9:28 I love that she called him Heatblast. It shows that Ben's hero names aren't just known by Ben's friends and family, but are actual codenames, just like any other superhero.
20:59 this used to scare the heck out of me as a kid. But for real completely agree with you here man, both of the live action films where great movies to me especially as a kid
11:07 okay I’m so glad we talk about this. This movie’s version of Ben’s parents is my favorite because their passive, hands-off parenting totally explains why Ben can be selfish, stubborn, or bratty, considering they might just let him get away with Everything and always get his way. So when Max imparts actually lessons in maturity to Ben, he sometimes lashes out, but ultimately learns from Max.
That's something also addressed in the "little moments" fanfic (yes really) where Ben's parents are pretty lenient carl is a labour worker and Gwen's parents are controlling and manipulative it honestly just gives the original series so much appreciation and context than actual cannon.
@@PauloSM-rs5hq But Idk, That doesn't quite address a lot of times where, unless the threats just weren't present, Ben 23 would've died or at least lost. Granted, I can't remember if they said specifically WHEN Max died.
He mentioned the Omnitrix's exact ten minute time limit, but my personal belief is that it's like how -40 degrees C is the same as -40 degrees F, where the original time limit simply happens to perfectly line up to a common interval of earth time, and on pretty much any other planet it would be some annoying decimal like 3.46223546645 (insert alien unit of time)
@@doctor4961 it wasn't for max directly. Xylene just couldn't keep it safe from Vilgax and was close to earth (probably as a scenic route to max) so she sent it to him out of desperation.
If we assume Verdona did some parenting before leaving to space, it kind of makes sense that Carl would turn into this chill, free spirit type of parent. At the same time, it makes sense why Gwen's dad would be completely opposite of that if he had a worse relationship with her than Ben's dad did.
I think that Eon couldn't use his time powers directly on Ben because of an effect similar to the sotobro effect. Ben and Eon were linked at one point in time causing Ben to have some level of understanding of what happens when time is manipulated keeping him from slowing down or freezing entirely.
@@infamousplayer8772 clockwork has time powers but eon also has time powers so it'd just be getting nowhere. But eon also has mastered his abilities so he could probably beat clockwork.

That scene with Ben having to bike away from a moving car stuck with me for my entire life. Every time I rode a bike for years I was paranoid there was a car ready to run me down, and whenever there was a car, I was absolutely horrified. What an effective scene, it really plays into childhood fears.
Speaking of Eon heres my opinion of every version of Eon in Ben 10 : 1.) Race agains time Eon:" Scary Eon" 2.) UAF Eon:"Menacing Eon" 3.) OV Eon:"Lame Eon" 4.) 5yl Eon:"𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗧 𝗘𝗢𝗡"

