Cut content from this video: right after I talk about how the Omnitrix is the perfect tool to get Ben to stop seeing himself as the center of the universe, I had an extra line where I say- “If anything, what convinces Azmuth to let Ben keep the Omnitrix should be Ben’s display of empathy not just for other humans, but for other aliens while in one of his alien forms, proving that Azmuth’s original vision for the Omnitrix- works. Ben 10. should be about. empathy.” I wish I could have kept it in, but it wasn’t matching up very well with the background music, was making the video even longer than it is, and given the massive workload of hand drawn stuff I put on myself, I’m also kinda glad I left it out.
so for the toolbox what should the original 10 be 1 heatblast 2 waterhazard 3 xlr8 4 arms ;) 5 diamondhead 6 goop 7 greymatter 8 jetray who are the other 2? (also isnt jetray too op for the original 10)
This franchise isn't perfect but I agree with you on the fact it's got a so much potential. If we could have a Ben 10 series that's allowed to grow and change I think the series would be goated.
I would add that Gwen also have an episode or two herself and how she grows as a character. Such as after Ben realises Heroing while it can be fun is just as much a Burden then anything else, a title and weight you must carry. Her realising that her cousin has changed and how hard a Hero can be. I.E Lucky Girl, I always enjoyed Gwen as Lucky Girl but I feel like there could be more. Her finding ways to help when she feels useless is also a good thing I want her to do. If she can't fight she can be a support. And if nobody else can fight she'll find a way to work around it. Learn to fight uphill like Ben learns.
As someone who absolutely adores the classic series of Ben 10, I dig a lot of what you’ve presented here. I was just expecting this to be an overlay of the story and events across this show, but I was pleasantly surprised with the direction you went instead. I like how your version has a lot more emphasis on character development and especially mapping out the various lessons Ben can learn over the course of the series. I can even see this being integrated in a way that can still have the show play out in a semi-episodic manner without resetting Ben’s personality every time. That said, I have a few disagreements. For one, I don’t know if I’m comfortable with the Plumbers becoming corrupt. I think just a small division, like the Rooters idea you mentioned, could work, but the Forever Knights already fill that niche of “Evil Plumbers”, so I feel that might be a bit thematically redundant if handled incorrectly. I’m also on the fence about the casting choices. On the one hand, I understand where you’re coming from when you say that the actors aren’t getting any younger, and it’s not the end of the world since this is meant to be a new interpretation of the franchise instead of a revival of one of the old shows. On the other hand, I believe some voice actors should reprise their roles, particularly Steve Blum as Heatblast and Vilgax, but just the ones that still have the chops to return. And some of them might want to come back anyway, so I don’t see why some old actors shouldn’t come back. Overall, this has a lot of potential and I wouldn’t mind seeing this get made. Any new Ben 10 content is a bonus in my book as long as it’s not trash, and this is… well, not trash! Great stuff 😊
I like how he doesn't make ben re-learn lessons, but I think he exaggerated some of Ben's flaws at the start. one of the first things ben thought of when he got the omnitrix was that he could help people, and when vilgax's drone attacked, Ben said "Those people are in danger because of me!" showing that he is willing to take responsibility for his screwups from the start. Ben had heroic qualities from the beginning, and I think this rewrite takes away some of that idea.
Really like the ideas here, but one thing that kinda gets me is premise of Ben growing. It's done great here, but Ben 10 Alien Force Seasons 1 and 2 did at least try to do it throughout the Hybreed War, with him being a leader. THEN Season 3 threw it out. Though I really enjoyed the video apart from that. Also love that Kamen Rider Z-IO Reference
I'm personally more into not changing voice actors because I feel like things sound weird when voice actors change but I think it's awesome that you know voices so well that you can imagine people in the role.
Personally, I wanted Ben 10 to keep going where it was. Omniverse didn't "end" really, it got cancelled. The final season was supposed to be a road trip or something. I liked how big the world had gotten. I just think Gwen, Kevin, and Max worked better with Ben than Rook.
I like the idea of it being revealed that master control wasn't actually a thing. That the only thing preventing Ben from switching forms on the fly or staying alien for longer than 10 minutes is his ability to put himself in other peoples shoes.
there is 1 thing i would advice to take from the Reboot Ben & Gwen's relationship they bicker like kids, but are much closer and supportive of each other
I like the idea of villains representing Ben's worst traits but tell me what worst traits does highbreeds represents of Ben's, they are basically space Nazi & Ben in no conditions would try or want to cause massive genocide.
really interesting video! i love the (emotionally) realistic scenarios that you put ben in to learn life lessons, like a REAL kid. those are my favourite types of episodes :-)
I think an interesting angle would be a coming of age story where Ben tries acting more mature than he really is and turning into his alien forms are Ben's way of expressing his true self and becoming who he really wants to be inside. Oh wait, that's just the plot of FLCL, kind of. But then again, I imagine my personal Ben 10 series to be a little FLCL inspired.
