2 words that comes to my mind whenever I think of this show are "Sigh" and "Hopeless". I mean really is this the best they could come up with at Cartoon Network? While I have to admit that I wouldn't consider myself a big fan of the Original Ben 10 series, I thought it was decent in the beginning but later on became repetitive and a bit boring afterwards. Plus I didn't care so much for the other continuing series that came after either but when I found out about this reboot I thought; "Again another Ben 10 series?"
Now don't get me wrong I gave it a chance but with all honesty I can say that this is in my opinion one of the worst reboots I've ever seen. But just how bad is it? Is it "Uncle Grandpa" bad or "Teen Titans Go!" bad? I'd say it's sort of a combination of both, you'll have to excuse my bad joke but it's what I feel for this show in a nutshell. What happened? The show looks like a complete dumbed-down version of the original itself with childish designs, lame and uninspiring humor, lame stories with a cheesy moral at the end (I honestly think even Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog had better and clever morals than what this show has), simpler animation and overall even more childish and kind of more babyish than the original cartoon.
This reboot doesn't even bother to care about character development and story continuity it's just for the lame humor and the action which doesn't even help to save the badness of this unnecessary mess. Every episode is always the same where they can be summed up in these simple ways: 1. Our heroes goes on an activity. 2. Crazy things happen and it's up to Ben and Gwen yeah you guessed it. 3. Weird but uninteresting conflicts occur to our heroes. 4. Villain returns and Ben always finds a way to kick their butts. 5. Moral schmoral and some random twist from nowhere happens yeah you get the idea.
I wish CN could come up with newer and better ideas rather than creating dumbed-down version of their previous toons. This is basically the perfect example of why some cartoons are just made for money but what also worries me is how people (not all of them but it feels like it) will think that cartoons are just for kiddies again thanks to this excuse of a cartoon. Go watch Steven Universe or We Bare Bears instead you won't find anything special or inspiring here it's just plain dumb and worthless.
