What was so bad about ben 10? For a kid’s show it looked alright.
“FROM THE CREATORS OF BEN 10 AND GENERATOR REX”
So it’s going to be shit then…
No, wrong acronym. Its M.O.A., not Dic.
I have only watched a bit of Ben 10 and Alien Force(sequel series) those were fine and I hear Ultimate Alien(3rd sequel) series was good, but Omniverse, the latest series is pure fuckery.
It’s like the DragonBall GT of the Ben 10 series except it’s within the continuity and it literally acts like the build up and character growth from the 1st 3 series never happened. Ben acts like 2nd grader and overall it’s just some fuckery. There’s more issues but you’d have to have seen the older series to get why.
But to sum it up, it damn near retcons anything that happened in terms of how characters act and it it’s not within tone of the series.
Teen ben worked so much shipping and then them being part alien
And what do you know, Ben 10’s being rebooted because CN and/or MOA really hates actual teenage characters.
Which is crazy. Cartoon Network has had successful shows with teens and adults as the leads before. I guess that’s what happens when the entire upper management obey “The Chart”
Can’t wait for Rock to act like a hyperactive, ADD-riddled Spongebob ripoff…
I know CN is shit, but they aren’t Nick shit.
Nickalodeon will not, they WILL NOT, green light any show without it having a mentally disabled person as the lead. No morals, no maturity, no lessons, just dumb shit.
I banned that channel from ever being watched by my cousins, nephews, or anyone.
CN actually takes risks which is something I like them for. Even though they stupidly cancelled young justice and green lantern, both shows they never advertised and placed in a timeslot no one would wake up for realistically, they still do other good things.
When they saw the almost 5-6 year old adventure time pilot, where nick never gave it a chance, they did. In doing so, they secured an amazing writer that had wrote Steven Universe. They gave regular show a chance, a show that has been running for a while and hasn’t had a dud for an episode yet, they gave Gumball a chance, a show that works brilliantly as a comedy and manages to teach good lessons for children as well.
They are far from the gods era of CN, where if you weren’t tuned into CN you were missing something good (The Cartoon Cartoon/Toonami era), but they aren’t far gone like nick where Spongebob actually lowers kids IQ, and their last good nicktoon ever was Avatar. When Korra ended, nick died completely.
I’m checking the writing credits on Ben 10 Alien Force and Ultimate Alien. Those seasons had great writers on it like Dwayne McDuffie, Peter David and Len Wein. No wonder it was good.
Ugh back to bratty/annoying kid ben and gwen. Even his new design looks like a brat. I still enjoyed the original, but I enjoyed the dynamic between them (+ Kevin) better in the Alien Force series.
They just can’t let kid ben go. Dude matured enough to chose to commit suicide to free aliens trapped in his omnitrix and they throw all that growth away just to bring back more bratty elements and jokes.
Ah well, it’s all for da kids. Cartoon Network barely shows reruns of Regular Show or Adventure Time any more. I didn’t even know there were new episodes showing for the later.
CN did release pilots for 3 other shows and this seemed interesting:
The other two though…weak.
I know it’s old but just wanted to post this. It’s a bit related.
Edit: Linked to much better quality version.
TmnT is the best action cartoon there is
TMNT was pretty fuckin good for the first 5 or so seasons.
A new MM cartoon eh? So…where do I jack in and power up?
The 80’s one? No. It’s pretty awful. The first season they tried to make it semi like the comics by using a lot of dark and gritty tones and character designs but it was scaring away kids so they made the whole series a horrible running gag. Casey Jones only being in 2 episodes the entire 9 season run, April being constantly helpless, the turtles having no real personality because they all made the same stupid corny jokes. MAKING BAXTER STOCKMAN WHITE!!! They made tmnt into transformers. A cartoon who’s sole purpose was to sell toys.
2015 nickelodeon and 2003 one are so good though
2003 one is fucking amazing. 2015 one is really good too. It has a perfect mix and blend of all the old iterations while adding it’s own unique ss. It’s good for any age while the 2003 series was directly targeted towards teenagers until the weird fast forward shit happened and the tone of the show completely changed. That shit was awful.
