I loved how throughout the movie, Tetrax keeps saying things that hint that he might not be quite sure what is normal for humans. Like when he says "Sorry to interrupt your nap." But like...he says it too sincerely to be sarcasm. So it seems like he just heard "Humans have to nap sometimes if they are tired." And assumed Ben was getting a quick snooze in after the stress of take off.
@Hooty HOOT HOOT I really love how the Ben 10 universe slowly had aliens adjust to a more human life to the point where Omniverse had aliens participating in humans activities and had them wearing human like clothing
Astronauts experience about 3Gs during launch. Ben doesn't have astronaut training (at least not yet 😅), so he isn't accustomed to being exposed to the stresses of a space launch. I think I'd also want to sleep after a crazy ride like that.
When we stop to think, this movie shows a very dark aspect of Azmut....He was on the verge of Suicide, since he had almost no reason to live after he isolated himself and was going to let the Omnitrix explode.....Meet Ben saved him
I mean, Gwen's dad is a lawyer, i'm sure he wouldn't leave her without spending money for an entire summer. Or maybe Gwen and Ben's parents gave Max extra money for the trip
Ok, but I mean... clothes are expensive and so are most things that they have to buy so like... that must have been a lot of money that they would have to give max. Plus if the plumbers are secret as of the original series, I don’t think max got payed to much to work undercover. That would explain why he lives in the rust bucket. Edit: I basically just didn’t even see the first part of what u said about Gwen’s dad being a lawyer lol. But now I feel dumb about typing a huge paragraph about this when the dad being a lawyer and probably having enough money to give max for himself to give Gwen money, and even Ben money I would presume makes much more sense
@@soggyroll9920 Don’t feel too bad, the question you asked is still a valid one even knowing that Gwen’s dad is a lawyer. He must’ve gave them quite a bit of cash for this summer vacation.
I always remembered the eyeguy version as it was the introduction of that alien. But later versions all use the heatblast version. Guess that proves Kuro's theory that he's the favourite.
22:45 After rewatching Alien Force, Ben and Vilgax actually talk about that. Vilgax calls out the possible danger, stating everyone will die and ben says "Maybe if I let the charge build up over a few days but I'm only gonna give you 30 seconds." And the energy charge still sent *Vilgax* flying.
Azmut's signature on the back of the Omnitrix as Ben's parents has a much deeper meaning when you know that he created the Omnitrix in an attempt to redeem himself and meet again with his wife
I mean, that thing about his mate didn't exist in the classic show, so for all we know, this Azmuth put his name to show his superiority/ego (and we do see him later as being a lone scientist that doesn't really care about others)
I love the, "IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!" Moment. I’ve always thought that Ben hates it whenever someone helps him in a fight because he’s scared of them getting hurt, and he only starts getting comfortable after the classic series
Meanwhile in reboot universe Ben who lost both Gwen and max: "I lost everything, so now I won't let anyone have it either" Joker: "what did I tell you bats? 1 bad day."
@The Weavile it wasn’t there fault it was the network also is Ben was very inconsistent he got character development then the next ep he’s the same old Ben sound like bs IMO
Something that I've always loved about the gang's escape from Incarcecon is how calm Gluto is while flying the ship. It shows that despite his comedic nature he's still a professional and skilled pilot, which only strengthens the reason for Tetrax to work with him.
"What does Tennyson know that I don't?" "A lot apparently." "Silence!" That's what I imagine SixSix said to Vilgax. Just judging by the outrage in his voice.
I always imagined as a kid that SixSix was always saying horrible alien profanity and slurs and that he was dissing people constantly. I think it's because of his interactions with Kraab in his first episode. It's really funny to me, like he's constantly roasting everyone, even Vilgax, like a maniac and even the other villains find it fucked up. Always loved SixSix, wish he was a more prominent character.
Never knew there were other versions but now that i think about it I think I saw the Eye Guy and Heatblast versions but they were so far apart I didn't notice it at the time. I could have sworn the premiere of the movie had the Eye Guy version but who knows by now.
Listening to Tetrax's dialogue again, he says "the explosion will cause a ripple effect that will rip apart the universe". So in this movie at least, it's not the explosion itself that would destroy the universe, but its side effects. Later on he says if Ben messes with the watch any more "we can kiss this half of the universe good-bye", which even implies that some of the universe might survive the explosion and ripple effect. Gotta hand it to Classic for staying at least a little grounded :)
The observable universe is 93 billion light-years in diameter. Whatever lies beyond that distance is anyone's guess because all telescopes need light to see things, and light travels at a finite speed. If the Ben 10 universe is, let's say twice, that size that's a good chunk of that universe gone for good.

