With the comic coming up in May what are your hopes for it? One of MOAs original guys is working on it. With it being a reboot doctor think we'll get another original 10 aliens? Will they still force Kai?
>>152299962>With it being a reboot doctor think we'll get another original 10 aliens?Nah, we're almost definitely just gonna get the original 10 again, I think it's likelier that they get some changes, whether in design or by how their powers work.I for one would make Ripjaws be able to communicate with fish and other animals like Aquaman.>Will they still force Kai?Probably not, but that's probably more because they won't have any romance at all.That said, if they do, they'll probably use Kai, I don't really expect to see a 10 year old Julie.
>>152299962I hope they keep it simple and go back to square one changing things here and there. They have 5 series worth of lore to go backand pick and choose what people liked and didn't like. You can have a Gwen and Kevin romance that flows better, maybe deage Charmcaster and pair her up with Ben, just recon Kai out of existence. As far as Aliens go I would actually like to see them create a new Playlist out of existing ones. I want to see OS Ben with humungosaur and for the love of God make vilgax cool again.
>>152300198Make Lucy a semi-regular and I'm sold.
>>152299962I think it'd be neat if Ben met some alien characters before scanning them into the watch.Like, he meets Baz-L or Tetrax or Psychobos, and that's how he gets their respective transformations.Also, I think it'd be neat if he first fought Zs'Skayr, he seemingly killed him, scanned him at the last moment, and that's how he gets the Ghostfreak transformation.Then everything goes fine for a while until he starts having the usual troubles.
>>152300235>Lucy becomes a regular>Gets paired with Ben just to piss everyone offI do like that dirty sludge puppy.
>Dynamite's PPG run lasted 9 issues>Gargoyles doesn't have a proper ongoing anymore>twitter fans don't actually buy comicsGet ready to witness disappointment and confusion in real time folks
>>152300198>just retcon Kai out of existence.Maybe cause I haven't seen OV yet, but surely they could like, fix her character or something instead, she can't be that bad.Admittedly, I'm not exactly a fan of her being endgame anyway, but still, if she can't be a love interest, maybe she could do something else.
>>152300276Pretty sure Ben 10 has a marginally more active fan base than any of those.
>>152299962After the absolute borefest that was Alien Force, I can't give a fuck about this franchise. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going back to the Gwen thread.
>>152300276To be fair, "supporting" comics isn't as simple as just buying it at the store like you would buy a game or a movie ticket, you have to go out of your way to fucking pre-order the thing, the industry hasn't made it easy, specially for those who don't already know how it works.
>>152300339kay bye
>>152300295They tried to make it Ben/Gwen with none of the build up and it wasnt a situation like Kevin and Gwen where it gets much better once you accept it. They just plop her down and have Kenny time travel travel to play match maker.
>>152300276The sonic comics manage to sell enough to be profitable in spite of being mainly pirated, if it can do decent numbers early maybe they can ride it out until they get the trades out, I think the trades could do really well.
>>152300403Sega's insistence is about the only thing that keeps the Sonic comics going. If IDW tanks, they'll just move the book to another publisher.
>>152300434>If IDW tanks, they'll just move the book to another publisher.That's not how licenseshit works
>>152300339
>>152300446Good luck telling Sega that.
>>152300450Gwen only showed up like that for a very short scene if I recall, had they actually featured her in the show I'm sure she would've looked like her OS version.I actually wonder if her looking like that was some sort of mistake, maybe mixing up Gwen's teen and kid designs, she looked fine in photos at least.
>>152300297A fan base that consists mostly of latinos that most definitely won't buy the comic.
I like Robert Carey's art but on one hand, he draws aliens well and I'm not fond of how streamlined they got in later showsOn the other hand, I don't think something like this works with Ben 10Something more "stylized" and "anime-esque" would've fit better but I'll have to see the final product
If Wildmutt isn't one of the aliens, it's gonna be a missed opportunity
>>152300478Dsl loli Gwen looks that way on purpose because she suppose to be the Gwen in Race Against Time not OS Gwen.
>>152300339I still like AF Gwen honestly.
>>152300520Completely over hated luckily the lolifags usually self contain. Wish they had their own board.
>>152300520why did she let this happenis she stupid
>>152300538She was always kinda book smart street dumb.
>>152300520>Thay figureMaybe we judged her too harshly.
>>152300355It's frustrating, the book has no preview pages, right now if I want to collect it I'll have to preorder it early april, by the time I get it I'll have to have ordered issue 2 beforehand if I want to continue it, so I could be locking into multiple issues of a book I end up disliking.
More electricity aliens.
