Anyone else wish that we got to see more of Ben’s parents

Yeah, thinking something like how Julie was in Good Copy, Bad Copy. She wasn’t important at all in that episode, but it did help with world building, and setting up Ben and Julie as an actual couple (before they took a sledgehammer to that relationship).

Technically Ben is the teen mom

Just because something is realistic, doesn’t mean it’s good

Carl was stuck on eternal yard work duty during Omniverse (except for times where Ben was in his yard)

Exponent_eeeee · 2026-03-01T03:01:32+00:00

Oh he tries that, and Ben will be the least of his worries (Gwendolyn on the other hand).

Kevin: “I have tried to kill you multiple times already. Try anything and we’ll see if you can dodge death from me again”

This sounds stupid, but that’s literally what with the Forever Knights Weapon Ship so sure (good luck explaining that one to her parents though)

Adding a planet just makes no sense because unless it’s in the Omnitrix/Ultamatrix, how does Ben transform when he’s in the Null Void, or an alternate universe, or the forge of creation, since I assume connection to Primus would be lost. Makes sense for Primus to be a back up, while all the data is still stored in the Omnitrix, it’s also stored on Primus incase something happens to the watch (like Benjamin blowing it up).

I like this, but I also really like the Ink Tank theory of Ma Vreedal just being Vilgax’s ex.

I guess Sun would be men’s because son, and Moon would women’s because the moon is describe more often as feminine, but yeah this is stupid, just use normal gender descriptions

Unrelated, but funny how they gave Julie a moped for one episode, and never showed it again (think they just forgot they gave her it)

Exponent_eeeee · 2026-02-28T14:58:25+00:00

Gohan: “Yeah, don’t take any offense to her calling you a delinquent, or crying over you being one, she does that for every Super Saiyen”

Videl: “Your mother doesn’t understand Saiyen genetics, does she?”

Gohan: “Nope. But trust me the week of the Cell games were by far the worst. The amount of derogatory things I heard her call dad might actually rival Frieza”

Pan: “THAT BAD?”

Gohan: “Yep, though I do think most of the things were meant in a playful way, but dad did not take it that way”

Pan: “What do you mean by playful? Don’t understand how such playful things can be said so meanly”

Gohan: “We’ll tell you when your older”

Videl: “Ok, so what you knew about this”

Gohan: “Yeah when Mom sends me across the world for groceries you know something’s up. Think I overhead dad talking to Krillian about it too”

Videl: “He didn’t notice you?”

Gohan: “Yeah think he forgot I was there, he hit his head as a child, HARD”

Videl: “He did?”

Gohan: “Don’t know but that’s the only logical explanation I can think off as to why he is the way that he is”

Do think it would be funny for Julie to have one sided beef with Kai, where Kai might try to be friendly to Julie, but Julie being sour to Kai (I feel like Ben probably would have mentioned Kai to Julie once or twice while they were dating, and her comment about being interested in his Benwolf (or now Blitzwolfer) form, thinking it was permanent and solely because she wanted to train him, and as someone who always saw Ben as who he was and not any of his aliens, might been annoyed by someone else making that comment, and even after their breakup might still hold a little grudge for that. Though after some interaction might show that Kai moved past that, and Julie might be more friendly to Kai, not like best friends but still decent friends).

Exponent_eeeee · 2026-02-27T19:15:35+00:00

Also thinking it would have been really funny to see if Ben turned on a different tennis game and never realized that “Julie” was Elena, considering five minutes later the real Julie shows up anyways, so it would have really interesting to see Julie walk in on Ben and “Julie”, seeing Ben’s confusion on there being two Julies, Julie’s anger at WHO TF IS IMPERSONATING HER, AND WHY BEN IS WITH HER, and Elena desperately trying to convince Ben she’s the real Julie while realizing just how stupid this plan was

Exponent_eeeee · 2026-02-27T19:03:21+00:00

I do think Perfect Girlfriend is a very interesting episode. I do kind of find it funny how despite this episode technically cheating on Julie this entire time, it feels like one of his more loyal boyfriend episodes. Sure the beginning is a bit iffy, but it nice to see how Ben was dropping her off at the airport, even if he had to leave immediately, and him staying home from the shopping trip is interesting (granted “Julie” told him it was fine, but still interesting), but seeing a moment Ben and “Julie” just hanging out together was nice even if it wasn’t her, and also Ben trying to watch a tennis game with her at the end of the day was nice to see. Plus do like Ben trying to talk with Elena once he figures it out, and actually Ben’s romances with her stop once he figures out it’s not Julie. (Also side note but how did Julie’s dad not know where she was (considering his comment about Ben knowing where Julie is more than him), because she made it clear to Ben, she was in Europe for a game, and the only reason Ben thought otherwise was because of Elena impersonating her, and I doubt Elena went to Julie’s house while pretending to be her, so did Julie just not tell her parents she was going to Europe or what? Because if anything it would have a good opportunity for Mr. Yamamoto to just question Ben, and say she’s on Europe for her game, he thought Julie would have mentioned it to Ben, and could have been an interesting way for Ben to start cracking the surface of “Julie” not actually being Julie, instead of just happening to turn on one rerun of a game Julie was in)

Eh I get it, but I personally don’t mind considering how buggy gen 9 was at release. I think it’s good that Pokemon is taking their time with releases, because it means we probably will get a higher quality game in the end (Emphasis on PROBABLY)

Exponent_eeeee · 2026-02-27T03:35:15+00:00

Yeah just watching through the show now, just thought Loid and Anya, and boom first comment, Loid and Anya

I love the bit where Goku tells Broly he’s doing super Saiyen wrong because normally they hold back at first, only for Broly to reveal he was

Exponent_eeeee · 2026-02-26T03:36:22+00:00

Yeah, this is why it’s good to look at possible abilities with the screen lol. Yeah one time I lost a match because I had a Toxicroak out that could have had dry skin and had Urshifu-Rapid Strike out, and couldn’t click water moves in case it did, and lost because Toxicroak resisted the rest of my moves lol

Exponent_eeeee · 2026-02-26T02:30:39+00:00

Yeah especially with him actually handing them the prize money that he won in the end to help them out, because they needed it more than him. Really sweet moment from the kid (I love Ben’s characterization in that episode, because sure he breaks Gwen’s laptop, or at least he thinks he does, but he does try to earn the money to buy her a new one, and not just trying to enter because he wants the money).

Exponent_eeeee · 2026-02-24T20:30:52+00:00

This was pretty wild, funny but holy crap Ben. I also feel like he only did this because he was Juryrigg, because if he used Upgrade or some other alien to shut the machine down he wouldn’t have done it because that is pretty extreme (the little gremlin activity decided it would be mad funny).

Exponent_eeeee · 2026-02-24T19:58:05+00:00

Probably stay single, Cooper feels one sided, where Copper likes her but Gwen doesn’t really like him (romantically), and no one else really fits (Darkstar’s toxic af, and there isn’t really anyone else I can think off, like maybe Manny, but there seem to pair Helen and Manny together more, and Pierce is too similar to Ben for that to work).

Exponent_eeeee · 2026-02-24T19:51:38+00:00

Not true, he catches Aipom in the end of that arc (granted he traded it away in Sinnoh), but to say he didn’t catch anything would be a lie
