Gwen is voiced by Ashley Johnson, who's the voice of Ellie in The Last of Us, Pike in The Legend of Vox Machina, and Terra in Teen Titans. Kevin is voiced by Greg Cipes, who's the voice Beast Boy in Teen Titans and Young Justice. Pretty much all of Ben's aliens are voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, who's the voice of the Clones in The Clone Wars, and Appa and Momo in Avatar: The Last Airbender.

I don't blame them at all for thinking that the aliens are combinations. When Alien Force was coming out MANY people thought the same thing. And it's not hinted in these first few episodes that they are all completely new, and it's not explained why the watch just has completely new aliens and not a single old alien.
You'll notice it says "Written by Dwayne McDuffie" at the beginning of most episodes. He's one of the creators of Milestone Comics, the company responsible for the creation of Static (Shock) and the universe of black characters he comes from, The Dakotaverse. He's also a prolific cartoon writer having worked on the later season of OG Ben 10, the vast majority of Alien Force, Justice League Unlimited, and of course Static Shock. He unfortunately passed away in 2011, but he made my childhood and is the reason I love superhero media.
Man was the GOAT for giving us UAF and OV (first episode at least). It's too bad the executives shat all over Ben 10 and forced the writers to regress the character.

How did you leave out that Yuri Lowenthal did three different versions of Peter Parker; Spectacular when it was being aired by Fox, Marvel's 2017 show on Disney XD and the current PS4 and 5 games
I loved this series even more than the original one The animation, the new aliens, the darker tone, the neo-noir style, the character maturity Plus, it didn't have to live in the shadow of the original series to stand out
The og Ben 10 is unintentionally just an opener for the much bigger and much more explored Ben 10 UAF series. Og Ben 10 was three people in summer time fighting and making bad guys. Omniverse I think connects it all.
@@AXL664well, watching this again. All of the backgrounds during nighttime are just black voids. And both Kevin and Gwen get the background design treatment. Seriously, Gwen was striped of all of her design elements she had on the origin series, most notably the cat symbol. And Kevin is just basic. Too basic. Background character level basic.
@@erikpng sure alien force and ultimate alien had forgotten stuff from the original series but it has improved with the animation and got more serious cause he’s now a teenager
Ben is now 15 years old and yes this takes place in 5 years later after the timeline of “Destroy All Aliens” Movie and Ben is now voiced by Yuri Lowenthal who voiced Spider-Man in marvel’s Spider-Man game
I could literally cry tears of joy. Shout out to everyone who took the time to get on Patreon and vote!! This show means the world to so many people and I’m so glad the crew is continuing🙌🏾
This show literally changed my life With the characters a lot more mature, it made me wanna change myself Be a better version of myself Be just like them
Don't be too worried about Ben 10 committing to the future it set up for itself in "Ben 10,000" because when Ben met his future self he unintentionally changed his future so that the Ben 10,000 we saw there is no longer his current future.
I wish people would stop spreading that head-canon/fan theory as canonical fact, no where in the series or by a member of the writing crew is that ever stated. As far as any official source is concerned Ben 10’000 is a potential future, with things being left open to interpretation whether or not that’s how Ben’s future would turn out.
@@DipolarJet3 was that ever confirmed or did you just assume that because his Omnitrix resembles the original version? It has been long established that the Omnitrix can change it’s appearance, who to say that it doesn’t end up looking like Ben 10’000’s.
@@Andrew-Bastin The only real "proof" I can find that it is the original Omnitrix is a pop-up from the episode saying that "the Omnitrix will transform itself as Ben gets older, giving him more control and access to more aliens." That *seems* to imply that it's the original. There is also pop-up trivia that says the reason Ben 10,000 acts the way he does is because of something that happened when he was 15. Considering Ben is 16 in Omniverse, we can say that is no longer a possible future, or at least not caused by the same thing it originally was.
@@DipolarJet3 the thing with the pop ups are that they are only “sorta” canon, the episodes weren’t made with them in mind and many of them were retroactively added after the fact, not to mention a lot of them were retconned by later series. Also the changing as Ben ages could easily apply to the later Omnitrix and the writers have said that they retconned Ben loosing his joy from 15 years old to 20 years old.
