THE REVIEW
I watch each episode with my own commentary, often pausing the scenes to get my words out without having to talk over the episode, and also to point out and analyze the show's art and animation. I have seen each episode already growing up, so these reviews are to compare and contrast the five categories listed below.
PLOT (Scaled from 1 to 5 Points)
The foundation of the episode. Uniqueness and overused tropes are taken into account, but it is also judged on how well it tells the story of the episode. An episode can score a 5 even with a basic/ cliche plotline as long as it has good pacing, worthy use of its tropes, and feels well-polished. An episode can lose points due to plotholes, uneven storytelling, and relying too heavily on cliches to do the work for it.
CHARACTERIZATION (Scaled from 1 to 5 Points)
How well the characters are written. Do they feel like themselves compared to the grand narrative of the franchise? Are the supporting or one-off characters interesting, or pure plot devices? Did the humor land? Did the actions and character motivations make sense?
VISUALS (Scaled from 1 to 5 Points)
Basically, everything that happens on-screen. Character Design. Animation. Backgrounds. Creative mechanics and solutions. If there is CGI or digital effects added, how well do they blend into the show, and were they used as an enhancement, or a crutch?
IMPORTANCE (Scaled from 1 to 5 Points)
This includes, but is not strictly based on, how important the episodes are to the current story arc (if there is one) or the general narrative of the Ben 10 Franchise. Points can also be awarded for how impactful the episode was, or how favored/ important it is to the general Ben 10 fanbase. I ask myself, "If I skipped this, would I be missing out on the 'Ben 10 Experience?' "
ENTERTAINMENT (Scaled from 1 to 5)
Pretty much the most important part of developing a tv show. You can be perfect in all four of the previous categories, but the episode can still be boring. On the flip side, the episode can be absolute garbage, but still an enjoyable watch. How likely would you be to put this episode on if you were in the mood to watch Ben 10?

Why do you guys always have to post so late at night where I'm from? my Mom's already complaining why I stay up at night for too long it's pretty annoying since I do want to watch your videos but I'm pretty tired and need rest at the same time this stinks for me oh well hope to enjoy the video
Kuro at the end of the classic series breakdowns could you make a video with all the highlights and reflect back on all 4 seasons and look at all the highest ranked episodes I think a video over that would be fun!!!!
Kuro does look really swag in his new look
Hi hi
4:56 do you think it is a chamalien species?
I love the face when Vilgax realizes Ben is about to throw him into space.
Yeah that face before the yeet
Wait a minute

I feel like the Eye Guy opening is the most canon, because it fit with the narrative that Ben unlocked an alien accidentally and try to use it and then somehow fail and it the reason why Animo able to capture Grandpa Max and Gwen.
But heatblast was the most badass and had well animated fight scenes I loved it I guess that's what you get for being the original alien intended for this movie still loved eye guy though not gonna lie
*Gwen
I quite literally always watch the Eye Guy opening just so I can see him one last time before moving on to DAA and AF (I have a complete season 4 DVD case which means I can watch all three openings of the movie).
That sounds pretty canon.
qwen lol
1:21 that was just too cool!
Ironically
lol ikr
True
What was special about it that everybody is talking about
@@sanjaypawar5297 eye guy
every time we see kuro he looks like himself but from alternate universes
Kuro should exist as a character in 5yl where there are multiple alternate versions of him
@lets get *burbs* funky Lol that could work too these damn celestialsapiens keep changing everything even reality itself
Right?
Lmao
@lets get *burbs* funky them fuckin celestialsapiens man
Personally I always loved the idea that the Omnitrix was created to help everyone understand one another and be in peace. I figure Azmuth initially intended to make more of them for everyone, but then saw the weapon potential and abandoned the idea.
I agree that Tetrax Myaxx and Gluto got wasted. So many great characters. Kinda would have been nice if they at least showed Myaxx on regular basis working with Azmuth even just as cameos. Heck, I would have loved to see a dynamic between her, Azmuth and Albedo!
It could alsod be possible that azmuth intended for a user to act as a sort of diplomat, perhaps a trusted plumber like Max who can help two species understand one another by transforming into both of them and walking in their shoes and using that experience to talk to them whilst sharing their experience and perspective from both side
Would have been cool
@@spectacular1spider This is further supported in Omniverse, with Ben having to turn into Gravattack to mediate between the Appoplexians and the Lewodans because Galileans are supposed to be good mediators
@@edgargaebolg9307 oh yes i remember that episode, i really liked that episode purely for the fact it shows how bens transformation can be used as a tool for diplomacy rather than just fighting bad guys
Tetrax is my favorite Ben 10 character of all time. He does technically appear in Omniverse, as an alternate version in Ben 23’s world.
“The Earth isn’t covered in skin”
Petropia seemed pretty plain and boring in Alien Force, but in the movie I never realized they show you the “intended canon” version of it
Well in my opinion after the high breed arc everything went down the hill.
