I am surprised how apparently casual and meaningless the sex ended up being as the comic went on. It initially seemed like they may have really had a thing for each other. Like romantic feelings building. But then it didn't really seem to matter anymore. I wonder what caused that shift.

Omniverse was so weird it really felt like they just wanted to do a continuation of classic Ben ten but just did a weird in-between of young Ben and teenager Ben while dumbing down and dematurising teenage Ben.

Probably not, she was extended family, one of the more extraneous characters.

Swap Gwen and Charmcaster's ages. Charmcaster should be the older girl who breaks her ass sacrificing everything to learn magic just to be shown up by a younger noob who picked it up as a hobby.

Yeah really first few scenes were hot especially because it made gwen a cute horny nerd and liked ben teasing her about it and taking advantage after they started. Pretty hot concept funniest scene was the cereal bowl one

I think instead should have made it ben harem as it's obviously what incog wanted. That or as anon said lean into building crush or dynamic, feels like the intro dynamic is completely gone and they are just two sex pest getting into sheningans not bad but far from first part. Still great comic and in style so extra kino but did take a interesting turn but hey beggers can't be choosers.

Has Gwen ever been carried over the shoulder in any of the shows? She got kidnapped that way in the flash game Ben to the Rescue on the old Cartoon Network website. That was a formative memory in my childhood. Seeing how a girl can be carried in a way that brings most of the attention to her butt awakened something in me.

Ben and Lucy is under rated, seriously go back and rematch her episodes and look at how she looks at Ben all the time.

Honestly been seeing after 2016 version people pushing for charmcaster being officially added to the Ben "Roster/bowl". I usually don't care but she super cute here and kind of fun au doing something different plus come on a knight and his lil witch bestie
>>152765416
Yeah this would be peak and somewhat canon also wish/hope the bring this back in revival comic. I really don't like the alien thing but it's great to add to the whole "prodigy" vibe gwen had and how unloved charm was by magic and her own uncle.

She's the cutest Ben 10 girl in all iterations, and the most reoccurring female antagonist. In fact, they specifically nerfed Gwen (block chin, triangle boobs) while still keeping Charmcaster attractive. Even the design notes say she's the "attractive" one.

Ive actually come to prefer the art style changes over the years. Keeps things visually fresh and Gwen's looks dont bother me at the slightest as I never found her OS design particularly engaging and I liked the school girl look it made sense for her character.

>>152766190
Its unitonically the most logical thing you could do meta wise if you pair Gwen up with Kevin. They only problem it has is the age gap would could all too easily be fixed in a reboot.

Gwen and Charmcaster don't really have much in common other then using magic, I don't think Ben would date her for any Freudian reason.

Case in point.
>>
>>152766431
Which case is proving which point?
>>
>>152766419
Ben and Kevin were personal enemies. Vilgax just wanted the Omnitrix and couldn't careless about Ben.

When Kevin and Vilgax team up, Vilgax is opportunistic while Kevin joins forces to get revenge.
>>
>>152766440
That you're retarded if you don't think Charmcaster and Ben wouldn't be what incestfags think Ben and Gwen is.
>>
>>152766452
By the time of Secret of the Omnitrix and even more in the sequels, Vilgax already has a burning hatred towards Ben.
>>
>>152766464
What moments do they have together? They don't give a shit about each other. Charmcaster has more going on with Kevin.
>>
>>152766186
I mean, she was a little too excited to dance with Ben. He honestly fumbled by not marrying the shape shifting alien. He could have fucked anyone by marrying her. Julie, Gwen, Charmcaster, and not just the women in his life but the men and the childr...

Ben should have followed max's example and just fucked the alien.
>>
>>152766367
Also find it funny they de aged charmcaster in the omiverse series she felt much more mature in AF but then years later looks somehow closer to og design
>>
>>152765236
NTA, but I'm honestly more forgiving of Charmcaster. While she did attack and fight Ben and Gwen, it never really felt personal; she fought them more because she had to (they got in the way). She was still a villain, but not as bad as Hex, and you never got the impression she necessarily wanted them dead, just that they'd fuck off and let her do her thing.

Kevin is the opposite. Kevin was a kid with a sympathetic origin, but proved in his debut episode that he was really just waiting for the means to act out his sociopathic fantasies. Kevin turning into a literal monster in his next appearance was just his outside changing to reflect what he was on the inside. Every time he appeared, he was given an opportunity to reform or redeem himself; instead, he got worse, hurt more people, and genuinely wanted to murder Ben, his grandpa, and Gwen (mainly Ben, though). Him showing up in Alien Force and just immediately becoming buddy buddy with the main characters despite all the wicked shit he did was beyond stupid. The series eventually tried to backpedal and have Ben try to kill Kevin, but it was too little too late, and ended up feeling painfully forced as a result.

