One final time, It's Hero Time! After taking a look at the origins of Ben 10 from it's creation all the way through its first initial series, to the live action movie, a 3D animated film and even a couple of game show, as well as the older series of Ben 10 media like Ben 10: Alien Force, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien and the second live action Ben 10 movie, we finally get to take a look at the more mixed in opinions by the fans of Ben 10 series, Ben 10: Omniverse as well as the reboot, titled Ben 10. So let's jump into my third and final part of my 3 part Ben 10 Retrospective.

Thanks so much for watching! I would love to hear your thoughts on Ben 10: Omniverse as well as the reboot of the show if you have seen it! What other shows shoud I make a retrospective series on next?
Thank you for doing this entire series. It's like a drive down nostalgia avenue and I love every second of it!
Can you please make a video on W.I.T.C.H. animated series on Jetix?
@@chinnuatluri
OMG, Yessss
I have recently started rewatching W.I.T.C.H
And it's surprising holds up
Another suggestion is Chaotic
It was really unique and I'm really sad that they stopped it on such a cliffhanger
The reboot is good...
Im not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but there were actually plans to give Omniverse a season 9 going on that galactic road trip, ending the series the same way it started. It genuinely sounded like a masterpiece of a season, but sadly Omniverse was cancelled and they had to end it on season 8
omg really? i wanted to see the full team with rook in a season together SO badly and had hoped the following series would be that, but we got the reboot instead. now my heart's broken again ;-;
Didn't bother me cuz I honestly wasn't a fan of the show and how he's portray with many changes that kinda ruins the build up from Ultimate and Force.
@@PreciousCosmos Eh the show was kinda mid
@@spideyguy3315 it had it’s ups and downs but I’ve learned to appreciate it over time, I think the higher concept and universal writing was a logical next step for the series honestly.
@@DanielLightspeedMcNair Yea but at the same time it kinda breaks the core aspects to the characters and the suroundings perspective.
Fun fact: Toepick and Atomix were referenced in the OG series during the "Ken 10" episode, as one of Ben 10.000's aliens. And Ken was disappointed that Atomix wasn't available in his Omnitrix, and said that Toepick "even grossed him out".
Good on ben not giving his son the equivalent of a nuclear reactor
Atomix is one of my more favorite aliens.. maybe it's just the way John Dimaggio voices him
@@Bowiiihowdy Nuclear Winner
i think the blue energy rock alien that appeared in the reboot also appeared on omniverse, in the episode Rook gets infected with the bro liquid thing, its one of the fighters during the tournament
Either the writers of omniverse based it around ken's description or they actually had that planned since the classic
I really appreciate the addition of weaker/"useless" aliens to bens roster in this series, Asmuth made the Omnitrix as a way for all life to understand each other, and surely not *every* alien in the universe is a super cool action guy, some are simply "the worst," and I really appreciate a more realistic and rounded out arsenal of not just powerful aliens but aliens that are just regular dudes.
Fr like you’re telling me you made the omnitrix for other species to understand each other even though every alien has the power to level a city?
I love that idea too!
Yeah so do I. Really emphasizes this thing about Ben using a storing device as a weapon. Of course I'd rather want to see Four Arms or Big Chill than Walkatrout or Molestache but it makes all the sense that among 10.000 aliens you have many who are even weaker than a human.
@@NotLadAnymore Ben always used combat-set aliens. I think in one episode it's mentioned that by default the omnitrix give a set of 10 that is best suited for any-scenario survival. I'm sure that in the database for every fourarms there are 10 "chicken but with two heads". It's just that they wouldn't be useful in what Ben uses the omnitrix for
True, but when the weilder of said device that wad made for unity amongst all species literally decides to call one of them "The Worst", that premise kinda loses its sentimentality.
With Dean 15, you've crossed off your final spot on the Ben 10 Fan checklist by technically making an OC lol. Really cool to see you cover the Reboot, too. That shoutout at the end was super kind - thanks a ton for that! Loved the watching through these videos. Keep up the awesome work.
Finally I have become one with the fandom! Lol thanks so much for watching all the videos and for you all being such a great voice in the community for Ben 10!
love you ink tank and jordan for making ben 10 videos
You guys are what got me really into ben 10
I love the reboot. It's the first time Ben 10 got me invested in something.
Ink bois!
Seeing Omiverse as an adult really hits different than watching it as a kid.
Although the art style and design changes we're a lot to swallow. Not same extent as knuckles taking roids and skipping leg day, but significantly! Like american dragon J.L.