Gotta admit I love your ideas! Only tidbit I’d make would be that if Curse Breaker is added, he should instead be a student of Charmcaster’s. This way his immaturity is more warranted, and he’d be more likely to cause havoc or even take some of Charmcaster’s belongings. I completely agree that Gwen should be magic, rather than an anodize. I’d definetly make Phil the head of the Plumbers, or the Rooters. Or have Phil work for the Forever Knights, since they’re more xenophobic. Perhaps even going as far as placing control collars on captured aliens so that if the Knights need to instill fear into the public on aliens, they can just as easily release an alien, make them cause havoc as a result of the controls while the Knights detain them. I’d wanna say they’re rather effective. I’m talking about as effective as the police force from Teen Titans Trouble in Tokyo in detaining the green beast. This way it does make the Knights’ presence more known, but also restricts Ben in what he wants to do or say. And it would also allow for Will Harangue to make a debut, regarding how dangerous aliens are, based on Ben’s transformations. Ben shouldn’t just be understanding that some aliens are imprisoned, just for being aliens. I’d like to argue that some aliens, depending on their morality, are evil. Let’s say Ben gets captured as Fourarms and has tech developed to restrain him. Say a pair of cuffs that pull harder the more he tries to pull. While Ben would be aware that it was cruel, even he would have to admit that said cuffs would be useful to restrain Volga’s or even Kevin. So perhaps we have Ben keep the pair to serve as a reminder as to what he went through, as well as have him as Greymatter or Max in the background work on reverse engineering them. I’d have this in the background, as well as have an episode or two revolving around gathering materials or blueprints on them in order to demonstrate the significance. The payoff would be the modified cuffs being used on an alien that the trio can’t stop on their own. They should only be used when no other choice is left, and we have Ben argue for that since he knows how restricting the cuffs were. So he almost never uses them unless he has no other choice.
I would have the Plumbers be somewhat under Vilgax's thumb since he'd want them to make him an army by pretending he's a concerned citizen on Earth that wants to protect his homeworld, that or have Psyphon fulfill that role but still get the idea that they're being lied to by what could be an even bigger menace for the humans to unite against outside themselves, showing the tentacled terror is more than just brawn with robot parts grafted onto his squid-like body.
How I write an Ben 10 Cartoon: Creating a Ben 10 spinoff series for Toonami (Adult Swim)and Max (formerly HBO Max)that 10 years after the original trilogy and Ben is an experienced adult balancing an full time hero and becoming an first time father.
honestly as a Ben 10 fan your idea is pretty cool. I enjoy this direction you took though I feel one character they kind of appeared could be interesting to delve into...and that is Argit. In the actual franchise Argit is a friend Kevin found when he was at his low but is slowly brought up more and more as Kevin reforms. I think for this vision you could make Argit and Kevin's relationship a parallels to Ben and Grandpas. Just age him up and make him slightly sleezey due to growing up in a bad environment, but this leads to him not being the best parent to look over Kevin. I wouldn't say you should make their relationship toxic but more like a unprepared brother looking out for his younger brother. Then as Kevin becomes more of a supporting person to Ben it could cause Argit to improve more and more and become a better person through Kevin. I feel it could be fun and could allow them to demonstrate other family dynamics outside of a semi normal one that Ben, Gwen, and Grandpa showcase.
Your Ben 10 reboot ideas are Awesome can you do a video about the episodes in Detailed like episode 1 2 & 3 & The Gwen 10 episode & the Eon episode I would love to see that 👍
Not gonna lie, I'm really a fan of a lot of these ideas, and I would love to see them in another Reboot. I'm a huge fan of Verdona, so having her in this is awesome, and having Ben get an Anodite transformation is equally as cool. This is just a suggestion, but I feel in the later seasons, you could introduce some weaker or "useless" to show Ben that not every alien in the Omnitrix is this super cool combat ready powerhouse like Heatblast or Diamondhead. I would personally pick an alien like Bob The Blob or Walkatrout to fit this role or maybe a different alien entirely. I love these ideas. I'm a massive Ben 10 fan (Alien Force and Omniverse are my fav series), so seeing all of these brilliant concepts brings such a smile to my face. I have a few questions if you're okay with answering them: 1: What would Ben call his Anodite transformation, and would you change up its abilities? 2: What are the first 10 and additional aliens? 3: Are their any aliens abilities you would change?
With the evil Plumbers, it would be interesting if it was only the Plumbers on Earth. In the original canon, the Plumbers were created by the Galvans to act as a kind of Green Lantern Space Cops group. For the rest of the universe, you could have a united Plumbers group that acts like how we know Plumbers. In Omniverse that is retconned as George Washinton creating the Plumbers after watching future Ben fight Vilgax. So maybe there's this story of how the Lantern-esque Plumbers land on Earth to expand their operations and deal with alien criminals and they work with Washinton to create a branch of Plumbers to work on Earth. But as time goes on, humans become more xenophobic leading to a split. The larger "main" group of Plumbers (called the Rooters) are xenophobic and maybe work with the Forever Knights to lock up aliens in Area 52. But there' still this small group of Plumbers that work against the Rooters and actually stayed true to what it means to be a Plumber. Maybe Grandpa Max was part of this smaller group.
Very interesting rewrite. I especially like that you make Ben grow as a character with each of his adventures and that Vilgax (at least from what I get from the images you showed) is essentially Homelander but even worse due to being much more powerful and without any of his humanizing traits. Some of my personal ideas for a rewrite of Ben 10 are: - The Anodite form is a magical transformation achieved through special training with magic. - The Plumbers do exist, but Max is not part of them, with him never having had anything to do with aliens in the past. - Kevin initially is a villain who uses his powers to run illegal businesses, but after a long time he redeems himself and decides not to bother the Tennysons or anyone else. As for the voice cast, these are all my ideas so far: Child voice actors as Ben Tennyson, Kevin Levin and their alien forms. I just think having child playing child roles is so much more natural than having an teen/adult in that role. As for their alien forms, it's basically still them but in other forms, so why not? I'm pointing out that in the alien forms, the actors' voices get modified via programs specifically for it. Child voice actresses as Gwen Tennyson and Charmcaster. Exact, same reasons for my choices for Ben and Kevin, only as female now. Fred Tatasciore as Grandpa Max. I think the voice he used to voice Master Shifu in Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness suits Max very well, especially since Shifu and Max are the wise mentors of the main protagonists of their series. Tom Schalk as Vilgax. He voiced Omni-Man and Megatron in Death Battle. That's all I need to say.