@@micoddwarrior You're onto something here.
World building and backgrounds in alien force/ultimate alien were bad in general
@@N.I.A23 I agree
@@N.I.A23 World building was great for hybrid arc and same with the diagon one.
The reason there's only one Omnitrix is because the one in the original series is the prototype, not the official model. You don't start mass producing a product before finalizing its design.
Lol LMAO you're right that's common knowledge
Can you imagine if azmuth starts mass producing the omnitrix and now every one in the galaxy has one
Wonder if Alien X could perfectly make replicas with the DNA included? I'd guess so..

Vegeta:it's KAKORAT
@@thedragonballhunterschanne8279 No it's pikachu
No it’s sans from undertale!
Tectrax: you get a hoverboard and you get a hoverboard everybody gets a hoverboards
He’s genuinely my favorite character I wish we got to see more of him through more of the series
I Guess that his hobby
Yeah, Tetrax is like the Oprah of hoverboards
Not his character he'll let a character keep a hoverboard if that someone deserves it
We need an episode were is show that tetrax dream is to open a hoverboard shop, it would be cool to see him leaving the bounty hunting and open a shop in his home planet xd
I feel like both explanations for the omnitrix work. Azmuth hated that he built a device for war and he wanted to make something that's the opposite of that. So the omnitrix not only can represent peace and unity but it can bring about the opposite of war and death by reviving an entire species.
Also from Ultimate Alien it’s all because he’s trying to win his love back
(Does that make him a Simp?)
@@skibot9974Not really
You don't spend years of your life making something because of one reason you have dozens of reasons
Can we talk about how azmuth took the core but left the band. Yes he put the back but I could see Azmuth taking the core and just leaving Ben with the band stuck on his wrist forever
He did do that to Albedo in alien force
i mean its merged with his dna at that point cant really take the band off
@@_Tzer Villgax had a device to remove it, I’m sure Azmuth either has or could make one
@@jaycethebigguy oh yes but it seems azmuth isnt inhumane as that is painful
Ben somehow took it off in the null void to chase Vilgax away that time
Lets take a moment and appreciate the relationship between Ben and Gwen. In the Classic Series they are mostly found fighting with each other , but in Secret of The Omnitrix , when Ben loses (or he thinks he did) Gwen , he is genuinely sad and can't stop blaming himself. But when he found out that she's alive , he has tears in his eyes and runs towards her and hugs her , with Gwen having a smile on her face. This shows that they really care about each other. I think both fighting throughout the Classic Series helps building this moment in Secret of the Omnitrix. They both grow and care about each other. Ben as well genuinely grows in Season 4 , like how he gave his 'earned' money to the needy in Ready to Rumble ,and actually working with his team in Ben 10 vs Negative 10. In the episode The Ultimate Sacrifice , Ben kisses Gwen before sacrificing himself , which you can't even imagine the Classic Ben doing. In Omniverse when the Alien Force Trio gets seperated , both Ben and Gwen try not to make it a big deal of it , and say goodbye to each other remembering the time of their roadtrip. This is why Ben and Gwen are one of the best 'cousin' duos of all time in cartoons.
But they’re not even siblings
@@abdulmuhaymin3872 it was probably intentional because despite being cousins they sometimes act like siblings
@@mrkyurem5499 I know but I still wanted to point out that they are, technically siblings
@@abdulmuhaymin3872 you mean that they **aren't?
Ughh *cousin
Ben: understandably sad that he lost one of his closest family members
Kuro: oMg cOoL LiZarDS
Concerning Azmuth's explanation given here; is there any reason to assume he never intended to make more? Since I assumed he was telling the truth as a kid, my assumption was that Ben's Omnitrix was sort of a prototype that reached completion or close enough to it, and that Azmuth intended to mass produce the device once he was happy with it - but before he could word got out about the device and attracted all the wrong attention, leaving Azmuth to be disappointed in everyone seeing a weapon in his masterpiece, and so he didn't create more.
Wow that's impressive. You guessed that the first Omnitrix was a prototype years before that got revealed.
Good on ya
So what happened to make Azmuth make a new Omnitrix to replace the Ultimate version?
@@zeratul____1228 ben
@@zeratul____1228 I was just explaining my thoughts back when I watched the movie, it doesn't factor in anything past classic.
@@zeratul____1228 Azmuth did say he started working on the full thing after Ben got the prototype.
I like to think Azmuth did that either in case Ben ever needed the official thing or cause he hated the Ultimatrix so much.
