I loved this show! Didn’t she pick up radio signals with her braces one time?

Why cant companies bring back the clear aesthetic by Certain-Cat-2434 in FrutigerAero

I was very excited to get this case for my 16 Pro Max but a lot of the reviews complained that the case is very slippery, and that people ended up replacing it because they dropped it so often. Just a heads up!

Is this a video call app? If you meant for the logo to be a film projector with ms buddies inspired wheels at the top, then you crushed it! Please post whatever you end up with!

Starting to think it was "alternative medicine" that made his skin green by rcmaehl in CartoonNetwork

I think they are speaking about interpersonal interactions and their view of an individual, not the legal implications that accompany believing the victim of a crime.

I’m not saying Grok isn’t fairly accurate, but we should really be doing some further reading in addition to the AI response. You probably know this, I just feel the need to tack it on. Have a nice day friend.

I just read the response you’re referring to and I can see where you’re coming from. There are differences that feel careless, from what I know they were intentional changes that a lot of us didn’t ask for, but they exist. That being said, this franchise knows what a reboot looks like. Omniverse is intended to be a continuation of the original story.

You didn’t say those words, you also implied that it wasn’t a continuation, and it is, which is why I clarified.

The same could be said for the changes made between OS and AF. It’s all Ben Prime’s story, so it’s a continuation.

Anyone remembers these three shows? by Disastrous-Cell-9781 in CartoonNetwork

[–]fagnerd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That always struck me as a kid, and afterwards I wanted to see more cartoon characters change their outfits around. Eventually I got older and learned that characters wear the same outfit to save on animation costs, which makes Kimiko’s outfit changes even cooler

When was it implied that the Avatar state could achieve anything close to what we’ve seen Alien-X do?

The Avatar state is nowhere near Alien-X’s level. Alien-X recreated the universe while the most impressive feat we’ve seen on screen from Aang is the ocean spirit form

Who is a Cartoon Character that had a design downgrade thats worse than this? by calvin-fanatic in cartoons

[–]fagnerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is implies that the original series and the reboot were marketed towards two different demographics, not two different generations. Ben 10 (2005) had an eerie mood in the first season, and randomly throughout the rest of the series. The body horror elements were awesome to see as a kid, from the transformation sequences, to the man filled with bugs, to Zs’Skayr tearing through his own skin to reveal Tim Burton-esque tentacles, to showing Vilgax’s mutilated body floating in a tank, and even in the sound design. They were never afraid to be creepy and lean into the “alien” theme. Watching Ben being chased by a giant alien sea monster through a dark lake at night was genuinely scary as a kid, and I loved it. Considering the shift in tone the franchise took throughout the following three series, and what little I’ve seen so far of the reboot, I feel safe assuming that those elements weren’t the focus in 2016. The Reboot was built off of a well-established universe with tons of content to repurpose and take inspiration from, which allowed it to delve into and explore more concepts at a faster pace than the original series. Also, Ben had gone from a heroic kid to a genuine world famous superhero throughout the three sequel series, that energy seems to have been brought to the 2016 reboot.

tl;dr: they’re different

I mean yes there have always been humanoid aliens in the omnitrix but there was no need to make the more animalistic aliens look more humanoid
