    I love how people get mad at Bloxx but there are iced cream people, living tools, walking talking clocks, cables, etc. I'm just saying, there are some very crazy concepts in Ben 10, I don't get why everyone goes after Segmentasapiens specifically.

      Valid, but none of those things you mentioned are actually branded objects, bloxx being the only alien that’s based on a specific brand of product and that’s why people didn’t like it, if it was based on other construction materials then people most likely won’t have a problem with it

    See I was working with a different hypothesis. The color like that would attract mates with the cost being that they can’t hide in the mountain. And Ben being peak human specimen that he is, would be having that colorful display on his Bloxx transformation. On the other hand, someone like Gwen would be having a more muted or “natural color” Bloxx to hide in the environment better. But that’s just me.

      Well, the Omnitrix always transforms you into the peak of a chosen Species, so Gwen would have the same coloration if a segmentasapiens' coloration isn't explicitly sexual Dimorphism.

    I can't believe you made an entire video about Bloxx while also completely ignoring the fair amount of lore we actually know about his species
    "Segmentasapiens evolved to hide by blending in with the structures on Polyominus, so it is known that their architecture resembles modern Segmentasapiens"
    "During at least one point in its history, Polyominus was threatened by constant invasions, which led to the Segmentasapiens being forced to adapt to all types of warring conditions.[OV Brief 1] Polyominus boasts some of the most ancient architecture in the universe. Many beings in the galaxy consider it to be a ghost planet, for there has been no noticeable indigenous life found on Polyominus for millennia now. A secret that few off-worlders are ever made privy to however, is that all of the eerily abandoned, medieval-style walled cities on Polyominus are the planet's lifeforms: Segmentasapiens, who evolved this ability to hide in plain sight from invaders.[OV Brief 1]"
    "Being organosillicon-based life forms with segmented hardened quasi-organic polymer skin, Segmentasapien's bodies are made up of individual blocks that they can rearrange at will.[DJW 1]"

    I agree with a lot of the points you made here! The way I imagine them to function, and in their native environment, is quite a bit different though. My headcanon says that they come from a planet with drastically different terrain, where most of the planet's surface are either mountainous, or sheer canyons. This would create high winds and atmospheric pockets of dense and violent weather. To adapt, Bloxx's species have interlocking, but closed internal systems within their anatomical frame. That way if they suffer a bad fall, they can just replace the components they lost with new ones they grow. As far as colors go, I think it would be cool if their environment was based off of the rainbow mountains in Asia, or the various layers of colored clay deposits in badlands.

    2) similar to zebras whose black and white stripes make a herd look like a large creature. Bloxx's people could do the same to there predators having there similar body shapes and miss mass of colours could confuse certain Predator species making them think that the bloxx are a much larger creature than they actually are.

    There's one thing about the 'lungs' of Bloxx... There might be none. Having a nose and mouth doesn't say you have lungs.
    Sharks have a mouth and a nose (one of the best in the animal kingdom in fact) but no lungs- they breathe through their gills.
    And a different example is Whales, they have no nose but lungs.
    My theory is that Bloxx breathes through the black 'cracks' on his body in a way similar to Insects.

    I remember reading on the wiki that there is actually some lore for Segmentasapiens. Apparently their homeworld was being constantly invaded and they had to adapt to look like buildings and walls to survive.
    That said, this never came up in the show. It might be legitimate lore from people behind Omniverse or it might be something a fan made up that nobody ever double checked. I know that happened at least 2 other times on the Ben 10 wiki, with Whampire's homeworld and Cooper's middle name.
    Now as for why Bloxx looks like a lego gorilla, Ben's Bloxx may just take on a form that makes intuitive sense to Ben. They're a race of shapeshifters afterall, there's no reason we know of they have to be gorilla shaped. This headcanon also extends to Goop and to a lesser extent Upgrade.
    As for the color scheme, we do know that not all segmentasapiens take on the same primary color mishmash Bloxx has. Ben 23's Bloxx is made entirely of various shades of blue. Granted, aliens from other timelines do tend to have some shades and colors that aren't present in the prime timeline so this may just be a Dimension 23 thing.

    Blox is one my favorite aliens, he’s got such a unique and creative power. We’ve seen aliens that alter their shape; goop, sludge puppies, upgrade. But an alien that can do that and is still a solid? And totally made of segmented parts? Just a fantastically inspired design.

