Trust us, this is Ben's favorite alien.
No, don't bring up how he didn't exist in the past three shows, or how other aliens can do energy/electric shit, just roll with it.
Ben 10
He has a cool design
Didn't they eventually explained what his deal was?
TL;DR
made OG Ben feel strong (like a drug high)
an OV villain took/sealed it away
Ben got it back and used it to defeat the same villain years later
Everything after OG was complete shit.
yeah ikr
OG was complete shit
cool alien design
Ben...
The angle of "Ben's favorite alien was destroyed due to his own impulsive arrogance." angle was on paper a great idea, but in practice it simply can't work. Ben's actual favorite alien, Fourarms, is way too popular to kill off even temporarily. Not helped by the writers using him as a crutch far too often.
Ok but why the hell the show has so many electric aliens?
At first they reused a villain as minor alien for Ben 10K and wanted Ben to turn into monsters so that explains itself (Honestly by monsters, there was already some overlap, like wolf to Wildmutt and mummy to Wildvine) Alien Force just remixed all aliens. But they when they wanted to give Ben bunch of elemental aliens, they came up with some really creative guys, they were smart enough to make radioactive heat alien instead of third fire guy and still they just made jellyfish electric powers.
And from there it gets really random because they decided to shove new alien into Gen Rex crossover and really best they had was yeti with electric powers? And then came Omniverse where they wanted to make a big push for a huge new alien and what they came up with? Well, at least Feedback has a specific idea for him to fill out some niche so he's not just another thunder guy. He's also Chromastone replacement.
And then reboot again decided to make a big push for new guy and well, you know.
Shut up fags
Not helped by the writers using him as a crutch far too often.
I wonder if they realized to when coming up with pic related. It's kind of ingenius combining both of Ben's go-to aliens into for an alternate version's gimmick.
Needs to be said

Yes omniverse is kino but basing the entire emotional pay off of a season on a retcon is not nice.
Still, i enjoyed it.
Lol, lmao
Omniverse handles a lot of Pre-OV things weirdly.
Everything before AF is boring.
What do we have here~
Only good post itt, OP and his bots ought to delete themselves. OG is soul
Everything after UAF was shit.

I thought all the series were pretty equal in quality when you take everything into consideration.
Could have been the best if it came out in an era that allowed plot lines and character growth. I look forward to the upcoming comic combining all the series together more cohesively.
combining all the series together
How dreadful
Man shut the fuck up. "Character growth" my ass
The OS did a few things better then future series, character and storylines weren't two of them. Not really the fault of the OS, you only had 3 characters to work with only two of which would have been relatable to kids.
OV kind of screwed the pootch lorewise for all its main characters, Ben, Gwen, Kevin and Max all get a lot of extra contradictory backstories now.
I see a lot of opportunities to incorporate things people enjoy about all the series into one continuity. You can fix a lot of problems some fans have with each series by having hindsight.
I'd rather just let the franchise die off instead of watch it get ruined even more.
You say that as if this is a Star Wars situation were the OS is held in such a high regard compared to UAF and OV.
incorporate things people enjoy about all the series into one continuity
Eh, that can run the risk of being too fanficiony. While the franchise is sorely lacking in cohesion, I kinda don't want my peas in my potatoes, if you know what I mean.
I kind of don't considering a lot of peoples over all gripes about each series comes from minor largely inconsequential retcons and artstyle, two things that can be fixed with a reboot.
Reboots are dogshit anon and nobody can do'em any justice, especially these days.
No point in not hoping for more good Ben 10 stuff, even the reboot was pretty good after it found its footing.
