2000s cartoons that are slightly anime inspired they always talk about Avatar or Teen Titans but why don’t nobody mention Ben 10, it’s extremely underrated
Edit: yeah ben 10 has a nice blend of inspiration between comics and anime
Ben 10 was so good!
Slightly, Teen Titans practically kicked off the trend of "pseudo-anime" shows, and Avatar wore its anime influence on its sleeves. Ben 10 on the other hand did not.
Ben 10 and Naruto are always linked to me because they came on CN the same time and I loved them so much, but now looking back tell me that they aren't basically the same thing, Ben 10 is literally a shonen anime.
@@DaDualityofMan Plus at some point, it was just both of them on Toonami I think.
@@sirmel11 I think Ben 10 was on Miguzi, you know the more kid-friendly version of Toonami that had like Totally Spies and Code Lyoko and stuff, I think Alien Force was on Toonami though right before it originally died.
Oh god THAT's Grandpa Max's voice? When I was a kid I only watched this show in my native language and now that I've seen this video I only hear Col. Campbell.
Yeah, it's the same voice actor who did Campbell actually! He did both characters. Same thing with Ditto - everytime I hear him, I always hear Yakko from Animaniacs.
I almost wonder, looking back, if some of grandpa's jokes with the secret organization were kind of a reference to him having voiced Campbell in Metal Gear. I should really rewatch this series tbh.
I love how you mentioned how Ben often has to get clever to win. I feel that’s overlooked more often than not, but it’s my favorite aspect about the character!
I always love the sequences where Ben can’t transform and he has to rely on his own wits. Moments like that make him truly feel like a hero, showing that he doesn’t always need the omnitrix to save the day! This is a kid who was able to defeat a giant mutant hamster by just running around a supermarket on a scooter, for crying out loud!
I remember Cannonbolt showing up, and it just rocked my little kid world that Ben TEN has Eleven aliens now.
Then there was the one afterwards with the plant alien form. Sorry that fight he and Gwen were having in front to f the twin kids was kind of funny
Wildvine
@@sarahtelles1931 that episode is the one my brain always goes to when i think of this show
not as much as when Alien X first showed up and set a definitive power ceiling for the series
That was truly shocking. I was like "they gotta change the name" lol
I remember legitimately being freaked out when Ghostfreak turned evil and I like the arc where Ghostfreak comes back and Ben fights the monster movie aliens
@Nathan Pinell omg same it was so scray
I freaking loved ghostfreak. I thought he was an awesome villain.
@@lordvonsteiner2452 yeah he would have potential like say something like the Devil Hulk in the Immortal Hulk comics
I legitimately was really upset about ghostfreak going evil because he was actually my favorite alien from the original 10 so it sucked seeing him go evil and then never used like I loved that episode with the evil clown and ghostfreak going brutal on him
He doesn't just unlock them either, he friggin' scrapped their DNA on the watch and ADDED them to the Watch.
Whatever DNA was in that watch prior, it's implied those 3 were not among hem.
Then he never uses the forms again despite arguably being some of the coolest forms.
"Ben 10 is a classic."
In other news, water is wet.
More at eleven.
Not Kevin E. Levin, but he is around the place.
Water isn't wet it causes things to be wet. But I get that ya mean

@@johncampbell9448 no but it isn’t wet.
@@thejoabear So it’s dry?
20:22 there was an episode in Omniverse where Max points this out and kinda snaps at Ben. Like you mentioned, Grandpa Max is usually pretty chill and patient. He gets pushed to his limit sometimes but mostly stays calm. But in the Omniverse episode he’s finally like “after ALL these years you STILL can’t grow up and learn” and so on.
Fun fact: Ben Ten isn't named because the main character Ben originally had ten different powers, but because the showrunners could see the future and knew that Ben would be ten different shows.
No

Y'all are forgetting the legend that is Ben 23
Ben 10 talk, yes, my people, I better watch these on time!
[ultimate spoilers I guess]
I love how the concept of the Omnitrix itself matured with its audience, we were introduced as it being only a weapon of universal destruction but by the end of the series it’s retconned to be a device with the purpose of preserving (and to an extent restoring) life, there are a lot of flaws in the series execution but storytelling, lore and worldbuilding are indeed some of its greatest strengths
Hmmm maybe lore, but storytelling and worldbuilding are debatable
Honestly, ben's character always seems to be fundamentally mishandled. lots of shows regress into thinking ben is supposed to be cocky, that we like him best when he's arrogant. in reality, the viewers like him best when he's growing as a person.