Imagine if azmuth unlocked alien x instead of waybig like he just said "SCREW IT I'm just gonna give this kid one of the most powerful aliens in the omnitrix" that would have been hilarious
Azmuth would probably know that Alien X wouldn’t be a good idea, given how it works
Nah Ben ain't deserving of that type of power yet good joke though yeah and the whole Serena and Bellicus debate wouldn't be great
@lets get *burbs* funky Yeah he won't even give Ben master control what makes you think azmuth is just going to give him a celestialsapien
@lets get *burbs* funky I mean to even consider calling him stupid is kinda absurd considering the genius the guy is
Well, even if that happen. What if Ben suffers the same thing like in Alien Force, one action and then getting stuck with the other minds. What if he doesn't make a good choice or gets declined?
It’s very emotional when Gwen gets taken and Ben really thinks she is dead
Kuro: Oh, look! A cool lizard!
I’m sad we never got more tetrax in the original continuity. He’s one of my favourites.
I think this version of Azmuth is either my favourite or 2nd favourite.
I know right I actually thought he showed up more in the series such a wasted character with a good backstory
Tetrax is my favorite too.
6:34 I think Ben's referring to when he used the Omnitrix a second time in quick succession to chase Animo down, when he kept morphing before landing on Grey Matter. Gwen and Max warned him not to, but Ben insisted because Animo was getting away. I think the movie's implying that this botched transformation is what somehow initially started the countdown after Animo's reactor destabilized it.
Kind of a stretch since the movie heavily detailed the wave from the DNA bomb hitting the Omnitrix seems like the botched transformations we're just a side effect
Real quick... both explanations of why the Omnitrix was made are great, especially since this one is shared to an immature kid still growing and learning, while the second one is shared to a mature teen who understands his role in the universe and only plans to keep going... and both of the explanations can be correct at the same time, as Ben proves throughout the entire series... especially that scene with the other Big Chill that is shown
I think it's actually fascinating that they mentioned the destruction of Petropia in this movie and also followed it in Alien Force with Ben ressurecting the whole planet
With inconsistencies of course it's like they knew petropia got blew up by vilgax and they decided to make their own version of what happened which is exactly what they did
@@robertcagatin3690 Yes and it really fits the story don't you think ?

@@The_GhostWind chile anyways so
In my honest opinion, I think the way big's design in the classic series is the best designed one out of all the Ben 10 series. From a huge towering appearance to the colour schemes that he has his booming voice when he speaks because of how big he is and the multitude of blades around his body. I honestly didn't think he would have another set of eyes and thought these were more of cheeks spheres. But regardless it's still my favourite version of the way big
I like UAF better though
This and Omniverse were the best Way Big designs of all time. UAF was too bland in my opinion and until Omniverse came, it was the most popular version of Way Big.
@@meisnewperson yes I agree 👍too, have 4 eye on chin it a creepy idea and also thank to kuro I just realized he have 4 eyes because I was young I don't notice that 😲
@@driptennyson1024 it's a clean simple design and I love it
@@meisnewperson yep😀
9:14 it's possible that Azmuth was wearing the suit when he recruited Myaxx as his assistant
Ben having a massive existential crisis, and Kuro just analyzing the quick change animation. Valid
Also, you could argue that it was. The self destruct didn’t seem to activate until after Ben had already destroyed the machine. Where he technically went wrong was when he chased him down after the fact.
Doubt it since it was already orange and he would have to use it again eventually
@@craigpeoples9883 that was basically him confirming the self-destruct
@@HerohammerStudiosIs this confirmed?
"Look at Max with nothing"
It's not nothing, it's just his muscles.
Azmuth is... probably my second-favorite character in the Ben 10 franchise. He's one of those characters that, yes, he's smarter that basically everybody, but he doesn't flaunt it. He prefers to keep to himself, and doesn't look down on people for being lesser, only really judging them when they REALLY fuck up. And when the stakes are big, he DOES help out. Sure, in this movie he does have to grow into it, but he stays that way for the rest of the continuity.
"I'm the smartest being in 3, maybe 5 galaxies"
Remember when he came to Earth and called it a Backwater planet and he always shits on Ben for absolutely no reason
@@jerry7389 Everyone does that. Everyone calls earth backwater and shits on Ben.
@@CyberKirby yea i guess so son
Who is your favorite
What's funny to me is that this isn't the last time Waybig threw Vilgax into space.
"Looks like Vilgax is blasting off, agaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Gwen: being eaten right on screen
Kuro: wait look at those s h a p e s
16:35 “When in doubt, throw them into space”
"And with a Petrosapian and Arburian Pelarota in the same room, you've got Diamondbolt"
My mind just remembered Father Chrome and Car shots
Azmuth here felt a lot more casual and apathetic compared to his wise mentor schtick in later seasons.
I preferred the later seasons sort of like a yoda mentor type thing
I prefer the more snarky Azmuth, he feels more like a Ben 10 character and is more fun to watch than a begrudging, whiny, old dude. Not to mention I could actually see this version getting along with Ben.