@@KhanhNguyen-mh5ec Not precisely, because both races were banished for misusing their power. While the TVA keep order, consistency and continuity in the timeline, they literally prevent chaos theory, enthuses on "chaos".
@@burner555Unclear, there’s also a chance they did it to themselves by accident or someone from their side tried to stop them from going too far, like how Atlantis sank and when Doctor Who stopped the Time War respectively.
This movie used to scare me, the though of Ben’s powers being used against him to turn him into another being, essential killing his conscience, was very unsettling.
13:25 I like the Ultimate Alien Verison of his minions being alternate Ben's, Yeah you can say that makes Ben look weak in alternate timelines but alternate Ben's doesn't need to be as powerful as Ben Prime, That also makes Eon very legit and goes to show you how intimidating and badass he is the fact that he was able to capture alternate Ben's that makes his character very solid and believable.
@@nra3zehuti781 most is a bit of a stretch in my opinion, but it definetly handles somethings better like Alien X and exploring more some under utilized aliens
Imo it's not amazing just enjoyable and fun. It's like how some things as a kid were god tier while growing up but then when you revisit them you realize it's okay
You could argue that another reason why it isn’t canon is because Ben turning into Eon breaks the rule that he transforms into that species equivalent of a 10 year old. Unless that’s what a 10 year old chronian looks like
You could also argue that since Eon overridden the Omnitrix's failsafes he just turned Ben into a clone of himself rather than Ben's equivalent of a Chronian.
It’s funny, I initially thought Eon was an alternate version of Ben well before that’s what he was retconned to be. I thought he was a future version of Ben who went back in time to ensure his existence by causing it, but failed.
In *Clock Tower, Eon* said *“This place is already dying for me, remembrance fading, stolen away”,* I always felt that was a hint that Eon was a version of Ben. He even claims to know the Omnitrix very intimately.
@@skibot9974 Ben messes with time too much. Heck the whole universe started as it did because of him being there. So, that caused Eon and the whole chronion stuff to come to be.
@@skibot9974 I wouldn't be surprised if he has his own retcon and suddenly discovered that actually Max was somehow half chronian and with the time traveling shenanigans he started to lose his ties to earth and became sort of a chronian savior
I thought the prototype Omnitrix having a 10 minute limit was an intentional design of Azmuth's, to ensure that the wielder of the Omnitrix does not abandon their identity as a member of their original species. For example, preventing what happened to 11-year-old Ben with Feedback in Omniverse.
@@morganrussman Well Azmuth put that feature in before knowing who would wield the Omnitrix, so if I had to presume, he might have removed that feature after knowing Ben for so long, and knowing Ben wouldn't make that mistake again?
Crazy to think that Graham Phillips is the actor that plays Harry Osborn in Insomniacs Spider-Man 2, and Yuri Lowenthal is Peter’s voice actor and teen Ben’s voice actor. So both of these actors have portrayed Ben in one way or another and they were both in Spider-Man 2.
Coming back to this breakdown, Graham Phillips (live action Ben in this film) plays Harry Osborn in the Spider-Man 2 game and Yuri Lowenthal (voice of teenage Ben) plays Peter Parker in the game. So in Spider-Man 2, it’s like young Ben and teenage Ben talking to each other through the game lol
Yesss... Upgrade could have been the easiest to make into live-action. All that had to happen was that he had to be shiny, I'm sure that would have been easier than Wildmutt
Race against time is the kind of movie that i dont want to rewatch because i just remember it being better as a kid. Like how i was blown away with the alien’s CGI as a kid but now it looks dated. I still think it was entertaining since i rewatched like 5 times as a kid.
I like the idea that Ben relies on Max to be disciplinarian. Someone to keep Ben on the straight and narrow. I can totally see how with this interpretation of Ben's parent's, a Max-less Ben would eventually become Ben 23.
Okay I could have sworn Cannonbolt was in this... Like I have vivid memories of Cannonbolt dodging Eons timeblasts and taking out all the henchman in one roll to save the plumbers...
I think a lot of people simply use objective examples of critique to justify the emotional reactions they already have and demean the views of others, especially with the reboot. At the same time, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with enjoying finding flaws in movies or shows.