Or at the very least don't give him amnesia between episodes. Like, okay if you want him to be a prick right up to the very end, then *let* him be a prick constantly. Don't revert him back into pricks after he grew up in the last episode.
It’s not really the fault of the writers, Cartoon Network made them make Ben more like what they perceived his 10-year-old self was like. It backfired then 3 times in a row.
@@bobismad1362 in case it wasnt clear, this was because og ben 10 had the best ratings and they just assumed that it was because ben was a dick
Nah, I like him when he is being a dumb fuck, eating chili fries, drinking smoothies and thinking he is the greatest hero in the universe. It doesn't stop him from being a hero, he is just being a kid overwhelmed with crazy magic watch.
@@oldmanlogan9616. Scientific watch. And your right, I like Ben when he is acting arrogant or (like a 10 year old kid).
Side note: here the latin gang got a few different alien names from the english dub but XLR-8 stayed the same, and 10yo me never got the "accelerate" pun until waaaaay later than I like to admit
Same, like at that time I didn’t understand English puns even though I also knew English.
So XLR8 was... well as “EquixEleHerreOcho” and I never knew all of that meant as “Accelerate” when I was 10
I wonder if the localizers didn't get the pun either so they just left it as is.
Heatblast is the lamest one by a long shot, it's Fuego. Literally just the word for fire
@@RadikAlice Also there's Wildmutt, which is just "Bestia"
Y’all bringing so many childhood memories back of me watching the spanish dub-I forgot the difference in names from the two. Yes, “Fuego” was so lame, and I don’t get why we went with that translation. Are there any more? It’s been so long since I’ve seen the Spanish dub, I’ve just been watching clips in English
Honestly I really want you to do Code Lyoko an underrated gem of a series from my childhood.
I loved Code Lyoko as a kid! It was such a unique story for me as a kid.
Good, but they have massive foreheads which piss me off.
Mate when netflix put it back i had no clue why it had stuff that showed that i watched it i have no idea that i watched it but memories rushed in like i was high on fumes
God man you just saved me. You are my hero. I can't even describe how you helped me. I have been looking for this cartoon for about 10 years and everything was in vain. I finally found it. just by chance lol. I have never so freed myself from the shackles of eternal sadness and despondency. I never felt that I was happy before. I don't exaggerate. This cartoon is really unique and criminally underrated. Yet dark and mature for the kids show. This show is the most dear to my heart that there is. It was such a painful and long parting. Now I will continue to hold it in my heart forever.
@@azrael_morningstar yeah they have vegeta heads
As someone about to finish my senior year in college studying animation, I can say this series is absolutely my biggest childhood inspiration. The action and designs were something I had honestly never seen before, and the next best thing was Generator Rex. I really do need to go rewatch it when I actually have free time again (yay finals)
This show is one of the best and is most of our childhoods.
Yes
I agree. I feel like most cartoons today should try and be more like og ben 10
It is the best and most
Ben 10 is all time classic

BEN 10!
@Luuk_ T0rnadoes it looked cool but I didn’t think it was that interesting
I think that the episode with Grandpa getting hurt, the ghostfreak episode and Ben going through a funk really stuck with me along with the first movie. It was pretty upsetting to see how upset Ben was, he usually doesn't break the facade.
“Vilgax is 9 ft tall…? Well this guy is 11 feet tall!”
That 5'11 to 6 ft joke hit hard.
If you owned one of the toy omnitrixes they sold for this show at the time, you just knew every other kid thought you were badass. Ben 10 rules

@@billiam Do "Johnny Nero Action Hero: ICE/Play Mechanix's Weird Arcade Light Gun Shooter from 2004 | Billiam" video.
also i love how the reason omnitrix was invented was to make peace between all the alien races in the universe. it was supposed to help different aliens understand and empathize with each other by turning into one another and experience things from their perspective
It is now abundantly clear to me that all it takes for me to be obsessed with a show is to have half the characters be voiced by Steve Blum.
Billiam confirming he'll cover the other shows and movies was the news that I needed today tbh. Ben 10 was my favourite show when I was younger and I was so happy to revisit it here!