I actually prefer Azmuth here and Omniverse, as his personality is believable and I can join those two together to see how he changed to be more patient over the years. I didn't really like the UAF version as it was more dramatic "Yoda-esque" take on him, something I don't feel suits Azmuth's personality because my point of reference is from this movie.
@@Substantial-hf1rm I don't like the UAF version so cranky but the omniverse is just so wise and smart and really feels like a guiding mentor to Ben and no longer a selfish, uncaring character and his voice fits him so well he actually feels like a first thinker the smartest being in five galaxies because he always has a plan for everything even in near death moments
@@zohebrafi Agreed I prefer omniverse as well
@4:40
I love this scene right here. It’s a big lesson for Ben to learn… FROM THE OMNITRIX!! He got the Alien he wanted, his strongest Alien at the time, and he still failed. This helped him a lot going forward to keep working with what the Omnitrix gives him.
I’d like to think the Omnitrix is sentient enough to help Ben learn how to use different aliens for different scenarios. It would go a long way for Azmuth’s intellect to create an AI so advanced, it analyzes the situation as Ben is seeing it, which isn’t a common thing for unenhanced humans.
‘This is too blue green as opposed to lime green’
>Changes lime to yellow
6:40 Ben is a child and after just experiencing the loss of Gwen it’s understandable that in his position of power he’d take responsibility and feel guilty, and with guilt, shame and the loss of a loved one it’s hard to make rational decisions and you’d need someone to tell you it’s not your fault.
Good point
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It doesn't really matter that the self destruct wasn't actually fault, just that Ben BELIEVED it to be his fault.
Doesn't really explain the way Gwen is acting towards Ben.
I like to know how he Turned From EYE GUY TO HEATBLAST THERE
Master control?
That or Kuro just used a cool transition for both versions of the same scene. Either way it was awesome!
Kuro just edited the scene lol
He edited that from the different versions of the movie
@@Yetigaming420 oh
I really love the explanation that Azmuth created the Omnitrix to help all the beings of the galaxy understand each other. The whole “I’m one of everybody.” is such a cool thing to me.
I first learned of "never fuck with cannonbolt" as soon as i saw that his ultimate form was pretty much the same, wich in the series means that hes already very strong and didnt need much upgrades
Even tho in real life it just means that the designers just didnt care much
Way bigs ultimate literally became taller and that was it
@@BreadOnInternet dont forget he also became blue and got 2 extra head thingys
@@alemsf its more like a cosmetic change not a boost of power
Does this explain why echo echo goes from decently strong to probably ben’s strongest ultimate alien? (except for ultimate way big)
@@strifer2781 frequency is more painful than you think
In the way I like to see it, the Omnitrix being a prototype suggests that Azmuth never truly finished it, probably because of his nihilistic attitude. So he dumped it on Xylene and she decided to give it to Max due to their shared history and his accolades as a plumber
Interestingly, you can make everything kind of work if Azmuth's perspective changed over time. So at first he's building the omnitrix as a Noah's Ark for DNA, thus the unitrix, which doesn't really have a proper transform function, then he realizes it's potential as a tool for diplomacy, and develops the prototype omnitrix. But then, rumors begin to spread about his invention, and people like Vilgax realize it's potential as a weapon, and in disgust he discards it and falls into nihilism, seeing himself as a failure who is incapable of making anything that isn't a weapon, and becoming the Azmuth we see in the movie.
Dang these are both good theories I like it
@@robertcagatin3690 Love these theories.
Makes me like azmuth much more.
As he's not just another arrogant scientist, but someone with the guilt of having blood of so many living things on his hands.
I feel like he had Xylene give it to Max because he knew of Max's reputation, so he felt that Max was one of the only people, or at least a person, who would be strong enough to keep it out of the hands of evil. Max was probably just a storage device for the Omnitrix in Azmuth's eyes
@@neeljavia2965 Facts
8:45 I don’t think Cannonbolt is necessarily stronger than four arms. I think it’s a combination of his hardness shell and the speed he builds up upon rolling. Four arms is essentially strength and boxer like fighting while Cannonbolt is like a living bullet
The Way Big scene was the highlight.
He just chucks Vilgax to space like a baseball!
chucks*
@@curtisleblanc5897 thanks for the correction.
@@harryblocks
you are welcome, sir.
The Omnitrix was a prototype, right? So Azmuth might've been planning to mass produce Omnimatrixes for everyone everywhere. Then everyone would be able to experience the other guy's life.
Though the singular Omnitrix being passed around does call for more unity and cooperation.
If azmuth did mass produce Omnitrixes Vilgax would have to just go on a quick shopping trip to get it
I'm sure all Ben 10 fans wish this got a theatrical release.
Now the real question is which version would they air in theatres if they did. Would they cycle it out so each time it’s different like the clue movie?