What???😂 how the hell was he in the wrong??? She was jokign abt something serious and expect ben not to get mad??? If this was reversed then nobody would have complained. Thats sexism at is finest.
Ben is voiced by Yuri lowenthal Gwen is voiced by Ashley Johnson Kevin is voiced by Greg cipes All Ben's aliens are voiced by the guy who voices the clones in clone wars
Some of the baddies resemble aliens from Doctor Who. Some of them look like Cybermen, as you mentioned. And the tentacles ones look like the Ood. The showrunner is a fan of Doctor Who franchise, and you can see the change of tone for the series; more mature and more serious compared to the previous one.
I.....can`t really remember anyone, who looked like Cybermen. DNAliens are......kiiiinda maaaybe resemble Oods, but I`m not sure, not really agree. And after Doctor Who, yeah, I can see those references now.
To explain Kevin without spoilers. His powers AREN'T different. Before he could only absorb energy, now his powers are more refined and he can absorb matter too. So he can make metal armor and as you saw, bench way more.
Does anyone else remember the 10/10/10 marathon that Carton Network did where they showed nothing but Ben 10 the whole day. it was an amazing day, me and my siblings were glued to the tv the whole day.
Ben's VA Yuri Lowenthall is the voice of Sasuke (Naruto), Simon (Gurren Lagann) PS4 Spiderman, Marth in super smash bros ultimate and much more Kevin voiced by Greg Cipes is Beast Boy In Teen Titans Gwen Voiced by Ashley Johnson is Ellie from Last Of Us, Terra from Teen Titans (this will be extremely funny later) Also we have been finally Blessed by the GOAT SWAMPFIRE
I can’t wait for them to see Kevin’s development lol happy it won I love this show and Ben being voiced by Sasuke is great makes me even more excited for Spiderman 2
you have no idea how happy this notificationmade me!!! i literally jumped around my room lol,,, its not just cool to watch someone exploring a show that shaped my childhood, the fact that its blind wave just makes it 872879 times better!!! yall are sooooo fun i cant express it
Love alien force. Unironically think an HBO series where u let Ben age over time could work really well but OG Ben 10 and Ben 10 Alien Force are classics
Now that we're finally on Alien Force, I HAVE to recommend Generator Rex. Its an amazing show by Man of Action. Even crosses over during Ultimate Alien. Its on par, if not better than UAF. Absolute joy to watch, Stellar cast too with JK Simmons, Mark Hamill, Daryl Sabara (yes, that little boy from Spy Kids), Troy Baker, John DiMaggio and SO MANY MORE.
It's time for Ben 10 Alien Force!! I really loved watching this show as a kid, and Andrea Romano's casting and voice direction is legendary, especially for many of the shows she worked on like Teen Titans and Batman TAS!! Andrea's still one of my greatest heroes ever! Yuri, Ashley and Greg are all childhood legends who voiced three of my favorite characters! I love many of the characters Yuri voices like Sasuke, Spider-Man, Ben Tennyson, Yosuke and the Prince; and I enjoy the fact that Ashley and Greg were also Terra and Beast Boy on Teen Titans!! Plus I love the dark tone, character development, music and epic fights in Alien Force! Anyway, can't wait to see you guys react to the whole series!
7:36, The First Glimpse Of Gwen's New And Improved Powers! Trust Me, The Episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of" Is Going To Blow Your Mind! 11:27, Augstaka, Home World Of The Xenocites And Highbreed Is Cold, So They Don't Like Heat 14:19, Yes, Swampfire A (Immature Until The Omniverse Episode "Charmed I'm Sure, Then He Gets A Cool New Look) Methanosian From The Planet Methanos! 17:06 He Soon Gains The Ability To Cycle Between Aliens And Human By Simply Touching The Omnitrix Symbol!
The idea to make a older more mature Ben have to track down Grandpa with Kevin and Gwen is such a great evolution of the original series! Also great voice actors!
2 things: 1. Very happy I got to watch 2 Ben 10 reactions today (the other being part 1 of the movie) 2. Surprised they connected Kevin to Creel since most people don’t seem to know the Absorbing man, so that’s very cool
Different people like different Ben 10 shows and my favorite is Ben 10 Alien Force. 1- Long-term plot: right at the start of episode when we have a proper plot in the original series the formula was villain of the week however here we have a plot straight out of the gate. 2-Maturity: then I was young I used to think that this characters are boring because their behaving like adults but the characters have maturity you can literally see the way that Ben talks that he has grown up into a responsible hero and that is exactly what we want. 3- character development: right from episode 1 we can see that Ben now has to take the situation in his own hands as there is a growth in character for all of these main protagonist and trust me if you and up reaching next series Ultimate Alien you're going to realize how much this character growth matters it may not be consistent but it sure as hell is pretty impressive. This Ben 10 series was directed by Dwayne McDuffie who work alongside of the man of action team and he bring his superhero formula which he worked on show such as Static shock and Spider-Man here into Ben 10 giving the show in mature and almost a marvel and DC type of feeling. The more you're going to watch the more you're going to enjoy Ben 10 Alien Force.