With how profitable the franchise became, they really could have given this treatment to the show.

@@LuisGustavoSO Agreed.

(granted the last issue began in the classic series with the horror monsters)

Without ben there would be no universe left.
With the many times Ben 10 has tried to hack the omnitrix, I'm honestly surprised the self destruct sequence hasn't happened sooner and what if they never met tetrax.
Considering this is Eyeguys first appearance, I like to think of it as his canonical introduction. Ben unlocks a new alien in the middle of a new adventure and has to learn to use him to save his family
Unfortunately that it's not a pretty big introduction for him like Waybig. And yeah, I guess that both Ditto and Upchuck had somewhat "uneventful" transformations/introductions, but I stand my ground saying that no matter how "useful" or not an alien is, their introduction transformation should be (at least) awesome.
@@alexhuduma9474 ironically, the movie is supposed to be last canon episode of original ben 10 so eye guy's debut would still take place in the negative 10 2 parter meaning eye guy was just unlocked offscreen

You can easily combine all 3 different Vilgax explanations: Vilgax is from Vilgaxia, a planet in the Shadow Realm. As the mutant conqueror he can turn into a giant squid, while regular Chimera Sui Generis are humanoid. Vilgax is a mutant and as such an outlier, the Shadow Realm is a system of planets next to a rift.
Maybe Tetrax's suit is like a symbiote? No powers like venom, just purely for cosmetic purposes. The way it moved around his hands and arms reminded of him. I can see somebody making tech like that
I've always felt like Vilgax's "true form" is one of the abilities he gained when he conquered one of his ten worlds. He knew about ripjaws and potentially jetray so it's possible he got the ability to combat them more efficiently. It's also possible that that form is something like the great ape forms saiyans have, all of vilgax's species can access them, but only certain individuals can control the form.
21:28 I think that in the movie's special cut of text they said that the reason Miyax was on Incarsicon was because she tried to sell some kind of cloaking technology to some pirates and got caught as a result
22:42 - I always figured that the charge had to build-up enough to actually destroy the Omnitrix because of how durable it was and taking out the universe was just collateral damage. As for it's destruction in AF, it was already badly damaged at the time meaning it didn't have to build up as big of a charge and even then there was plenty of the Omnitrix remaining after it blew-up.
22:55 you could ask that same question in the animes My Hero Academia and One Punch Man. How many people in those series who are heroes or are training to become them genuinely want to help save lives and not just do it for the fame, fortune and trills? It's a pretty deep question and I love it.
@@cartoonishidealism582 it'd be great if she had interactions with Albedo, since they both were Azmuth's assistances and helped with something related to the Omnitrix
Well, the Anodite part didn't exist in the Classic show, so that one would be crossed out. Most probable scenario is that it's played for laughs/lets the story continue
@@alexhuduma9474 True but it makes the most sense to me that she can understand alien language because she's an anodite she just doesn't realise it yet
22:30 based on the explanation from the finale for alien force when he blows up the omnitrix with only a 30 second charge I’m pretty sure it’s a feature. Based on how big the threat is, if the omnitrix needs to be destroyed he could take the entire enemy force with him no matter how many enemies there are as long as he times it correctly. If the threat is so big the omnitrix needs to be destroyed instead of used against it, it’s probably safe to say it should blow up the universe… especially when you consider A) alien x wouldn’t be strong enough in that situation and B) the universal range was used to repair the dna of the high breed.
I remember watching this movie all the time as a kid. And I had the DVD version of this movie and I remember the extras of the movie being that you could have different opening scenes to the movie. I loved this movie and still do. Glad to see you are finally starting to review it
2:21, Dang never knew that there were other versions. When I watched Secret of the Omnitrix I'm pretty sure mine used Eye-Guy for the beginning with Dr. Animo.
I love how Gwen and Ben finally start to appreciate each other at the end of this movie, but I still think it should have happened earlier in the series.
@@JayRedGear Yes, but this is the series finale and the last adventure of their summer vacation (even though this movie aired before the final three episodes). So after this they finally started to love each other and ties into their healthy relationship in Alien Force.
@@vetarlittorf1807 they do get along well in most of the series, but they're kids, I like that they keep their personalities even after learning a lesson, otherwise it'd probably be boring
You can get along and still banter. Me and my brother do it all the time. Though I wish the creators stuck with the let Gwen be a friend instead of a relative thing. But Ben Ten was made in like 2005 and the creators must have not read many romances. Its a common rule that the reader will ship the heroine with the hero. So yeah...problems and oddness a bound.
That was pretty dark when you do remember he's got a literal bomb strapped to his wrist and they have approximately 4 or less days to get it off or deactivated. You could say it's " A Race Against Time "
This movie is basically my comfort movie. It just a nice thing to put on and watch every so often, especially with friends. I love how this movie looks and the colour pallet, the alien designs in that prison scene is so cool and my favourite part of the movie, just seeing so many unique designs and just that whole scene just looking pretty in an alien kind of way, with it having a slightly bigger budget and such.
I sort of love the fact that Animo is the villain who causes this whole movies and nearly destroys the universe Doctor Animo Of all of Ben’s villains from the classic series, it’s Animo that does this.
i mean, it is kind of a given kevin at one point was a hobo between quarry helping him escape prison and the point we met him in Alien Force even if only until he got his act together
@@kappadarwin9476 nope it is an actual dish from Rochchester New York that is basically white sausages on a mountain of carbs covered in mustard and ketchup. Carb-wise it's the biggest bang for your buck