Thata would be so cool shoot that gotta Teen Titans in the theater
Yes. This and the Gen rex/Ben 10 heroes United Special. (But that makes more sense not to release in theaters')
Hey I guess it got a theatrical release I saw an picture showing this Ben 10 movie poster on it ...I found it on Google
Sadly we're living in a universe where the trash TTG movie got a theatrical release (that performed well apparently) but Trouble In Tokyo and Secret Of The Omnitrix didn't.😞
There's a theory that says that after the ending of this movie, Ben went to the infested mall and got bit by one of the zombies. That's how Benzarro's homeworld came to be.
That's honestly dark & not too far off, when I think about it.
Good theory but won't work for the prime timeline
Yup Ben became the Patient X and wielder of the Zombitrix while Gwen who didn't develop any powers, became a scientist to cure Benzaro in a secure secret bunker with Dr. Animo who is now one of the good guys working on a cure for Benzaro

@@dabiblueflame7930 He'll probably do it when he starts reviewing Ultimate Alien, as Heroes United came out during Ultimate Alien's run.

@@robertcagatin3690 Oh, for sure
Nah it makes Pax work even better, he's the exact opposite of them and I doubt it's a coincidence.
My interpretation was that the omnitrix was meant to be a diplomacy tool, like we see in omniverse when Ben uses gravattack as a mediator. I just assumed azimuth planned to make more, but decided it was too much trouble and discontinued it.
I forgot the alien force explanation.
I agree with that sort of a way to find a compromise with no racism (speciesism?)
The Alien Force reason was that Azimuth created Ascalon first and this upset his girlfriend?wife?lover? into leaving him, he gave Ascalon to George of the Forever Knights who defeated Dagon with it, then - to try and make amends with her for creating a weapon instead of something in a peace and understanding vein - he got to work on the first omnitrix.

As a person who just started watching Ben 10 on a lark, it's been fun watching these breakdowns and getting perspective on what it was like watching Ben 10 growing up while also seeing an adult brain reflect back on Ben 10 as an adult and what you still love about it. It's been a super fun companion to getting into the series.
BTW, on HBO Max this is integrated as a multipart episode so I didn't even know it was a movie.
The movie that introduced one of the coolest aliens, Waybig
Ben is the alien Avatar
Want to go, all aliens lived together in harmony.
Then, everything changed when Vilgax attacked.
Only Azmuth, master of all things alien, could stop him.
But when the world needed him most, he finished.
That could work LOL
When I originally saw this movie I saw it after seeing the second Ben 10,000 episode where he pulls out Way Big against Kevin. And I feel like that's almost as fun as getting surprised by Way Big. Just seeing future Ben pull out this seemingly nuke of an alien in a fit of rage, then getting to see current Ben with his back to the wall and then the creator of the Omnitrix himself gives him the alien that is a living natural disaster in the hands of his future self.
yeah i always really liked seeing full circle things like that. like when Ben 10,000 turns into buzzshock after an earlier episode where we saw its species reeking havoc
When they first aired the movie I remember that it was mentioned the film would have a brand new alien but didn't show what it was. When the movie was on screen I thought it was in reference to Eye Guy, but it seems that was just a Red Herring for Way Big.
Alright I’m just going to say this now, I MUCH prefer Waybig’s original voice. It really gave you a feeling of the sheer scale of Waybig, making him even feel big just from speaking. In UAF they really undermined this voice and made it less booming and huge sounding. And don’t even get me started on the “hahahaha racist Japanese accent on Kaiju monster” that Omniverse did. Maybe it’s just me, but I just like the original voice the most.
Same. The Omniverse voice definitely sounded off to me
What how is it racist?
I really don't see how OV Waybig's voice is racist at all. Racist implies it makes fun of Asians or something but no, it's literally dialogue suited for Ben with a different accent. Is NRG's voice a problem too? Or Clockwork's? I get not liking his voice but it takes more than speaking with a Japanese accent to be racist.
@@MilczekHD To be fair, it doesn't make much sense for any of Ben's aliens to have different accent other than his own. Granted, I like NRG and Clockwork's accents, not because they make sense, but mainly because I love how Dee Bradley Baker does a great job at them as well as the fact that they ALWAYS spoke in those accents when they were introduced. I wouldn't say the same for Way Big because when he was introduced, he spoke in the same accent as Ben all the way till UAF. Then Omniverse comes and retcons his accent.... Yeah...
Sometimes, things are done in shows/movies purely out of artistic liberties and not because they make sense.
@@zohebrafi Yep, it is just artistic liberties. But Way Big having japanese accent DO make sense in context (as in, the reasoning doesn’t come out of nowhere). Just like NRG, an energy alien similar to a reactor, has a voice with Russian accent in tribute to, well, the Russians of Soviet era.
Way Big was a tribute to Japanese tokusatsu franchise, primarily Ultraman. And ever since UAF, he’s becoming more and more similar to Ultraman esp. on the looks.