I'm glad he's covering what he's not seen yet.
In Ben 10 Ultimate Alien it actually does explain why Ben acts so arrogant when he was younger, It's because he scared of having so much pressure on him so he treats the situation like a joke. And I do think that makes sense considering the fact that he's 10 years old.
Was 10.
An in-universe explanation doesn't negate the fact that it's frustrating for a viewer when plot-points are recycled
Didn't he go back to being a cocky shit in ultimate alien? Stopped watching around that time, but I remember the hero thing going straight to his head
@@BeholdTheToonGuy Thats not great writing in his character here. i think he gets again less shitty after that. And kevin becomes the anti villain.
As the original, he is a kid, i would give him flag there, it makes himm more human really. And entertaining. An having character developement.
@@BeholdTheToonGuy Dude. Ultimate alien was so annoying when Ben regressed im character development. I really liked omniverse because of ultimate alien mess up
I’m really enjoying seeing the kids who watched TV in the early 2000s start making video essays on what we watched
Ben 10 came out at the perfect time for me too, as I was around 11 in 2005, the transformations and stories were pretty cool, coming from the late Dwayne McDuffie, a seasoned comic book and TV writer responsible for several episodes of the Justice League animated series and the original Teen Titans and having co-created Static Shock. I mean, my online monicker is even a tribute to Ben 10 itself, I've been carrying the name for years name.
I hope you do a video on alien force too, I watched that one so much
Yess!
@@JazzStation95 He actually sound so different to me with his upbeat voice. I did not even realize it was sasuke until Ben yelled in one episode lol. "I know that yell"
I actually liked that one, it was nice having characters that weren’t annoying in every single episode. And the aliens were cooler.
@@JazzStation95 what!?
@@astrowolvez i like alien force a lot more and I agree that the aliens are cooler but less practical which makes me like the OG aliens a lot more
When grandpa turned into a slug was horrible the first time I saw it
Check my Ben 10 let's plays
I think the writers knew that Ben wasn’t actually LEARNING in the original so they made him much more mature in alien force
You know, I always liked the subplot of Gwen and her magic. And the SludgePuppies
I am a simple human.
I see ben10, I click at the speed of sound.

Yo same
Seconded.

Yeah this and Danny phantom was my fav as a kid and then my teens years Bleach mostly lol😅
I heard that they wanted to make Ben and Gwen just friends for the series just in case they decided to build up an eventual love interest for Ben but they scrapped that idea because they couldn´t come up with a good enough reason as to why an unrelated friend from school would travel in a family trip with Ben and grandpa Max. Specially after considering that they were supposed to not get along well.
It would seem a bit weird at times
*Giboit*. People even like to "ship" them, you know, despite them being cousins😒
You could just say they've known each other since grade sc-
Wait, Ben is literally 10.
Lemme rephrase. They've known each other since like kindergarten, but as they get into pre-teen years, they think their friendship was just a shallow immature thing so they grow apart as friends, but by then the parents (or I guess Grandpa) already know each other from the kids having hung out all the time and they can see that growing distance, so Grandpa elects to see if that roadtrip can mend that friendship while Ben's friend's parents make up some BS excuse to ship the kid off on the trip.
I'm just spitballing ideas here, but there are ways to make that work. Hell, Hey Arnold never needed a real reason why those equally young kids just wandered an entire city with zero problem all the time and it was ironically one of the most grounded cartoons ever made.
Honestly I like them being cousins better like idk I think having them as just friends and growing into lovers is overdone and I’d much rather see the growth of a familial relationship rather than a love one. Their relationship reminded me of the one I have with my own siblings/cousins, which makes it feel more genuine and relatable.
@@mwizachihana9551 Why not? its free real estate.
Honestly, Ben 10 is one of those shows I can watch now even as a young adult. Even as a kids show, it is surprisingly mature at some points. Kevin Levin's first episode, Season 1 finale, and the Ghostfreak episode stand out to me the most and it's so nice to see how much Alien Force grows from this beginning.
I love how the movie hints that Ben's dad is also aware of what he is. "You'd be surprised at what I know"
Ben’s grandpa loves him some aliens if you know what I mean
I know what you mean
Max got some game!
YES SIR
Yeah two alien chicks when most guys don't even get one human chick. (If you don't remember Ben and Gwen's grandmom is a purple ailen with pink light hair.)
