YMMV / Ben 10: Guardians

• Base-Breaking Character: Valkyrie, primarily due to being a case of Gender Bender for Ben. Some fans argue this shouldn't be possible, due to the Omnitrix maintaining the owner's gender, and the excuse to justify her being an exception is flimsy; others don't care, and enjoy her as an unique alien. It should be noted that Necrofridgians, like Big Chill are genderless, so Valkyrie being a Gender Bender comes across as more likely than you think.
• Broken Base: The multiple addition of new aliens for Ben to almost each episode. Some have voiced concern that there may end up too many of them, and the writer might end up so focused on adding new aliens he'll forget to flesh out the ones already there. Others like the new additions. The author has taken the concerns into account and has said he has a set amount now.
• Character Rerailment:
  • Ben is back to being more emotionally mature, while not holding the Jerkass Ball he gained in Omniverse and having his Chronic Hero Syndrome restored.
  • Vilgax is back to the nigh unstoppable fighter he was in the original series.
• Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: The author tries his best to make characters likeable. Even Nyancy-Chan became a threat.
  • Walkatrout (named Slipschool in this story) was made more likable by giving him enhanced swimming, biting capabilities, and the ability to create a swarm of scales that he can shape however he likes.
• Unexpected Character: Prisoner 775, named Valrean, appears as a prisoner in the Plumber HQ. as well as some other characters such as one of the Great One's former followers and some other minor characters making appearances.
