I feel sorry for kids growing up watching this Ben 10. Now when I first watched this I didn't mind it but it always felt off. Until I watched it again and felt the pain. What's wrong with this is the lack of action, really cringey comedy, the worst character designs, and making the scary villains like in the original like something out of a Disney movie.

cartoon network needs to stop with these reboot first teen titans second powerpuff girls that i'm not a fan of and ben 10 those three good shows are now ruined because of cartoon network the ben 10 reboot is awful and terrible i mean the aliens looked different in this reboot four arms looks okay his voice sound like the four arms from omniverse heatblast sounds like a teenage surfer boy i don't like his voice actor upgrade has a new design he's purple he suppose to be green and his voice sounds terrible he sounds like a robot all the aliens look like garbage and this show is garbage ben 10 is my first cartoon network show so let's settle this ben 10 10/10 ben 10: alien force 10/10 ben 10: ultimate alien 10/10 ben 10: omniverse 9/10 ben 10 reboot 3/10

Why, just why? It's as bad as Be Cool Scooby Doo or Teen Titans Go! Omniverse was goofier at some points, but the story kept it good! This reboot instead is just a bag of trash!

Take a pot, fill it with water, and drown yourself in it!!!

I grew up with this show!!!! When I was 9, I couldn't wait for Friday to arrive (because that's when it aired where I lived as a kid) and Friday used to be my most favourite day, and the things I did to be able to watch that half hour!! When children grow up with show in this manner, they develop a deep connection. I had made up my mind at the age of 12 that I was bound to find the omnitrix someday!

I watched the complete show during three different age groups in my life over and over again. I played so many of its games, watched its movies, read and wrote fan fiction and researched the past and bio of every single character!!

And now during adulthood, I found out there was a reboot! I was so excited! Even after Omniverse, which took a little getting used to, but I still loved it!! I had such high hopes.

And then I watched it! It is just sad!! I'm sad, sad that it had to end this way. The show is just sad. I'd rather there hadn't been a reboot.

It is just sad!

OK here is the problem Cartoon network was already making enough money of ben 10 so why would they bother putting any effort into it when they could just make garbage i mean they obviously think kids are that stupid since they think they would watch any type of garbage thrown at them and by the way talagbe ''it's for kids'' is not an excuse for this piece of crap and ''it's for kids'' is not an excuse for lazyness do you honestly think that this is what kids deserve huh? and no it's not amazing it's far from that you wanna see amazing? look at steven universe now that is amazing this piece of cash grabbing trash will never be as good as steven universe

Oh boy, where to start? First off, I don't mind comedy, but when a show that 's about a boy fighting villains/aliens there should be more action like in the original or squeals, not just meme faces or trying to hip constantly.

Okay on to my next thing, when you hear the word reboot you expect a show to be new but still kind of sticking to the original story and characters right (like Thunder Cats and Looney Tune show)? Like take for example, Gwen. You know in the original Gwen and Ben's relationship didn't start off sunshine and flowers; but for some odd reason they made Gwen in the reboot seem too much of a doormat towards Ben? It's boring to see them just agreeing with each other without really seeing how their relationship mend from being two bickering cousins to good friends.

Then finally... the lazy design. I get it, they probably want to save money, but it's just so ugly looking. Even made me think it was that Scooby Doo reboot show.

This show is just awful when compared to the other 4 series. The first three were all amazing, omniverse was bad, but at least not this bad. The show lacks anything that makes it stand out. I feel like cartoon network basically just wanted to keep riding the gravy train of Ben 10 while keeping the audience age group to 8 to 12 years old.

Why not continue Ultimate Alien and allow it to reach the generation that actually grew up watching Ben 10. A lot of TV shows did this and are still very popular today. I mean even look at Harry Potter. The first movie was extremely childish and simple while the last two were very mature and contained swearing.

Please Cartoon Network, make a continuation of Ben 10 Ultimate Alien in the same art style for a mature audience.

THIS SHOW IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BORING ALSO MEH ANIMATION

Cartoon Network's been confusing me lately. They keep pumping out reboots with such a little crap, it's kinda sad. This reboot isn't as bad as PPG 2016, but it still isn't good by any means. I hope they realize that kids grow up with their shows, and that makes me sad, knowing that kids obliviously watch these cheap, pathetic reboots made just to sell McDonalds toys. I'm not giving it a 1 because the episodes suck, (they're more lazy and meh) I'm giving it a 1 because the soullessness and lack of heart behind the show. To any kids who see this review 20 years in the future, I'm sorry you grew up with this modern Cartoon Network, with constant re-runs of TTG and their pathetic reboots. I know Cartoon Network is a business, and they need money, but you can make a show good, AND care about money at the same time.