I still say Glitch Tennyson is my favorite character in the whole franchise. Glitch's personality is him being smart, mature, cautious (although he will gladly fight head on when needed or when someone messes with Ben), polite, sarcastic, mischievous(which shows that despite how smart he is and mature he is compared to his brother he still is a child.), kind, is hard to scare (contrary to belief he does have fear.) and hotheaded, ps this isn't Glitch's full personality, there is stuff I probably missed or can't remember. (in other words he his not exactly like Ben *neither original Ben or reboot Ben although original Ben and reboot Ben aren't to different* but isn't the opposite of them either and the same applies to the Gwens, the closest he is to in personality are reboot Ben and og Gwen and even then he is pretty different from them to the point that he is his own complete character personality wise. plus his ability to assimilate DNA from the omnitrix and fuse it to whatever tech he is upgrading is awesome. Plus his design is pretty cute (and it would be awesome to get some clothes that his brother doesn't have.). Not to mention Glitch's abilities work perfectly with Ben and his omnitrix, him basically being Ben's half twin brother just has so much potential for both Ben and Glitch. Plus Glitch's design represents both galvanic mechomorphs and humans pretty well and does look like a mix of the species. Also malware would be a great villian for Glitch. Also the Reboot is way better then some fans think it is. It sucks that Reboot had him stuck as a car for most of the series for some stupid reason. Also the reboot has already done some of the stuff you mentioned in this video. Oh and the Ben 10 2016: reboot Ben is voiced by Tara Strong just like classic Ben.
at first I thought this was a joke but as I keep reading I'm now learning that Glitch Tennyson is an actual character from what I'm assuming is the reboot lol. I have not watched any of the reboot besides the first episode but this is good to know and it's nice that the show has continued to introduce characters that reflect/foil Ben's character.
@@Lavapasta yeah. Especially since Glitch considers himself and Ben as brothers. I think you would kinda like how the reboot handles Kevin's character arc by the way. I would recommend watching the season 1 finally, some season 2 episodes that involve the omni-enhancements and shock then the season 2 finally, most of season 3 & 4 and of course the vs the universe movie.
This is my idea for Glitch in this concept series: Instead of Glitch being a combination of Ben and Upgrade, he's the Omnitrix's AI created using Ben's DNA
Underrated vid(deserves more views)fr, wish this idea could be turned into a full-fledged cartoon, it would be cool if u could create more vids sharing ideas(ur ideas are cool) like this more often
I love most of your ideas. Also 2 random questions: 1. How come people get annoyed when characters relearn the same lesson ? Don’t people in real relearn the same lesson as well ? 2. What do you think of aliens like Swampfire Big Chill and Echo Echo ?
I know I’m not the OP, but I’m in agreement with 1. Some people do fall back into old habits, and Ben was a 10 year old kid. Kids make mistakes. I think what they meant was just how much Bens character reset over the classic series. He’d learn the same lesson like 3 episodes in a row, which got old, but for it to happen once in a while makes sense for a kid. As for the aliens, some of them really did just flat out replace older ones. Ditto and ripjaws especially got the shaft as their replacements had Al their power (duplicates and water breathing) none of their weaknesses (shared pain and super dehydration), and something else on top of that (sonic screaming and literally anything besides being ripjaws) for all grey matter was made out to be useless, their intelligence and abilities to roam largely undetected would have been useful in far more moments than the mere 3 or 4 episodes they came in clutch. It’s understandable your going to have some overlap in abilities, lots of species in real life are like that, but to have one alien outright replace another goes against what azimuth made the omnitrix for. Every species is useful, is valuable, is important.
Feedback at the centre of an original series would be amazing I don’t think we saw enough of him in omni verse if I had my own Ben 10 show these would be my 10 aliens I think Ben needs in the story -heat-blast -xlr8 -diamond head -four arms -big chill -feedback -shock rock -upgrade -slap back -overflow In season 1 I would have gax as alien 10 but a similar thing would happen how vil takes bens alien and becomes vilgax Shock rock and feedback would be the focus aliens Shock rock would be more serious and stronger than he was in the reboot Throughout every season heatblast , shock rock , xlr8 , four arms , diamond head would be the only aliens in every season
I would also rewrite on why he took off the Omnitrix. Maybe it malfunctions and causes Ben to be trapped in his own amalgam form and this traumatizes him enough to take off the Omnitrix. With him finally realizing the true danger of the Omnitrix itself and not just seeing it as a way to become a hero. He would learn the downsides and retire to take a break and try to cope with the fact that he was an alien monster for a few hours. In my eyes THAT should have BEN the main reason why he took off the Omnitrix, it was the watch itself that was the reason.
Well, feedback getting killed technically counts as a malfunction, and considering how important it was to ben, it makes sense he'd be traumatized from it and want to take off the omnitrix
thats true, I'm mostly just doing this to express myself and have fun. I don't think I'm a big time writer or anything I'm just trying to be more constructive and doing this has given me more appreciation for all the artists and writers who make more ambitious projects than this on a full-time basis.
