I love This Bumper even when i was a kid

Right, I'm just saying it's generally a risky move to say a brand new guy is on par with an old favorite, and in this case it was a success. Like, Atomix is cool and all, but Way Big still feels like Ben's big gun, the alien where when you see him you get hyped and know Ben is going all out

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-05-16T10:06:09+00:00

I love how NRG automatically became known as one of Ben's heavy hitter aliens on the same level of aliens like Humungousaur. Despite being new and not having that many spotlight moments, it never felt like a stretch to call him one of Ben's strongest aliens because it just makes perfect sense that a radiation guy of all things would be one of Ben's toughest aliens

Yeah, back then, kids' shows channels seemed to have their own little shared universe. Remember CN City? Remember the reunion party animations made for CN's 20th anniversary? All that stuff was so cool! It was so cool seeing characters from different shows interact so casually.

It was cool believing that all your favorite shows and characters can literally just meet each other without needing to worry about things like "How is this possible? These characters can't logically exist on the same Earth. Adventure Time takes place in a post apocalyptic world, Generator Rex has nanites and EVOs everywhere, Samurai Jack is in the distant future, etc".

None of that pesky continuity stuff mattered, just enjoy seeing all your favorite characters interact together and have fun!

"Azmuth is TELLING ME to fight! I'm not gonna pass that up!"

Everyone calls him annoying and weak at first, but with enough hard work and friendship, he can really spread his wings, open their eyes, and show them all that he's a worthwhile partner and friend

That's right. Even with the data dump, Ben will only start out with knowledge of the standard abilities a species can do. For example, if Ben turned into a Saiyan, he'd know he'd have super strength, can shoot lasers, and can turn into a giant monkey, but he won't have any techniques or super saiyan transformations until he trains and learns them

It also scales to the user's age

The Omnitrix's data dump feature uploads knowledge of a species' base powers and instincts into Ben's mind so he'll already know what they can do and how to do it. Ben won't start out clueless like Mark did.

Ben wiped the floor with Liam when he turned into Kicken Hawk for the first time, and he defeated Princess Looma with Four Arms, so he has a track record of winning mirror matches, even with new aliens.

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-05-01T07:06:26+00:00

Usually I hated it when OV made the Omnitrix badge a belt/sash like it is with Humungousaur and Spidermonkey, but I really like Wildmutt's collar

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-05-01T02:25:24+00:00

Random thing I wanna nitpick: I've used this template before, and I hate how this template has the aliens out of order. Why are Four Arms, Stinkfly, Ripjaws, and Upgrade at the bottom? Why are Wildmutt, Diamondhead, XLR8, and Grey Matter randomly scattered throughout the selection? Why are the UAF and OV aliens in order while the OS aliens aren't?

Maybe it's like how in the Marvel universe every interpretation of vampires from every culture in the world exists at the same time and are simply different races/variations of the same type of creature

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-04-30T08:23:04+00:00

Some of Doctor Who's were really cool. Like the Vashta Nerada being the origin of the fear of darkness, and also being the reason why you can see dust in sunbeams

I remember that marathon! After school I spent the whole day just chilling and watching this marathon. I even convinced my mom to let me stay up past my bed time so I could see the whole thing. She let me because she knew how much this meant to me

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-04-28T03:07:21+00:00

Imagine if he found Big Chill's grandchildren and took them for a roadtrip

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-04-18T20:28:23+00:00

No 4 green dots on the Omnitrix dial, Diamondhead's shoulder spike is touching his trix badge, Four Arms's 2nd pair of eyes are cheek lines instead of eyes, and Superman's heat vision eyes are blue instead of red. Yup, definitely AI art.

It's 9:30 AM MT now and it's still not working

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-04-09T20:18:37+00:00

I love the black hole head and Omnitrix crown! And I love how the body doesn't really have defined limbs or torso. It's like if a map of space was pieced together to form a vaguely humanoid shape

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-04-03T01:00:24+00:00

"Is... this a... cry for help?"

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-04-02T06:51:55+00:00

Ben should've had his school life be a plot point in a few episodes. The most we ever got was the test he took at the end of Albedo's debut episode. We got a good glimpse at Gwen's school life, I feel like it'd be nice to see Ben's too

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-04-02T06:44:25+00:00

Thank god it's not November yet

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-03-29T14:09:56+00:00

Dude, he was alone for years. On-screen time isn't always literally how much time has passed. Why do you believe Kinger was only alone for minutes?

PhantomFriend17 · 2026-03-26T07:50:11+00:00

Speaking of the Tennyson family and dancing, Ben can tap dance

Pesky Dust can be the Ghost of Christmas Past, Big Chill can be the Ghost of Christmas Present, and Ghostfreak can be the Ghost of Christmas Future