It's telling that the reboot cartoon drastically toned down Kevin; not just because of standards and practices I'm sure, but because the original was an unrepentant monster.
>>
>>152766493
Did they ever give a actual reason for why they decided to have Kevin turn good in Alien Force?
>>
>>152766493
>Him showing up in Alien Force and just immediately becoming buddy buddy
Watching Alien force directly after the original gives me insane whiplash. Kevin did a 180 off screen, yet barely anyone cares. I don't even hate Kevin, I just think his development was half baked. The Highbreeds got more backstory then Kevin did. Perhaps some prologue or flashback episodes would have helped Kevin's character a lot.

Because he was like the rowdy ruff boys to ppg, even though he's only in like what 4 eps he's a massive fan favorite. Mostly because people sleep on it but kids having rivals their same age or around their same age is always interesting to young fans.

It's honestly hilarious how little he appears in OS but he had a strong presence
>>152766611
Older kevin is one of my fave characters but this is true he really felt like just a different guy. An feels like he is only kevin in name he's more of a loveable bastard. While young kevin was that schizo poor kid that would take you to see a dead body or played to rough. He was itching for ways to vent his issues and only focused on his worst tendencies. Him suddenly being more wise and learned worldy crook just doesn't fit him at all. Especially since last time we saw him was the null void and literally trying to help end the world that's a bit more than just being a Chunibyo

He shows up almost as much as Vilgax. The original series was not big on recurring characters.

Would be based if Hope starts of good and ends up going evil or she's a enemy agent that later becomes good. I just want hope to have a bit of moral complexity since she is the charmcaster stand in

The brighter colors do improve Gwen's look but the design is still bland compared to her OS character design. I'd prefer something that looks more like an aged up version of her OS design. Also not a big fan of the lips (even though I didn't have any problems with it in the OS adult Gwen design).
>>
>>152767040
That design looks boring though.
>>
>>152766835
>this is true he really felt like just a different guy.
Knew a dude who worked on the show. He was a different Kevin. You can read McDuffies original treatment on it but long story short Kevin was going to get split off from the monster he became in the OS via Ghostfreak fuckary which is why Kevin in save the last dance comments he "never liked that guy." Despite never seeing ghostfreak. Cartoon Network was cool with it until they weren't all of a sudden and they had to double back and jury rig Kevin's redemption an early arc was going to be Ben vs what would become Kevin 11k.

>>152767040
Beyond feeling that pink suited Gwen better and made her pop more, Kevin's electrical powers were going to play a larger role and you can't have two character shooting blue. Visually Glenn liked Gwen's Ben 10K design, hence the long hair, lips and more defined chin.
>>
>>152767104
>Beyond feeling that pink suited Gwen better and made her pop more
It doesn't and Duncan Rouleau agrees with me.
>Kevin's electrical powers were going to play a larger role and you can't have two character shooting blue
Kevin's transformations were generally more gray and dark blue while Gwen's magic was light blue.
>Visually Glenn liked Gwen's Ben 10K design, hence the long hair, lips and more defined chin.
You're talking about the 42-year-old Gwen design which I'm not a fan of. I like the 30-year-old Gwen design.
>>
>>152767154
I never said I liked the pink but frankly I think you're a faggot for caring this much. Just figured id give you some insight. Its really not that big of a deal.

Could you ask him to draw Charmcaster barefoot and 9 months pregnant with Ben holding her as her water breaks (which she looks embarrassed about). If that's not too much to ask?

>Will Lucy show up in the new comic?
MoA said they're pulling a lot out from all over the series and Lucy is pretty disproportionately popular aaannndd her sludgepupper self could lead to some cool visuals as the comic wants to go a darker tone.

I'd put her on Coopers level for returning.

But vilgax makes more since he was a over arching villian for like all of S1 then the forever knights. Kevin was more just a villain of week like animo
>>152767104
Huh weird Idk would need to see proof but sounds like a lot for the concept. Though makes a bit more sense if that was why new kevin was so under powered as well. Like literally dude went from hacking the omnitrix and becoming a vilgax tier brute to absorbing metal and rock. Though cartoon network fucking over crew isn't unheard of based on the childish ben stuff and other things I've heard they had to deal with from execs
>>152767154
>40s Gwen
Can we talk about this!!! I swear xitter has had a recent push for older gwen and they are pushing ponytail gwen hard. But lowkey she is like AF gwen to me not ugly but just ok like to basic she could almost be any girl. But 30s gwen had a fun vibe loved the witch/ninja vibe I felt as a kid loved gwen's design more than older ben as a kid because she had style

Then they drop that for a very basic school girl outfit in both AF and Omni, like not even themed after lucky girl designs until super late in omni verse

Also made me realize Kevin completely lost all his potential to be cute since we all know what older kevin looks like. Because come on imagine gwen or ben doing the treatment to kevin or play on boyishly cute kev 11 dude is much easier to make scenarios for than ben or gwen he was a homeless kid in new york who had gangs of bullies and street toughs after him. Anything could have happened to his ass before he got alien powers

Did people even care about Lucy prior to OV bringing her back (for two episodes)?

Someone must've cared, everyone is someone's favorite character, but overall, probably no, she was pretty niche, it was OV that made her more popular.

she's a girl and she was fun. Of course she had fans

>>152771963
I'm sure she had fans from her one appearance in the OS, it's just kinda hard to notice since anyone who cares about any girl from the OS usually just cares for Gwen.