22:50 Still love the implication that messing with the Hands of Armageddon just caused that river to form millions of years ago, and it wasn’t some massive destructive force at all
This movie is a perfect example of idea vs execution. The story seems so cool on paper, but how it was executed, does'nt really make it exciting, although Principal White is the best part in the movie
I'm surprised you didn't harp on how ben literally tried to MURDER eon and his minions. He didn't know if they were fire resistant or normal humans and he just went full supernova
Eh, throughout this review series, he has commented on how Ben doesn’t really have a problem with trying to kill some of his enemies, atleast in the OG series
If you think about it, maybe this is why Eon always has different henchmen. I think after the aliens were killed in the movie, he started kidnapping Bens from other dimensions. And after they were returned home, he built the robots to replace them.
I’ve got very fond memories of Race Against Time, enough that whenever Eon came back I was always so excited. Heck, I mean you even made Eon the main villain in 5YL so you already know lmao. Will have fun watching this after work
I do wanna say I think I’m one of the few people who grew up and LOVED this movie to bits Whenever it played, I sat down and watched a lot of it, it was so fun to watch and just enjoy
Looking back people don't realize how accurate it is all the aliens are the first in the show. All the aliens are basically the first few in the show. Xlr8 doesn't count since he was basically not really part of the episode
@@brawmankerlexterminateurde860 the 4 aliens in this movie weren't a random thing. They were the first 4 aliens he turned into in the original series. Not in chronological order but. He did turn into heatblast , wildmut and diamondhead in the first episode of the original series and in the second episode he starts of the episode transformed into grey matter. They chose these aliens respectively to the original series. It only makes sense that the first 4 aliens of the original are in the first live action movie. Sorry if y'all don't care but I found that this is the one good thing about this movie
@@SeyeAwonuga I don't know, I think it's pretty interesting that you brought it up. Though had they wanted it more obvious, they could've had it be in chronological order, and had Ben Start out as heatblast, scare the kids as wildmutt, done the diamondhead gym scene, then had him fight Eon as XLR8, which I think actually would've been really cool since Eon can slow down time and such and XLR8 is real fast.
My theory is that Eon did that thing with the clock *solely* because he wanted to be dramatic If I was a time-travelling supervillain, I'd want to be dramatic
It's interesting seeing you talk about the voice actors for the aliens and comparing the characters with their animated versions because I live in Brazil and have only seen the dub version, where everyone has the same voice as in the cartoon.
In all honesty, i was scared of Race against time as a kid, no joke. But the CGI in my opinion was SO GOOD for 2007 standards, hell you could mistake heatblast's CGI for being a real pyronite
To be fair in ultimate alien when Eon shows up in the future to fight Ultimate Ben, Ben says “i beat you as a kid” and Eon says “THAT WASNT ME” so this Eon is most likely an alternate reality doppelgänger that is an alien instead of a Ben
As a kid, I loved this movie. I only saw it once, but I was hyped when I first did. My parents watched it with me too. Even when Eon showed up again in cannon I went "wait a sec that ain't what I remember, guess they changed that." I think making the final fight fourarms instead of wildmutt would have been better, even if I'm not the biggest fan of him and think he's a bit overrated, just because of him being one of the main two, heatblast being the other. Also I did notice a small mistake of what you remembered (unless I somehow remembered wrong) but they created the grand canyon when trying to destroy it, not just turn it off like you seemed to remember it as when the two cables turned it off. Though the same point could be made about when it actually does get destroyed so it's not a big deal, just thought I'd point it out though.
You perfectly summarized how I've been feeling when it comes to most reviews on UA-cam with the opening bit of this video. It just feels like you can't enjoy anything anymore because "this show/movie is the worst thing ever made" just gets thrown around so much to describe almost everything. It just gets old.
Yeah, it really gets old, and it takes away one's individuality at what your opinion is. For example, you can't enjoy this superhero movie because everywhere people saying that it sucks, and you might end up feeling bad or delusional of your judgment. And don't get me started on all the video essays that takes this "pseudo-intelectual" approach that some content makers do thinking they're so smart; I'm not talking about all of them, some video-essays from the subjects I love I really enjoy, but there's other ones that are simply pretentious and not in an entertaining way
@@brawmankerlexterminateurde860 basically the reason for cartoon network's reboots, many kids just wanted to see comedic and cool episodes and didnt care about plots and CN took notice of it.
Eon in 5YL is a Chronian in the story. He keeps body swapping with different Bens, doing so to such an extent that he intwinds himself with Ben's timeline, and even believes fire some time, that he was Ben.
kuro has said that they wont be giving ben any more human like aliens thats why he didnt get kryptonian, also chronians in 5yl are reality warpers so its kinda just to overpowered at a point for ben
Isn’t the point of like, every single alien in the series that they DON’T look human? Tbh I don’t think he should ever have an alien more humanoid than frankenstrike
It took me a while to get the "Plumbus est infinitus" on the plumbers' logo, i was like lead is infinite? that's a weird slogan to have, but then i remembered that pipes used to be made of lead and that they are plumbers so it i guess it makes some sense.
Theory: the Chronosapiens started out fighting the Chronians in the Time War, but ended up erasing them from history with a localized time weapon, which is why they became non-canon. This means Eon’s the last of his kind, hence the shift in his goals.
13:50 - I have theory that Chronians are just Humans from a timeline where humanity discovered how to manipulate time and that Eon is Ben from that timeline, and by using his connection to Ben he is able to override the Omnitrix's failsafes and turn Ben into a clone of himself for when he needs a new body.