Yes he does 😂
rewatching this series I forgot how goofy it could be at times, there was that episode where they went to christmas town and a guy was trying to make max into santa whilst ben and gwen slowely turned into elves, or the time ben thought he broke gwens laptop so he enters a mutant wrestling contest as four arms which was just such a weird episode
I thought this was a fever dream I had
@@dbrothershow there was also that time they did an isekai and got sucked into a sumo slammers game, or the time a bunch of people stole the rustbucket to blow up a highway so they could rob people, show was goofy as hell but in all the fun ways
I remember that elf episode. So strange.
“To sell to the Organization.”
What is this, Kingdom Hearts?
It always irked me how the Forever knights were called the organization for some reason lol, it would be like if Disney changed their name to “the corporation” or “the company”
"Aliens...are...ETERRRRRRRRRRNALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL."
Kids in Ghana freaking loved this show.
Everytime I hear Man of action isn't just actually one guy, it always consistently surprises me
Ben witnesses something falling from space. IT’S AN INCREDIBLY MARKETABLE TOY. Ben can turn into 10 action fig- I mean monsters with it.
When I was older watching this show I started to appreciate that the watch knew better then Ben until he was older and knew certain aliens would work better in situations and that’s pretty cool
It's amazing that they took that show and turned it into all the world building in the sequel shows. The Ben 10 universe is expansive and amazing just in terms of the universe that was built around this simple premise. I genuinely love the shows and remember them all fondly. I gladly rewatch them randomly.
My cousins and I weren’t always nice to each other. My cousins kinda bossed me around when I was younger, so Ben and Gwen’s dynamic is kind of relatable.
Yeah. I like how they get along better in the 2016 version. Its heartwarming in a way.

Most certainly. A cousin of mine and I treated each other exactly how Ben and Gwen treated each other.
@@rpsyco You can tell they still love each other that's life.
I always loved watching the first episode of Alien Force just to see how much love Ben and Gwen now show towards each other because they've grown up
The aliens on this show were really well designed. Stinkfly, Greymatter, and Wildmutt were my personal favorites, and no one else seemed to love em as much as I did. I was bit older when the show came out but it had that anime action that I was a fan of. So it managed to capture my attention despite not being in the target demographic. I remember geeking out about the newer aliens as they came out with my younger cousins. I think that's why I loved it, it allowed me to bond with them.
As someone who loved ben 10 as a kid and currently rewatching it,it stands up very well. Great action,captivating art style and textbook work building. Honestly as a action cartoon it does way more then it needs too.
Finally you're talking about this classic.
I like how there is a “What-If” ending to the original Ben 10. I get the feeling it was planned to be an ending, kinda alluded to in the Ben 10,000 episode in regards to Vilgax. Also I wouldn’t mind seeing a Gwen 10 series tbh if it was more based on the original series then the reboot.
I’m 90% certain that wasn’t Intended to be a white if until alien force that episode ends with Ben’s parents finding out about the Omni tricks but an alien force their none the wiser at least until halfway through the season. If it wasn’t for the parents not knowing about the Omni tricks in alien force this episode would fit perfectly within canon, as for Mel galaxies survived much worse like at the beginning of the series.
7:48 I mean it's revealed later that technically he gets the _right_ hero, he just didn't realize it. The Omnitrix was like the TARDIS in that sense, whenever the TARDIS took The Doctor to a time and/or place he didn't intend to go, it's because she knew he had to be there.
Well the creator also tells him it’s because he slaps the shit so hard it causes malfunctions.
@@jaysonisgreat Which creator? I bet you mean Wyatt, _never_ take what that moron says seriously. He claims to be a showrunner when he's not even a producer, let alone executive producer and his word has no bearing on anything but Omniverse to begin with...
@@mattwo7 he meant azmuth
@@gamingapocalypse7973 [citation needed]
I feel like that kinda goes without saying after a while. Like yeah it's annoying to Ben but we know they wanna do something else with a form we didn't think about and it turns out that was the better solution.
Basically saying the Omnitrix is sentient enough to know exactly what he needs at the time and the silhouette is more a facade of choice or to just show WHAT he can turn into if it so chooses.