What do you guys think of that shared universe plan that fell apart? Is it for the best that it never happened or would you have been interested? Besides Ben, it was going to be Secret Saturdays (which did happen), Generator Rex (It was going to be the same world originally), and Sym-Bionic Titan. There's also the two (?) attempts at a Gwen spin-off that failed to leave the early planning stages.
>>
>>152772964
I feel gwen spin failing was good as we saw they kind of didn't know how to write a older gwen. She really peaked in OS which is sad OS ben is my fave but each series had something fun and new that still kept me watching his growth.

Also think only one that wouldn't work is probably Rex as unless it's a prequel or distant future how do you explain evos. I think best route is parallel earths. But god damn the idea of a cool sqaud of them is epic as all these shows were peak in their own respect. Like idk if prefer teen squad or kid squad. as zack and ben have the best kid designs but then rex kid design was meh in 2016 and the sym bionic never had kid designs. But would be a fun movie or limited series for sure. But as a official verse it'd be so hard to keep continuity with rex but think saturdays would have been great add on as I always hated later series tried to explain away anything mystic or cryptid as muh alien like gwen's magic. So Having Zak canonize the more paranormal to the alien side and gwen handles magic you'd have a honest to god full squad then rex would cover the scientific abomination side as well so all sides of the classic paranormal/unexplained stuff covered

Its kind of weird bashing sequel series Gwen for "not being known what to be done with" to me when I'd argue that is like OS Gwen's entire character.

I like both designs and it's a little noticeable that she has a bigger chest in Ben 10 Omnverse, that said, the original series gave us this swimsuit, so, it's better in that aspect.

What are you talking about OS gwen did a lot and had a very fun character. I mean she introduces the magic section of the show, if anything they tried to lean to her being magic and then dropped it for her being a alien in AF and further. I don't see what was wrong with her OS role she was "big sister" or cousin and also was a bit of a rival to ben. Helped to keep him in line but also to be a partner in crime at times as well. I think she played this role great and becomes a fun side character in her own right.

>She was still a villain, but not as bad as Hex
Yeah, and somehow it was Hex who got redeemed (offscreen) while Charmcaster never did. But honestly, if you think about it, even Hex wasn't that bad. Don't get me wrong. He was still pretty bad. He was a ruthless, power-hungry villain who didn't hesitate to hurt children and innocent bystanders in pursuit of his goals. But he wasn't unnecessarily cruel and sadistic. Once he got what he needs, he won't endeavor to cause further harm. Like when he controlled the branches to capture Gwen so he can steal the charm of luck from her. He had a young girl who caused him a lot of trouble restrained upside down before him. She was completely helpless and at his mercy. He could've done a lot worse to her but all he did was take the charm and leave her there tied up suspended upside down. Then in another episode, he grabbed Gwen to take the Keystone of Bezel from her. But after taking her, he realized Charmcaster tricked her and already swiped the keystone from her, so he just let her go. So all in all, OS Hex was a villain, but he wasn't that evil. There were certainly eviler villains who, if they had Gwen in the same situation, probably would've tortured her and/or killed her.

I don't think they knew how to properly handle any of them as young adults, except maybe Kev who they just turned into a bro who bro'd out all the time. Ben being a bumbling doofus creating like 80% of the problems isn't nearly as funny or endearing when he's older

Idk if what I'm going to say is controversial or if it's the fan consensus; But Vilgax turned to shit after the original series. It really bothered me back in the day. Everything was worse, his voice, his design, his presence...
What were they thinking?
Also I still don't know if I prefer Blum's version or the Portuguese version. At first it being at a higher pitch bothered me, but it's grown on me after awhile.

I think ben was fine in og AF then in ultimate he became a overgrown brat and even in Omniverse they kept that going on as well. Just doesn't work and somehow even though he is older ben feels much younger than AF ben

>I swear xitter has had a recent push for older gwen and they are pushing ponytail gwen hard
There's just something about it that isn't appealing to me. I think it's the hairline.
>But 30s gwen had a fun vibe loved the witch/ninja vibe I felt as a kid loved gwen's design more than older ben as a kid because she had style
Seriously. That design is just perfect (even though I'd prefer her hair to be longer by at least a little bit). They already showed how to make the perfect aged up Gwen design on their first try and the later versions failed to replicate it.
>>
>>152777471
Yeah it's the "tight ponytail" it's a well known professional but kind of bad look. Why they always give it to girls to show how pretty the are by taking it off. An lowkey it's real irl remember a nerdy girl that had the tight pony tail then when she put it down she had cute curly hair that complimented her face. Like idk why girls use it it's a terrible hair style it pulls at their head and makes them look older

Also yep so weird like not like she's just god awful in others but you hit perfection why not keep the best. Literally just take elements of this one and give to teen gwen but instead they darkened her hair and gave her just long hair. She literally so generic in AF people mention she's basically just atom eve and they do have the similar red head school girl style in some scenes of invinicble

It was actually season 3 of AF that turned Ben into an obnoxious nitwit. It's hard to believe the Ben who displayed so much maturity in the Cash and JT episode (or plenty of other good examples like Alone Together or the episode about his date with Julie) turned into that Ben so quickly.
>>
>>152771388
>But vilgax makes more since he was a over arching villian for like all of S1 then the forever knights. Kevin was more just a villain of week like animo
Even though season 2 didn't quite have an overarching narrative the way season 1 did, it can be argued that Kevin 11 was the main villain of season 2.