I only just realized, although it might be unintentional, there's a parallel between the Omnitrix and the hands. The Omnitrix is a symbol and tool for peace, while the hands is a tool for destruction. In addition there's also the fact the Hands resembles the Omnitrix dial slightly.
I forgot the name of the Principal's actor but that dude is awesome! Makes me wish I saw his Doctor holograms make cameos in Star Trek. Heck, they could've made him a Plumber Medic to reference that Star Trek role. "What is the nature of the medical emergency?" is close enough to "State the nature of your medical emergency."
It’s really fun but it’s not a stand out legendary medium in the Ben 10 community, then again it’s not meant to be like that it’s meant to be fun and dumb and I personally think people might take it too seriously, unlike alien swarm which takes itself too seriously
In the Fantastic Four there's a council of Dooms, which is just Doctor Dooms from different universes the prime Doctor Doom has brainwashed to be his slaves. I could see Eon doing something like that to make his minions.
Well, this review made me reconsider how this movie is. Side Characters here are the best and i never noticed it. Specially the waitress gal. Definately agreed on the CGI being wonky at times, but i do like the Omnitrix effects. Cheesy but fun.
19:52 I don't know why but you saying George Washington forming the plumbers always cracks me up the way you say it so calmly even through I watched the episode so many times.
The only thing that annoyed me was the Diamondhead "fight". He was my favorite from the original 10-13 and was hoping for a little more. Like, seriously, STOP FIRING IN THE SAME SPOT, EON!
To be honest I really like the ultimate alien version of eon. The fact that eon is just Ben seems so kind of creepy to me. The fact that not all Ben's are heroes like ours and that there are some that are extremely dangerous. I also like your 5yl version so. As he's like an actual maniac. Anyways I prefer the Ben ten eon from ultimate alien.
I mean, in the AF episode ‘Grounded,’ it starts with Ben’s mom talking about how great her son is. She explains this is because she hasn’t stunted him and has let him grow as a person by granting him so much freedom, which kinda pairs with the “call us Susan and Carl, we’re all equals” from the movie. But other than that, I don’t see the hippie theme again either.
I'll be honest as a kid I enjoyed this movie It felt unique and fun And most importantly it was almost like a dream come true seeing a human turn into ben 10 aliens
I really do wish we got an episode in Omniverse that's a buddy adventure between Ben and Principal White. Maybe something happens in the school and the two have to team up.
When you mentioned Chapter 11 coming out “in a few months” I was like ‘oh damn, no longer TBA then??’ But nah I totally get it, making a comic is so much work and I applaud what you’ve done. 5YL is so cool, and I can’t wait for the next chapter. I’m also really excited for the motion comic, it looks dope from the trailers so far!
I feel that taking inspiration from 5 Years Later, Eon's henchmen could be all 3 incarnations being accurate as he uses all of them. Captured warriors from across time who were altered into monsters, alternate versions of Ben and robots. Also, the Grand Canyon thing with the Hands of Armageddon may imply that a blast of energy was sent back in time.
The one thing I do enjoy about this movie is the rock version of the theme song I heard some people say that they hate the original theme due to the singer sounding pretty bored. But they really like the rock version of the song what do you think?
Original singer sounding bored? I bet its them that are bored Cuz she did an amazing job and was hype almost like the singer from AOT who sing youseebiggirl ost
I fully agree with the opening statement. I see a lot of people insult movies for not being exactly like other movies. Especially when it comes to Spider-Man. I enjoyed the Raimi directed trilogy from 2002-2007, but I also really enjoy the MCU movies. Yet there are so many people who are overly critical and will explicitly express how they feel about someone’s intelligence for liking either one. On both sides. Yes, criticism is valid. If you don’t like a movie, that’s totally fine. But we need to learn to strike the balance of expressing what we like and don’t like, or if you don’t want to, you also don’t have to. Some people just like or don’t like things and like to leave it at that. I’m one of those people. In the end, just respect the opinions of others and just agree or disagree peacefully.
People hate on MCU fans coz most of them go out of there way to diss other franchises, while they have no idea about that particular franchise and even about marvel comics themselves. Any new movie no matter how poorly made gets praised to hell( like black widow). Obviously opinions exist but you can't blame people for being annoyed by these antics.
I agree completely! A lot of older movies, not really old movies like Will Wonka, but older films like this, Sam Raimi's films, get alot of hate, but really I think alot of newer films aren't too great, in my opinion, mainly because nowadays everything tries to be the next MCU.
The Maguire-only fans are WAYYY too toxic, like, Tobey is my favorite as well, but I like Tom and Andrew as well (except Far from Shit that movie was TERRIBLE for a spiderman film, but the problem wasn’t Holland, he did a good portrayal, the problem was the PLOT and the underwhelming use of Mysterio)
If you ask me, I think it's probably one of the little few live-action adaptations that have a respect for the source material. Even if it was set in a post-05 era of the series, you could still feel that it was Ben 10.
I like how right after you give props to the movie keeping crystals on Enon during the fight in the gym just for the digital crystals to magically disappear in the same shot 3 seconds later.😂😂
my theory on Eon's minions is that he started with brainwiped warriors from throughout space and time and after meeting Ben he decided that there was no greater warrior than him, so he began stealing Bens from across timelines and after being thwarted again he decided that the minions were no better than robots, no matter who they were before, so he decided to start stealing robots from across time instead of trained warriors or Bens because they proved to be easier to obtain and were just as effective