Oh especially the transformation with the growing cgi skeleton! So creative! Ok, that aside the moment is pretty great. Wait, why is there a black void behind Swampfire?
@@LeonardoKlotz nah laziness. Could have shown a cool transformation but instead gave us a placeholder of sorts. Cause later on we do get actual cool transformations
I always liked how most of Ben's aliens in Alien Force were amalgamations of his previous ones. Swampfire being a good example, a combo of Heatblast and Wildvine.
The first original aliens are locked away due to the recalibration of the omnitrix which gave him 10 new aliens and more to unlock Plus the omnitrix has millions of alien dna so he has way more
@@Tekologicheck, one of the best looking shows CN has ever put out. The OV hate is sort of a thing of the past. Just hoping there aren't buttholes who won't vote for it intentionally. But the comments here are generally pro OV so hopefully we'll get it.
I remember when this show was coming when I was a kid, the hype was so real and it was an event every week when a new episode came out. True part of my childhood.
The best part about leaving the original series behind... We don't have to anticipate the "Gwen and Max are a useful part of the team that Ben has to appreciate" plot for the 17th episode in a row.
Let’s go! Alien Force is well written show in Season 1-2. Alien Force intro for me it’s the best and it fits the vibe. Ben Tennyson is very well developed in Season 1-2, as you see him, what has he become since Classic Series.
As someone who is also experiencing all of this for the first time, after binge watched classic Ben 10, watching Alien Force is possibly the largest amount of tonal whiplash I've experienced that leads to a positive result. It's wild how different the show is and still works in the same world established before. super looking forward to seeing future reactions and continuing the journey myself
been a huge fan of the reaction series and so glad you guys are continuing, it made me join the patreon for the first time because im so excited to go on this journey with you guys
Ultimate Alien to me just sounds like more seasons of alien force, i really hope they dont make it a different series, if Omniverse gets put on a vite, i doubt it will win as good as omniverse is not many actually watched it and alot who havent see it as a reboot because they never actually checked it out, happend on a different react channel who did all series as votes, all got voted exept omniverse who is still not voted even after a year of Ultimate Alien having been reacted to
This isn't that obvious but the show has already diverged from the Ben 10,000 future. One of the theories for that is that since Ben met his future self, his future will turn out different. Future Ben doesn't remember going to the future when he was 10 so the timeline already diverged when the time-travel happened. Stuff like Grandpa Max getting a birthday cake at the end of that episode or the Omnitrix getting an update in this are also points of difference.
Yuri Lowenthal, our new voice of Ben, has previously been Sasuke, Icicle Jr. and Lagoon Boy from Young Justice, and Spider-Man from the PlayStation game. And Kevin isn’t Dante Basco, he’s Greg Cipes, aka Beast Boy
I have never seen this Ben 10 tried to watch it last year couldn't get into it hopefully I can with you guys. Also I don't know if Rick has to wear these glasses for medical reasons or style reasons but either way they are cool af
Actually I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one it's not that it doesn't exist anymore its just the fact that wasn't their future otherwise that Ben and Gwen would have remember that experience and (Spoiled Alert) kinda like how Ultimate Ben 10k experience going to the future with his Gewn again because we know that Ultimate Ben 10k isn't the Prime Ben because he never gave up his Omnitrix for the Ultimatrix if you look at his arms his Omnitrix is the same while Prime Ben has a gauntlet and with know because Prime Ben true Future self builds the Biomnitrix
So, one of the new perks with the recalibrated Omnitrix is that there is no time limit. Ben can stay as an ailen for as long as he can if he has energy
Sasuke, Ellie, and Beastboy teaming up! Love to hear Terra and Beastboy's voice actors working together again. Alien Force gets all the VAs for the main Teen Titans except Tara Strong (Raven) who voiced the original Ben.

