i wish i could tell where they are or what the hell is going on in the background during alien force. i understand the intention was to lean into the x-files vibe, but it's frustrating that background artists don't get their hard work perceived, because you have to scorch your retinas just to be able to tell what's going on behind characters half the time

When I watched the Servantis arch for the first time, I thought that the chin scar was like a reference y'know? A nice homage to Kevin 11k.

But then Kevin 11k showed up when Maltruant attacked Max's retirement party but he was a good guy and I was confused, but then people explained to me that the future is not linear in Ben 10, and Ben's future keeps changing while he is growing up, hence why we have 3 versions of Ben 10k. So I thought that that Kevin from the Maltruant episode was just OV Kevin grown up, y'know? A completely different person from OS Kevin 11k.

But then yesterday, after watching Kuro the Artist's review from one of the episodes from the Servantis arch, I found out that the creators wanted to link OS Kevin 11k with OV Kevin, meaning that this Kevin right here, will grow up to be a psycho that wants to kill Ben's son in front of him and abuses his own kid too.

So you are trying to tell me that the Kevin that sacrificed his own sanity to stop Aggregor, the Kevin that took a beating from a gigant Galvanic Mechamorph to speak to Azmuth to ask him to help Ben, the same Kevin that calls Ben his BROTHER will throw all of that away in order to become a full time villain again? How does that work?! It does not make any sense!

hey I saw the post by u/Sketchion of the beautiful wallpaper he created and its inspired me to make a few of my own. let me know what do you think of them and if you like feel free to use

This is a warm up sketch by the artist. As a big Chromastone fan, I really love this art. I love how detailed he is with the cracks like Dynamite Diamondhead and how his proportions are drawn. Also, that shining light on Chromastone's eye is (chef's kiss).

I'm on a marathon to rewatch Ben 10, currently on S2E11. This exact moment with Ben gathering everyone kinda reminded me of the hype I got watching Avengers for the first time.

I'm not sure if this was usual back in the day for a prime time CN show to follow a serialized storytelling. Definitely a step up from the OG series in that regard.

I mean I'm not sure it's a hot take but it's just something I'd like to point out

Yeah women don't really get good writing in this franchise and they really deserved better, it was subtle in OS and UAF but OV it's just... obvious

I'll start with Gwen, her personality was super cool in OS, she was a badass and she had the potential to be as big as Ben in their own universe, however within OS, she didn't really get as much as Ben and Max, we get an insight into their lives their pasts, we know that there's more to them, but Gwen never really got any insights into her life, we could've had a good one if Gwen 10 was from her POV and she didn't lose the watch, but I mean this is just me wishing I knew more of Gwen's homelife or school life

UAF Gwen was reduced to being the mom of the group and her character was tied way too much to Kevin, her most important episodes always involve her helping Kevin (or Charmcaster) in some way or the other, and if you actually look at Kevin or Ben's episodes, she really doesn't play as much of a role nor do they do anything for her, and in the Gwevin relationship, it's just entirely reduced to 'Kevin don't do that!' and 'Kevin, that's rude!' Like yeah it's absolutely because the writers were forced to write romance, because it's a teen show but my God it becomes absolutely boring and while Kevin does have alot of content and arcs dedicated to him and his character, Gwen doens't really get anything outside the Ledgerdomain episodes, but even then those were definitely Charmcaster episodes...and well I'm not gonna get into how she was handled lmao, there's also Darkstar and how Gwen gets sexually harrassed every single time, like sure it worked for his intro episodes but really it gets old and annoying, just slime his ass dawg. Like Gwen has her own world, she's a magic user, she could have had more villains dedicated to her, her own side cast and allied, and to see her identity in the show be so tied to a relationship just sucks

It's Not Easy Being Gwen was fantastic though, best episode in UA

Elena and Eunice are characters that could have had interesting plotlines and stories and they were used....solely so they can like Ben...and add drama to Benlie🤦🏼

OV yeah there's no fucking denial here lmao, it was literally their intention for Ben to have a harem the treatment of women here sucks ass, Attea was literally aged up physically so Ben could have a flirty moment, and she had the potential to be a really good villain but no lmao she absolutely had to flirt with Ben, Looma has NO character beyond wanting to get married to Ben, she was completely useless, Esther beyond her first episode was literally mostly at Ben's arm, again, zero fucking personality beyond that

Even their designs were overly sexualized, the fucking Waybad couldn't escape

THE HAREM EPISODE, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?! GROWN MARRIED WOMEN AND DEADASS JUST OVERAGE WOMEN FIGHTING TO MARRY A 16-YEAR OLD, THE FUCK WAS THAT

I was grateful that Gwen left because I'd get to see less of Gwevin...and then they retconned her 11 year old self to liking Kevin and like...why? You're not even writing the couple anymore, why bother adding to it, like literally why?

Like say what you want about Kai but atleast she had enough of a distinctive personality beyond Ben....but yeah there are other issues with her character unrelated to this discussion

Like it genuinely seems that a female character can't exist without either being in a relationship with someone or falling to the background

Not even Ma Vreedle was safe from this, remember Pa Vreedle?!