I written a cinematic series of ben 10 about 2 years ago that follow what Vilgax said in his episode: a cosmic war with ben in the middle of it by having the Omnitrix. Ben's dad would talk about Max hardly being in his childhood (do to working for the newly built plumbers and going under cover as a forever knight for 2 years), Kevin goes to Animo so he can make Kevin an Omnitrix that could hold and control his alien mutations, the galactic enforcers as a part of the plumbers working to help star systems with the war between Vilgax with Psyphon, vulkanus with the weapon masters, the Incurseans with their way bad army, Aggregor and the plumbers working with the galactic tribunal. at the end of a season ben have to leave earth for years due to the forever knights reveling ben's identity.
you know,on my main channel i am working on a ben 10 fan series.already written episode one,but ill use classic series formula and your ideas too,this show rewritting is good,ben still messes with the omnitrix since he found out how to switch alien in episode 5 when he is heatblast and almost falls on his friend but his friend hits the dial.
Good ideas but i see them a little repetitive I mean,if EVERY villain is just a mirror,the villains cant have thrir own growth,wich makes them plain and a little boring. It would make Ben seem the center of the universe
True.there’s potential for growth in lots of villains too, not just Kevin Albedo can start off as the arrogant and envious assistant of azmuth with the root of his problems stemming from not wanting the burden on a child. He likely heard from azmuth a lot about how he has made terrible weapons and created many great things that the world was not ready for, and the universe was certainly not ready for the omnitrix let alone a child. As he goes on he grows to respect Ben and what he does with the watch, finally believing Ben not just worthy, but ready. I also had an idea where Ben dies (rip majoras mask) and albedo uses his omnitrix along with other things (ectonurite dna to retain consciousness, dna repair gun to fix body, maybe an alternative Ben as a base) to bring Ben back to life. Since you had Attea encounter Ben as a kid, you could have it start as her taking advantage of him to try to overthrow her father, but his acts of empathy for all life have a lasting effect on her. She succeeds in overthrowing her dad but after seeing Ben and in denial of her own empathy she goes full throttle in the other direction and becomes a totalitarian dictator, and like The Star Wars Empire or Azula, does bad things to her own men for the smallest infraction. He people overthrow her to put her father back on the throne. She goes back to Ben for help, but this time, she returns to the Incursion Empire embracing her empathy rather than suppressing it
Tbh, some of my favorite villains are ones that contrast with Ben, Like vilgax having far more control over his powers, unlike the reckless young ben, Or as simple as steam smyth's "past was better" thing, that contrasts with ben stylistically too
Lavapasta: **doesn't want aliens that outright power-creep previous/other aliens' abilities** Also Lavapasta: **suggests Jetray as one of the aliens to include in this hypothetical reboot**
would you like to collaberate to make this happen at some point as with my animation and your writing i think we could make this ( NOT THE CELEBRITY VOICE CAST THO OBVIOUSLY)
Seriously, give Scottie Ray's performance as TMNT '03 Shredder a listen and tell me it doesn't scream EVIL. It's like Steve Blum's take on OG Vilgax dialed to 11.
I like most of the points you made, except for that Alien X part. You know, it's not really a good idea to give a young Ben Tennyson the most powerful species in the universe. It kind of invalidates most of Ben's aliens if he has that guy and his Omnitrix available. I would rather Ben did not have Alien X, rather he had Way Big or, better yet, Atomix, or even better, give him The Worst.
9:21 and wodul be ironic if charmcaster and cursebreaker have more healty family reliationship than ben and gwens like situation where THE VILANS of episode are in some compasity right not the heros
I always think ben 10 needs to be retold, but using specific things and concepts put into the other 4 series and doing something like in naruto/naruto Shipudden, avatar character development, kid cosmic lessons in heroism, Introducing aliens as in Valerian or Starwars and using the mystery that the first series created about the Omnitrix
I like your idea for alien x’s voice. Kinda like mewtwo in detective pikachu, who was voiced by the male and female mewtwo voice actors, and the guy possessing mewtwo
If i worked with cartton network on this cartoon i would put it on adult swim cause then it can get more real with the story and i don't think it would be him be selfish why not he regrets his selfish side and wants to be better but his guilt doesn't go away it stays he has just become a little better but he still regrets it.
Dude, I Think you should work at Cartoon Network, Because Everybody Never Seen More Upcoming Ben 10 Projects, at least HBO Max or Duncan Rouleau maybe show you writing.
I get it why you want ben to learn and understand but there a thing about ben understanding people fear but the problem is that he afraid of clowns yes in the original ben 10 he has a fear of clowns which is like his main fear of until he gets older has not been fear him anymore and also Gwen also can be mostly jerks not just Ben himself
Yeah, I get that. I too think it's important for Ben to overcome his fear of clowns and for Gwen to be the jerk at times, that's why I said that Charmcaster and Hex should be a reflection of Gwen's worst traits such as being condescending or judgmental. I think every member of the main trio could go through their own arcs of character growth- Grandpa's story could be about fighting the corrupt Plumbers systems he helped build, and Gwen's story could be about learning to be kinder with her words & not see herself as being above "immature kids" like Ben.

Having Mike's actor voice Max is something I would never get over
"Ben.. Don't steal the ice cream Ben.. Put it back.."
This is an incredibly inspired take, wow! I think your version of the show would definitely be my favorite.
I would add that Gwen also have an episode or two herself and how she grows as a character. Such as after Ben realises Heroing while it can be fun is just as much a Burden then anything else, a title and weight you must carry. Her realising that her cousin has changed and how hard a Hero can be. I.E Lucky Girl, I always enjoyed Gwen as Lucky Girl but I feel like there could be more.
Her finding ways to help when she feels useless is also a good thing I want her to do. If she can't fight she can be a support. And if nobody else can fight she'll find a way to work around it. Learn to fight uphill like Ben learns.