@@erikbihari3625 he doesnt skips leg day
His legs refuse to get buff
@@erikbihari3625 the art style is cool tho and Boom was different of course
I still like Omniverse, both as a kid(I was 10-11 years old at that time) and now, I’m 21 and I feel that Omniverse is better than the 2017 reboot, sure omniverse has flaws, but i do like the artwork, and Yuri’s voice acting during that time was peak
Still pretty mix on it, cuz the characterization of Ben and his recons are kind of a mess.
The writer made the reboot for young kids, and I was devastated when I found out wildmutt doesn’t exist any more. And wild vine has two legs instead of his four plant like appendages, and they put spikes on literally almost every character.
It's also weird how they're all humanoid. There's practically no variety anymore. Ben used to have aliens with different body types that actually made them look alien. In the reboot, they took one look at stinkfly and said "You know what would be good? Making him a bipedal knock off version of big chill"
The humanoid thing actually plays into why Wildmutt wasn’t included. Man of Action has said that the CN higher ups basically said to make the aliens all bipedal and more humanoid, and said that they would allow Wildmutt if he was made bipedal like how they did Stinkfly. Given that Wildmutt’s entire concept hinges on him literally being a quadrupedal dog alien, MoA scrapped the use of Wildmutt for the series, though a Vulpimancer prisoner did show up in the Null Void along with an Ectonurite, Opticoid, Pisciss Volann, and a Loboan (ie Ghostfreak, Eye Guy, Ripjaws, and Blitzwolfer) in Ben 10 vs The Universe, so we did at least get that.
Classic ben 10 was for 13+
While this reboot is forn 6+
Honestly, it kind of gave Ben’s transformations this Magical girl vibe where the transformations were more like costumes than aliens.
@@belimvasim143 The reboot had a Tennyson family that was fun and interesting and villains with memorable personalities. The OG series sucked because it lacked those.
Omniverse was the kind of sequel series that makes you think "wtf is this" when you watch the show at the first time and ends up enjoying it the more you watch it as the story follows
It also fixed a lot of mistakes from UAF. I hated the retcons of UAF, and also How the characters became such jerks
No, is the flanderization show.
@@Master-WorksThe characters are more jerks in Omniverse.
@@mayotango1317 No, No, they aren’t compared to season 3 of Alien Force. Sometimes They are a bit cocky, though
@@Master-WorksI wouldn't agree with you if we were talking about Ben's (ex)gf
I like how Omniverse had big bads that were evil versions of Ben's aliens that showed up BEFORE. Really reminds you what Ben COULD have become if he wasn't raised to do the right thing.
Sad that Omniverse was also meant to have a Season 9 which would the galactic road trip and Season 10 would’ve been the Negative 10 (just like the Classic series). I’m glad that Omniverse is getting more love nowadays as it’s honestly one of the most under appreciated sequels of all time
Its like every show Derek Worked on always gets cancelled and ends on a cliffhanger, like TFA or Mystery Incorporated
Oof that hurts. Would've loved to see that
I am a big fan of omniverse
People just got thrown off by the animation changes. It was maybe the 2nd best of the ben 10 series imo.
And with season 10 it would have been probably the first series to have 100 episodes out the four original shows
I also fell off around Omniverse, but rather than thinking it was a reboot, I somehow thought it was an inbetweenquel. Ben looks older than in the OG series, but younger than alien force. Also Gwen's character design looks like an evolution from the OG series, rather than her ultimate alien design.
I thought so too
Same 😂
Yeah, while watching this video essay series I interpreted it as the form of Ben which is technically still older than in the OG series, but he has had experiences that really reality-checked him into realizing he still needs to mature more, so he's displayed in a more youthful-looking style. But this might also not have been done on purpose by the artists, directors, etc.
Hearing what Omniverse is about as an adult...this sounds like a well crafted, sci-fi masterpiece. Actually kind of upset younger me couldn't get past the art style! (Also made it to 1:29:20, brilliant retrospective that I had fun watching basically week to week!)
I just can't get past the art style. It's so ugly for me. All the characters look bad to me.
The story sounds great.
But ugh. The art style.
@@Olivia-W you sound pathetic
@@phantomgamer9264 I'd like to ask you what your goal is with that comment.
Do you mean to change my opinion? Wouldn't it be better to argue how good the show is in that case, and how the way it looks shouldn't be an obstacle?
Do you want to show that you are somehow superior, because your reasons for liking/not liking are superior?
Do you simply enjoy putting people down? Perhaps because of a sense of inadequacy?