Personally, I don’t care about the accent because I never really noticed it. Seems to be just a slight accent and not something to make a big deal about.
This movie is a great jumping off point for the series
-someone who was introduced to Ben 10 with this movie
I’ve always liked to think the Omnitrix was designed to be both a way of universal understanding but also a DNA backup in case of an extinction. I figured that Azmuth would try to cover a lot of bases to try to make it up to Zennith
I'm so glad that Ben and Gwen finally start to appreciate each other at the end of this. But that should've happened earlier in the series.
I think it makes more sense for Secrets of the Omnitrix to take place at the end of the original series followed up with Destroy All Aliens.
I completely agree
Ngl, this legit made me cry tears of joy, just realizing that this series from my chilhood is just as good as i remember it, getting to revisit this movie that meant a lot to me and seeing that it still does, makes me feel like "you know what? It was worth it." People in my country liked to joke around on anyone who ever watched ben 10 (and i mean practically bully) but i still watched it because it meant so much for me. I was 8 when i started watching it, my 10 year anniversary WAS ben 10 themed and i dont care, it dont have a single regret, thank you kuro, a sincere thank you for making me realize this.
Wouldn’t Vilgax having Jet Boots in that scene make a bigger possibility of Six Six being strangled since he doesn’t have a helmet on
I prefer this movies version of Azmuth where he had a bit more snark to him unlike in the later series where Azumth seemed to act like a wise mentor character. I understand that his experience with Ben made him rethink his personality towards people a lot but I still wish he kept some of his snark
He should've had a character ark to help bridge the gap
Azmuth is more likeable in Omniverse than in UAF in my opinion.

I laughed so hard that I fell over when Kuro played the ending as if Ben had died🤣🤣
Same! I love joke edits like that, and also when he modifies a frame or animation to how he would have designed/drawn something, like when he edited the Omnitrix colour to make it greener early in the film.
It finished me lol
Head cannon: “grey mode.” The watch is locked out of general interaction. This would be why Ben can’t change back manually until the recalibration, because transformation put it into “lock mode”
AINT NO WAY i though the part 2 would come in the next friday but it actually come 2 days later you are a beast ink tank 🙌
In the first part of this breakdown he said part 2 was coming on Sunday
@@kermitgotthesickkicks4265 ooh didnt heard it
10:27 I think the word he’s looking for is feral
I remember watching the scene where he breaks down the door to azmuth's lab as cannonbolt and getting chills as he gets better and better at striking it each time and finally breaking it down after one last call out to azmuth. Probably one of my favorite scenes in all of ben 10.
Honestly this whole Ben 10 Episodes Breakdowns is my favorite series.
3:50 I wouldn't say that ruins the illusion, they've shown Wildvine merging with other plants before, remember?
4:53 Gwen’s “death” is the most saddest moment in any Cartoon Network show in my opinion. Sadder than other shows
Since Clone Wars first aired on CN, I think 99's death is sadder, but that may be because I never bought Gwen's death here
@@StupidWeb I agree. The Clones, as said by themselves, were meant to be expendable. And albiet 99 was his own character like most other clones, at the end of the day he didn't have the focus that Gwen did
Can we agree that this movie is the best piece of Ben 10 media? At least in my opinion.
Absolutely
Yeah
Agreed, it set up so many things for the future.
Yep
No, imao.
i think the reason they lost waybigs extra eyes was because as the species gets older it becomes more coordinated, so a late teenaged one wouldn't need it as much as a child one, and even then, their young may take (relatively) longer to become coordinated with walking than a human does
no i don't not intended on answering how they lose eyeballs, i just wanted something other than the retcon aliens made a change to answer the missing eyes
The only problem with that explanation is in the episode Ken 10 when future Ben transformed into Way Big he still had the extra eyes
@@theaveragedude3670 There's also the fact that 10 (at most 11) year old Ben's waybig in Destroy All Aliens looks like the AF one with 2 eyes. It probably could be explained by the whole "celestialsapiens changed the artstyle" thing in Omniverse. Doesn't really matter in-universe anyway.
@@theaveragedude3670 That and the fact WayBig has four eyes in Omniverse.
It doesn't work, the simplest explinantion is that the artist of alien force just got lazy and decided to go with the simplest design.
10 years ben waybig design is the same as ben 10k way big design in ken 10 because to'kustar are created this way, remember to'kustar are created in cosmic storms they do not get thrue the cycle of being born as baby to grow into adults.
For character designs, I just see it as redesign or artstyle change rather than retcons that need made up reasons.
8:56 The Man himself who refuses to rest his wallet and makes Transformers content, It’s Diamondbolt!!
Gwen: "Even if you can't go hero."
Ben: "Gwen- My catchphrase is Hero Time."
“If you’re nothing without this suit, then you shouldn’t have it.”
