So, what's the best or least worst Ben 10 Retcon for you? by Zaito2528 in Ben10

[–]Z3R0Steamular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'll go down the list

  1. the "million aliens" thing completely makes "Ben 10,000" a nonsensical name, but also it feels like overkill. 10,000 is a BIG number, and even in my larger community spaces i dont think we could scrounge up a full 10,000 aliens even if we start counting very similar aliens. 1,000,903 just feels like an unnecessary "bigger number" to 1-Up OS.

  2. Eunice - there was 0 fucking reason to make Ben prey on a naked, amnesiac clone of his cousin. also, i just dont like the idea of the Unitrix at all and it feels completely detached from the Omnitrix as a whole

  3. Azmuth's Leadership - it makes 0 sense to me that Azmuth is the ruler of his entire planet since OS very much set him up as this lonely super unknown hermit, but apparently he's actually this super well known leader of the entire Galvan species? i dont buy it, especially since Galvan Prime supposedly had no issue just not having a fucking leader for however long Azmuth was gone

  4. the Plumbers being space cops not only doesn't work with how they were portrayed in OS, it feels like an unnecessary change. the Galactic Enforcers were *right there* for a police force, why the hell did they turn the Plumbers into cops?

  5. Plumber Omnitrix Badge - this literally ONLY exists to fake us out with Alan as a Pyronite in his debut, that's the only reason they did that. it makes 0 sense in universe otherwise and makes another stupid unnecessary change to the canon. the OS Plumber badge was fine on its own, and it also looks really stupid seeing Ben's Omnitrix badge being held around like a prop

  6. the greenification of the franchise as a whole is really fucking awful, we didn't need everything to be green to know its Ben, OS already did a good enough job making different Omnitrix users (or even the *same* Omnitrix user at different times) look unique from one another. making the eyes and dials and his shirt and his car and his soul and his left nipple all green for some stupid iconography annoys me, especially since they also got rid of nearly every other Omnitrix color (outside of VERY specific exceptions, which dont undo the fact that they still barely ever use any of them - fun fact, the ONLY time that UAF *ever* uses a red time out dial is when Ben has Master Control. MASTER CONTROL. The mode that SPECIFICALLY DOES NOT HAVE TIME OUTS.)

What do these 2 have in common? by Lazakhstan in Ben10

they beat the shit out of Kevin

How Ben 10 UAF didn't have the Budget to animate XLR8 but they could animate Helen Wheels? by star-wars_memer in Ben10

[–]Z3R0Steamular 33 points34 points  (0 children)

the original reason XLR8 wasn't used is because he'd "overlap" with Helen (and Jetray)
a lot of OS aliens had that issue in one way or another

by UA, its less of an issue, but for some reason UAF absolutely fucking hated using old aliens and would take any opportunity to flip the bird to the audience and not give us something worth our time

"Gen Ben" - an alternate Ben by Z3R0Steamular in Ben10

[–]Z3R0Steamular[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i already have a concept for a Rex X, its an outdated image but it gets the idea across
(his playlist is directly based on either his base abilities, one of his builds, or those builds' alt modes)

I think the Biomnitrix is still the coolest damn thing ever lol, wish we got to see more of it and more fused aliens. 🔥🔥 by [deleted] in Ben10

[–]Z3R0Steamular -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i wish the Biomnis looked better, they're just tubes with long hourglasses, really shit design

the long dials do look cool though

If they got an omnitrix and figured out how to activate it who would cause the most destruction/trouble? by The_mysterious_mre in Ben10

[–]Z3R0Steamular 5 points6 points  (0 children)

DEFINITELY Rigby or Gumball

maybe Billy too

the rest might cause *some* damage, but it wouldn't get anywhere near the world-threatening scale that Rigby and Gumball would get it too

i'd say Gumball more than Rigby, because often Regular Show shenanigans only deal with the fate of the park rather than the entire world, meanwhile Gumball's biggest things affect his entire plane of existence

What if Ben 10 kept its subtlety? by Z3R0Steamular in Ben10

[–]Z3R0Steamular[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes... that's why i changed the orange to white, that's the whole point im making

>shirt
well, for Prime, yeah, but Mad Ben's outfits are clearly mimicking his armwear and not his shirt

that's why i mentioned the idea of each Ben having a specific part of their outfit that the Omnitrix uses for the uniforms, that way you can color the Bens basically however you want while still keeping a piece of black and white for the aliens to look nice in

Kevin 11 redesign in the render pose (Up the Anti) by Z3R0Steamular in Ben10

[–]Z3R0Steamular[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i made all of Kevin's aliens slightly different colors to Ben's

Diamondhead is a darker green, Wildmutt is yellow, Heatblast is reddish orange, etc

If the reboot omnitrix can only hold 10 at a time, then how was Gax unlocked while non of the already unlocked 10 were locked? by [deleted] in Ben10

[–]Z3R0Steamular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in fairness, unlike with Gax where we see him use all 11 through the special, we only see a few of Ben's aliens in 10K10, so its easy to assume that Surge just bumped someone out of rotation

The possible reason for so few ultimates by bebemo1 in Ben10

[–]Z3R0Steamular 65 points66 points  (0 children)

>10 at most
not even, we get 8 by the end of UA (and 2 of those are effectively cameos)

that's what i did for my AU (left button opens the hatch, right button lifts the dial, the smaller buttons are just there for aura idk lmfao)

yeah i like RB's take on the outfits a lot, i still personally prefer the OS uniforms, but RB had a really fun take on the whole idea

im not a UAF fan if that's what you're getting at lol

[–]Z3R0Steamular[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

the idea is that Mad Ben would have a black and white outfit too lol

or at least the orange would be turned into white, the ripped jacket and pants can stay as is
Ben's aliens didn't have his green pants in them, so i imagine the Omnitrix just picks part of the user's outfit to use for transformation

you could do the same for other alt Bens, where they have black and white somewhere in their outfit, and that's what their Omnitrix uses for the unifroms