It would be too late at this point, the Creators want to do new things with the brand, and they should be allowed to.
@@christianvondruska8244 That didn't go well.
Why is there a divide between the two teams? The trio + Rook is easily and objectively the best ben 10 team.
@jackdap615 So you don't want Max?
I like the idea of it being revealed that master control wasn't actually a thing. That the only thing preventing Ben from switching forms on the fly or staying alien for longer than 10 minutes is his ability to put himself in other peoples shoes.

No problem.
Imagine using alien X after he thinks his grandfather died, and he is alien X in depression to try and bring him back
there is 1 thing i would advice to take from the Reboot
Ben & Gwen's relationship
they bicker like kids, but are much closer and supportive of each other
Personally, I would have their relationship start like it did in the OS, then gradually develop & grow into what it was in the Reboot.
I really hope that the next ben 10 series will be just like this guys concept
Personally Ben would not think that all aliens are bad I think that was kind of stupid
I agree

Loved ur analysis. Ur so good at storytelling and I wouldn't mind you rewriting other famous shows in ur prospective. Keep it up💖💯

I’d agree with Heatblast played by Zeno Robinson
I like the idea of villains representing Ben's worst traits but tell me what worst traits does highbreeds represents of Ben's, they are basically space Nazi & Ben in no conditions would try or want to cause massive genocide.
Your concept is actually pretty good and I'd definitely want to see it more than the new reboot. CN is missing big-time for not hiring you, lol.
look i don't have any personal issues with you
i hate people criticising both omniverse and reboot
i got tired of the hatedom towards both the shows
really interesting video! i love the (emotionally) realistic scenarios that you put ben in to learn life lessons, like a REAL kid. those are my favourite types of episodes :-)
I think an interesting angle would be a coming of age story where Ben tries acting more mature than he really is and turning into his alien forms are Ben's way of expressing his true self and becoming who he really wants to be inside. Oh wait, that's just the plot of FLCL, kind of. But then again, I imagine my personal Ben 10 series to be a little FLCL inspired.
15:55 that hit's different.
Gotta admit I love your ideas! Only tidbit I’d make would be that if Curse Breaker is added, he should instead be a student of Charmcaster’s. This way his immaturity is more warranted, and he’d be more likely to cause havoc or even take some of Charmcaster’s belongings. I completely agree that Gwen should be magic, rather than an anodize. I’d definetly make Phil the head of the Plumbers, or the Rooters. Or have Phil work for the Forever Knights, since they’re more xenophobic. Perhaps even going as far as placing control collars on captured aliens so that if the Knights need to instill fear into the public on aliens, they can just as easily release an alien, make them cause havoc as a result of the controls while the Knights detain them. I’d wanna say they’re rather effective. I’m talking about as effective as the police force from Teen Titans Trouble in Tokyo in detaining the green beast. This way it does make the Knights’ presence more known, but also restricts Ben in what he wants to do or say. And it would also allow for Will Harangue to make a debut, regarding how dangerous aliens are, based on Ben’s transformations. Ben shouldn’t just be understanding that some aliens are imprisoned, just for being aliens. I’d like to argue that some aliens, depending on their morality, are evil. Let’s say Ben gets captured as Fourarms and has tech developed to restrain him. Say a pair of cuffs that pull harder the more he tries to pull. While Ben would be aware that it was cruel, even he would have to admit that said cuffs would be useful to restrain Volga’s or even Kevin. So perhaps we have Ben keep the pair to serve as a reminder as to what he went through, as well as have him as Greymatter or Max in the background work on reverse engineering them. I’d have this in the background, as well as have an episode or two revolving around gathering materials or blueprints on them in order to demonstrate the significance. The payoff would be the modified cuffs being used on an alien that the trio can’t stop on their own. They should only be used when no other choice is left, and we have Ben argue for that since he knows how restricting the cuffs were. So he almost never uses them unless he has no other choice.
3:31
"And I have no intention of changing that."
And that's right about the time I clicked off.
Love to think of the original series was serialise, but had a bit of filler, but it didn’t always reset Ben’s character until season three
Great video, concepts, art and music!
I would have the Plumbers be somewhat under Vilgax's thumb since he'd want them to make him an army by pretending he's a concerned citizen on Earth that wants to protect his homeworld, that or have Psyphon fulfill that role but still get the idea that they're being lied to by what could be an even bigger menace for the humans to unite against outside themselves, showing the tentacled terror is more than just brawn with robot parts grafted onto his squid-like body.

How I write an Ben 10 Cartoon:
Creating a Ben 10 spinoff series for Toonami (Adult Swim)and Max (formerly HBO Max)that 10 years after the original trilogy and Ben is an experienced adult balancing an full time hero and becoming an first time father.
honestly as a Ben 10 fan your idea is pretty cool. I enjoy this direction you took though I feel one character they kind of appeared could be interesting to delve into...and that is Argit. In the actual franchise Argit is a friend Kevin found when he was at his low but is slowly brought up more and more as Kevin reforms. I think for this vision you could make Argit and Kevin's relationship a parallels to Ben and Grandpas. Just age him up and make him slightly sleezey due to growing up in a bad environment, but this leads to him not being the best parent to look over Kevin. I wouldn't say you should make their relationship toxic but more like a unprepared brother looking out for his younger brother. Then as Kevin becomes more of a supporting person to Ben it could cause Argit to improve more and more and become a better person through Kevin.
I feel it could be fun and could allow them to demonstrate other family dynamics outside of a semi normal one that Ben, Gwen, and Grandpa showcase.