Boredom?
I'm curious.
Name calling and insults rarely bring anything positive to a discussion, and they do not accomplish whatever goal you've set for your comment to achieve.
@@Olivia-W I want to know what's your goal with this comment cause it's too long and you are definitely using words you probably don't even know the meaning of since your brain can't go beyond a middle school thinking level
@@phantomgamer9264 For you to think about what you're writing. To learn to stop and self-reflect on your behavior and motivations.
I imagine you're quite young. There's no shame in that. However, needlessly insulting people is doing you no favors.
Ben 10 was such a love letter to sci-fi as a genre. From aliens to time travel to crazy tech, it was such a treat to watch it in every incantation. Amazing retrospective, you should be so proud!!!
I always thought it more Comic Book, since there was both fantasy and mystery.
And Magic
Yeah. Ben 10 really gives off the Silver Age comic vibe.
Iteration
A retrospective of teen titans and teen titans go would be pretty interesting, the tonal differences and the surprising sucess-ish of go. Briefly refering to other teen titans animated versions (it gives another angle to look at how these characters are used).
Yeah. The 2003 Teen Titans is pretty good for its time, but the online hatred towards TTG was wild back in the 2010s. Nowadays, with all the memes that spread around, I think TTG finally find got the recognition to where it belongs, whether you like it or not.
Love the idea! Go! has some really interesting moments while the OG show is just all over cool
Teen titans go isn't even over yet!
@@poweroffriendship2.0Bro ttg will never be Okay. Sonic Boom even isn't this disrespectful of the past!
@@hashiroinsanneGo is insultingly looks simular to the original. If they'd make it in diffrent suit designs, roster,cast catchphrase and all maybe it'd been better. As it stands it's creamy!(not the tasty kind!)
Man I really love Omniverse when it came out, Rook is such a joy. Got a whole lot weird when the love interests started piling on, then it becomes a major focus and even plotpoint
Never thought I'd find myself getting emotional over the course of a Ben 10 retrospective but man, seeing it all come together with the highlight real at 45:10. Man that got me, great video series Jordan.
This video really gave me more love for Omniverse. I was one of the fans who weren't too keen on Omniverse's art style but over the years I've come to enjoy and appreciate it's existence in the original continuity. I personally would love an HBO MAX series doing an episodic space roadtrip continuation of Omniverse that Ben teased at the end. It was also rumored to happen before Omniverse was wrapped up. Great video as usual Jordan. You took me on a nostalgic blast from the past and have me looking towards the future of Ben 10.
Well I'm still one of those fans who felt like the show was a miss direct to Bens entire arc that shows his growth and perspective of what he's become. In which is entirely erased and disconnects some of the characters that he had an attachment too, especially with his girlfriend.
@@spideyguy3315 Are you referring to the growth and perspective that were lost in Alien Force Season 3? You can't blame Omniverse for that.
Also Ben and Julie's relationship was crumbling in Ultimate Alien. The break up was expected.
@@Tob10k gotta say Julie was done dirty by the whole Ben10 franchise. Had only 3 memorable episodes in UAF all of which is her and Ben having an argument and 2 appearance in OV with off-skin flashback breakup.
@@spideyguy3315 your a bot dude shut up.
@@spideyguy3315 You’re doing this in every reply section please become a better person
Your the first youtuber that I know who's been covering ben 10 to reach Omniverse. It was worth the wait.
Thanks for sticking through the whole retrospective series!
You're*
@@jackychang9148 🗿
the ink tank is pretty close, still on ultimate alien though
@@Exxtramoist yeah.
If it wasn't already pretty obvious that the Plumbers are practically the Green Lantern Corps, Servantes is such an obvious expy of Sinestro
The Null Void is basically the Phantom Zone.
I’ve been rewatching Omniverse for a week or so. I must say despite the reckons, this is the peak of the OG Ben 10 saga. Really wished I saw this while it was still on the air
These 3 videos have been an amazing trip down memory lane. It was great seeing you revisit my favorite childhood franchise. I hope you'll make more of these when the new installment gets released, whatever that may be
Thanks so much for watching them all!
You can say that is a power trip
@@JordanFringe94 you should do this for other shows
I actually liked Omniverse quite a bit and always thought that the way it ended was such a solid setup for another season/series that was disused when the rebooted the franchise. Wonder what a hypothetical next season/series from Man Of Action could have looked like if they weren't told to reboot by Cartoon Network.
I would like to see a Ben 10k series.