@@stephenking5852Nice
4:26, 4:50 and 8:24, best character moments for Ben, in my opinion, just a little above The Ultimate Sacrifice. Seeing Ben just pissed about loosing Gwen, enough to literally try to kill Azmuth (he didn't know it was a suit when he went for the head 'o_o), shows that he truly cares about her that much, spats and all.
Oh and 1:21 was super nice btw
Kid me was so dissapointed they didn't make a Way Big action figure for the OS
It would have been huge
What a coincidence right now, when I was just coming back watching all three alternate intros, and they all so rock!! So far as only if they would do extra stuff like this for other kinds of venues.
Tara's performance as ben ( or younger versions or kenny) is my favorite she can make a kid go from happy go lucky to hothead to depressed with just a few words.... amazing.
Tara does an amazing job as Ben as always.
Ben gets distraught over seeing Gwen being taken away, thinking she will die. He transforms into fourarms knowing full well that he will risk the universe blowing up, but yells "I don't care!"
When Gwen is snatched away, Ben repeats "It should've been me!!" As he bangs on the closed lid. A scene showing Ben's care for Gwen and how he'd rather been the one to die instead of her. He risked destroying the universe just to get a SHOT at saving Gwen.
Kuro: Hehe re-used shape effect!
LMAO that last comment
I was expecting him to comment on how emotional that scene was.
@@neeljavia2965 Haha yeah we all did He can notice everything but never the big picture that is displayed in front of his screen
@@robertcagatin3690 Maybe he was focused more how cool the movie looked.
Plus he knew Gwen wasn't dead so.
@@neeljavia2965 I know that's what a breakdown is I just think it's funny and odd that he didn't have much to say to one of the most iconic Ben 10 moments in the franchise
This movie does a great job of telling the viewer that if Way Big shows up, some serious fighting's about to go down.
11:56 The Omnitrix’s fail safe might have kicked in there to stop him somehow, we just didn’t see it. I guess this is the prototype Omnitrix and I don’t think we’ve seen the failsafe work to that level yet, but it is plausible.
"Should've been me!
Should've been me!
Should've been me!"
Gets me everytime.
I guess I would have wanted some scenes with grandpa max where he's trying to contact tetrax in his ship just to give a few scenes and make him feel like an actual character and a grandfather where he's worried about his grandkids
Dude, your breakdowns of the series are my favorite videos nowadays, can't wait for you to get to UAF, OMNIVERSE and of course the live action movies, keep it up with the good work man!
I didn't know about the second set of eyes! Damn Celestiansapians, changing the universe XD
11:44 so that's why Ben loves guns and to shoot at gansgters, even as a kid
I understood that reference
Using the omnitrix after it was hit by Animo's machine is what confirmed the self-destruct. Gwen and Max tell him to wait before he uses it, but he does so anyway. Only thing that would happen if he didn't was Animo escaping, which while bad, wouldn't be comparable to not stopping the machine. It fits his arc with Tetrax questioning if he just likes to play hero or actually does what's right for the sake of it, and continues the idea of him having to stop and think before acting. Then Gwen's death makes Ben really consider the consequences of his actions and his selfishness on a much larger scale than ever before, unlike the Kevin scene which is more specifically about not acting like a dick and considering the feelings of those around him. Then it's all tied together with Ben experiencing Asmuth's apathy and choosing to fight in his human form, just because it's the right thing to do and not because it's cool or fun; in contrast to the spaceship piloting scene earlier.
The lessons learnt in this movie builds upon the show while taking it all just that tiny step further and really maturing Ben. It's also entirely understandable how the things he learn here would eventually lead to his Ben 10K personality.
The joke lines "wouldn't you like to figure it out on your own? Like a true hero?" "Not really" could arguably also tie into how Ben is less concerned with the idea of being a hero as opposed to actually just being one at this point (contrast this attitude with how he acts with the Galactic Enforcers).
Then Asmuth laughing and saying "I like that kid" is also pretty powerful because it speaks to his acknowledgement of Ben's worthiness to wield the Omnitrix.
As we see on full display in Ben 10.000 and Ken 10, his character arc from then on becomes finding the proper balance between responsibility and fun (something the young Ben in that first story doesn't actually comprehend at all)
The later shows do an.... okay job of following up on these ideas, but they definitely recycle a lot of them while presenting them in far less subtle ways, which is probably why they don't hit as hard in hindsight when watching this movie
Man, this film is neat.
Well the Omnitrix that Ben has is a prototype, maybe Azmuth's original thought was to distribute them after perfecting the prototype.
I assumed the "I saw that the watch was acting weird at the reactor, but I used it anyway!" referred to AFTER stopping the DNA bomb, so Ben is (somewhat randomly) assuming that the DNA Bomb damaged the Omnitrix, but Ben using it again anyway (becoming Greymatter at the reactor) is what started the Self Destruct.