>>152300504>>152300512Nah, if it’s more “realistic” than the show, and besides aliens looking freaky is what makes them cool
>>152300680The one below are different in colors and utilization, don’t tell me that Frankenstrike is the same as Buzzshock or Ampfibian
>>152300680>AmpFibianFlight, mind-reading, can outright transform into electricity and ride currents, and can swimDownside is he's a glass cannon>ShockrockReboot alien, not really discussed upon but he makes constructs IIRC>FeedbackRedirection and absorption >FrankenstrikeElectromagnetism>BuzzshockDuplication + Flight>BranstormIntelligence + Levitation, electricity is a minor power and is more of a utility>Shocksquatch .......yeah you got me thereeven as a kid I didn't really like him
>>152300687I feel like the series peaked when it was more grounded. Art styles aside, there is not a huge tonal shift between the OS and AF thay xant be explained away by Ben and Co being older.
>>152299962>One of MOAs original guys is working on it.All of the original MOA writers are on it
>>152300154>Probably not, but that's probably more because they won't have any romance at all.As schizo as this sounds I would be surprised if they didn't, not because I think it really needs it but because I can't imagine MoA making the mistake of not making it abundantly clear that Ben and Gwen aren't an item. On the same hand you could create a plethora of cute alien girls to go after Ben.
>>152300756Come on, Shocksquatch moves like an animal and can shoots electricity from his mouth
>>152299962My hopes is that they don't do anything crazy design wise. A minor wardrobe update would work just fine. Mix and match aliens and villains, let's me see OS Aggrigor or Albedo to keep things fresh so you're not just retreading the OS. MorningStar would also be cool to see
>>152301006>let's me see OS AggrigorThe Sykes would be too high for the OS>MorningStar would also be cool to seeYou can’t make the Morning Star Gwen’s enemy in the OS setting without some implications
So which artists do we want on this? I want Ryan Steggman he’s one of my favorite artists. Also have they confirmed who’s doing the art?
>>152300946>not making it abundantly clear that Ben and Gwen aren't an itemI don't think they care about the incest porn as much as you think they do, I don't think the reboot had any romance of any kind for example. Romance has never been the main focus of this series anyway.
>>152301034>Be Darkstar>Be an allegory for addiction and a foil for Kevin>Fans years later think you're a rapist>Mfw
>>152301053There was plenty albeit one side for the most part on Kevins side. Gwen also had a one sided crush on some one or two off black kid that never went anywhere.
I wonder who they think the audience is for this book, adult fans with nostalgia, or the scholastic crowd?
>>152301083So just unrequited kid crushes like in the OS, no formal relationships like the other ones.Look man, I know the incest thing is kind of a big thing around these parts, but I assure you most normal people don't even consider that.
>>152301110I'm sure they don't, but at least in Gwen and Kevins case there an argument to be made for nostalgia sake.
>>152301110Ehh, IDK, I knew normies who'd seen the show not knowing they were cousins and thought that the romance was part of the show, it's not exactly an uncommon observation.
>>152301147But Ben and Gwen call Max grandpa like every episode.>>152301067The reboot didn't help. Also played by Drake Bell.
>>152301067He’s an allegory for predatory behavior
>>152301096Adults with nostalgia. Would be dumb to do a completely new continuity and not target those who grew up with it. >>152301147Did they only watch that wedding episode or something?
>>152301096Officially? Teens I guess, I think it's rated T, also include kids who want to get into things that aren't meant for them because they're cool.But unofficially, manchildren nostalgic for the franchise, that's why these brands get revived in the first place, to exploit that already existing audience.
>>152301301If a kid was 8 when the reboot started they're about an adult now.
>>152301390Yeah, but they'd be like 18, not enough disposable income as the ones who grew up on the old shows I guess.But also holy shit, it's been 10 years since the reboot.
>>152301411Technically only five or so. The reboot was the longest running series.
Anyone remember that Gwen HAS a brother? Like, not even Omniverse remembered him lol
>>152301590Yes. I thought he was pretty memorable for a one off character. Kinda funny Gwen s parents have no pictures of him though but I always liked the idea of him being a black sheep of Gwen s family. Hence why Ben thinks he's cool and Gwen is lame as a kid.
>>152301590Nobody even remembers that Ben had a dog.
>>152301628The whole last season of the OS is insanely forgettable.
I want them to explain where exactly Charmcaster is from.
>>152301180If that's the case then they could absolutely do a side plot with him and a 10 year old Gwen.
Ben 10 Alien Force and Ultimate Alien are the best.
>>152299962>Will they still force Kai?To this day I'm still in awe at how fucking awful their "romance" was in OV. Like, the show literally had a god like being telling the viewers pointblank that Kai was the only one for Ben.
>>152302180Apparently it was an executive decision but that always sounded like bs to me.