I think the time limit is also relative to the individual’s stamina/energy.
If we assume Verdona did some parenting before leaving to space, it kind of makes sense that Carl would turn into this chill, free spirit type of parent. At the same time, it makes sense why Gwen's dad would be completely opposite of that if he had a worse relationship with her than Ben's dad did.
I think that Eon couldn't use his time powers directly on Ben because of an effect similar to the sotobro effect.
Ben and Eon were linked at one point in time causing Ben to have some level of understanding of what happens when time is manipulated keeping him from slowing down or freezing entirely.

That scene with Ben having to bike away from a moving car stuck with me for my entire life. Every time I rode a bike for years I was paranoid there was a car ready to run me down, and whenever there was a car, I was absolutely horrified. What an effective scene, it really plays into childhood fears.
that's actually kind of sad
@404 TV Anyone can have irrational fears. It's not pathetic, just natural.
I mean fair, car drivers show little Care for bike riders and other people
Speaking of Eon heres my opinion of every version of Eon in Ben 10 :
1.) Race agains time Eon:" Scary Eon"
2.) UAF Eon:"Menacing Eon"
3.) OV Eon:"Lame Eon"
4.) 5yl Eon:"𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗧 𝗘𝗢𝗡"
As for Eon’s consciousness transferring into Ben, maybe Chronians are like Ectonurites that way, their DNA carries their consciousness too
They already explain, its because eon took out the time limiter of the omnitrix for his form.

It's really weird that of all Eons appearances, his origin in the cheap TV movie is his most menacing and we'll performed.
But certainly his weakest
This movie used to scare me, the though of Ben’s powers being used against him to turn him into another being, essential killing his conscience, was very unsettling.
13:25 I like the Ultimate Alien Verison of his minions being alternate Ben's, Yeah you can say that makes Ben look weak in alternate timelines but alternate Ben's doesn't need to be as powerful as Ben Prime, That also makes Eon very legit and goes to show you how intimidating and badass he is the fact that he was able to capture alternate Ben's that makes his character very solid and believable.

You could argue that another reason why it isn’t canon is because Ben turning into Eon breaks the rule that he transforms into that species equivalent of a 10 year old. Unless that’s what a 10 year old chronian looks like
You could also argue that since Eon overridden the Omnitrix's failsafes he just turned Ben into a clone of himself rather than Ben's equivalent of a Chronian.
It’s funny, I initially thought Eon was an alternate version of Ben well before that’s what he was retconned to be. I thought he was a future version of Ben who went back in time to ensure his existence by causing it, but failed.