Yeah it would have been pretty neat to tie everything up with a road trip series since that's what the first was. Especially since they would have been exploring space and developing the lore more
Omniverse is the best forever
Omniverse season 9 wasn't disgarded because of the reboot decision. It was most likely because omniverse was losing its funding due to the decline of toy sales, and then gave up and burned of the final three seasons at 6am time slots with no advertising. Purposely giving the show bad ratings.(they didn't even post them on their website at that time either). That's most likely why they made a reboot for the series. If it wasn't for cartoon network basiclally sweeping Ben 10 underneath the carpet all that time, We may have actually had that 9th season.
how kevin makes his own omnitrix in the reboot is the funniest,bro just wake up from sleep and made it,just like that.And also in the reboot Alien X is NERFED,even four arms can beat him now
I watched Omniverse when it first came on and I loved it. Unfortunately, I was never unable to finish it. After watching this video and seeing how it ends makes want to go back and watch the entire thing.
You will regret it.
Made it to the end and MAN...Ben 10 has been a trip down memory lane. Kinda like reveling in those summer vacation days growing up. Appreciate you doing this, Jordan! Can't wait to see what you do next.
Thank you so much for watching!
Bro really made me rewatch all of Ben10 (couldnt bring myself to watch the reboot, but still). Its crazy how a great ending can really change the perception of an entire series. I wonder what other shows are like that?
the reboot is actually not that bad. Just watched it. Some gems are in there
Honestly, if you started the reboot at the end of season one it’s a genuinely good series.
I remebered watching Ben 10 up until the middle of Ultimate Alien. After watching this series, I now wanna re-watch the old series and watch it up until the end of Omniverse. Nice job Jordan!
Seeing omniverse as a adult really makes me appreciate this finale of the Ben 10 series as a whole at least in my opinion.
Have to admit, I'm one of those who dropped off the series after Ultimate Alien, seeing your work here was really impressive (and worth watching all the way through all the parts for sure). Thanks for the memories and the hard work!
As someone who stopped watching tv in general around that time i wish I saw omniverse
@@bigkirbyhj666 I dropped off around ultimate alien but came back in omniverse. Was worth it
So Omniverse was a very fitting name for that series cuz they really dived into that concept pretty hard
Glad we live in a day and age where I can say Omniverse is my favorite Ben 10 series and not get made fun of... Too much.
I love how they didn’t definitively choose a prime Ben or timeline like most multiverses end up having. It really makes the art style changes and voice actor changes all feel more natural and make sense. And they perfectly filled in the holes of the lore throughout the series, having this perfect balance of continuity and change.
Oh my god…I never realized that Mr. Smoothie had the design change DURING Omniverse. I always thought the change was made at the start of the show. 😅
I thought so too untill I actually watched Omniverse a few months ago. lol.
Phenomenal entry and unbelievably entertaining retrospective. Thank you Jordan!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching!!
They should try going the Kamen Rider route. After 52 episodes, you reboot with a new gimmick every year. A great chance to showcase new aliens and bring back classic ones each time!
Amen!
Surprised someone mentioned kamen rider here. Also, your idea sounds nice, it would boost toy sales 👀.
I mean they obviously do that with power rangers because of sentai, but I don’t think they’re ballsy enough to do that with anything else
I'm super Happy that the Omniverse series is getting the appreciation it deserves. For me, it's the best way the show could end.
I’ll give the reboot this. Kevin’s personality will make him joining the team in a sequel a lot less divisive.
Honestly I think it’d be cool for a sequel to the reboot to start taking more elements from other series. Maybe have Feedback be one of the starting aliens and have Ben initially dismiss him as mid before learning of the absorption powers.
A reboot feedback would be pretty dope
Omniverse is the GOAT, used to hate it when I was a kid, but rewatched it and really loved all of it, soundtrack, humor, action and I am a fan of most of the redesigns.
Finally someone with good taste. You’re everything good about humanity.
That was me with alien force and ultimate alien as a kid
All Ben 10 series are goated!!! (Pretend reboot is non existent)
Not the goat. The greatest is and always will be the Classic ✅
@@OGTennyson Classic isn't even the second best 🕳️
@@cbt.wizard ain't no way u just said that💀
Were u born in 2012 or smthing? Lmao
The reboot art style is that lazy personality deprived style that adult comedies like brickleberry had. Which is kind of weird because the aliens themselves mostly don't really look like they even visually go with this iteration
All three of these videos were such a trip down memory lane and it was great to see the interesting directions the following series took, after I stopped watching as a kid. Thanks for all the insanely hard work these three videos took to make!