It would make for an interesting dynamic which if feel could be explored more.

Hear me out, Imagine a Ben 10 movie that parodied Lolita with Ben taking the role of Dolores and Charmcaster taking the role of Humbert. This parody would most likely shift its focus, from the early build up to the road trip aspect later in the story. Gwen and Grandpa would be trying to get Ben back throughout the film, It could even end with Ben escaping and living a normal life with his spouse just like Dolores does at the end of Lolita. The two works make for a perfect juxtaposition, which could be used to achieve great comedic effect.

Can you honestly say that a Ben 10 parody of Lolita would not be great?
>>
>>152775798
Not a controversial opinion. Vilgax was at his most imposing in OS. He really did feel like the biggest threat in the universe.
>you had better be very sure
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kmAmd0_WN8
He got less and less intimidating as the franchise went on. Admittedly, it was exciting to see Vilgax return for the first time in AF, stronger than ever and setting up a direct on-on-one fight with an older, more experienced Ben who can now switch between aliens. Of course, the story needed to create a way to prevent Ben from just going Way Big on his ass.
>>

>Can you honestly say that a Ben 10 parody of Lolita would not be great?

Is that not the consenus on gwen's character in OS? also theirs a reason people even outside of /co/ still draw os gwen just aged up. She is the most iconic though would love to see more 30s gwen and love fun re designs but still.
>>152778297
Again was execs, they basically wanted kid ben and felt kids couldn't relate to a more mature serious ben. So suddenly he had to have the maturity and intellect of a child

I actually prefer young ben myself too maybe because we've kind of seen so much older ben and I'm a OSfag I'll admit to it. But even I still loved AF and the great growth of ben early on it truly was night and day as they slowly warped him into Ult and Omni ben who were just innane at times. Like how he treated julie was honestly so annoying, just for them to try and force him and kai together at least julie wasn't a alienfag why did he completely drop and mistreat julie when he was nervous to even talk to and date/freak her out early on. I could see a version of kid ben growing up to be that ben but not after we spent so much time with AF ben and his massive growth arcs and becoming a leader and hero on his own footing without grandpa or asmuth to guide him like before.
>>152778338
I thought it was the forever knights? also is kevin season 2, felt he was spaced out acrossed the series.But looked it up and guess all of kevin's secondary appearances were in S2 which is craze so can say he was the "soft" main villain of s2 as he just didn't have same build up as the knights or vilgax he very much was just destructive.

I feel another ep or two to truly build up and give him screen time and I'd agree but it is just 3 eps of s2 and vilgax kind of punks him during his last dance. But kevin was and always will be a fan favorite why as much as I like AF kevin I want another OS series of them the next summer or something so they can just drop some Later ben stuff like kevin not even being a mutant or alien just a experiment makes no sense.

>I thought it was the forever knights?
No, the Forever Knights only appeared once in season 2. In fact, Enoch only appears once each season, and in season 3, that episode was just a cameo at the end revealing he was behind the events of the episode. Completely unimportant to the plot. It could've been any villain and it wouldn't have changed a thing. Season 4 is the only one you can kind of say the overarching antagonist was the Forever Knights, but it's just Enoch being the main antagonist of the first episode which also sets up Driscoll as the Forever King in a short scene at the end. Then Driscoll only appears in the two-part finale (not counting the what-if final episode), which was honestly relatively weak. Secret of the Omnitrix makes for a much better finale and is technically the true finale. If I had to choose an overarching antagonist for season 2, it'd definitely be Kevin. All 3 of his main appearances after his introduction (and his actual Kevin 11 form) was in this season. Then in the season finale, he brings back Vilgax and teams up with him to fight Ben. Even though there isn't an overarching plot tying the episodes together, Kevin being an effective foil to Ben helps the season focus more on Ben's characterization. That's why I think it's important that the climax of the finale is Ben selflessly giving up the omnitrix to save Gwen after Kevin abducted her to hold her hostage.

But really feels like all of them had more episodes than they did, kevin vilgax and the knights. Hope the comics give each of them some love and fun redesigns since seems to be a major thing with this comic.

>>
>>152790197
>the Westermarck Effect is probably stronger.
By the time of the series they are too old for the Westmarck effect to develop. They're 10 years old at the start of the series and due to them not getting along in the first episodes, it is implied this is their first time being together for long periods of time. Having met just before puberty and having already left the stage of their life in which they imprint on family, It is highly likely that they would develop romantic feelings for each other.

You can't pretend the characters getting up to shenanigans while fighting evil would be the same with the premise of the MC getting groomed a la Lolita. That's not just a detail you can brush off.