I can’t understate how great Ben 10 was, I wish I had finished the series
"all of this police presence. all for what, to protect corporate prof- oh yeah that makes sense" bruuuuuh im dying lmao
Looking back Ben 10 felt like a unofficial DC animated universe show
I thought Man of Action was one guy up until I saw this video. I am 24. I remember watching the premier of Ben 10. I watched up until the reboot. I loved the sequel series and how Kevin joins them as a good guy.
One thing about Ben ten was the aliens. Most aliens are too OP if u ask me like martins and stuff, but Ben gave all aliens clear purpose plus some aliens were the sources of myths, like the werewolf or the whole thing of Gwen being a witch alien thing, and all aliens looked really unique and cool
Every time I hear Grandpa's voice all I hear is "Snake... SnAkE? SNaaAAaaAaAAAke??!!"
For me it's the inverse; I can't listen to the Colonel without hearing Max.
Especially at 12:00 it sounds like he’s talking about the lalilulelo or something lmao
I mean it's the same VA (Paul Eiding), so you're not wrong.
Every time I play Spiderman, I think that Peter's gonna say " It's hero time!"
Ben 10 is a classic. My youngest brother and niece are fans. It's so much easier now to share shows you grew up on with family.
I actually loved ben & gwen's relationship in the original show. it was a lot like my brother and I. We were always at eachother's throath but we also had our moments
Can't wait to see you getting to the Ben 10 Omniverse. Man, a lot of people went harsh on this show because of the artstyle and some tone shift, but i hope you'll find all the positive moments it has.
The people who hate the show hasn’t even finished or didn’t pay attention lol
The OG Ben 10 was the Bees Knees. I remember wanting the Omitrix so much when I tune in to watch.
Billiam: Ben 10 is a classic.
Me: Can’t argue with you there.
Man this show was my childhood.... So cool seeing people talk about this show.
Grandpa: "He's an alien. Not a monster."
Fans: "What's the difference?"
Insert Patrick Star voice also.

@@Exquisite_Poupon give me link
A Ben 10 video! Awesome! A Generator Rex video next is a must, surely, being Man of Action and all. The world-building, character development, and animation were all fantastic! Not to mention the major Ben 10 crossover that came with it. I dare say, it was even better than Ben 10
One of the greatest shows ever. I revisited every series, except the reboot. Even Ben 10 Omniverse was pretty good. The inconsistence with Kevin's history was abysmal.
Lemme help you understand since most of the fandom doesn’t even pay attention.
You can chalk it up to either Servantis lying or Alien X with the ladder just being a theory.
Servantis lying:
1. The Rooters had to torture and ask the Plumbers for Kevin’s location, if they don’t know where he lives he doesn’t know about Kevin’s mom and Harvey Hackett who know about Devin and the plumbers not to mention there are pictures laying in their house
2. If Devin didn’t exist Ragnorok would’ve washed Max and the sun would’ve been taken, no sun no later events
3. Aggregor literally brought up Osmos 5 a lot and even laid down some facts about Osmosains
4. Aggregor even told his robots to go to Osmos 5 and you can’t go to a place that doesn’t exist right.
5. The word Omosains has been thrown around a lot by people like Rad or Inspector 13
So yh he’s lying as he’s been shown to lie and manipulate to get what he wants
Alien X:
Like I said it’s just a theory but you know how Ben made an exact duplicate and got somethings wrong. Maybe he altered Kevin’s history a lil bit and that there aren’t really Osmosians🤷🏾♂️
I love how everyone is talking about Ben 10 these days it makes me feel less lonely
Please do Generator Rex when you get a chance!
That show is waaayyy to underrated!
It was awsome.
@@oldmanlogan9616 Right?! I remember watching it all the time on TV when it was on!
I know right especially the Ben 10 generator rex crossover
@@catsareamazing3616 Yes!
The crossover was amazing!
Yeah I loved that show.
I'm glad this series is getting more attention it deserves it honestly.
Back in 2019 is when I was introduced to the series by my boyfriend and before that I was pretty meh about the show and didn't think much about it before. However threw a contest of creating your own alien design for a fan webcomic series called 5 years later, it helped me to slowly get into the series. With that first 2 episodes I was hooked on it, and the days where me me and BF Alex would binge threw the whole series all the way up to Ben 10 omniverse.
We had many happy memories watching it together and many dumb inside jokes we would make as well. It was a cartoon that I needed back then something to escape to when life got a bit too much at times.