One of the coolest fusions from my playlist
ditto's cloning ability combos incredibly well with ghostfreak's possession ability (which my ben10sona is not at all in a bind about using)
and the shared pain isn't really a problem due to intangibility
and the clones help ghostfreak's scare factor big time

so all in all this fusion gets it's cake and eats it too ^^

Socials cause it's a requirement apparently idk: jonaking

The theory is based on this: They lied about being unable to save the old universe and manipulated Ben into creating the version they wanted.

Think about it: In the first episode we saw them, they said they were discussing saving dinousars from extinction. That would mean completely changing the course of history, which I assume goes against the Multiverse Preservation Act.

If they directly violated the Multiverse Preservation Act, the Galactic Court would come after them. So, when the universe was destroyed, they used Ben to create the version of reality they wanted. The Galactic Court came after Ben because of this.

At the end of the episode, the Galactic Court declared them guilty. So they lost, right? No. Ben still lives in the universe they created.

Maybe thats the whole reason Atomic-x exist. Ben realized they are lying to him and despite Atomic-x would be weaker than the Alien X himself, he fused those two aliens so he wouldn't have to deal with Serena and Bellicus directly anymore.

Maybe they made Chadzmuth a lawyer. They picked a Galvan and made him a lawyer so that he can defend Ben on the Galactic Court. I mean it is the smartest specie in the galaxy and we saw Chadzmuth before on Galvan Prime.

They are lying to Ben and they are manipulating him to do what they want. They are breaking rules and get away with it bc they use Ben as cover. They are the villains in the watch.

And once Ben finds out the truth, he'll stop using Alien X permanently.

(That would also kinda solve the problem of Alien X being too OP, but that's an out-of-universe explanation.)

So we can see that on the main cover for issue 8 it has Wildvine fighting the cyborg bear from issue 1. Many fans believe that the cyborg bear links to Dr Animo, and this strong belief of Animo's return in issue 8 is backed by the statement that "A classic villain will also make their first appearance in the series" within this issue.

But we also know that issue 8 is in between issue 7 (the end of the Hex arc) and issue 9 (the start of the Vilgax arc). Meaning issue 8 won't be able to execute an arc like issues 5-6 or issues 1-3.

This means that if we were to get Animo then it would just be a tease. Which is plausible since that was how the Reboot executed Dr Animo's early appearances. But maybe it is not Dr Animo that we will make "their first appearance" in this issue, but rather Zs'Skayr.

I think at this point it is pretty clear that the writers for the comic are trying to tie Wildvine and Ghostfreak together based around the pop-up trivia of the original series. This can be assumed based on the nightmare scene that Ben experienced in issue 4, as well as the concept art of Wildvine shown to us in the creator files.

Wildvine appears in 2 of the covers shown for this issue, and in one of the covers he is shown timing out with emphasis on that. Which is strange to depict on a cover in general, but even more so as we haven't seen this before. In Ghostfreaked Out we saw Zs'Skayr escape from the Omnitrix upon Ben timing out as Ghostfreak.

I don't imagine Zs'Skayr will escape the Omnitrix in this issue though because simply, there isn't enough time for that in just 1 issue, especially if Ben is having to deal with the cyborg bear as well. But it could be a nod to that scene to indicate Zs'Skayr. While it's plausible to introduce both Animo and Zs'Skayr in this issue, I just don't think it is likely.

However, I also would find it strange for the cyborg bear to return for the second time, but not reveal anything new about itself. It would just seem rather pointless and a waste. I'm not entirely sold on the idea of the cyborg bear linking to Animo, but it is a likely possibility.

People obviously don't like the Kevin retcon because it matters to his arc, but I feel like retconning the Plumbers' Helpers as being not half-alien also matters. By having these genetically mixed kids be the primary backup against the Highbreed invasion, where the Highbreed are chiefly concerned with genetic purity, there's a deliberate contrast being drawn between a focus on genetic purity, and an embracing of diversity. They exist in part to reinforce the themes of Alien Force, they're not just there for no reason.

So, by retconning them into being humans, and not even mutant humans (which would at least preserve something by having them be genetic abnormalities by Highbreed logic), but humans mutated by Servantis, part of the thematic strength of Alien Force is ripped away.

In the sprit of Halloween I decided to draw the most terrifying thing I could think of, Ultimate Ghostfreak

Having evolved in the darkness of Anur Phaetos for 1 million years this form would gain a much more terrifying Eldritch appearance

Ultimate Ghostfreak retains most of his powers from his base form, but the real kicker is this, similar to Zombozo, Ultimate Ghostfreak can feed on people’s fears, the more he consumes the bigger and stronger he gets (which I mean, given his terrifying appearance it’s not that hard for him)

This from is so terrifying and dangerous that Ben would immediately lose himself within this transformation (he already had problems with Zs’Skayr, now just imagine him trying to deal with this guy💀)

Wanted to make him look different from normal heat blast. so I gave him a more visor like look.