But how do we explain the chronian thing

I thought the prototype Omnitrix having a 10 minute limit was an intentional design of Azmuth's, to ensure that the wielder of the Omnitrix does not abandon their identity as a member of their original species. For example, preventing what happened to 11-year-old Ben with Feedback in Omniverse.
With 11 year old Ben and feedback, what about Ben 10k?
@@morganrussman Well Azmuth put that feature in before knowing who would wield the Omnitrix, so if I had to presume, he might have removed that feature after knowing Ben for so long, and knowing Ben wouldn't make that mistake again?
@josephhelms2362 well, with master control, it is clarified that azmuth had an idea, but just never anticipated it would end up on ben instead of max.
Crazy to think that Graham Phillips is the actor that plays Harry Osborn in Insomniacs Spider-Man 2, and Yuri Lowenthal is Peter’s voice actor and teen Ben’s voice actor. So both of these actors have portrayed Ben in one way or another and they were both in Spider-Man 2.
That's so cool, d'you think the two of them discussed Ben 10 while recording for SM2?
Coming back to this breakdown, Graham Phillips (live action Ben in this film) plays Harry Osborn in the Spider-Man 2 game and Yuri Lowenthal (voice of teenage Ben) plays Peter Parker in the game. So in Spider-Man 2, it’s like young Ben and teenage Ben talking to each other through the game lol
The only thing I remember about this movie is that upgrade wasn’t in it and I was sad about that.
Yesss... Upgrade could have been the easiest to make into live-action. All that had to happen was that he had to be shiny, I'm sure that would have been easier than Wildmutt
Race against time is the kind of movie that i dont want to rewatch because i just remember it being better as a kid. Like how i was blown away with the alien’s CGI as a kid but now it looks dated. I still think it was entertaining since i rewatched like 5 times as a kid.
I like the idea that Ben relies on Max to be disciplinarian. Someone to keep Ben on the straight and narrow. I can totally see how with this interpretation of Ben's parent's, a Max-less Ben would eventually become Ben 23.
The "alien taking over Ben" thing might be referring to Ghostfreak and the Ultimatrix creating sentient DNA.

If you think about it, maybe this is why Eon always has different henchmen. I think after the aliens were killed in the movie, he started kidnapping Bens from other dimensions. And after they were returned home, he built the robots to replace them.
He also turned the henchmen into dust using Eon’s powers without hesitation.

Still impressed with how well they made Heatblast and Grey matter look
I always assumed Eon in future episodes was Ben from a timeline where Eon won in this movie and then some unexplained disaster forced him to leave
I do wanna say

Though had they wanted it more obvious, they could've had it be in chronological order, and had Ben Start out as heatblast, scare the kids as wildmutt, done the diamondhead gym scene, then had him fight Eon as XLR8, which I think actually would've been really cool since Eon can slow down time and such and XLR8 is real fast.
I honestly don't remember how, but I always had the impression that Eon even in Race Against Time was always an alternate Ben.
I mean he said he needed Ben specifically just Ben not thee omnitrix unlike vilgax who wanted the omnitrix and only that
Cuz time travel bullshit.
My theory is that Eon did that thing with the clock *solely* because he wanted to be dramatic
If I was a time-travelling supervillain, I'd want to be dramatic
It's interesting seeing you talk about the voice actors for the aliens and comparing the characters with their animated versions because I live in Brazil and have only seen the dub version, where everyone has the same voice as in the cartoon.