Pretty sure it was briefly mentioned in alien force when he threatened to self-destruct the omnitrix that "[not charging up the self-destruct sequence would] still blow this whole place up", implying he could let it charge up longer to blow up even more.
22:10 to answer ur question whether the omnitrix tearing apart the whole entire universe is a feature or side effect, since the self destruct sequence had been charging up for days instead of a few minutes, the charge will be powerful enough to destroy the universe. in alien force when ben initiated the self destruct on vilgax, he only charged it up for a few minutes, thus not making it destroy the whole universe. so to answer ur question, side effect
Okay, I have a few things to say: 1. I think that Dr Animo’s bug was supposed be some kind of hybrid of a Hornet and a Terrorantula. 2. I wish Eye Guy had a proper onscreen introduction (not nesessarily in the movie) because there were times when I didn’t recognise or remember him. 3. I think a lot of the aliens at Incarcecon are in Psyphon’s gang in Omniverse. 4. I sometimes wonder what the movie would be like if it included all of Ben’s enemies from space (and maybe Kevin too) or if Max went along with them.
This movie is so incredible. These breakdowns are such a treat, your commentary is so good, it has humor and deep analysis. I don't know a single person that could do this better than you
Yknow, Incarcecon doesn't really seem like such a terrible place. You get to hang out with hundreds of like-minded scoundrels, you get free food, and most of these guys are just chilling despite supposedly being violent criminals. Certainly beats the Null Void.
@@Goat10Solos That was only a future version of the watch. The current one Ben has is the most basic and prototype version. I don't know if has the same durability or not since we've never seen it put to the test, but it has been able to be affected easily by human tools like screwdrivers.
These breakdowns gives me deeper appreciation for the artists behind the show, great work. The diversity in the alien species in this movie is remarkable, and they all look unique.
The Incarcecon intro scene blew me away when I rewatched this. A few of the aliens in the background almost looked like CG with how they're shaded, but that would've been an insane amount of work for one shot right? I guess the shading they chose for that is just reminiscent of early cel shading.
Pretty sure it was explained in the Alien Force finale that the SDM was only a treat to the universe because it was storing up power with its long charge time, as later on Ben gave Vilgax only 30 seconds to hand the omnitrix over.
I love this movie, and watching it again makes me wish the Ken 10 movies was given the movie treatment too. It'd come full circle having the two villains that were locked away in the Null Void come back in a longer episode format.
The first series relies on extra bits to explain somethings, true why Myaxx was in jail isn’t that important but Ben knowing Tetrax’s name is a little bit more odd. Also Ben and Gwen’s lack of care for their parents is because they don’t matter as characters.
I have Eye Guy on my dvd so I always assumed that was the only version. It’s weird because that’s his only appearance in the original series. You would think they would’ve just kept it as Eye Guy to introduce him.
It's nice to see Tetrax using his Petrosapien powers as in the episode 'Hunted', he calls Ben out for not using Diamondhead's powers to his full potential. And Tetrax certainly delivers as he takes them out in a pretty cool and OP way. For example what he did at 19:06. Would've been nice to see Diamondhead do that. Would be nice to see Ben learn from the other people who's species are of his alien more. Not saying it doesn't happen, but would be nice to see more. How deep the world building and the lore's really part of the essence of Ben 10 and why we love Ben 10 so much thanks to God's grace. When he comes back in season 3 of Alien Force in The Secret of Chromastone, like a lot of characters, they're different to how they were in the original series. Still loved that episode and it's still one of my favorites but as the usual trend goes, they didn't use Tetrax to his full potential and the way he conducts himself is different.
Tetrax’s line about being a hero is really deep and it is just like how spider-man says with great power comes great responsibility I feel what tetrax says applies to every single superhero ever in all fictional universes
Part 1? I thought we were going to get the full movie... then again It would be too much work to put into one video, well I can't wait for the next part, great job
I always thought that the reason why the explosion would destroy the universe was because the Omnitrix was practically indestructible. We even see in Omniverse that the Omnitrix survived the annihilargh so the force needed to destroy it must be at the very least universal + level.
13:25 this is the best perfect cuts you evee made, Kuro. Well, aside from: "That's my granddaughter." "I always wanted to see one of those-" "Since when-"
21:40 So she was arrested after trying to sell advanced tech to Spitter’s species? Huh nice to see Sphoeroids get a mention if only Spitter was used more, shame he wasn’t brought back for Omniverse.
I live in India and we had got the eyeguy variation version of this movie before eyeguy was even introduced (cause of CN not showing the version in chronology) I was so confused when I saw that allien
I wold think the Universe-destroying thing is, in fact a feature. After all, Ben stated in AF that how much damage it causes is directly correlated to how long it charges for. As he demonstrated soon after, the Omnitrix can self-destruct with only 30 seconds of charge, causing a pretty harmless explosion. If it doesn't NEED the universe-wide blast to self-destruct, then it's probably made so the user can choose to make the Omnitrix into a universe-bomb. Probably as some last-resource kind of thing.
I really liked that you touched on the hero line it's actually why I hunted down reviews for this movie bc even when I first watched it in 07 I thought it was a little unfair
Upon a rewatch I noticed that you snuck in a Reboot Ben silhouette in there when montaging all the movies, and honestly I'm so excited. It'll probably take like, two years to get through AF, UA, Omniverse, and eventually the Reboot, but even still. This is just the start of a long journey and I'm behind you all the way!

