Okaaaay... I think you are the first review I read who agree with me about aproximatively EVERY point. Glad to see I am not the only one to think this show is only getting more mediocre as it's going on.
I never found Omniverse good to begin with, but I didn't expect it to get so bad.
MOO!
Yeah Omniverse pretty much shits on the characterization and development over forced stupidity and childishness.
Haven't seen this show, but if you're mad about retcons and plot holes, why aren't you mad about Alien force and Ultimate Alien?
I don't think Ben 10 was ever good, so it's unlikely to improve in it's 4th season...
I don't recall AF AND UA having any major plot holes or retcons that weren't solved later in series.
Electric Nova: One, Omniverse is the fourth SERIES, not season. Two, if you don't like Ben 10 to begin with then what are you doing on this page?
I completely agree with this.
\"Yeah Omniverse pretty much shits on the characterization and development over forced stupidity and childishness\" Hey come on now.
Digi, please, don\'t revive an 8 years old review. The probability that the reviewer is not a troper anymore is quite high.
He\'s been banned from the review section after I brought him to Ask The Tropers.
^ considering they didn\'t add anything of value to these reviews, good call.
^^ Yeah, I didn\'t know that at the time (I even sent them a PM and everything).

I Hate This Show As Much As Clement Hates Sonic 06 (Kirbypower's Review of Ben 10: Omniverse)
I've been a fan of Ben 10 since the original series. I fully enjoyed the original series as well as Ben 10: Alien Force and Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, which other fans have turned against. However, Ben 10: Omniverse is the WORST iteration of the Ben 10 series and I hate it with a fiery passion. I have not watched every episode, but I have watched more than enough to review Ben 10: Omniverse. I didn't want to hate Ben 10: Omniverse, but as it got closer to debut, I became more alienated from Ben 10: Omniverse (no pun intended). I then gave a few episodes a watch and I began to like certain aspects of Ben 10: Omniverse, but they ultimately couldn't save this show from joining Ultimate Spider-Man, Avengers Assemble, and Pokemon Black & White as one of the worst shows ever made.
THE POSITIVES OF BEN 10: OMNIVERSE
I like Rook, Khyber, and Malware. Rook is a perfect foil to Ben to the point that I like him even more than Ben as of late, and he also gets a chuckle out of me with his naivete, Khyber is a great adversary for Ben to face due to his strategic approach when dealing with Ben, and Malware is one of the deadliest enemies Ben has ever faced, making his death all the sadder since he made the show good when he appeared.
Here is what I don't like about Omniverse. First, the new artstyle. Ben 10 had a good art style, and AF/UA looked like it belonged in the DCAU, but Omniverse is way too simplistic for my tastes. I prefer detailed art in my animated shows. Second, the removal of Gwen and Kevin as main characters. There was no need to remove Gwen and Kevin from the cast. They have been major characters since the original series, so to remove Gwen and Kevin was not something I liked. Third, the way Ben and Julie were broken up. Ben and Julie's break-up was one of the most convoluted moments ever, since it was completely unneeded and stupid. Fourth, the change in tone. I liked AF/UA's darker tone, so to suddenly go back to a lighter tone bothered me. I'll take the original series, thank you. Fifth, the retcons. Ben 10: Omniverse has made many retcons to the Ben 10 franchise, supposedly to clean up the narrative, but I view it as an insult to Dwayne Mc Duffie's legacy and it creates plotholes that didn't need to exist. Finally, the character derailments. Ben is completely unlikable here due to his arrogance and stupidity. I HATE BEN 10: OMNIVERSE!
