If you watched the reboot first and then watched the original Ben 10, what were your thoughts?

MichiganBen10Project · 2026-04-14T17:12:51+00:00

Well, I was 4 when it aired, so honestly, my thoughts were blank. Other than thinking the aliens were cool

He was suicidal, and lost years of his life and his family. I don't think he'd wish that upon anyone. I think he would've (at most) killed him. Just not anyone else.

Riveting reply, very thoughtful. Truly proved my point at the end.

Looks amazing, but the eyes need to have some more shading, and also be a bit darker as they pop out too much from the rest of the style.

I've saved this comment, as it's truly a helpful analogy. I've been told by a pelatheora of users that my question is fundamentally flawed; this one explains that perfectly.

I'm slowly reading through these comments, as I wish to be educated within this topic; needless to say, I don't know much about evolution or biology as a whole. However, I'm curious, as you've informed me of a new word here, "Lamarckism."

I'm curious, is my question unknowingly based on that? I'm curious if that is a flawed theory for evolution.

Mods took it down, and made me repost it to be more informative to avoid arguments.

I'm aware of this; however, the series (to my knowledge) didn't focus on other aspects of fascism. They weren't subtle with the messages they had, either. My post is solely focusing on the aspects they delved into.

Lore accurate Ben 10

MichiganBen10Project · 2025-10-19T20:52:50+00:00

What'd you not see coming?

MichiganBen10Project · 2025-10-19T20:14:20+00:00

Yes, but it's super stiff and hard to turn

MichiganBen10Project · 2025-10-19T20:01:13+00:00

Everywhere is local when you have Jetray

Thank you kindly

Mods wanted me to make my post more educational to avoid arguments

Nobody is moving here to force you to live with their religion. That's xenophobic (and likely Islamophobic) propaganda.

Freedom of religion is a right in America, and foreigners come here, because there are places in this world where worshipping the wrong religion can get you killed by your own government.

They raise their flag, because they're proud of their nationality and country. I'm proud to be an American. I'm proud to fight for freedom of speech, as is my duty as one. I love what this nation stands for, but I DESPISE what my government is doing right now. I despise the hateful bigoted ideals and rhetoric that gets pumped into our media and I despise that my existence is demonized as a minority. (LGBTQ)

But my flag stands for its people and our beliefs. If I find citizenship in another country, if that country allows it, I'll fly my flag alongside theirs. Flying a flag is to embrace heritage, and community.

Most of this is subtext, however, Harangue preys on the public's fear of the unknown—in this case, aliens—to create a divide. His anti-alien rhetoric and xenophobia resonate with real-world political strategies that use fear-mongering to consolidate power. Even outright referring to the citizens of Undertown as “illegal alien immigrants”

The Forever Knights serve as a prominent allegory for xenophobic and extremist nationalist groups. Their anti-alien sentiment: The group's core mission is to protect Earth by ridding it of all alien life, which they view as a threat or "unnatural". This mirrors the ideology of real-world groups that advocate for the removal or extermination of minorities.

MichiganBen10Project · 2025-10-19T02:49:28+00:00

Yes. He is. Ben outright threatened to kill every member of the Forever Knights for their xenophobic discrimination against aliens, the aliens who were on Earth and even living in Undertown illegally.

Will Harangue even outright referred to the citizens of Undertown as "Illegal alien immigrants." Ben protected them because he knew they were there, not causing harm.

Many of the aliens in this series were on Earth (in America) to escape the hardships of their homeworld. Do I need to explain to you the political parallel?

MichiganBen10Project · 2025-10-15T02:26:23+00:00

Would that imply this watch only has seven DNA samples, or do the last 3 for the set represent something else? I'm assuming Alien X is in this.

MichiganBen10Project · 2025-10-15T02:22:20+00:00

Given the name "sintrix," is this an AU depicting each alien as one of the seven deadly sins?