The mutated bug at the beginning looks like a combonation of stinfly and the creature Phil turns into in Omniverse
What a legend
He actually did a breakdown of the movie
I know right also I love have a bug pull the Charles
@Tennyson Clips I hope so
But it wasn't a Ben 10 episode
And was a generator Rex episode instead
But I still hope he does it
@Tennyson Clips I'm sure
@Tennyson Clips he will
Isn't this a part 1?
You can easily combine all 3 different Vilgax explanations:
Vilgax is from Vilgaxia, a planet in the Shadow Realm. As the mutant conqueror he can turn into a giant squid, while regular Chimera Sui Generis are humanoid.
Vilgax is a mutant and as such an outlier, the Shadow Realm is a system of planets next to a rift.
Kuro can make an "And Beyond" episode out of that!
So he’s the King Cold of his race?
I like this theory.
You should’ve been a writer for Ben 10 lol
@@zafool4997 you mean frieza
The shadow realm, does that mean Vilgax was playing children's card games before he met Ben?
I mean, everyone has a Hobby
I can now imagine Vilgax dueling Yami Marik with Octo Grappler
Maybe Vilgax should of just challenged Ben to play a children's card game for the Omnitrix instead of trying to murder him.
Hopefully there were no space motorcycles involved...
"Looks like you're going to the Shadow Realm, Ben Tennyson!"
I like the fact that Tetrax just conveniently has this alien Halloween costume the size of two 10-year-old humans ready to go.
Tetrax is a space furry confirmed?
@@Jack-sy8mr works with plumbers confirmed?
I would pay to see a Ben 10 Spin off with Tetrax traveling through space
Like the mandalorian
Heck I'd pay to see Tetrax and Ben train Yondu and Star Lord style
Tetrax is my favorite character from the Ben 10 franchise. The classic that is, the reboot did him dirty.
Maybe Tetrax's suit is like a symbiote? No powers like venom, just purely for cosmetic purposes. The way it moved around his hands and arms reminded of him. I can see somebody making tech like that
It reminded me of Black Panther's vibranium suit where it provides protection but can easily slide right off to reveal the skin
@@robertcagatin3690 Black Panther’s suit uses nanotechnology that can contain itself within the teeth of his necklace.
@@stephenking5852 Something similar like that
Maybe he designed the suit with his Crystals somehow woven into the fabrics?