We'll know when it comes out but anyone else get the feeling the comic's going to disappoint people since it's very much not going to be like the classic continuity? Especially any Reboot influence which is pretty likely.

Honestly I'm not sure what would make fans happy beyond returning to it since so much of what they enjoy is that original continuity. Then again, maybe I'm dooming for nothing since this is the first time it's really happening and Reboot's not the best reference for if fans would accept a new Ben 10.
>>
>>152795544
I feel like it'll be a decent comic for what it's worth but no where near as successful as they are hoping it to be.

Looking back on it, I hardly think it'll meet the standards of most fans given what we've already been given in past stories.
But it will be fine.

I'm just annoyed at how wonky the art looks so far.
The art is NOT bad, just a little awkward in terms of designs and stiffness.
They are going for what the Absolute DC comics run managed to do so...it works well enough.

Hopefully this will show people that Ben 10 can be more than just a fun kid's series from the 2000s to most people but I won't hold my breath.

>>152787627
Since she has control of her form, I suppose she made it like that on purpose

Maybe you're right and it'll work out decently enough. My concern's because most of what fans seem to like are the product of people like McDuffie and DJW. OS gets praise, sure, but a bunch of Man of Action ideas they wanted like antitrix Kevin aren't popular.

>>152797268
>Someone on Twitter claimed the other day that AF being so dark is a literal rendering error
Thats most likely true. If you take any episode from seasons 1-2 and crank up the brightness, saturation and gamma just a bit, its impossible to tell thats not its original look. Backgrounds are visible, characters are clearly defined, its almost like thats what it was intended to look like. Every other piece of media you do this to, will look visibly incorrect.

>>152797795
As far as design changes in OV, this is the one i mind the least. It makes her look visibly more alien since purple is not a natural human eye color. Plus it is easily explained lore wise by her being able to shape shift and as such she is able to choose her form.

Some people really like that type of relationship and find it endearing, something about constant bickering yet having each others back deeply appeals to a lot of people. It’s not for everyone, so I understand why you didn’t like it.

Bwen shippers are quite a diverse bunch, the ship appeals to many people for many different reasons. This is a bit of a simplification but, I would say there are two primary groups of Bwen shippers aside from all the other small fragmented sects. Those who are projecting their IRL incestuous feelings onto cartoons and those who see how Ben and Gwen work together as a couple irrespective of their shared blood. Personally, I fall into the second group. Something about how Ben and Gwen both got partners at the start of Alien Force and rubbed many the wrong way. I would say how fan shipping was quelled kind of remind me of Siegmund’s and Sieglinde’s relationship in Richard Wagner’s opera, “der Ring des Nibelungen.” They are kin who haven’t seen each other in a long time and when they meet they fall into deep romantic love before being ripped way from each other. In both stories the couple’s relationship is destroyed by the intervention of a higher force, in Wagner’s story Wotan and in Ben 10 by the writers. The show pairing Ben with character he doesn’t care much about or that don’t care much about him like Julie or Kai further reinforces the idea that Gwen was his fated love.

Ben is far too handsome to self insert as effectively.

>but not as bad as Hex,
Charmcaster was worse. Unlike Hex, she actually did enjoy tormenting the Tennysons with her tricks, but as soon as she was alone with Gwen, she pulled out the story about her mean old uncle making her do this, playing nice until stealing the Keystone and giving it right to Hex, which in itself was a ploy to take the power of the ritual from him. It didn't feel like rightful retribution, just her being cunning and playing a long game as part of the twist revealing how she's actually a more significant villain who appears in more episodes further on. I think that also fit with Don't Drink the Water where she casually teases Hex as a baby, holding a position of power over him. She also tries to kill Ben and Gwen, unlike Hex, and even succeeded at one point in UA.
>>
>>152797795
Her original design was really just a Girl Naruto expy. Makes sense that they would want to redesign Lucy to look more distinct, and being a canon shapeshifter also helps.
>>
>>152802178
Man, I know the reboot Kevin was technically closer to the original concept for the character, but what we actually ended up getting became an iconic part of him, just as much as the Omnitrix is for Ben, changing that so he can be a different font of Albedo sucks imo.
Also, I really hate the idea of Kevin building his own omnitrix on Earth and also somehow being able to modify the aliens on it, that just tells me that the Omnitrix is either really easy to replicate, or Azmuth is just an idiot.
Also also, I have the suspicion they just gave Kevin his own watch and his own unique aliens so they could sell more toys.

Not necessarily, I think she just wanted to mix her magic with his alien powers, at no point Ben was stated to have some innate magic potential like Gwen.
Still very fucked up tho, the fact that she was completely willing to basically lose her actual body for power, fucking crazy.

The order's original, Alien Force, Ultimate Alien, and Omniverse. Be sure to include the movies even the live action ones that are semi-canon. I'm not sure what episodes to slot them between off the top of my head though.

You're probably fine watching the episodes in whatever order you're using. The only one to be careful about is Omniverse, look up the production order instead of the airing order. The airing order for OV's a bit screwed up and jumbles story arcs.

