Ben 10: Omniverse

Ben 10 and all its spin off series have had their ups and downs, from simple Saturday morning cartoon to darker and more serious action cartoon and now a more comedy and action balanced show. All fans have different opinions of which was the best and I am no different, but Ben 10 Omniverse isn't as bad as it may seem. Omniverse trades out the Saturday morning cartoon "monster of the week" for multiple episode arcs. The monster of the week part is still there, but bigger villains usually take a little long to beat. Because of this, a lot of story elements take longer to resolve, which isn't a bad thing, and give more to enjoy in character interactions. It may have a slow start, but as it goes on and new characters and villains are added, it only makes the show better and better.

If you enjoy multiple episode arcs and a better balance of comedy and action, I highly recommend Omniverse, and if not their are plenty of different Ben 10 out their to enjoy.

I'm so fed up with all the negative reviews I've seen Omniverse getting that I just had to write my own for it.

For me, Ben 10: Omniverse saved what Ultimate Alien destroyed. I found the story to be lacking and actually dropped the show during that season because it just didn't hold any interest. I also have to admit that since the new art style of Omniverse didn't appeal to my eye, I completely ignored it for the first two seasons.

However, I lately found myself missing the feeling of Ben 10 and tried to re-watch it through starting with the first season but sadly, not many of those episodes could hold a second watch and still be interesting; amidst my watching of the original series, I stumbled upon some later episode of Omniverse and fell in love in those 20 minutes.

The light feeling and the chemistry between the new duo was much better than I'd assumed and even though the art and animation were still sore to my eyes, I got past them because the experience itself was pleasant.

I admit that the art and animation of the earlier seasons is much more to my taste and even though I hate the new look they gave Gwen, I think this show is exactly what the franchise needed. I agree that it might have had the feeling of milking it away during Ultimate Alien, which to me had no point what so ever but now I feel like I'm back to getting the same feeling as I did when I first started watching the show Ben 10.

Although the flashback stories and the 11-year-old Ben in this series could be better written and more loyal to the original series and are probably the worst part of it, I would give it a change. They keep putting more and more focus on the present time and keeping the flashbacks as a minimum "refreshments". You will always see a lot of people putting it down, but to me it has been the only series of the franchise that's been able to last interesting past the first watch. I actually watched the both seasons twice in three weeks just because of how pleasantly surprised I was by them.

And now the new color palette of the third season promises something new and I am eagerly waiting what's to come.

So, despite all the negative reviews you might hear about it, I would give Omniverse chance anyway - as it seems to be one of those sequel shows that divide people harshly in those who love it and those who hate it and you might just as well be part of us belonging to the former.

When I first saw the ad for Ben 10: Omniverse, I was like "That looks lame" and "what's with that weird animation style". Then I actually watched it. The show was action packed, but not too action packed, and there was plenty of comic relief. The story line was easy to follow, and the use of classic characters was great! Then there was the flashbacks. They basically rebooted Ben 10 and went to after the Dagon incident. But the reboot wasn't a bad thing, it just added an extra summer in which Ben is eleven years old. It didn't really affect anything with the story to seriously. The only problem was with the show was the part where it's revealed that certain characters original backgrounds were fabricated by a secret organization. Besides that, the show was perfect. In conclusion, a lot of people said that the show nearly "killed the franchise", but I think it just added to the awesomeness that is Ben 10.

Seriously a nice change that others can't simply hand this show makes you laugh and have a good time. A real breath of fresh air.

I have to mention the fantastic work done by the voice cast. The actors are from the older series, and I have no problems with that whatsoever. I think they may even be better here in Ben 10: Omniverse. The performers play off of each other really well in each scene.

Very obvious that they recorded their lines in the same booth, because their timing is perfect. The voices themselves are very natural and flowing, done in such a way that seems very fitting for each character.

In my opinion, Ben 10: Omniverse is worth a watch. Some of the jokes fall flat sometimes, but when a joke actually hits, it tends to hit hard.

I don't understand why some dislike the this show however it might just be spite because it's not the same Ben 10 they grew up with.

The end to one of my favorite franchises as a kid. Ben 10: Omniverse is in par with in terms of story writing and plot compared to the 3 previous installments but it does bring a satisfying ending to the franchise.

The writing could have been better but was solid for the most part. The plot was good though it had some flaws and issues and was quiet inconsistent at times The flashbacks are solid. The atmosphere was likable, wacky and full of fun similiar to that of the original. Some episodes were good while others fell of alot. This really brings the spirit of the original Ben 10 series which was awesome . It was quiet shallow but thats to be expecetd since it's a kids show.

The artstyle was quiet the surprise and disappointment. Like why does Gwen's have freckles and her face is shortened . The intro and voice acting was fantastic. Even though the intro was quiet short it matches the level of quality to that of the original. It was more vibrant and better animated than before with more creative characters and set designs. The villians are alright.

Overall a semi enjoyable show