I hope that Kuro does Generator Rex's show, too.

Plumbers are goated
Grandpa max vs Batman would be an interesting fight
I've always felt like Vilgax's "true form" is one of the abilities he gained when he conquered one of his ten worlds. He knew about ripjaws and potentially jetray so it's possible he got the ability to combat them more efficiently.
It's also possible that that form is something like the great ape forms saiyans have, all of vilgax's species can access them, but only certain individuals can control the form.
From Alien Force onwards, a counter every time Professor Paradox appears.
One of the most enigmatic characters in the series
21:28 I think that in the movie's special cut of text they said that the reason Miyax was on Incarsicon was because she tried to sell some kind of cloaking technology to some pirates and got caught as a result
Yeah it was shown at 21:40
"Vilgax is from the Shadow Realm" I don't know why that's so funny to me.
He's a Yugioh villain I guess
F*cking 4Kids.
The Millennium Watch.
Imagine Ben as a Duelist.
"The Omnitrix has no pathetic aliens, Vilgax. But it does contain… the unstoppable Alien X!"
How does one escape the shadow realm?
22:42 - I always figured that the charge had to build-up enough to actually destroy the Omnitrix because of how durable it was and taking out the universe was just collateral damage. As for it's destruction in AF, it was already badly damaged at the time meaning it didn't have to build up as big of a charge and even then there was plenty of the Omnitrix remaining after it blew-up.
When Gwen was taken and Ben turned to Cannonbolt to break apart Azmuths door I still tear up :')
22:55 you could ask that same question in the animes My Hero Academia and One Punch Man. How many people in those series who are heroes or are training to become them genuinely want to help save lives and not just do it for the fame, fortune and trills? It's a pretty deep question and I love it.
“You’re not Vilgax, you’re a girl!”
“I know.”

Myaxx is iconic and it always bothered me that they didn’t use her more. She’s such a fun character with an interesting dynamic with Azmuth

11:45 I like to imagine Tetraxx deliberately chose to engage the artificial gravity at that moment rather then at take off solely to screw with Ben.
I'm wondering if Gwen's ability to understand Wildmutt and other aliens is apart of her Anodite physiology
It could be, but I understand it as a half-serious gag in which Gwen thinks "Yeah, it's not that different from the usual doofus"
Nah. She just smart
Well, the Anodite part didn't exist in the Classic show, so that one would be crossed out. Most probable scenario is that it's played for laughs/lets the story continue
*Maybe
@@alexhuduma9474 True but it makes the most sense to me that she can understand alien language because she's an anodite she just doesn't realise it yet

