Warp That Aesop / Ben 10

Go To

Original Series

  • Wandering off alone and messing with unknown and strange objects that fell from the sky will make you into a superhero!
  • Responsible adults like your grandfather won't do everything they can to get a danger magnet of unfathomable power off your wrist, even though he has some knowledge of the dangers you may face. And don't worry about things like serious or fatal injury when fighting crime; you are indestructible and can handle anything, and any damage will go away once you turn back to normal.
  • It's perfectly acceptable for you to have sexual tension with your cousin. People will think it's cute.
    • (Oddly Enough) Likewise to that: It's perfectly normal for any child to have a Sibling Rivalry relationship with almost any other child even with other similar aged relatives they rarely ever see. Because all kids do that.....RIGHT??
  • All aliens are awesome, meanwhile humans don't have any power and suck.
  • Beware of senior citizens, they may seem nice on the outside, but inside they're full of evil.

Ben 10 Alien Force

  • After five years in a harsh and merciless environment, that sociopathic kid who always tried to kill you will have a change of heart and join you when you meet him again for the first time, and eventually become your best friend. Your cousin, who once risked her life to save you from him, will want to hook up with him after just a few days of meeting him again, even though you both know he still takes part in illegal activities. You should fully support this decision.
  • Suddenly have the main character yell the names of whatever alien he turns into because kids aren't smart enough to remember the names unless they're forcefully burned into their heads!!
  • You can have a history of being an unbelievably immature idiot, and you'll still be the only one worthy of wearing the most powerful item in the known universe, even more so than your grandfather, who was known as the greatest member of his organization.
  • Your maturity will ping-pong with the seriousness of the overall story arcs, as will your chances of pissing off your girlfriend and getting cockblocked.

Ben 10 Ultimate Alien

  • Trying to do the right thing will only end up making things worse.
  • It's okay for your friends to use their special abilities while playing a game, but you shouldn't because it upsets your over competitive girlfriend.
  • Turning evil can help you defeat other villains.
  • Listening to that little voice in your head can suck you into an alternate dimension.
  • It's okay to kill people to bring back your father. Might as well destroy Konoha, too! What, is Yuri Lowenthal writing the plots now?! You are voicing Ben, not Sasuke!
  • If you are an immortal blessed with eternal youth thanks to the alien technology of a sword, then you will die in the most abrupt and unceremonious manner without even getting a Final Speech.
  • Continent-sized omnipresent Cthulhu-like squids can be slain by sucking them into an alien vacuum.
  • If the watch that lets you transform into super, even more badass forms of your aliens, by all means, don't exploit it! Instead, think up a couple of transformations and ignore the rest of the possibilities!
  • If the opening credits showcase all the forms you can turn into, some of which haven't been seen for years, don't even incorporate them into the story so you can let down your eager fans. Instead, turn into Humongousaur for the eleventy zillionth skullfucking time!

Ben 10 Omniverse

  • Even though you want to go it alone sometimes, you will still be forced to meet people you don't really want to meet anyway, and even if you start liking them, they will still berate you.