Bro, this retrospective series was so FUN !! Please give us more, I’d LOVE to see one on TMNT, it’s my favorite cartoon ever, but seeing one on Teen Titans would also be pretty cool.
Thanks so much! Will do some more fun ones in the future
All of the tmnt series have something different to offer from 1987 to rise it's a fun ride for sure
Even the arguably bad versions of tmnt are still worth a watch. They're all entertaining on the first watch.
I absolutely love your take on all of the series as a whole! It felt so good going over all these amazing stories again, while also exploring parts that I didn't care much about until now.
Thanks so much for watching!
@@JordanFringe94 thank YOU for making such good content!
You know what's great about having Omniverse as your favorite? It means that the show only got better and better.
Ikr these idiots complaining about the art style when it's the best one in the entire series UA and UAF looks bland and generic compared to omniverse
@@johnstrife7it's AF and UA, Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, unless you were trying to combine the two into UAF, Ultimate Alien Force, in order to demonstrate their closer connection compared to the rest of the OG series.
Now I have to watch it all over again man. I don’t remember ever finishing omniverse
Really digged the style of Omniverse, Derrick J Wyatt definitely knocked it out of the park with this one .
I agree. Can’t believe I didn’t like the art style as a teen. I can easily say it’s my favourite style of the four
@@spinceiling7442 i think that's cuz as kids we thought mature looking= better. Also people are simply resistant to change
So many of the redesigns are so cool and also we have to talk about the prof paradox glow up in omniverse lmao my man went from stock background scientist to steam punk time overseer
@@potatofarmergyro1720 and the design is so detailed too. Must have been pretty hard to animate. Props to them. Not to mention UAF would always recycle things whenever they they could in pretty lazy ways. Well, that was uncalled for, I like UAF too, but overall the visuals could have been better. A lot of designs in OV are improvements over the UAF ones. Try saying that on Instagram, especially Indian posts. Heck, set your phone on vibration to achieve pure bass.
Overall I don't understand the people that still hate OV to this day despite not watching it just because of the style change. And heck, it's a cartoon. It should look like one, you know.
rest in peace
I’ve had the most fun with watching this video & the “nega Ben” had me dying. 😊😂
I made it to this point after watching the other two parts. It was a wonderfully put together retrospective of the series and I like how you went into the series that you didn't watch growing up as a kid with an open mind giving them a fair shake. It really is amazing how well the entire OG series holds up and while not giving much thought about the reboot I think I may check it out for myself. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see what else you decide to cover.
I never understood why the new design gave Grandpa Tennyson squinty eyes. It's looks odd compared to everyone else.
Omniverse is one of my favorite series within the Ben 10 franchise. I was admittedly taken back at first when seeing the art style, but after I quickly realized who the artist was behind it, I was more than ready for it. Rook as a new character was a great foil or counterbalance to Ben. Ben is all experience, no training, while Rook is all training and no experience. I love Dynamics like this.
The new aliens we got introduced to are some of my favorite among the lineup. Ball Weevil, Gravattack, and even Bloxx became three of my absolute favorites.
I made a smaller comment about this during your community post, but there are a few things that this series unfortunately does that ruins other aspects of the other series. The Rooters Arc is the worst one, ruining Kevin and the other Alien Children's backstories.
So you're not cool with the animation when you see it but you're okay with it when you learn who designed it? That's pretty illogical
@@rushpatriot2866 don't confuse animation with art style omniverse's animations is godly compared to the rest of the series
@@catsmoking6485 you right I know the difference just wasn't paying attention that's on me
@@catsmoking6485 Dude so u liked kevin's backstory more than kevin himself?
I felt the same about the art style at first but I learned to love it
The concepts and the world building omniverse delved into really makes it my favorite
Omniverse seemed to have gotten the same treatment as Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; overlooked and avoided because of aesthetic changes and character choices but, despite some rocky parts, breathing some good stuff into both franchises.
absolutely agreed. It's because of omniverse which is the reason why I watched Rise of the tmnt.
@@kermitgotthesickkicks4265 I was kind of out of it with animation during that time.
Gave Omniverse a chance and, outside of bad romance, it was pretty good.
Finally got around to Rise last year due to a review by one from the wife of one of my favourite youtubers and I was hooked. This might have been the first series where I was interested with Leo, Splinter, Donnie and April. Especially April and Donnie. They’re great.
I do hope it gets a third season. Mostly to see if Triceratrons are added or if we get more Warren Stone.