i have an request
please, when you get to omniverse, make an counter for how many times ben tries to go humongassaur
Dude, no. It's already torturous enough without having to count it.
Dude yes
*yes*
Eh kind of annoying and unnecessary if you ask me
Humoungosaur is the alien Ben turned into the most.
Gwen's dad is a lawyer, so that's where she gets her money
23:04 I think Peter Parker in spectacular Spider-Man asked himself that same question about being Spider-Man
Yeah it was the final episode of Season 1
22:30 based on the explanation from the finale for alien force when he blows up the omnitrix with only a 30 second charge I’m pretty sure it’s a feature. Based on how big the threat is, if the omnitrix needs to be destroyed he could take the entire enemy force with him no matter how many enemies there are as long as he times it correctly. If the threat is so big the omnitrix needs to be destroyed instead of used against it, it’s probably safe to say it should blow up the universe… especially when you consider A) alien x wouldn’t be strong enough in that situation and B) the universal range was used to repair the dna of the high breed.
I remember watching this movie all the time as a kid. And I had the DVD version of this movie and I remember the extras of the movie being that you could have different opening scenes to the movie. I loved this movie and still do. Glad to see you are finally starting to review it
22:50 ok that's the most deep thing I've heard Kuro saying upto the breakdowns I've watched ❤️😭❤️❤️
Glad they didn't waste the budget on grey matter this movie amiright. Anyway, love the fact that there are 3 intros to this movie
I'm glad they didn't waste the budget on a diner scene that was very "IMPORTANT" to the plot
4:00 it’s like the berserk shots in both the manga and 97
2:21, Dang never knew that there were other versions. When I watched Secret of the Omnitrix I'm pretty sure mine used Eye-Guy for the beginning with Dr. Animo.
The movie almost makes you think that you missed an episode with Tetrax, but then Gwen mentions they haven't seen each other since Hunters.
I always get the names of this film and “Race Against Time” mixed up because the subtitles equally describe both films.
Explain the whole secrets of the omnitrix fits for race against time other way around sure but I don’t see it
@@levievil9220 That Enoch exists within the Omnitrix. That seems like a pretty big secret of the Omnitrix.
@@shyguygaming5397 makes sense
It’s been a long time since I’ve last seen the original Ben 10. So much nostalgia hearing their voices again
14:25 someone should caption that shot of Tetrax it's so good
16:12, the alien in the back had an omnitrix logo on his chest. Maybe a plumber badge?
I love how Gwen and Ben finally start to appreciate each other at the end of this movie, but I still think it should have happened earlier in the series.
It technically has several times but by the next episode, the two are at each other's necks.
@@JayRedGear Yes, but this is the series finale and the last adventure of their summer vacation (even though this movie aired before the final three episodes). So after this they finally started to love each other and ties into their healthy relationship in Alien Force.
@@vetarlittorf1807 they do get along well in most of the series, but they're kids, I like that they keep their personalities even after learning a lesson, otherwise it'd probably be boring
You can get along and still banter. Me and my brother do it all the time.
Though I wish the creators stuck with the let Gwen be a friend instead of a relative thing. But Ben Ten was made in like 2005 and the creators must have not read many romances. Its a common rule that the reader will ship the heroine with the hero. So yeah...problems and oddness a bound.

That was pretty dark when you do remember he's got a literal bomb strapped to his wrist and they have approximately 4 or less days to get it off or deactivated. You could say it's " A Race Against Time "
This movie is basically my comfort movie. It just a nice thing to put on and watch every so often, especially with friends. I love how this movie looks and the colour pallet, the alien designs in that prison scene is so cool and my favourite part of the movie, just seeing so many unique designs and just that whole scene just looking pretty in an alien kind of way, with it having a slightly bigger budget and such.
Bro everytime I watch these breakdowns I’m always saying to myself “can’t wait for this vid and Kuro’s new looking hairstyle”
I sort of love the fact that Animo is the villain who causes this whole movies and nearly destroys the universe

Pretty sure it was briefly mentioned in alien force when he threatened to self-destruct the omnitrix that "[not charging up the self-destruct sequence would] still blow this whole place up", implying he could let it charge up longer to blow up even more.
Tetrax is one of the best side characters in the Classic Series
27:05 "At one point they said Vilgax was from the shadow relem." When the heck did Ben 10 turn into Yugioh?
@cryptozoologist investigator 2.0 Probably somethimg like Jack Atlas' deck from Yugioh 5D's. A deck that focusus on power and strength.
I love how Gwen says thanks a lot when Ben says you're a zero as if she doesn't have access to magic
Tetrax is so underrated, he’s one of my favourite Ben 10 characters.
Same! 😁
Agreed
22:10
to answer ur question whether the omnitrix tearing apart the whole entire universe is a feature or side effect, since the self destruct sequence had been charging up for days instead of a few minutes, the charge will be powerful enough to destroy the universe. in alien force when ben initiated the self destruct on vilgax, he only charged it up for a few minutes, thus not making it destroy the whole universe. so to answer ur question, side effect
It wasn't even minutes, it was just 30 seconds.
Since the Omnitrix couldn't be removed, Tetrax modified Ben's spacesuit so the Omnitrix acted as a seal between Ben's hand and arm
Okay, I have a few things to say:
1. I think that Dr Animo’s bug was supposed be some kind of hybrid of a Hornet and a Terrorantula.
2. I wish Eye Guy had a proper onscreen introduction (not nesessarily in the movie) because there were times when I didn’t recognise or remember him.
3. I think a lot of the aliens at Incarcecon are in Psyphon’s gang in Omniverse.
4. I sometimes wonder what the movie would be like if it included all of Ben’s enemies from space (and maybe Kevin too) or if Max went along with them.
This movie is so incredible. These breakdowns are such a treat, your commentary is so good, it has humor and deep analysis. I don't know a single person that could do this better than you
Thank you very much!
21:06 Respirators I guess? Also best Myaxx design.
Yknow, Incarcecon doesn't really seem like such a terrible place. You get to hang out with hundreds of like-minded scoundrels, you get free food, and most of these guys are just chilling despite supposedly being violent criminals. Certainly beats the Null Void.