>>152302109Nope
>>152302246I think people over rate the original series, it's good and has a lot of fun action scenes but really likes in the character department, Ben's learns not to abuse the Omnitrix like 6 times throughout the show,and for all the cum people spilled over OS Gwen she isn't much more than a cheerleader for Ben until she gets magic and even then she barely uses it most episodes. Most of UAFs flaws to me are tied in art direction and lighting.
>>152302231Who the fuck would care about a one off character who's whole fucking point was sometimes young love doesn't work out?
>>152300512What aliens could they leave out and replace from the original 10? I feel like no one really cares about stink fly
>>152302611XLR8, Heatblast, Diamondbacks, and four arms are a must, you can probably swap anyone else out.
>>152300276If Ben 10 managed to sell well, it could get 25 issues and countless spin-offs and mini-events like Thundercats does.
>>152300339>It dies when the Gwevinchads leave
>>152301034>You can’t make the Morning Star Gwen’s enemy in the OS setting without some implicationsYou'd have a perfect cheek opportunity for some funny meta commentary if you did.
>>152299962>hopesUse the good ideas from the reboot. All that cool shit in the alien world's shorts? Just do that again but make it better like shockrock's species or kaiju diamondheads.>>152301160I feel Drake did a good job with the character desu. Even better than his original voice and yuri. He just needed a way better script because voice actors aren't allowed to breathe in the reboot.
>>152300450I don't get it.
>>152302777Trips of truth.>>152299962Remake the OS and sprinkle in foreshadowing to UAF OV. They don't need to be fancy they just need to line up what everyone enjoyed about each series.
>>152300504>doood what if samus had scars and an eyepatchgay
>>152300536Even non-"lolifags" prefer OS Gwen
>>152303309Making fun of her lips and muted colors that make her appear like a knockoff. /co/ shat on the design change too.
>>152302109uaf zs'skyar is really weak without glossy lips and crooked teeth
>>152303592Seethe
>>152300680Tbh, Fasttrack was sauceless. If his power was something like this https://youtube.com/watch?v=7Ye7yFS90hw people would like him more.
>>152304116He just ran out of his favorite lipstick. And don’t judge the guy for getting his teeth fixed, dental hygiene is important even for supervillains
>>152300715>>152300756What could be an extra gimmick to set Fasttrack aside from XLR8?
>>152299962My major hope is that they get the OS artstyle for it.Everything being a bit freaky/gross and the black and white costumes
>>152305008I’d make him more acrobatic and good at parkour. XLR8’s best for sprinting in open, flat, areas basically but Fasttrack’s good in conventional environments. Besides cats which he’s based on are known for leaping around and being quick like that
>>152304116I'd argue turning his head right-side up in OV is a bigger sin.
>>152303593Non lolifags don't care half as much as you think.
>>152303593I doubt it. Most people aren't obsessed over such an old design.>>152305008He was suppose to be able to phase through walls and shit.
>>152301847With we got that Gwen spin off that portrayed her as s Fujo loving k-pop watching loser.
>>152306532Neetcaster is the perfect endpoint for her as a character
>>152305994I remember seeing on the wiki that DJW did that because he had a Ghostfreak toy, flipped its head for some reason, and when re designing him for OV he just forgot that his head was supposed to be upside down. I mean grain of salt if it’s true but if it is that’s really funny
>>152307200I think they did it because it is easier to animate.
>>152307501I can see that. Either way a poor decision
Post favorite aliens. The OV design for Ghostfreak with the original color scheme looks great imo. I even think the chains could work if they were a more silver color instead of green
>>152299962
>>152305994So fucking stupid that they made that decision
>>152308190Just make another Gwen thread please.
>>152308186Ov was a mixed bag of designs, writing and story choices.
>>152308190While I get wanting them to fuck in the OS anything after that is kinda funny to me for the wrong reasons. Comes off like Ben is a cuck for some reason.
>>152309400As a femamon it comes off as pathetic and clear wish fufillment. Like "Yeah okay sure she's going to pick Ben over Kevin." It doesn't help that I saw a bunch of people trash talk it in that Gwen thread. They should stick to their incest threads.>>152306751Girl failures are fun if done right. The idea of Charmcaster being this evil sorceress trying to take over the world and or save ledgerdomin as more or less a day job only to juxtapos it with her eating chips off her titties while explaining to Gwen why her Sumo Slammer fujo doujinshis are actually too tier makes me giggle.
>>152309562She comes back to her and Gwen’s little base that was in OV, plops onto the couch, pulls out her phone, and goes “Sigh long day at work time to crack open the yaoi” much to the disgust of Gwen and Kevin. And yes she says “sigh” she never actually sighs, that’s the most annoying part to them
>>152309036OV Blitzwolfer looks best in the Galactic Monsters intro where he has the OV uniform but the classic black and white colors
>>152299962>>152309562>They should stick to their incest threadsJust ignore it otherwise you in ite them.>>152310266Ov used too much green.