@@christopherbennett5858 Absolutely agreed. I hope 2023 we get to see more rise content because it's clear the movie did really well.
@@kermitgotthesickkicks4265 As well as the shorts Nick dropped afterwards
@@christopherbennett5858 they aren't even the same characters though its kjust a show with tnmt skin
If you don't mind Jordan, I have some suggestions for shows to cover for the Halloween month.
Moville Mysteries.
Tales of the crypt keeper.
Grizzly tales for gruesome kids.
I hope you have some room for at least one of these.
Lol you're literally the reason I gave Omniverse a chance come to find out you were watching it for the first time too. I saw the premiere and thought it looked lame but it probably marries the elements of Ben 10 the best imo. I appreciate your videos man. Ben 10 was one of my favorite shows and I kinda left it behind when Omniverse came out caus it seemed "too kiddie." Glad I go to re-live a new Ben 10 as an adult. Thanks for reminding me!
Also RIP Derrick he was a legend 😢🙏🏾
Marries? Eh kinda but just made him annoying while in the Ultimates he gain the growth of being more mature. But yeah rip to Derrick.
@@spideyguy3315 In ua he is mature only in arc based episode except that he is immature all the time
Omniverse is amazing
I was able to catch up to Omniverse right up until before the final Arc because I had lost cable TV for a while, though I still enjoyed what I got to see as I was totally fine with the artstyle change, Rook's presence and tonal shifts (though I honestly wanted Gwen to keep her Episode 1 design). If anything, it was a great middle ground between the classic and sequel series that came before as well as a general celebration of everything Ben 10 in general. Will definitely catch up with the remainder of Omniverse at some point. Though by the time the reboot came out I was already growing out of CN and all the bad things I kept hearing about it made me skip it alltogether. Regardless, this was a great retrospective and it reawakened a lot of memories I had watching each of the first 4 series when they were first released. Keep it up.
i don't understand why Gwen's redesign was greenlit, it doesn't do anything for her
@@bucketslash11 it does. It brings back the cat symbol and actually makes her look like Gwen.
@@erikpng but Ben is wearing a different jacket/shirt, signifying his growth and Gwen has never worn glasses (maybe for some scenes, but never permanently)
I've watched all three videos completely. This is a nice retrospective series. I watched all the Ben 10 incarcerations. My favorite is Omniverse. I liked the writing and the animation. Everything else up to this point was nice and okay. Omniverse was just goofy enough and serious enough that they complemented each other.
I tried watching the 2017 reboot. I couldn't get into it. I acknowledge that is designed more for kids, which is fine, but it just didn't jell. Now, if there was another continuation, personally I'd like to see something between Omniverse and the Reboot. I don't care about the animation, if the story is good, I'd get down with it
I'd say the same, except I'd draw the line at the reboot's visual design. I find it too distracting. I don't mind Omniverse's art style anymore after seeing this 3-part series though.
Well the reboot could of been good but cn told them to make it like that since omniverse had low toy sales
I'm one of those "purists" that was pretty much turned away by Omniverse much more when the reboot came out -- your video has certainly convinced me to give them a shot. Great stuff. I do miss Ben 10's multiverse.
Hope you enjoy Omniverse and the controversial reboot
Dude just focus on story, the artstyle of omniverse will automatically grow on u
I have successfully reached the end of this awesome trio of videos. It's given me a greater appreciation for Ben 10 as a whole and honestly I might go back and actually watch Omniverse now!
Watch whole omniverse, it's a great series. Don't try to give up because of change in artstyle, that artstyle will grow on u till the end of omniverse and lighthearted tone (It had lighthearted tone but more serious and dark moments than ultimate alien )Have a great day!
I always thought this was a midquel that would go between the original Ben 10 and Ben 10 Alien force, showing Ben after his childhood being in his pre-teenage years. I never thought this was actually a sequel to all the other series.
This was a great 3 part series. Thank you for reminding me why I love this franchise. Your videos always slap.
