Recap / Ben 10 Omniverse S 4 E 1 Food Around The Corner

Go To

Ben, as Gravattack, attempts to moderate a fragile peace conference, but must endure the attacks of tiny alien fleas which have inhabited his body.


Tropes:

  • A Day in the Limelight: Downplayed with Gravattack. Ben transforms into other aliens (albeit briefly) but spends the majority of the episode as Gravattack.
  • And This Is for...: Ben does this as Rath while fighting Poltroon, putting him on the receiving end of a few wrestling moves.
    Rath: (grabs Poltroon's arm) This is for trying to blow up my people! (throws him a good ways down the hall) This is for trying to blow up your people! (jumps at him, giving him a knee to the chest, then grabs him by the shoulders) AND THIS IS FOR TRYING TO BLOW UP ME!
  • Badass Boast: Rath gives one to Poltroon during their fight in the third act.
    Poltroon: You're the universe's greatest hero? You don't seem impressive.
    Rath: Rath isn't about being impressive. Rath is about being angry, and RATH'S ANGRY IS IMPRESSIVE!!
  • Calling Your Attacks: As usual, Rath does this with the wrestling moves he uses on Poltroon.
    Rath: POLARIS PILEDRIVER! CAPELLAN VOMIT COMET! SIRIUS BUTT-KICKING!
  • Exposed Extraterrestrials: Rath is this even by his own species' standards, as it turns out despite their loud and aggressive demeanor, Appoplexians have an advanced sense of shame.
  • The Reveal: Played for Laughs. We find out that Appoplexians actually wear clothes due to having a highly advanced sense of shame. Ben is naturally mortified to learn this.
    Driba: But that would mean all this time, Rath has been running around… (eyes widen)
    Blukic: Buuuck nekked.
    Gravattack: (muttering) Oh, so not good…
  • Wham Line: As it's part of the above mentioned reveal, it's also Played for Laughs.
    Gravattack: Everybody, everybody relax! This is supposed to be a peace conference, so let's try to calm down and stay focused on, uh… Are… (points at Malice) are you wearing pants? Wait, wait, wait, time out. You wear clothes? Appoplexians wear pants??

Rath has been naked all along

We find out that Appoplexians actually wear clothes due to having a highly advanced sense of shame, meaning Rath has been running around nude all this time. Ben is naturally mortified to learn this.

How well does it match the trope?