>>152310642It’s more so the shade; to obnoxiously neon for my liking. If it was a darker green like forest it would look nicer
>>152300680Just 3 more electric aliens and we could have a full roster.
Bump 10
>>152312029Let’s brainstorm (pun intended) some new electric aliens so we can have an all electric type playlist. All I’ve got is an alien that can control the electrical impulses in the brain/body, meaning Ben can puppeteer his opponent. Can’t think of a design but it would have to be something not physically strong
>>152313072He needs an electrical growing alien.
Rewatxhing the series and it got me thinking how high do you think Kevin's body count is?
>>152313334He builds up a charge that allows him to grow and when he attacks he slowly shrinks back down to his base size
>>1523135810. The kid was a petty thief till he got a taste of the Omnitrix power THEN he was out for blood
>>152313956He seemed a bit to eager to kill Zombozo, Charmcaster and Volcanus.
>>152313956There's a solid 5 year gap for him where he was doing a bunch of illegal shit though. If he didn't personally kill someone he was probably around it.
>>152300235I wanna a see Ben 10 inches in that Lucy pussy.
>>152310266>Blitzwolferi know he made it up on the spot but where did he get the blitz part from? did max have some ww2 air raid stories?
>>152314880Wolf Blitzer is an American news man
>>152314110>>152314593I was talking about classic Kevin but UAF Kevin has definitely killed people
>>152301067>becomes ugly>gets a Doctor Doom mask and turns his last name into a supervillain titleWhat a drama queen.
>>152315927I bet he read a FF comic and went “This Doom guy’s got a great look”
>>152299962Wonder what that supposed Fortnite collab will be about.
>>152316567I hope we get some alien skins
>>152315927The series as a whole had a lot of comic shout outs.
meanwhile we get this from fans. i just want to point out how shitty this is and its still getting attention. are ben 10 fans that starved for content? or just retarded? best we had to actual absolute ben 10 was bentropy and it was stoned to death by same fans. shame
>>152318321Someone needs to storytime the charities comic or what ever it is called sometime.
>>152319350As if they wouldn’t all just start beating the fuck out of each other
Would you guys come up with your own alien names if you had the Omnitrix? I probably would, my Omnitrix, my aliens, my names you know?
>>152320744i fancy myself with that. but its hard to top bens. i usually make a reference or try reaaaaally hard to come up with something original>xlr8 - sp33dtrap>chronian - me-time>ghostfreak - die-down>gutrot - gas chamber>alien x - deus EX>ampfibian - buzzsmack>echo-echo - groovesetter>swampfire - snapbursti remember i came up with a good name for blitzwolfer replacement, but forgot it. additionally i drawn most of aliens i had vision for
>>152300946>On the same hand you could create a plethora of cute alien girls to go after Ben.Wasn't the Omnitrix meant to aid in 'reproductive efforts' or 'population recovery' (i.e. breeding alien booty)
>>152320197Maybe so, but for the brief period of time where they can work together, Ben is getting his ass kicked.
>>152320914btw can you guys help me out on this guy? im cracking my head all day with his design. i wanted to give him chest vents, but that be rip off from teraspin and i also wanted to include those tubes>big guy, almost 2meters tall>generates and directs powerful tornadoes from his tubes with same principle as real ones>his inhale has reverse effect, having powerful vacuum suction>can fly and decently strong>has a personality of loudmouth stereotypical superheromaybe i should add a silly cape
>>152320914I actually really like Sp33dtrap especially because it has the same number thing as XLR8. Dues EX is also a fun name and fits thematically. Cool art too man. Here’s mine for my playlist>Rougarou - Blitzwolfer>Revenant - Ghostfreak>Speed Demon - XLR8>Ropen - Astrodactyl>Fatalis - Rath>Killerwatt - Feedback>Agni - Heatblast>Tundra Lizard - Articguana>Mastermind - Grey Matter>Gravitron - Gravattack
>>152321352Please give him a silly little cape
>>152321663eyy, i think i saw you before, yeah
>>152300295>maybe she could do something else.Villain Kai?
>>152321875Yeah I like to share the names I came up with. I’ve got more too>Thrashzilla - Humungousaur>Knuckleduster - Four Arms>Killer Quartz -Diamondhead>Riptide - Water Hazard>Shriek - Echo EchoYou get the idea, I like that Ditto too. Good color
>>152321352Maybe his tubes wrap together and when they unravel they produce wind. That way they can generate wind but don’t need vents
>>152320914Sick pose
>>152316567The map should be the Null Void