Watched all 3 because I missed watching this type of cartoons Im only 19 and it's kinda scary but these type of retrospective videos keep me stable
Yea I really appreciate you making this Ben 10 series. When Omniverse came out I looked at it the same way I did Teen Titans Go. I saw the art style and immediately thought it was an entirely different show that didn’t remain faithful to the overall story. In hindsight I wish I would’ve watched it because the art style is actually really nice and from what I’m hearing, the story was pretty good as well..
sidenote: omg I love the Secret Saturdays man so underrated needed more than 2 seasons. The kid me would’ve died seeing their crossover 😭
Watch whole omniverse, it's a great show
Made it through the whole 3 part series. I loved Ben 10 as a kid and as I approach my 30s seeing this really hit me with the most nostalgia I've had in a long time. Makes me want to watch the whole thing because I didn't finish omniverse and maybe missed a big chunk of ultimate alien, I don't remember. Anyway this was awesome thanks for reminding me how much I love Ben 10 looking forward to your next mega project (provided the work for this one didn't make you never want to do it again)
Honestly, I love the art style of Omniverse. It looks clean, while still having a ton of style!
i love how first and last transformation of Omniverse is Feedback, something poetic about it
Actually made it through all 3.
The reboot and even omniverse thanks to the arts style really did lead to the fall of Ben 10.
It's been a nice trip down memory lane.
Omiverse is my favorite of the seasons. We're at the point of the show where it's gone on so long that it allows the show to go full blown crazy, and I really enjoy that.
And Walkatrout and Toepick are probably my two favorite aliens.
I love this series, I watched every video all the way through! Thanks for taking so much time in this Ben 10 deep dive, I only watched the original series as a kid and had no idea it went on for so long. Really interesting to hear all of the plot twists and turns!
I watched all 3 videos. You should definitely do more of these, I really enjoyed it!
as someone who really enjoyed the first Ben 10 series when I started watching in the middle of the show and then was into Alien Force's first two seasons but dropped off during the third (and then a similar thing happened with Ultimate Alien, where I got into it halfway through season 1 and really enjoyed the rest of that season, but dropped off in season 2), Omniverse is the one I pretty much watched all the way through (started only a few episodes in, and continued to the end) and as such is the one I have the most nostalgia for, watching it during my last two years of high school and my first semester of college.
I recently finished a rewatch in honor of the show's 10th anniversary, and I still really enjoy it, especially the Malware arc (as he's my favorite villain and is voiced by Corey Burton, my all time favorite voice actor) and everything to do with the multiverse and time travel.
Thank you for doing this retrospective as someone who fondly remembers OS to UAF and had internet friends to binge OV with and decide to like the reboot once season 3 hit. and thank you for not outright shitting on or being passive aggressive with the reboot, I see the flaws in it too and it's pros as well. I love Yuri as vilgax such a highlight. I don't see a lot of fans being open about the reboot, even when the "Benwunners" get in the way. I hope that (and I mean in the far future once all the Warner shit stops) we get an pre teen or teenage reboot to improve the reboot and fix the flaws in it too. and Thank you to DJW for bringing OV to light and bringing my favorite character into creation as you can tell with my YT name lol.
I’m pretty sure I watched Omniverse as a kid, the one thing I remembered was Rook, or at least that he was a thing, I didn’t remember his name or anything but once I saw his design I went “OHHHHH”, also the bit where Vilgax and the evil time traveler Ben make a team of evil Bens across the multiverse, reminds me of in DC comics where The Batman who laughs goes through different dark multiverses to collect an army of evil super-powered versions of Batman, so cool
These retrospective videos have been amazing! I loved this show as a kid but vaguely remember the plot points, so learning all this now is giving me a whole new love for it!
Dude I can't get enough of this nostalgia trip of a channel!
For real, and discovering New Old stuff!
This entire retrospective was incredible. As someone who grew up watchin Ben 10 I wasn't fond of Omniverse like most but this made me appreciate it more than I thought I would & made me realize I watched FAR more of It than I initially remembered lol. The reboot at least doesn't seem AS bad as I initially thought it would with my TTG Vietnam flashbacks still semi-fresh at the time but I still ain't genuinely touchin it wit a 10 foot pole. It's 1 of my fav cartoon franchises & would love to see more \
Watching all 3 of these videos has made me want to revisit the franchise. I never got to watch it as a kid so I watched it as a older teenager at 16 or 17, it was my favorite show. Watched all through to Ultimate Alien. Omniverse had been it for a while but I assumed it was a reboot but when I have it a chance I adored what it did! Thank you for making these three videos and the length of them was great! Gave me time to enjoy and reflect! Can’t wait to see more!
I watched all 3 parts of your Ben 10 retrospective series. It's really good.
been here since the first retrospective on Ben 10, what a ride it's been! they've sparked an interest in the series i haven't had since i was a kid, Thank you so much for making these videos
I was just burned out by Ben 10 by the time this series came out.
Maybe I'll watch it one day, but not anytime soon.