>Doing it for a kids show is impossible.
What if it wasn’t for kids? If someone watched Omniverse in 2012 and were 8 years old they would be 22 years old now. Pretty much all Ben 10 fans are adults unless they became fans due to the reboot and even then they would still be teenagers. The reboot aimed at targeting a younger audience, why not try the opposite and make a story aimed at a more mature one?

>You can't pretend the characters getting up to shenanigans while fighting evil would be the same with the premise of the MC getting groomed a la Lolita. That's not just a detail you can brush off.
You’re right, but my idea wasn’t to brush it off. It was to integrate it into the narrative.

>Handling this topic with care while also using it for comedy is already a very difficult and tricky task.
Satirising evil is a pretty common media trope, even the movie adaptations of Lolita did this.
The
“Are you Quilty?”
“No, I’m Spartacus! Have you come to free the slaves?”
Scene at the start of the 1962 movie comes to mind.

>>152781635
>You american-type with your appy endings!
Dolores Haze didn't get a happy ending and she wasn't a seductress.
^I read this in a French accent. You’re right, Delores wasn’t a seductress and I don’t think her being portrayed as such was a good move for the movie adaptation’s. But, the movie adaptation’s of Lolita was what I was basing my Ben 10 idea off, as I believe the lighter and less depressing tone better suites Ben 10 better than the original novel.

I think my idea could be quite popular as evident by many of the posts on this thread, such as:
>>152807429

If any fan fiction writers see this, feel free to use my idea.

I actually don’t ship Ben and Charmcaster. I know I used pro Ben x Charmcaster posts to reinforce my belief that there was a strong audience for a Ben 10 Lolita, but that was not in support of a potential relationships between them. It was instead to show that people want to see more content of them interacting together.

Ben would escape Charmcaster’s grooming, not succumb to it. If I did ship Ben and Charmcaster and Ben, why would I insist on them not ending up together or refuse to giver her a redemption?

Admit it, Benson. The idea is great.

as if there aren't many people who still romanticize Lolita. Intent and themes don't matter when shippers and fetishists have the convenient ability to ignore all of that if it gets in the way. They'll happily take more interactions and interpret it however they want.

I feel like kev's mutant aliens would work better in the comic's artstyle than Ben's. He'll, wildvine even looks more like thornblade.

>>152810292
I know it's because he wasn't in omniverse, but Jeffrey was a uaf alien.
>>
>>152766304
>>152803125
The biggest problem for Ben x Charmcaster isn't the age gap (if we use UAF or omniverse ages) but that they have no dynamic to speak of, so almost everything about the ship has to be headcanon or made up. Ben x Lucy actually has more to work with.

Sadly true, but true for most media. “Come and See” is an 1985 soviet film about the horror of war, yet I am sure there are fetishist who’s only take away is finding the scene with the girl bleeding post rape hot. You can make a point incredibly clear, yet it is impossible to force it on a viewer. After all you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink.

>Still defeats your point to use them as examples when you even admitted yourself that what you're proposing is the opposite of what they want.
Had I not used those examples would my idea have more merit? In hindsight I admit I shouldn’t have use them because it gave off the wrong idea. Which I didn’t intend.

Might I ask, what changes would make this pitch acceptable in your eyes? Perhaps shifting the story to more closely follow “The Abduction from the Seraglio” indeed? with Ben being Konstanze, Charmcaster being Belmonte and grandpa being Osmin? But that would require changing who Charmcaster, Grandpa and Ben are as people quite heavily and would become a Ben x Charmcaster shipper’s dream story.

Anyone watch that CG movie Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens? How is it? Is it worth it? Seems pretty cool that they revisited OS after UAF (but before Omniverse). They even brought back the OS voice actors.
>>
>>152810653
It wasn't my cup of tea, but it's pretty well regarded amongst fans. Some of the scenes are pretty cool, especially the ones with the vulpimancers. If you like it, i suggest you check out race against time aswell. its live action and very cheesy but i have warmed up to it over time. The acting is pretty bad, but the actors do fit their roles quite well. Gwen feels like Gwen and Ben like Ben. I would say its so bad, its good in a way.

Find someone who looks at you the same way Lucy looks at Ben. I unironically think Ben/Lucy would mog the shit out of Ben/Gwen if they former had more than 3 episodes together. There is so much you could do with it.
>>
>>152811051
Charmcaster's personality isn't anywhere close to Gwen's. Why not just make Ben and Gwen not related instead? It would be easier and would likely be the least controversial change in the series.
>>
>>152811113
I know/co/ isnt going to like this opinion but making Ben and Gwen not related to pair them up means destroying a perfectly fine ship in Gwen/Kevin and for what? Its easier to fix the issues Ben and Charmcaster and/or Gwen and Kevin would have then it would be to justify Bwen after almost 20 years.
>>
>>152811097
Out of all the OV girls Ben could have ended up with Kai was literally the worse one.
>if the former had more than 3 episodes together.
I don't know why they brought back a 1 episode unnamed OS character just to barely have her in the series. Massive wasted potential.
>I unironically think Ben/Lucy would mog the shit out of Ben/Gwen
Partially, OS Gwen? Fuck no. Gwen in every other series? Zero diff.
>>
>>152811148
If you want to continue the story where Omniverse left off (but before he gets with Kai), than this is a perfectly good take. Charmcaster getting a redemption similar to Kevin could work. Since Omniverse's timeline technically ends with Ben and Kai married, any other ship would require lots of rewriting and retconning the destiny aspect of Ben and Kai out of the show.