    The studs on the hands could also be explained as catchers,
    Pertrusions which main function is to provide an obstacle for attacks that slide along the surface,
    This was historically used by humans for human on human combat.
    Mostly in Europe because swords were particularly common
    And swords were most easily caught by weapons designed to counter edged weapons and immobilize/disarm the user,
    The most glaring problem with this theory is that the one on his head makes him more vulnerable
    As it extends his hitbox with no benefit to himself.

    We don't know what Bloxx's homeworld looks like. Just because Earth is brown and green doesn't mean every planet looks like that.
    I personally like to imagine Bloxx's world is made of Legos, with Lego trees and Lego water, like in the Lego movie. It's all plastic, inhabited by animals that are plastic and eat plastic. And it's all bright primary colors. So Bloxx's colors may be for camouflage.
    Upgrade sticks like a sore thumb on our planet, but on his he would blend into the surroundings.

    The artist MisakaLovesYou made my favorite fan redesign of Bloxx that made him look a bit mor stone like with carapace like connecting points. It might be why I prefere to think they are a naturally evolved species bizzare as they are to be. A bunch of these roaming living fortresses that can build societies out of their own people. They could've played around with the idea a lot more for certain though I understand why fans were might bot have had the patience

    Close as I can see the 5YL redesign stems from Kuro and/or Ash thinking his original design was too toyetic. I personally like Bloxx a fair amount even if it isn't my favorite, but it's fun to see alternate takes on his designs and powers nonetheless.

  • @ultimofox7006

    I imagine Bloxx lives in a Homeworld that looks entirely like the background to this video, and they evolved as shapeshifters to camouflage, but after becoming the dominant species on their planet they just fuck around. They probably build their homes by shapeshifting their arm into a house and then disconnecting their arm and now they have a house. Their gorilla-like anatomy is then fine because they don’t really need to wield complex tools.

    So, according to the Ben 10 wiki, Segmentosapians evolved in response to near-constant invasions of their homeworld. To avoid detection they would transform themselves into the architecture of their planet so they could remain hidden in plain.
    What if Segmentosapians originated from highly robust cuboidal colonial organisms (think of a Portuguese man o' war), I'm thinking that perhaps that their 'shapeshifting' could have stemmed from an ability to rearrange different colonies that they just supercharged with genetic engineering. Their eyes, nose, mouth could just be specialized sensory colonies.
    One thing about Segmentosapians' colors is that they patterned themselves after their own architecture (as we see another alternate universe have a different blue-gray color scheme) meaning that in the main universe, they purposefully built their structures with bright primary colors (or perhaps that was just the individual who contributed their DNA). However it's also said that they had medieval styled buildings... which brings up other questions about their society.

    Honestly with the Reboot I had a crackpot theory that Bloxx as a creature isn't a singular being but instead a collective swarm of artificial creatures. Think an OG version of Surge, though I really enjoy your idea around Bloxx origins. As for the Ben 10k I think the answer for me is the fusions of the Biomnitrix, it feels like a more fun concept and allows Ben 10k to basically go into any battle with a completely new alien. I don't hate the UAF Ben 10k but I feel the fact the show was less detailed hurt him since it feels like he should have slight parts of his body morph into his aliens similar to how he changes for Ultimate Humungosaur.

    I've seen some people theorize that segmentasapiens have some connection to the Naljian Destructor. Perhaps some similar technology ended up multiplying and evolving on a barren planet and eventually gained sapience? Maybe this also explains why Polyominus was so frequently invaded, as many species coveted the advanced lost technology of the planet?

  • @twinodoom
    @twinodoom 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Because the episode introducing Bloxx had a plot point around Bloxx being airtight enough to cut off nitrogen from the Screegit, I believe Bloxx's species composed of microscopic components that are produced and controlled by whatever serves as Bloxx's brain. Those components can be reshaped to whatever form Bloxx needs, as long as they're making physical contact with the brain or another component that's connected to the brain. Which results in Bloxx having a uniform cellular structure that gives his body geometrical in shapes, similar to Diamond Head being made of crystal and also having a body with geometrical shapes that can partially change in shape.