What do you say to series who's feature images contain a pile of Dino crap from Jurassic Park? Has there ever been a bigger middle finger than this? OK yeah there was Teen Titans Go and Powerpuff Girls 2016 I guess.

But here's the biggest issue I have with this show. It's a reboot. And I understand that Ben 10 has had a few reboots before (see my review on Omniverse) but this is an insult. Possibly worse than Omniverse.

Actually I can't compare it to Omniverse, because that at least has an original story-line, new likable characters and in some cases, acceptable animation. This is no excuse. Not only is this another reboot, but it's just a complete rehash of the original plot with maybe one or two new aliens thrown in. As if that's a good distraction...

This is just another bad reboot by Cartoon Network, which is not that surprising, that some how got lower scores than the two reboot shows before it. At this point, it may just be better off to not watch this show, so that way maybe CN will figure out we're done with these revamped shows.

What is it with cartoon network lately and taking a good show, and baby-afying it. Honestly, I used to like the other Ben 10, it had enough action, serious characters, a real plot, that kinda thing. This though? Should have been named Ben 3, maybe that way it would know who the shows target audience is. The characters just seem to be, doing everything just to be funny, but it often comes out as dumb. Also, why do the characters look like newborn babies? Like, the animator wanted to do cutesy anime blush, but, its on a cartoon, and its permanently on there.

Please, Avoid this at all costs, and if someone important ACTUALLY reads this, burn it.

First of i have watched Cartoon Network 18 years now, & there has been good programs over 10 years now good old days, and now there's the Ben 10 2016 reboot which have completely removed anything that made the original Ben 10 & Alien force so popular, basically its marketing toys/merchandise, for those who don't know I love toys, but i hate TV Shows that doesn't care about they fans and only cares about toy sales, thats just shady.

And also for those who don't know, the original Ben 10 and Alien Force are completely different than the god awful reboot,

Don't watch the reboot, buy the original & alien force on DVD instead.

The Ben 10 reboot is awful. The original series had action and adventure with sweet fighting moves that is stronger to target the audience. The new one just has comedy and has crappy jokes that can't make most of the audience laugh. The problem is changing the main genres, can lose viewers and ratings.

Listen, I grew up with Ben 10. It may even be my favorite cartoon series of all time. I've seen all of it of every series. So, when I saw this reboot, I was excited to see more Ben 10. But, one has to ask, when making a reboot, why? There has to be a reason for a reboot. A reboot should improve upon its source material in a unique way, setting it apart from the source while staying true enough to it to even be called a reboot. Now, I have to say, this show is funny. Not all the times and sometimes the joke isn't well placed or there's too much at one time but, most of the time, it's pretty comical. Alright, I like to give credit where credit is due. Ben 10 (2017) is bad. The characters are shells of what they used to be, they are all really dumb and all the episodes and characters are just flat and uninteresting. This show is another Teen Titans GO! It is funny because everything goes by fast. But that only amounts in quick laughs and a sense of unfulfillment.

So, I watched this series with somewhat of a detachment from the franchise. I grew up in the prime of the original series, but I wasn't allowed to watch it. I finally saw the first four series a few months ago and I loved them. I know the reboot was sorta bad news, but morbid curiosity got me.

This series isn't as good as the original, no. But I'm not gonna run around blinded by my (non-existent) nostalgia for the series and claim this is the worst thing ever. With that said, I see why no one really gave it a chance. It was very mediocre in its first season. The common comparison to the Powerpuff Girls reboot is inaccurate. PPG'16 was mediocre at best and really offensive with a lot of really bad political takes shoehorned in at worst. The most controversy the Ben 10 reboot really has to offer is that it's not as good as the original.

The art style is a mixed bag to me. I like it on the aliens. I think they are very cute and it makes me smile when I see them. But also, I can't call this my ideal take on the series. I think this style would've worked better as some shorts, similar to how many shows today have additional chibi shorts. The human designs on the other hand? I don't like most of them. They're too generic and seem like they can easily fit into Powerpuff girls 2016. The only major exceptions are Ben and Gwen, where I'm honestly okay with them looking so childish. When the villains (and I mean the big, overarching villains) appear, there's a nice juxtaposition here between the villain's sharp, jagged lines, and Ben and Gwen's round shapes. It makes you feel a sense of danger, like a wolf staring down a kitten. The actual animation, which is a separate thing from the art style, mind you, isn't too bad. Some episodes seem lower budget and seem off. Others actually have pretty decent action. This show is an action comedy, not in the same sense as Teen Titans Go. TTG uses its superhero origin as a mask to call it action. This show actually has full fight scenes. I am so grateful this is done in frame by frame and not flash. Finally, this is something no one ever really brings up, but the shot composition can be very off at times. There are emotional scenes, and while I do think they're solid, they could've been way better if more dynamic shots were used, more dramatic lighting, and even just more moments of silence so the audience can better process things and the characters can be shown emoting more.