Your Ben 10 reboot ideas are Awesome can you do a video about the episodes in Detailed like episode 1 2 & 3 & The Gwen 10 episode & the Eon episode I would love to see that 👍
Not gonna lie, I'm really a fan of a lot of these ideas, and I would love to see them in another Reboot. I'm a huge fan of Verdona, so having her in this is awesome, and having Ben get an Anodite transformation is equally as cool.
This is just a suggestion, but I feel in the later seasons, you could introduce some weaker or "useless" to show Ben that not every alien in the Omnitrix is this super cool combat ready powerhouse like Heatblast or Diamondhead. I would personally pick an alien like Bob The Blob or Walkatrout to fit this role or maybe a different alien entirely.
I love these ideas. I'm a massive Ben 10 fan (Alien Force and Omniverse are my fav series), so seeing all of these brilliant concepts brings such a smile to my face.
I have a few questions if you're okay with answering them:
1: What would Ben call his Anodite transformation, and would you change up its abilities?
2: What are the first 10 and additional aliens?
3: Are their any aliens abilities you would change?
For anodite Ben maybe Manafest
To reference the retcon, but still fitting for Ben because puns
I would want Ben to try and redeem albedo
With the evil Plumbers, it would be interesting if it was only the Plumbers on Earth. In the original canon, the Plumbers were created by the Galvans to act as a kind of Green Lantern Space Cops group. For the rest of the universe, you could have a united Plumbers group that acts like how we know Plumbers. In Omniverse that is retconned as George Washinton creating the Plumbers after watching future Ben fight Vilgax.
So maybe there's this story of how the Lantern-esque Plumbers land on Earth to expand their operations and deal with alien criminals and they work with Washinton to create a branch of Plumbers to work on Earth. But as time goes on, humans become more xenophobic leading to a split. The larger "main" group of Plumbers (called the Rooters) are xenophobic and maybe work with the Forever Knights to lock up aliens in Area 52. But there' still this small group of Plumbers that work against the Rooters and actually stayed true to what it means to be a Plumber. Maybe Grandpa Max was part of this smaller group.
I WANT THIS REAL HELP ME
WELCOME BACK
they focused too much on how ben’s Arsenal grew and now enough on how HE grew
They made the classic & deadly "toyetic show" mistake of prioritizing the TOY SALES over the actual CONTENT.
Very interesting rewrite. I especially like that you make Ben grow as a character with each of his adventures and that Vilgax (at least from what I get from the images you showed) is essentially Homelander but even worse due to being much more powerful and without any of his humanizing traits.
Some of my personal ideas for a rewrite of Ben 10 are:
- The Anodite form is a magical transformation achieved through special training with magic.
- The Plumbers do exist, but Max is not part of them, with him never having had anything to do with aliens in the past.
- Kevin initially is a villain who uses his powers to run illegal businesses, but after a long time he redeems himself and decides not to bother the Tennysons or anyone else.
As for the voice cast, these are all my ideas so far:
Child voice actors as Ben Tennyson, Kevin Levin and their alien forms.
I just think having child playing child roles is so much more natural than having an teen/adult in that role. As for their alien forms, it's basically still them but in other forms, so why not? I'm pointing out that in the alien forms, the actors' voices get modified via programs specifically for it.
Child voice actresses as Gwen Tennyson and Charmcaster.
Exact, same reasons for my choices for Ben and Kevin, only as female now.
Fred Tatasciore as Grandpa Max.
I think the voice he used to voice Master Shifu in Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness suits Max very well, especially since Shifu and Max are the wise mentors of the main protagonists of their series.
Tom Schalk as Vilgax.
He voiced Omni-Man and Megatron in Death Battle. That's all I need to say.
Lavapasta I love your videos man I'm working on my own comic if you would like to review that would be awesome
I still say Glitch Tennyson is my favorite character in the whole franchise.
Glitch's personality is him being smart, mature, cautious (although he will gladly fight head on when needed or when someone messes with Ben), polite, sarcastic, mischievous(which shows that despite how smart he is and mature he is compared to his brother he still is a child.), kind, is hard to scare (contrary to belief he does have fear.) and hotheaded, ps this isn't Glitch's full personality, there is stuff I probably missed or can't remember. (in other words he his not exactly like Ben *neither original Ben or reboot Ben although original Ben and reboot Ben aren't to different* but isn't the opposite of them either and the same applies to the Gwens, the closest he is to in personality are reboot Ben and og Gwen and even then he is pretty different from them to the point that he is his own complete character personality wise. plus his ability to assimilate DNA from the omnitrix and fuse it to whatever tech he is upgrading is awesome. Plus his design is pretty cute (and it would be awesome to get some clothes that his brother doesn't have.). Not to mention Glitch's abilities work perfectly with Ben and his omnitrix, him basically being Ben's half twin brother just has so much potential for both Ben and Glitch. Plus Glitch's design represents both galvanic mechomorphs and humans pretty well and does look like a mix of the species. Also malware would be a great villian for Glitch. Also the Reboot is way better then some fans think it is. It sucks that Reboot had him stuck as a car for most of the series for some stupid reason. Also the reboot has already done some of the stuff you mentioned in this video. Oh and the Ben 10 2016: reboot Ben is voiced by Tara Strong just like classic Ben.
at first I thought this was a joke but as I keep reading I'm now learning that Glitch Tennyson is an actual character from what I'm assuming is the reboot lol. I have not watched any of the reboot besides the first episode but this is good to know and it's nice that the show has continued to introduce characters that reflect/foil Ben's character.