I suggested Ben and Gwen not being related in a possible series which follows an earlier timeline. Hope, I cleared up any confusion.
>>
>>152811176
Lucy zero diffs OS Gwen too. She has the advantage of incest and a personality that actually plays off ben. What she lacks in generic tsundere shit she would make up in fish out of water cuteness.
>>
>>152811406
>She has the advantage of incest and a personality that actually plays off ben.
Ben and Gwen had perfect contrasting personalities, Ben was crude and rough while Gwen was composed and intellectual. There is no chance they weren't tongue wrestling (extra sloppily) anytime they were alone in the Rustbucket.

Also, Im sorry to break it to you but Ben and Lucy aren't related. they're cousins in law, they share no blood. Never the less, I do think Lucy was probably the best possible partner for Ben in OV.

They weren't though I know you guys like to force it but the idea that Ben and Gwen would do anything bit vomit at the thought of kissing one another is wish fulfillment at best. Bwen is character wise a catch 22.

That's how they would like to appear, but deep down it's clear they desire each other carnally. As much as two ten year olds can of course.

There's just not that much to talk about with the Reboot. It's more episodic than even OS and it's not a good reboot, it expects you to already be familiar with the characters from much better shows.

It's not as bad as people make it out to be after the 1st season or so but it never reaches "good". I'd struggle to come up with a list of 12 things worth talking about in it.

The reason exists but I don't think it's a good reason. They had no problem retconning other things from the pop-up trivia but for some reason, Ben marrying Kai is the one thing they had to keep. They didn't have to stick with it. The prime timeline already deviated from the original Ben 10k timeline when Ben 10k gave young Ben the cake for Grandpa Max's birthday. Too much has changed. Kevin is still evil in the original Ben 10k timeline. Kai was the worst choice. It's insane that Omniverse immediately ruins Ben's relationship with Julie in the stupidest way just so Kai can happen.

You know, Ben 10 and a fair chunk of Canadian/French cartoons (ie Team Galaxy, Amazing Spiez) really do come quite close to anime in regards to animation style. Very limited animation, lots of cheap tricks at play, the staff actually understood the assignment (I know it was Koreans).
Makes the constant talk of Avatar being anime all the more baffling, that show is animated identically to a standard western cartoon.

Yeah, Race Against Time is super cheesy and good lord is the acting terrible (expected from child actors in a made for TV movie), but they did get Ben and Gwen right.
>And even though most of the time, I'm afraid that if people find out we're related, they'll think I inherited your stupid gene, but you're still my ferret-faced, hammer-headed cousin. And I love you, Ben Tennyson, 'cause you're a hero. And you've never given up on anything in your life.

Even Rouleau said that Charmcaster was meant to be Gwen's dark reflection.

>>152815718
I think Charm would scold him for his stupidity, and then show him the "proper way" (only to fuck up because she has terrible luck). So Gwen with a twist.

>>152815615
It would never work. Despite the memes, Ben really hates Charmcaster. Gwen is more empathetic and trusting of Charmcaster than Ben. Like if they run into Charmcaster, and she's not doing any overtly villainous shit, Ben's first instinct is to shift into Wildmutt and try to bite her head off, while Gwen's is to glare and ask "What are you doing here".

I still like the personality clash and dating Catwoman aspect of Ben and Charmcaster though.

The fact that she concocted an elaborate plot to seduce Morningstar, not because she liked him but just because Gwen was crushing on him, encapsulates everything about their rivalry.

I like her being a spiteful bitch than the original series changing who she was every couple of seasons.

>>152816594
I say it cause if you combine AF and UA, it's the era that lasted the longest and had the most episodes, not counting the Reboot, but we all know that isn't that popular.
Also, a lot of people jumped ship at the end of UA, OV was REALLY hated at first.
The OS is still seen as the best version of Ben 10, but UAF was when Ben 10 was at it most culturally relevant.

The black sheep of the original canon then, the Reboot is usually seen as its own separate thing (which it is) so it's generally not talked about as much, while UAF was the face of Ben 10 for a long time and it's impossible to ignore, so the super fans are specially critical of it, usually for good reason.

The show doesn't play too much into it, but it would explain why she gives him way more chances than anyone else.

>Some anons want justify their incest shipping by pretending Ben and Gwen had some deep, complex relationship and not the bog standard siblings who fight all the time like relationship that was common at the time.
I feel bad for anons who never shared saliva with their cute cousins growing up. Without that critical childhood experience, they develop bad takes like this.