Season one was mediocre. It wasn't anything amazing. But it wasn't terrible. I have a terrible sense of humor, so it did get a chuckle out of me every once in a while, but that's about it in terms of comedy. The fight scenes are adequate. To this series' credit, Ben and Gwen interacting doesn't make you want to tear your hair out. Honestly? I don't think this series deserved so much hate. It's a downgrade, sure, but it was harmless. I do see why no one gave season one a chance though, because it has very little to offer up until the finale. The finale begins to show promise of something more in terms of story. Season two continues to show promise and has a handful of slightly more serialized episodes. I was actually feeling really hopeful. It still had a lot of meh episodes just like season one, but there was hope. I honestly think some of the villains were handled with a lot more complexity than the original series. My only gripe is that they were seemingly far less threatening. I really wish there was a nice middle ground. Season three upped the antsy and a lot of those episodes are serialized. Even a lot of the filler would have a small plot development or a sweet emotional scene. The mediocre episodes continued to appear, and they were frustrating now than ever because they broke up the overarching story, but they appeared far less. Sometimes the filler was even fun to watch. I honestly enjoyed this season.

So imagine this: I'm riding on a high. Season three pulled itself together. The upcoming movie looks solid at least. Season five is said to be completely serialized. Season four is gonna be good, right? Season four was a massive letdown. This season isn't over yet, so maybe I'll change my tune, but with six episodes left, and everything this season feeling the most toy commercial driven of any season, my hopes aren't high. It hasn't fallen quite to season one levels, there are still some decent episodes, but it's just really disappointing to see the quality take a step back down and everything go episodic again.

It got better. It really did. It had good episodes. But it was all buried under so much mediocrity. I think Cartoon Network really shot themselves in the foot with this one. Especially on season four. This show wasn't worth all the hate. It's just very benign, especially when compared to PPG'16 or TTG. It isn't better than the original, not by a long shot, but it has posed some ideas that are better than the original, and would've been had it been properly executed. Fingers crossed the movie and final season will be decent.

Would I recommend it? Not really. It really depends on your BS tolerance, sense of humor, etc. I went in open minded. Enjoyed some of it, felt indifferent other times. It's worth giving a chance, but not a must see. If you do give it a chance though, start off with the season one finale, season two's multiparters, then look at Wikipedia for what season three episodes to choose.

Ok the show might not be the most creative of something but its still great! For some people who grew up with the original ben 10 or just like it it might be devastating to see it like this ben 10 but its not bad!

I mean come on? It's just a reboot of a cartoon, people on here are treating this show like it's the devil or something. But when I watched the show it wasn't even bad it was actually pretty decent in my opinion. The animation is solid, the art style looks fairly decent, the voice acting is great, and the new aliens designs while not as good as the original still look cool. The toxic people of the Ben 10 community need to stop having on this show, hating this show will not make it suddenly disappear.

I have loved Ben 10 ever since it came out when I was 10 years old. The classic Ben 10 taught kids great lessons about being brave, smart, having integrity, and doing the right thing. Ben and Gwen were both funny, adorable, and they taught kids about having fun, being a good person, helping others, and standing up for your family. Their rivalry also reminded me of my cousin and I when we were kids. Their grandfather was also a great figure in their lives, and the action and aliens were also the best! With the reboot, what happened? Why did they have to dumb down all the characters, including their grandfather? Why did they take away some of the original aliens, and why is the writing so cheap? The writing used to be so great. I still love Tara Strong, though. She's the only good part of the reboot. It's bad enough that CN made these reboots of Teen Titans and the Powerpuff Girls. Why did they have to do the same thing to Ben 10? Ben Tennyson doesn't deserve this, and neither does Tara Strong. Also, feeding the next generations this Bonanza-esque garbage is awful. Kids deserve better television like us millennials, and the oldest members of Gen Z had. Seriously, stop ruining great shows with terrible reboots.