I was thinking “Wow. Greymatter is just acting like Jury Rigg”
To be fair in ultimate alien when Eon shows up in the future to fight Ultimate Ben, Ben says “i beat you as a kid” and Eon says “THAT WASNT ME” so this Eon is most likely an alternate reality doppelgänger that is an alien instead of a Ben
I think even Derrick Wyatt even said each Eon we see in the series is just a different Eon.
That’s confusing.
@@ciarangleeson2880 it's timetravel
As a kid, I loved this movie. I only saw it once, but I was hyped when I first did. My parents watched it with me too. Even when Eon showed up again in cannon I went "wait a sec that ain't what I remember, guess they changed that."
I think making the final fight fourarms instead of wildmutt would have been better, even if I'm not the biggest fan of him and think he's a bit overrated, just because of him being one of the main two, heatblast being the other.
Also I did notice a small mistake of what you remembered (unless I somehow remembered wrong) but they created the grand canyon when trying to destroy it, not just turn it off like you seemed to remember it as when the two cables turned it off. Though the same point could be made about when it actually does get destroyed so it's not a big deal, just thought I'd point it out though.
You perfectly summarized how I've been feeling when it comes to most reviews on UA-cam with the opening bit of this video. It just feels like you can't enjoy anything anymore because "this show/movie is the worst thing ever made" just gets thrown around so much to describe almost everything. It just gets old.
Yeah, it really gets old, and it takes away one's individuality at what your opinion is. For example, you can't enjoy this superhero movie because everywhere people saying that it sucks, and you might end up feeling bad or delusional of your judgment.
And don't get me started on all the video essays that takes this "pseudo-intelectual" approach that some content makers do thinking they're so smart; I'm not talking about all of them, some video-essays from the subjects I love I really enjoy, but there's other ones that are simply pretentious and not in an entertaining way

It's nice that we see a new, more human alien there. Honestly, could you ever include a Chronian in your comic book? As Ben's transformation?
Eon in 5YL is a Chronian in the story. He keeps body swapping with different Bens, doing so to such an extent that he intwinds himself with Ben's timeline, and even believes fire some time, that he was Ben.
kuro has said that they wont be giving ben any more human like aliens thats why he didnt get kryptonian, also chronians in 5yl are reality warpers so its kinda just to overpowered at a point for ben
Isn’t the point of like, every single alien in the series that they DON’T look human? Tbh I don’t think he should ever have an alien more humanoid than frankenstrike
It took me a while to get the "Plumbus est infinitus" on the plumbers' logo, i was like lead is infinite? that's a weird slogan to have, but then i remembered that pipes used to be made of lead and that they are plumbers so it i guess it makes some sense.
Theory: the Chronosapiens started out fighting the Chronians in the Time War, but ended up erasing them from history with a localized time weapon, which is why they became non-canon. This means Eon’s the last of his kind, hence the shift in his goals.
26:14 Seeing that scene with the old guy again kinda got me thinking:
Is he really an alien just wearing an ID mask?
Im so happy that this is basically a sequel to the diamondbolt collab, keep up the great work 👍
Fun fact for the movie, the voices actors of the classic series of the Latin dub gave voice to their respective characters
Y justamente esperaba el poder ver este comentario en la sección, muy genial 🙌🏻.
Por cierto, yo también soy colombiano 🇨🇴
13:50 - I have theory that Chronians are just Humans from a timeline where humanity discovered how to manipulate time and that Eon is Ben from that timeline, and by using his connection to Ben he is able to override the Omnitrix's failsafes and turn Ben into a clone of himself for when he needs a new body.
I only just realized, although it might be unintentional, there's a parallel between the Omnitrix and the hands. The Omnitrix is a symbol and tool for peace, while the hands is a tool for destruction. In addition there's also the fact the Hands resembles the Omnitrix dial slightly.
I forgot the name of the Principal's actor but that dude is awesome!
Makes me wish I saw his Doctor holograms make cameos in Star Trek.
Heck, they could've made him a Plumber Medic to reference that Star Trek role. "What is the nature of the medical emergency?" is close enough to "State the nature of your medical emergency."
I'm just glad this isn't one of the movies that directly disrespects the source material like dragon ball evolution or the last airbender movie

@Help a brother reach 1k yes
In the Fantastic Four there's a council of Dooms, which is just Doctor Dooms from different universes the prime Doctor Doom has brainwashed to be his slaves.
I could see Eon doing something like that to make his minions.
We rag on Eon for not being able to take a punch from a 10 year old, but we see Ben out Bike a car. This kid has got to have some serous muscles.