@@Lavapasta yeah. Especially since Glitch considers himself and Ben as brothers. I think you would kinda like how the reboot handles Kevin's character arc by the way. I would recommend watching the season 1 finally, some season 2 episodes that involve the omni-enhancements and shock then the season 2 finally, most of season 3 & 4 and of course the vs the universe movie.
This is my idea for Glitch in this concept series:
Instead of Glitch being a combination of Ben and Upgrade, he's the Omnitrix's AI created using Ben's DNA
Underrated vid(deserves more views)fr, wish this idea could be turned into a full-fledged cartoon, it would be cool if u could create more vids sharing ideas(ur ideas are cool) like this more often
I love most of your ideas. Also 2 random questions:
1. How come people get annoyed when characters relearn the same lesson ? Don’t people in real relearn the same lesson as well ?
2. What do you think of aliens like Swampfire Big Chill and Echo Echo ?
I know I’m not the OP, but I’m in agreement with 1.
Some people do fall back into old habits, and Ben was a 10 year old kid. Kids make mistakes. I think what they meant was just how much Bens character reset over the classic series. He’d learn the same lesson like 3 episodes in a row, which got old, but for it to happen once in a while makes sense for a kid.
As for the aliens, some of them really did just flat out replace older ones. Ditto and ripjaws especially got the shaft as their replacements had Al their power (duplicates and water breathing) none of their weaknesses (shared pain and super dehydration), and something else on top of that (sonic screaming and literally anything besides being ripjaws) for all grey matter was made out to be useless, their intelligence and abilities to roam largely undetected would have been useful in far more moments than the mere 3 or 4 episodes they came in clutch.
It’s understandable your going to have some overlap in abilities, lots of species in real life are like that, but to have one alien outright replace another goes against what azimuth made the omnitrix for. Every species is useful, is valuable, is important.
this video reflects almost all my opinions back at me and i love it
This may sound weird, but I would have Roger Craig Smith play Grampa Max
Feedback at the centre of an original series would be amazing I don’t think we saw enough of him in omni verse if I had my own Ben 10 show these would be my 10 aliens I think Ben needs in the story
-heat-blast
-xlr8
-diamond head
-four arms
-big chill
-feedback
-shock rock
-upgrade
-slap back
-overflow
In season 1 I would have gax as alien 10 but a similar thing would happen how vil takes bens alien and becomes vilgax
Shock rock and feedback would be the focus aliens
Shock rock would be more serious and stronger than he was in the reboot
Throughout every season heatblast , shock rock , xlr8 , four arms , diamond head would be the only aliens in every season
You got me excited for something that isn’t coming out
Hey Lavapasta you can talk to the creators of Ben 10 amount of action the group if they let you give them your ideas.
I would also rewrite on why he took off the Omnitrix. Maybe it malfunctions and causes Ben to be trapped in his own amalgam form and this traumatizes him enough to take off the Omnitrix. With him finally realizing the true danger of the Omnitrix itself and not just seeing it as a way to become a hero. He would learn the downsides and retire to take a break and try to cope with the fact that he was an alien monster for a few hours. In my eyes THAT should have BEN the main reason why he took off the Omnitrix, it was the watch itself that was the reason.
Well, feedback getting killed technically counts as a malfunction, and considering how important it was to ben, it makes sense he'd be traumatized from it and want to take off the omnitrix
@@minestar2247 true, and this comment is old and my opinions have changed :/
W! Ben getting an Anodite form, and having him team up with Gwen 10 and different versions of him is w writing
I would love to see this reboot happen the next Chapter in the Ben 10 Franchise if you ever get the chance to make this happen do it 👍
Saying how to will write a show is one thing, actually writing a show is a other.
thats true, I'm mostly just doing this to express myself and have fun. I don't think I'm a big time writer or anything I'm just trying to be more constructive and doing this has given me more appreciation for all the artists and writers who make more ambitious projects than this on a full-time basis.
Cool ideas!
I written a cinematic series of ben 10 about 2 years ago that follow what Vilgax said in his episode: a cosmic war with ben in the middle of it by having the Omnitrix. Ben's dad would talk about Max hardly being in his childhood (do to working for the newly built plumbers and going under cover as a forever knight for 2 years), Kevin goes to Animo so he can make Kevin an Omnitrix that could hold and control his alien mutations, the galactic enforcers as a part of the plumbers working to help star systems with the war between Vilgax with Psyphon, vulkanus with the weapon masters, the Incurseans with their way bad army, Aggregor and the plumbers working with the galactic tribunal. at the end of a season ben have to leave earth for years due to the forever knights reveling ben's identity.
i saw your tumblr post and i would say that would be interesting ben learning empathy .
you know,on my main channel i am working on a ben 10 fan series.already written episode one,but ill use classic series formula and your ideas too,this show rewritting is good,ben still messes with the omnitrix since he found out how to switch alien in episode 5 when he is heatblast and almost falls on his friend but his friend hits the dial.
Your taste in music is great
Good ideas but i see them a little repetitive
I mean,if EVERY villain is just a mirror,the villains cant have thrir own growth,wich makes them plain and a little boring.
It would make Ben seem the center of the universe
True.there’s potential for growth in lots of villains too, not just Kevin
Albedo can start off as the arrogant and envious assistant of azmuth with the root of his problems stemming from not wanting the burden on a child. He likely heard from azmuth a lot about how he has made terrible weapons and created many great things that the world was not ready for, and the universe was certainly not ready for the omnitrix let alone a child. As he goes on he grows to respect Ben and what he does with the watch, finally believing Ben not just worthy, but ready. I also had an idea where Ben dies (rip majoras mask) and albedo uses his omnitrix along with other things (ectonurite dna to retain consciousness, dna repair gun to fix body, maybe an alternative Ben as a base) to bring Ben back to life.