What do mean? They never stopped making it. There is always a new version and it's iconic. Ben 10 is far from underrated.
@@icecreamhero2375 I guess people think it should be talked about more. Avatar is always talked about.
I think it's just because Ben 10 isn't fully plot.
@@sirmel11 Now that you mention it I guess that's true.
@@icecreamhero2375 Oh my bad I should of mention that yeah I will eventually watch the reboot. I heard season 2 gets better over time from what I heard. Though Ben 10 does get talked about but now, its getting even more attention than ever before first Avatar got popular again because it being on Netfilx, now Ben 10 is getting that same treatment.
@@mc.gemstone The original is the best. The reboot is ok. It feels exactly how I remember it but watered down and not quite as good. At least it's not the Powerpuff reboot that's as low as you can go.
This was my childhood. I remember watching the first episode when I was 6. I can’t tell you how many toys I had from the Ben 10 franchise.
One of the best things about the reboot, that I will always love, is how it gets the family dynamic between Ben, Gwen, and GMax even, right.
Exactly. They're the main characters so their personalities and dynamic carry the entire show. It's why the OG series failed to get me engaged, but the reboot did.
When I first saw Ben 10 as a little kid, it made me count the days until I became 10.
"Ben 10 is a Classic (but ben's a little jerk who never learns)"
"Infinitely patient"
Unless a Mayan Sword is involved.
Excellent video!
Does anyone else think that the art style and animation for the original was the best in the series?
Since this channel has talked about digimon and now it’s talking about Ben 10 here’s a little fun fact: in Kevin’s first appearance he’s voiced by Matt and takuya himself Michael Reisz. Don’t know why he left afterwards but whatever also am I the only one who thinks of flamedramon when I hear Steve blum’s voice coming out of heat blasts mouth
Btw he talked also about Scooby Doo all shows. I am not sure about movies though
I only hear BlackWarGreymon when I hear Steve Blum.
Steve Blum has so much variety I can’t tell who I’m hearing with him I just find it ironic that in digimon he voices a character with flame powers and does the same thing in Ben 10
@@Vathananable He finished all of them?
@@sirmel11 cartoons yes.Not sure about movies.
When I was a kid I thought Man Of Action was an actual person and I was too afraid to ask who he was cause I thought people would be like “YOU DONT KNOW WHO HE IS?!”
My fav episode of this series is the "what if" type episode where gewn gets the watch,then later on grandpa.but for unknown reasons,ben still retains memories from when he had the watch
I forget how that episode ends, but I imagine it's some sorta dream sequence.
That or someone screwing with his mind.
@@UltimaKeyMaster To me,it's like marvel's "what if" comics,which are my fav of all time
@@UltimaKeyMaster It could be a dream ben had when the forever knights kidnapped ben and use a machine to influence his dreams...
Man Ben 10 was the shit as a kid. I made it my life goal to collect all the alien action figures and I even had a toy Omnitrix as a kid too. Looking back on the show tho I can definitely see what you mean by Ben not really growing as a character at all between episodes. That was probably it's biggest flaw with being a weekly TV series since those types of shows rarely ever stay consistent.
What's with Billiam going over every single aspect of my childhood?
He just glosses over Upchuck and Eye-Guy lol. Also cant wait until he talks about Ben 10 Destroy All Aliens
"Doing all the Scooby Doos wasn't enough, I gotta do all the Ben 10s."
Billiam pace yourself.
To be fair, Ben 10 has infinitely less ground to cover with actual tone shifts, time skips and actual character development.
...Now the reboot, that's where you get into Scrappy territory.
“I will be Ben 10.”
Is Billiam a Ben 10 villain now?
I feel so betrayed he made no mention of the glorious forever knights
They were called the organization when he mentioned them for some reason
I guess it's like Kingdom Hearts 2 where they didn't quite have a full name yet when they were first introduced.
Same base name, ironically.
Infinity knights
i had secret of the omnitrix on dvd and you could choose what alien ben turns into in one of the fights, that blew my mind when I was younger
Same
Hey, are you gonna watch the sequel series? The first two seasons of AF are really cool since for the first time Ben isn’t a jerk at all whatsoever. He eventually regresses back to a jerk but they provided an actual explanation in Ultimate Alien.
17:20 “This ending was such a blast.” Proceeds to show Heatblast.
