** ''Franchise/Ben10'' has some of this due to its BrokenBase nature. Some viewers don't see the original ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' series as the only good one, nor do they enjoy the LighterAndSofter approach Man of Action took in later adaptations. Instead, they prefer Glen Murakami and Creator/DwayneMcDuffie's sequel series, ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' and ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'', which has a Darker and Edgier tone while still allowing for character development and growth for Ben and Gwen. On the other hand, there are also fans of Matt Youngberg and Derrick Wyatt's ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'', which has a more DenserAndWackier feel, harkening back to the lightheartedness of the original series. For those who ''do'' see the original series as the only good or best incarnation yet don't subscribe to OnlyTheCreatorDoesItRight in regards to Man of Action due to not liking their [[WesternAnimation/Ben102016 reboot of the franchise]], the lead writer duo of Thomas Pugsley and Greg Klein hold the "Real Daddy" position.

The previous editor does not seem to know what a showrunner is, what one actually does, or how the show was developed. The late Michael Reaves (who was not hired until nearly a year after the show's change to drama) constantly praised Greg Weisman as the show's creator, said at cons (which he attended multiple times after the show ended, even with Parkinson's disease) that nobody is as passionate about the show as Greg Weisman. The other writers and voice actors also acknowledge Weisman as creator, you can even hear Brynne Chandler appear with Greg on the Voices from the Eyrie podcast. Weisman discusses his lack of writing credits on their Awakening Part Five episode and is often humble, honest, and quick to pass out credit right and left to others.


* Ever want to get a bunch of ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' fans riled up? Just bring up the idea that Creator/GregWeisman isn't really the show's creator -- Michael Reaves is. (The show in fact has no official "created by" credit.) Weisman is undoubtedly the show's post-series biggest booster, and pitched an early goofy comic version of ''Gargoyles'' that's unrecognizable compared to the finished show; Reaves actually wrote the series' first five episodes that set everything up, and most of the series' subsequent high points. (Wiseman himself did not receive a writing credit on any episode until the dire spin-off/continuation ''Gargoyles: The Goliath Chronicles''.) Virtually everything that people remember about ''Gargoyles'' was Reaves' work, but Reaves suffered from Parkinson's disease and was unable to talk -- and was eventually, after the show ended, unable to write -- so he generally did not appear at conventions, or give interviews, or promote his work on the show. Wiseman, meanwhile, who genuinely did love ''Gargoyles'' and was involved on the production end from the get-go, hyped himself as the show's creator at every opportunity. The reality is much more complex, but under Writers Guild practices, Reaves would be credited as the creator of ''Gargoyles'', and Wiseman (with no writing credits whatsoever on the original 65-episode run) would have no claim to a creator credit. (Non-prime-time animation, however, is not covered by the Guild.)