Since you had Attea encounter Ben as a kid, you could have it start as her taking advantage of him to try to overthrow her father, but his acts of empathy for all life have a lasting effect on her. She succeeds in overthrowing her dad but after seeing Ben and in denial of her own empathy she goes full throttle in the other direction and becomes a totalitarian dictator, and like The Star Wars Empire or Azula, does bad things to her own men for the smallest infraction. He people overthrow her to put her father back on the throne. She goes back to Ben for help, but this time, she returns to the Incursion Empire embracing her empathy rather than suppressing it
True, not every villain needs to be a "mirror," but they should definitely be in some way relevant to Ben's/Gwen's/etc.'s character arc(s).
Tbh, some of my favorite villains are ones that contrast with Ben,
Like vilgax having far more control over his powers, unlike the reckless young ben,
Or as simple as steam smyth's "past was better" thing, that contrasts with ben stylistically too
I really hope this gets adapted
It should be an anime
Lavapasta: **doesn't want aliens that outright power-creep previous/other aliens' abilities**
Also Lavapasta: **suggests Jetray as one of the aliens to include in this hypothetical reboot**
11:48 within the first few minutes i thought, this sounds a lot like a Kamen Rider characterization/premise.
This idea is awesome
I think this series should add extra characters like Original Series Aliens like Upgrade, Grey Matter, Wildvine and more!
What the heck CN, WHY WONT U HIRE THIS GUY
Nice work
Keep going
would you like to collaberate to make this happen at some point as with my animation and your writing i think we could make this ( NOT THE CELEBRITY VOICE CAST THO OBVIOUSLY)
Well, I could’ve charm Cass to have older siblings, honestly, or just simply use her uncle or cousins
You know what I wish for if they ever decide to make another Ben ten reboot is for Ben to have a dragon type alien🐉
I think the Omnitrix should have had a universal translator so he could double as an ambassador around the galaxy
It does have a universal translator
Scottie Ray (TMNT '03 Shredder) playing Vilgax.
Seriously, give Scottie Ray's performance as TMNT '03 Shredder a listen and tell me it doesn't scream EVIL. It's like Steve Blum's take on OG Vilgax dialed to 11.
I like most of the points you made, except for that Alien X part. You know, it's not really a good idea to give a young Ben Tennyson the most powerful species in the universe. It kind of invalidates most of Ben's aliens if he has that guy and his Omnitrix available.
I would rather Ben did not have Alien X, rather he had Way Big or, better yet, Atomix, or even better, give him The Worst.
I think combining both Lyoko Gem's Ben 10 version and Lavapasta's Ben 10 into one
Have all the episodes connect together to make it feel like an overarching story
Amazing video
Keep it up
9:21 and wodul be ironic if charmcaster and cursebreaker have more healty family reliationship than ben and gwens like situation where THE VILANS of episode are in some compasity right not the heros
Yeah, it could be a really funny dynamic.
I had to do a double take the second i saw feedback
I always think ben 10 needs to be retold, but using specific things and concepts put into the other 4 series and doing something like in naruto/naruto Shipudden, avatar character development, kid cosmic lessons in heroism, Introducing aliens as in Valerian or Starwars and using the mystery that the first series created about the Omnitrix
The art style in this video reminds me of the Sonichu comic, lol. Felt nostalgic
Were those aliens under eon’s control
And I also want it to the dragon type alien to have four transform
Kinda like what simulator to Digimon
When change from Champion to Mega level
You should team up with The guy from The ink tank You know that channel that's talking about Ben 10 and Mayde a show and beyond 👽💓
I like your idea for alien x’s voice. Kinda like mewtwo in detective pikachu, who was voiced by the male and female mewtwo voice actors, and the guy possessing mewtwo
Grandpa max old voice actor should voice vilgax as well
I would like collaborate with you to make our own cartoons and share our ideas.
And it would be so cool to see that Alien go from a little dragon to a super Big dragon warrior kight 😺
Would you give your show a movie or a couple movies?
Show
@@emmil8788 ??????
I but I prefer Ben as his old self but with a bit more character development and not like avatar the legend of aang
@@emmil8788 same.
14:55 Where did you get those clips from?
Annodite transformation name: Astar?
11:49 Kamen Rider Zi-O jumpscare
For sure bro 😎
If i worked with cartton network on this cartoon i would put it on adult swim cause then it can get more real with the story and i don't think it would be him be selfish why not he regrets his selfish side and wants to be better but his guilt doesn't go away it stays he has just become a little better but he still regrets it.
Ben 10, my favourite!
Dude, I Think you should work at Cartoon Network, Because Everybody Never Seen More Upcoming Ben 10 Projects, at least HBO Max or Duncan Rouleau maybe show you writing.
I get it why you want ben to learn and understand but there a thing about ben understanding people fear but the problem is that he afraid of clowns yes in the original ben 10 he has a fear of clowns which is like his main fear of until he gets older has not been fear him anymore and also Gwen also can be mostly jerks not just Ben himself
Yeah, I get that. I too think it's important for Ben to overcome his fear of clowns and for Gwen to be the jerk at times, that's why I said that Charmcaster and Hex should be a reflection of Gwen's worst traits such as being condescending or judgmental. I think every member of the main trio could go through their own arcs of character growth- Grandpa's story could be about fighting the corrupt Plumbers systems he helped build, and Gwen's story could be about learning to be kinder with her words & not see herself as being above "immature kids" like Ben.