  • @robhillen8007
    @robhillen8007 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've actually seen speculative alien world designs that could possibly explain Bloxx.
    If Bloxx's homeworld contained a significant amount of chlorine and other halogens in its atmosphere in addition to standard Earth elements, then the plants would be able to use those elements to form plastics for their main body instead of wood. Bloxx could then eat the plastic plants similarly to earth herbivores, and then they would incorporate the plastics into what seems to be a soft exoskeleton.
    I think the gorilla-like body plan and shapeshifting could be explained by a pseudo-arboreal lifestyle that involves traversing dense jungle canopies by extending their limbs from branch to branch, using the three leftover limbs to support their high weight on separate branches.
    As for the coloration, since only shorter wavelengths of light can penetrate a chlorinated atmosphere, the plants' leaves analogue would likely be shades of red and yellow. The blue could come from the natural color of non-photosynthetic bark in their native ecosystems, and the specific pattern of the colors on Bloxx could mimic how leaves are arranged on trunks and branches on Bloxx's planet. Heck, the Lego studs could even be trying to mimic bumps on branches where new branches are about to grow out, similar to axillary buds in Earth Plants. This all could be to hide from predators, ambush prey, or both. Gorillas are in the middle of the food chain, after all.
    I think the fact Bloxx could almost work as an actual alien goes to show how diverse intelligent life could be beyond the typical "Human but X" class of design that even Ben 10 uses for its aliens. It's not what we'd expect an alien to look like, and that might actually make it more realistic than a good chunk of aliens in the show.

    To add onto this, I have a personal headcanon that Segmentasapiens, before adulthood, are more lego-like in appearence and material cuz they're still "kids who want to have fun", while the matured adult ones become more brick-like and such, full-on construction worker shit
    So it's like a visual representation of growing up and having your passion as a kid become your job as an adult

  • @concentratedcringe

    In Artifexian's video about alien atmospheres, one of his example worlds (Clorox, a world with a chlorinated atmosphere) features plastic trees, and he talks about how this could come about and what ramifications it would have. My personal headcanon has always been that Bloxx is essentially just a 'plant'-based being from a world with a similar atmosphere and history to planet Clorox. It would handily explain his stretchiness and rapid regeration (a staple of plant beings in Ben 10), _and_ why he'd be made of plastic.
    To be honest, I think Bloxx fits the series regardless, without any justifications, since stranger things do exist in the Ben 10 universe (whether or not some people want to admit it). But this, as well as your explanation, are both very compelling reasons.

    this might be a Shorts video, but have you ever thought about why most of (if not all) of the Aliens in Ben 10 have front facing eyes? Like a lot of people talk about how they're bipedal as well (and some even being damn near human like) but I always found the fact of these supposed aliens being disconnected from each other, not only congruently evolved photoreceptive organs similar to each other, but also evolved similar placements and strategies for those organs as well. (aka, front facing eyes)
    maybe it's just because it's a TV show, and character designs are going to have biases, and front facing eyes are just easier to draw for most anthropomorphic characters

    • @OlliepopVT

    • @itsClaptrap
      @itsClaptrap ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@OlliepopVT oh true true, but then you have very disconnected aliens like To'kustars, Tetraman, Gourmands, etc, where their major departure is either eye count or placement (like you mentioned with Spider Monkey), but they still all do have front facing eyes (which is theoretically a predation trait in the natural world irl)
      I think the aliens that have the most unique eyes, just off the top of my head (so there might be bias) is the classic 10 with Stink Fly, Wildmutt, and Rip Jaws
      (Rip Jaws has side facing eyes, BUT they have 360° field of vision due to their eyes slightly protruding from their skull, whereas Stink Fly gets their 360° FOV from their stalks being prehensile)
      Edit: especially with To'kustars too, since they're supposedly born from Cosmic Dust Storms and aren't traditionally born like other organic life so there isnt a traceable genetic lineage (aka, tracking offspring to parents) to map out why they'd particularly need front facing eyes to deal with the void of space.
      Maybe front facing eyes is just such a good jack of all trades trait in the Ben 10 world, even disconnected species will develop it, even if they're literal light-years away from each other.
      Edit 2: I completely forgot about Eye Guy! That would be a very interesting speculative evolution backstory for Eye Guy's species. I wonder what the evolutionary advantage would be for that many eyes rampantly all over the body. Because I can't imagine what would make the energy cost worth it to keep all those eyes and process all that information.