Ahh yes finally we've reached this point! Was fun going back through my childhood with you Jordan! Still waiting on that Tron video tho 😅
It'd been so good if it gets traction in the modern world where we have computers in abbundance! That way they wouldn't have to absorb Star Wars and Marvel.😠🤯
im new to this youtube channel and i just wanna say how much i love how well made the commercial breaks are made, first person that ive seen do this
Finally finished watching the last of this 3 part series, and you made me fall in love with this show again. I was 10 when this show came out and I grew up with it. My friends and I never had all the toys individually, but together we were able to bring what we had and use our imaginations to further the story of Ben10. You helped me remember those friendships and the memories of hours upon hours of play and debate.
Nah omniverse was my favorite version of Ben 10 but looking back I realized it's
1. Ben 10 classic
2. Omniverse
3.Alien force
4. Ultimate alien
Omniverse had some really bad filler in my opinion, and Ben’s personality spiked up and down in terms of snob, but it will always be special because of how it closed the book on Ben Prime. The reboot was a great ride too, especially when it comes to all of the over 10 minute specials and movie.
UAF will still haunt me though. AF season 3 was a mistake
Really enjoyable the whole 3 videos, im not a fan oF ben10 but this kind of video made me want to watch everything. Thanks!
Your videos always leave me wanting more, these longer form videos have been like hitting the jackpot. I love your content dude and I hope you get the ambition to do another longer series like this.
I love omniverse after rewatching it as an adult so good and a great expansion to the world of ben 10
Watching all 3 parts of this retrospective series was really great! It was fun to see the history of one of my favorite shows from my childhood and I can't wait to see what comes next.😃
37:26 "Is that a rare ben w" , made me burst out with laughter lol 😂 😂
I actually sat back and watched all parts of this, good work dude!
Omniverse is kinda my favorite. I wasn't put off by the animation change I kinda like the art style and when I finished episode 1 I couldn't help but love the the difference.
I really like omniverse as well
Omniverse has amazing plot, art style, animation and world building.
and better than UAF
Omniverse is my least favorite, it just so many changes that destroys the growth of the characters journey from the first series to Ultimate.
@@Tob10k The Plots are more of a hit or miss. But the animation is not bad. And the world building is kinda messy and out of place sometimes.
I absolutely loved this retrospective and it reignited my love for Ben 10, Thank you very much!!
I made it through all of the Ben 10 videos from start to finish and i have to say i really enjoyed myself! It was a nice trip backdown memory lane, i remember watching the original Ben 10 show back in the day when i was about 10 (maybe a bit younger) and enjoying all of the action and stories it had to offer back then and such, i also remember having a HUGE crush on Gwen back then, it was and forever will be a great part of my childhood. All of the videos were very well edited and they were worded in such a way that not only do i agree with every point made in the video it just resonates with me if that makes sense?
I'm a huge fan of Ben 10 and will always be cos the concept of turning into aliens through an alien device is cool.
Thank you Mr Fringe for making these sorts of videos and many more i really enjoy your content and i hope to see more long form content like this in addition to your other videos! It's always a good time whenever i see a video of yours cos i know i'm gonna be taken back down memory lane and not only relive some of my most favourite childhood cartoons, but i'll also get to learn a little bit more about them!
Keep up the good work Mr Fringe! ♥♥♥
One of your "remember this" videos happened across my channel and im so glad it did. Youre hilarious, I love your content and all the throwbacks I've had since finding your channel and I'm way too into ben10 even as an adult so I loved this series I listened to it twice at work. Keep it up my guy 👍
Next step is Ben 10 having an anime within a completely different multiverse with adult content. We don't need much, maybe a... TEN episode arc that is it's own complete story. Just so we can get a full on action-packed, bloody version of the Ben 10 fantasy.
The retrospective was great! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. All three videos were really well done!
It was fun watching a retrospective of the series beginning to end. Gives me a new appreciation for it.
man I loved this whole series it was amazing, I'd absolutely love to see more long form video essays, great workn man
I made it to that point, and as a huge Ben 10 fan, I really appreciate you giving the whole series a fair shake. And I'm super happy that at the end of it, you enjoyed most of it, including the later parts of the reboot. This was nice to see.
A great video as always. I’m glad you liked omniverse. That series has a special place in my heart.
Watched all the retrospectives, great job!
Jordan… your videos make me so emotional. I really love your content and your devoted dedication towards shaping yourbcontent to be perfect for anyone to watch… watching these make me so emotional. Thank you for always igniting these small yet impactful nostalgic memories I had as an kid. Ily never stop doing what you do ❤
