Description I saw a news about the new Ben 10 reboot on twitter a few days ago, and it got me thinking about the series again. I really love the original Ben 10 series. Then all the Ben 10 series after just sucks (in my opinion).

I hated that they made Gwen's "magic" actually just alien powers mana controlling thingy (basically just telephatic powers, a very dull and basic version at that) instead of real magic. I feel like they narrowed the series' potential storyline. Why would you do that? Imagine if they actually explore that.

What if there's other alien races who practices magic but with different ways to control it? Like how the western and eastern alchemy in Fullmetal Alchemist. What if there's an alien race who actually masters and understands magic which to them is just a part of science? Imagine putting Gwen in the middle of this, learning all this things and new ways to use her magic adding to her magic arsenal. It could've been epic.

They also made Kevin a good guy, which has potential IMO, maybe they can do a redemption story arc for Kevin, yknow, let him earn it, because he had done terrible things before. Maybe he experience something in the prison void with Vilgax. What if they both got out of the void, with the help from a mysterious powerful alien. And this alien tortured them both for information about the omnitrix. What if the alien strips all the aliens' DNA inside of Kevin and leaving him to die powerless.

So he have to survive by absorbing other weaker aliens' DNA to get their ability to help him survive (that should be his power, not absorbing materials or whatever that is they tried in Alien Force). So he learn how to collect and grow alien DNAs so that he could use to transform in battle. So now he has an arsenal of alien DNAs in a capsule-like tubes that he keeps in his utility belt to change parts of his body into any alien he wants. And he is on a mission to stop the alien that tortures him from getting the omnitrix because if there's anyone he hates more than Ben, is that alien. 

ps: sorry for the wall of text its just my idea for a Ben 10 series, I feel like I want to get it out here. I would make this a continuation of the original first Ben 10 series.

I did like Alien Force, Ultimate Alien, and Omniverse, but I wish they did not give Gwen long hair and make her some kind of part human and part alien creature, make Kevin absorb metal and other solids, change the voice actors for certain aliens and/or villains, and change the look for the Omnitrix.

I absolutely agree about the OS and the sequels. I also like your art better than the AF versions. 

I also agree about Kevin. A hero, or villain can change sides but not in the span on one episode. It takes at least a season to do it believably and probably longer than that. I don't really see him becoming a hero though, maybe more of an anti-hero. And it just would never fit for Gwen to trust him enough to fall for him.  Okay they made the mistake of making Ben and Gwen cousins so in western culture they can't be the canon couple but there are better choices for her.
They also could have come  up with a better choice for Ben really. 

Anyway great work.

Dude Ben 10 was my first love, it got me into the whole superhero genre. It's served as bass point for all the things I love. Seeing that you loved it as well makes me feel awesome. I new about the reboot a year ago, can't wait, I do hope they don't make it a stupid reboot like teen titans go or the new powerpuff girls.

Yeah, I also liked a lot the first series! The second one wasn't that good, but still, not too bad... And the rest were just crap. I wish that the reeboot could be more serious and totally less childish, without losing the spark of comedy, obviously.

I like the sequels, each had flaws, but still enjoyable to me. I'm sure the reboot will be good because Man Of Action are coming back for the reboot as well as the staff who worked on Generator Rex.

I sure hope you're right.

I know I'm right, Man Of Action wouldn't destroy their own creation. This series is what they always wanted to do for Ben 10.

One of the guys I grew up on. And one of the best (Plot-driven) shows on Cartoon Network.

I actually love all the series, but I understand your opinion. They didn't seem to put much effort into the sequels (they seemed to hold back a lot because the show is aimed toward younger audiences), they were good, but could have been way better than what we got. Also, this is a really awesome pic btw. I like your ideas of a redemption episode for Kevin, maybe Ben cures him with the Omnitrix and Kevin becomes part of the team later in the story, kinda like Steven Universe with Peridot.

I'm really looking forward to the new series, sucks it's not getting much love toward most people even though people asked for it.

I'm glad you like them, at least you get to enjoy them
I just can't... I hated Alien Force and Ultimate Alien just made me loose interest altogether

And the other ones didn't impress me either..
This new one looks more childish, but we'll see I guess.

No problem, Man of Action was not part of any the sequels so the were just a hit and a miss. I'm not the biggest fan of the art they chose for this, but people shouldn't judge a book by its cover. That's what made people hate Omniverse, which was pretty good even if they tried too hard with dumb jokes. At least it was a hell of a lot better than Teen Titans Go!

The art style may not be the best. I wish we went with the Legend of Korra art style and animation, but they are busy with Voltron. I'm looking forward to the series and hope it will have interesting stories.

yeah you right. Hope not like Teen Titans Go!, because the teen titans go! in Cartoon Network look....more.....like people just make the teen titans crazy and weird :/ like they add the adult joke there or the ending look much weird e.e

i hope the next ben 10 would not be like that :c