@@Goat10Solos That was only a future version of the watch. The current one Ben has is the most basic and prototype version. I don't know if has the same durability or not since we've never seen it put to the test, but it has been able to be affected easily by human tools like screwdrivers.
@@Goat10Solos When I said future I meant Omniverse since it's the future of this series. Sorry I forgot it might sound like I was referring to Ben 10K
These breakdowns gives me deeper appreciation for the artists behind the show, great work.
The diversity in the alien species in this movie is remarkable, and they all look unique.
The Incarcecon intro scene blew me away when I rewatched this. A few of the aliens in the background almost looked like CG with how they're shaded, but that would've been an insane amount of work for one shot right? I guess the shading they chose for that is just reminiscent of early cel shading.
Pretty sure it was explained in the Alien Force finale that the SDM was only a treat to the universe because it was storing up power with its long charge time, as later on Ben gave Vilgax only 30 seconds to hand the omnitrix over.
I love this movie, and watching it again makes me wish the Ken 10 movies was given the movie treatment too.
It'd come full circle having the two villains that were locked away in the Null Void come back in a longer episode format.
5:56 rest in peace hover board-Kun
I'M SO HAPPY HE'S DOING HE MOVIES
The first series relies on extra bits to explain somethings, true why Myaxx was in jail isn’t that important but Ben knowing Tetrax’s name is a little bit more odd. Also Ben and Gwen’s lack of care for their parents is because they don’t matter as characters.
I loved this movie as a kid! Whenever it was on TV, I'd surely be sat on the couch, ready for a fun time. Can't wait for part 2!
I have Eye Guy on my dvd so I always assumed that was the only version. It’s weird because that’s his only appearance in the original series. You would think they would’ve just kept it as Eye Guy to introduce him.
It's nice to see Tetrax using his Petrosapien powers as in the episode 'Hunted', he calls Ben out for not using Diamondhead's powers to his full potential. And Tetrax certainly delivers as he takes them out in a pretty cool and OP way. For example what he did at 19:06. Would've been nice to see Diamondhead do that. Would be nice to see Ben learn from the other people who's species are of his alien more. Not saying it doesn't happen, but would be nice to see more. How deep the world building and the lore's really part of the essence of Ben 10 and why we love Ben 10 so much thanks to God's grace. When he comes back in season 3 of Alien Force in The Secret of Chromastone, like a lot of characters, they're different to how they were in the original series. Still loved that episode and it's still one of my favorites but as the usual trend goes, they didn't use Tetrax to his full potential and the way he conducts himself is different.
I’ve always assumed when Vilgax asked “What does Tennyson know that I don’t?” Sixsix replied with “Quite a bit.“
Tetrax’s line about being a hero is really deep and it is just like how spider-man says with great power comes great responsibility I feel what tetrax says applies to every single superhero ever in all fictional universes
21:40 Wait, so Spitter's species as pirates? An interesting detail

4:23 After viewing the eye guy version of secret of the omnitrix tara did say his name so she did other takes of that line
I always thought that the reason why the explosion would destroy the universe was because the Omnitrix was practically indestructible. We even see in Omniverse that the Omnitrix survived the annihilargh so the force needed to destroy it must be at the very least universal + level.
23:22 For this question I’d look at the origin of savant from DC and that one booster gold episode from Justice league unlimited.

I think eyeguy was not introduce in any momment
He just
Exists
I wold think the Universe-destroying thing is, in fact a feature. After all, Ben stated in AF that how much damage it causes is directly correlated to how long it charges for. As he demonstrated soon after, the Omnitrix can self-destruct with only 30 seconds of charge, causing a pretty harmless explosion. If it doesn't NEED the universe-wide blast to self-destruct, then it's probably made so the user can choose to make the Omnitrix into a universe-bomb. Probably as some last-resource kind of thing.
I really liked that you touched on the hero line it's actually why I hunted down reviews for this movie bc even when I first watched it in 07 I thought it was a little unfair
Upon a rewatch I noticed that you snuck in a Reboot Ben silhouette in there when montaging all the movies, and honestly I'm so excited. It'll probably take like, two years to get through AF, UA, Omniverse, and eventually the Reboot, but even still. This is just the start of a long journey and I'm behind you all the way!
Same here