19:52 I don't know why but you saying George Washington forming the plumbers always cracks me up the way you say it so calmly even through I watched the episode so many times.
Definitely like the alternate versions of Ben as Eon’s servants the best
It also add up with omniverse
I am so happy Kurt talks about the vfx like he knows what he's talking about, not using terms like ''cgi'ing"
The only thing that annoyed me was the Diamondhead "fight". He was my favorite from the original 10-13 and was hoping for a little more. Like, seriously, STOP FIRING IN THE SAME SPOT, EON!
Yeah but luckily he still was in this film
Diamondbolt even described that so-called fight very underwhelming and he even said the same thing about Eon aiming at the same spot.
Eon can't handle the infinite Tennyson strength
Yes He Can
To be honest I really like the ultimate alien version of eon. The fact that eon is just Ben seems so kind of creepy to me. The fact that not all Ben's are heroes like ours and that there are some that are extremely dangerous. I also like your 5yl version so. As he's like an actual maniac. Anyways I prefer the Ben ten eon from ultimate alien.
Had this movie had greater budget, the bike chase could be replace with Ben running as XLR8 while Eon chases him by slowing time.

I have a soft spot for this movie, it’s like spy kids except with aliens!
that's an interesting comparison
When you mentioned Chapter 11 coming out “in a few months” I was like ‘oh damn, no longer TBA then??’ But nah I totally get it, making a comic is so much work and I applaud what you’ve done. 5YL is so cool, and I can’t wait for the next chapter. I’m also really excited for the motion comic, it looks dope from the trailers so far!
I feel that taking inspiration from 5 Years Later, Eon's henchmen could be all 3 incarnations being accurate as he uses all of them. Captured warriors from across time who were altered into monsters, alternate versions of Ben and robots. Also, the Grand Canyon thing with the Hands of Armageddon may imply that a blast of energy was sent back in time.

I fully agree with the opening statement. I see a lot of people insult movies for not being exactly like other movies. Especially when it comes to Spider-Man. I enjoyed the Raimi directed trilogy from 2002-2007, but I also really enjoy the MCU movies. Yet there are so many people who are overly critical and will explicitly express how they feel about someone’s intelligence for liking either one. On both sides. Yes, criticism is valid. If you don’t like a movie, that’s totally fine. But we need to learn to strike the balance of expressing what we like and don’t like, or if you don’t want to, you also don’t have to. Some people just like or don’t like things and like to leave it at that. I’m one of those people. In the end, just respect the opinions of others and just agree or disagree peacefully.
I personally believe Tom Holland is bad for being too different but can accept other opinions
People hate on MCU fans coz most of them go out of there way to diss other franchises, while they have no idea about that particular franchise and even about marvel comics themselves. Any new movie no matter how poorly made gets praised to hell( like black widow). Obviously opinions exist but you can't blame people for being annoyed by these antics.
Yes and some of us doesn't care that much
I agree completely! A lot of older movies, not really old movies like Will Wonka, but older films like this, Sam Raimi's films, get alot of hate, but really I think alot of newer films aren't too great, in my opinion, mainly because nowadays everything tries to be the next MCU.
The Maguire-only fans are WAYYY too toxic, like, Tobey is my favorite as well, but I like Tom and Andrew as well (except Far from Shit that movie was TERRIBLE for a spiderman film, but the problem wasn’t Holland, he did a good portrayal, the problem was the PLOT and the underwhelming use of Mysterio)
I've just never been a fan of live action adaptations of animated properties, I for one, don't have anything specifically against Race Against Time.
If you ask me, I think it's probably one of the little few live-action adaptations that have a respect for the source material. Even if it was set in a post-05 era of the series, you could still feel that it was Ben 10.
I like how right after you give props to the movie keeping crystals on Enon during the fight in the gym just for the digital crystals to magically disappear in the same shot 3 seconds later.😂😂
my theory on Eon's minions is that he started with brainwiped warriors from throughout space and time and after meeting Ben he decided that there was no greater warrior than him, so he began stealing Bens from across timelines and after being thwarted again he decided that the minions were no better than robots, no matter who they were before, so he decided to start stealing robots from across time instead of trained warriors or Bens because they proved to be easier to obtain and were just as effective