Alien Force was top 10ing on on of the streaming services back when you could find it in the us. I feel like people really overestimate how popular the OS was.

The new Ben 10 comic is generating some negative reactions so far but how about the other comics like the Cartoon Network Action Packs or the Korean one? Have you read them?
>>
is reboot 10 worth watching.
>>
>>152818413
Haven't watched it, but if you crave for more Ben 10, particularly a modern and different take on the franchise, might as well give it a try.
That's why I plan on watching it at least.

At best It's got a hand full of good moments here and there some new villains and aliens i'd like to see brought back, but it's not worth the slog I only watched it for the sake of completionism

I think most just hate that it retroactively has made old kevin nicer, the fun of him was being a full on sociopathic kid with powers basically the opposite and antithesis of ben. Basically a ben bad end in a way, him suddenly being blushy and crushing over a girl and trying to be nice or just a soft bad boy ruins the fun
>>
>>152819675
I'm sure it was already said somewhere in the thread, but at the time it was just such a complete 180 in both personality and design I thought dude was an entirely new character when I first saw him in the show.
>>
>>152819675
Honestly even as a kid I thought treating Kevin as an irredeemable monster was weird.
It was like the writers forgot he was meant to be an 11 year old kid and decided he was on the same level as Vilgax.
>>152819812
Same, but I got into it after a while.
After all, he already he already spent his childhood as a psychotic evil criminal and got locked up into the hell jail dimension, I'm not too surprised he mellowed out a bit as he grew up.
>>
>>152819934
The problem for me was they didn't show the development or any hint of him thinking about changing in OS, nor did they give a slight flashback in UAF or AF if I remember right. He's just suddenly there after him and Ben were at each others throats nearly killing each other. It wasn't till OV that they addressed this massive plot gap.
>>
How did Ben never think to use Grey Matter to unlock master control when even Ken thought of it? He also didn't think of using Brainstorm in AF when they were trying to unlock master control to prepare for Vilgax. Is it just easier to unlock master control on the omnitrix Ben 10k created?

They actually did have a few flashbacks later in UA iirc.

It's just kind of a cheap solution to the problem.
>>
>>152820722
Fair enough it has been awhile since I watched UA. Still took them a series to get to it, but I will concede the thought did cross there mind that Kevin suddenly becoming a good guys was jarring.

I understand, Kevin turning good does seem a bit jarring, but you also gotta remember there are 5 years between the OS and AF, that's a lot of time, it's not really sudden in-universe.

The length of the time skip doesn't matter when the reason given is so retard.
"Nu uH Kevin was always a good boy it's just his powers that turns into a murderess sociopath so he has to be a pussywhipped jobber from now on"
>>
>>152820738
Introducing that as a possibility just creates even more problems, i.e. the questions I asked.
>>
>>152821176
Well, that's on them for introducing the idea in the first place.
I always thought it was kinda dumb.

I think an entire Ben 10k spinoff series would be great as long as they stick closer to the original portrayal instead of the future installments (and no Kai).
>>
>>152821281
>no Kai
Would you really prefer no Kai at all instead of them attempting to redeem the character?
I say this as someone who hasn't even watched OV btw, I've heard that she's by far the worst love interest, but surely she could have some potential, right?
>>
>>152761519
I'm assuming maybe around issue 40 if ever, she might get more fleshed out and might even become a permanent member, her species seem like a great cosmic horror chance and an addition to the omnitrix will be great, as by issue 40 I believe ben will have gotten a few new additions to the omnitrix by that point
>>
>>152821281
Ben 10k is too powerful to be the protagonist, and don't trust the writers to be able to come up with villains that can challenge a Ben with full control over his powers and 10,000 aliens at his disposal, in the original episode Ben 10k made quick work of Vilgax, and that was the real Vilgax not the fraud from the sequels.
The only villain that challenged him was Kevin 11k and even that ended the moment he went Way Big on him.
>>
>>152821538
Ben 10K would make money from the gimmick of him using so many random aliens, the actual plot would be the characters, but people wouldn't want to see that
Also in the original episode Vilgax was beating Ben up pretty badly, he had a counter for "all of his aliens"

Seems that UAF made some changes from OS that fans didn't like. OV tried to remedy some of that and make it closer to OS but all that did was add more changes that fans didn't like. It's easy to see why despite it flaws, OS is still treated as sacred by the fans.
>>
>>152821353
You could retcon it and give Ben 10k a different love interest/wife or make a new continuity. But I don't see why he needs a love interest in the first place. Just don't address it.
>>
>>152821538
>>152821543
The only reason Ben 10k was challenged is plot. Realistically nothing can threaten him. He's confirmed to have powerful aliens like Way Big and Atomix which he isn't shown using (except at the end against Kevin 11k). The only way to justify this is to say he's intentionally going far below his full power (maybe because of collateral). Even if Vilgax somehow does have a counter to all his aliens like he claimed, he still doesn't have a way to win the fight. And any credit Vilgax may have gotten for giving Ben 10k some trouble in the beginning of the fight instantly goes away when Ben 10k reverted back to human and made a fool out of him.