I think that the Omnitrix motive for it's creation, with all the functions that it has, it would never fit for peace on the original continuity. But ironically with how we see it on the reboot the origins of the Omnitrix, it makes a lot of sense with how it works the Omnitrix with the idea of Azmuth still working.
Wow vilgax must be feeling very sad, like every time a ten year old gets the better of him
This is the premiere of waybig so it makes sense that it’s in one of the biggest events in Ben 10
Honestly I wish the series kept the dark atmosphere for space stories. I like the sense of community from UAF, but there’s just something about treating the wider universe as a sort of criminal underworld that makes a better distinction to me. Maybe go for a mix between the two?
Damn in all those years, just now I understood that cannonbolt is stronger than four arms.
Thats why he’s my favorite
Yep exactly the same reason why cannonbolt defeated Kevin whereas four arms could not
@@robertcagatin3690 Also Vilgax in the what if episode "Goodbye and Good Ridance"
@@RayoMcQueen95990 He was able to hurt him but not completely defeat him
@@robertcagatin3690 true, but that’s a thing the rest of his aliens failed to do in “Secrets” and I’m not considering the dream fight with four arms because since it was a dream, he got nerfed a lot
This movie was one of my fondest memories of ben 10
The ben shooting lasers in a pod scene changed me for life
I do love all the movies but this feels the most cinematic and can feel like the finale
True
Been waiting for this
I feel bad for Way Big. He's got a cool design, simple but effective name, nice reference, great voice actor, the factor of intimidation and many more. But most of the time he's either used as a plot device, for a joke or is getting destroyed, despite being one of the most powerful aliens Ben's got.
In his first appearance, his entire purpose was to defeat Vilgax by being very big.
In Destroy All Aliens he was used to create a mirror fight.
In the end of the second season of Alien Force he was unlocked to destroy the Hyperspace Jump Gate and failed to do it.
He left the Omnitrix and didn't appear until the very end, where he immediately got sucked back in and then Ben mistransformed into Chromastone.
Ben tried to transform into him multiple times in the 3rd season but always failed.
He accidentally destroyed the statue of Zabin because ha-ha, big guy is clumsy.
On Primus (And in the reboot) he was used to defeat the giant Vilgax
In the episode with Incredibles' robot he was used to threaten Will Harangue even though he could be the one to destroy the robot. But nanomech got his time to shine, so that's okay. That little guy really got the short end of the stick.
He got temporally destroyed by Eon after failing to destroy the Hands of Armageddon.
He failed to fight the Ultimate Aliens.
His ultimate is literally him but bigger, with minor tweaks and a blue colour.
Even after going ultimate he failed to fight Dagon and got destroyed.
His size is incredibly incosistent.
In Omniverse he failed to defeat the giant Trombipulor.
He got absorbed by Malware.
He knocked over some sign because ha-ha, big guy is clumsy
He got his ass kicked by Way Bads.
His best feat from Omniverse is defeating the freaking regular Trombipulor in a flashback that continues for a few seconds. And he did it by STEPPING on him.
I didn't list all of Way Big's feats because most of his fights are just "Giant Alien Vs Giant monster". That's literally his entire purpose. Feels bad. I wish he would be used more in unusual ways. Like, for example, pulling up the sinking ship full of people, or using his rays to carve some beautiful sculpture out of the small mountain to win some contest or just for fun, or blowing so hard that he would become Terraspin 2.0 with the force of the wind he creates. I don't want Way Big to be remembered only as "The big guy". Also, remember that one time he ran really fast in the WATER to the point of creating an enormous cyclone to defeat a giant trash bag? That came out of nowhere and was never brought up again. He did something only XLR8 was shown to be able to do and he did it, while being in water. Derrick J. Wyatt said that the in-universe explanation for that would be ultimatrix glitches but even if that was the case, why wasn't and why wouldn't it be ever used again? It looked like the gang already knew about Way Big having enhanced speed, which means he was able to do it for some time, but there was zero foreshadowing. Imagine the final battle but instead of shooting some rays while Dagon is down, the Ultimate Way Big enters super sonic mode and tackles him like a football player and the octopus just flies away over the horizon due to the force of impact.
I agree with mostly everything you said, but in all fairness him being defeated by the Way Bads makes sense because they're enhanced mutants of his species and it's a bunch of them vs one. And his greatest feat in Omniverse is actually overpowering the Incursean Conquest Ray, which destroyed Pluto and was hinted to be able to reduce Earth to even tinier pieces, basically the same as the Death Star's beam
Wow you pretty much summarized way big's entire appearances in the show just WOW
@@edgargaebolg9307 Agreed
@@edgargaebolg9307, Touche.
I like the idea of the Omnitrix being given to an envoy to spread peace between civilizations. An impartial middle man who can say that they have walked a mile in everyone's shoes.