New Ben 10 Fans reacting to alien force is always so fun to watch. They have the funniest assumptions
Fun Fact: The VA for Gwen in Ben 10 Alien Force is the one and only Ellie in TLOU.
She was also Terra from "Teen Titans".

Rick instantly nailed the explanation for Kevins powers acting differently, nice.
I'm very happy, you guys are continuing this franchise. Seeing this more serious and mature side of Ben was pretty cool while it lasted.
I loved this series even more than the original one
The animation, the new aliens, the darker tone, the neo-noir style, the character maturity
Plus, it didn't have to live in the shadow of the original series to stand out
definitely don't agree on the animation
@@theamazingspooderman2697 Better than the original animation.
The og Ben 10 is unintentionally just an opener for the much bigger and much more explored Ben 10 UAF series. Og Ben 10 was three people in summer time fighting and making bad guys. Omniverse I think connects it all.
@@AXL664well, watching this again. All of the backgrounds during nighttime are just black voids. And both Kevin and Gwen get the background design treatment. Seriously, Gwen was striped of all of her design elements she had on the origin series, most notably the cat symbol.
And Kevin is just basic. Too basic. Background character level basic.
@@erikpng sure alien force and ultimate alien had forgotten stuff from the original series but it has improved with the animation and got more serious cause he’s now a teenager
Ben is now 15 years old and yes this takes place in 5 years later after the timeline of “Destroy All Aliens” Movie and Ben is now voiced by Yuri Lowenthal who voiced Spider-Man in marvel’s Spider-Man game
I could literally cry tears of joy. Shout out to everyone who took the time to get on Patreon and vote!! This show means the world to so many people and I’m so glad the crew is continuing🙌🏾
This show literally changed my life
With the characters a lot more mature, it made me wanna change myself
Be a better version of myself
Be just like them

Don't be too worried about Ben 10 committing to the future it set up for itself in "Ben 10,000" because when Ben met his future self he unintentionally changed his future so that the Ben 10,000 we saw there is no longer his current future.
I wish people would stop spreading that head-canon/fan theory as canonical fact, no where in the series or by a member of the writing crew is that ever stated. As far as any official source is concerned Ben 10’000 is a potential future, with things being left open to interpretation whether or not that’s how Ben’s future would turn out.
@@Andrew-Bastin Except that is no longer a potential future, because that Ben 10,000 had the original omnitrix
@@DipolarJet3 was that ever confirmed or did you just assume that because his Omnitrix resembles the original version?
It has been long established that the Omnitrix can change it’s appearance, who to say that it doesn’t end up looking like Ben 10’000’s.
@@Andrew-Bastin The only real "proof" I can find that it is the original Omnitrix is a pop-up from the episode saying that "the Omnitrix will transform itself as Ben gets older, giving him more control and access to more aliens." That *seems* to imply that it's the original. There is also pop-up trivia that says the reason Ben 10,000 acts the way he does is because of something that happened when he was 15. Considering Ben is 16 in Omniverse, we can say that is no longer a possible future, or at least not caused by the same thing it originally was.
@@DipolarJet3 the thing with the pop ups are that they are only “sorta” canon, the episodes weren’t made with them in mind and many of them were retroactively added after the fact, not to mention a lot of them were retconned by later series.
Also the changing as Ben ages could easily apply to the later Omnitrix and the writers have said that they retconned Ben loosing his joy from 15 years old to 20 years old.
17:40 my favourite moment in this episode - it didn’t take a full/many episodes for Ben to realise he was in the wrong; just a few seconds.
yh I feel that but Kevin a criminal his only simping right now
What???😂 how the hell was he in the wrong??? She was jokign abt something serious and expect ben not to get mad??? If this was reversed then nobody would have complained. Thats sexism at is finest.
The UAF era is a great section of the Ben 10 franchise. Can’t wait for y’all to check it out!
The most iconic era
Though I am dreading Ben's character regression along the way to it.
@@aros0018same. they’ll bash the show when it gets to that point, and rightfully so.
this show was a such a highlight from my childhood
Mine too.
Correction: Kevin didn't absorb dna from the Omnitrix, he absorbed energy from it and it morphed him into that amalgamation.
I'm imagining MatPat as a live action Ben 10 seeing this🤣
it´s theory time!
Stfu don't ruin Ben 10 any further

Ben is voiced by Yuri lowenthal

All Ben's aliens are voiced by the guy who voices the clones in clone wars
They completely forgot Kevin absorbed electricity first
Some of the baddies resemble aliens from Doctor Who. Some of them look like Cybermen, as you mentioned. And the tentacles ones look like the Ood. The showrunner is a fan of Doctor Who franchise, and you can see the change of tone for the series; more mature and more serious compared to the previous one.
[Spoilers] Ooh, Now I wonder what their reaction to Professor Paradox will be.
@@realfangplays They are going to freaking love him. The real question is whether they'll actually recognize he's a big Doctor Who homage.
I.....can`t really remember anyone, who looked like Cybermen. DNAliens are......kiiiinda maaaybe resemble Oods, but I`m not sure, not really agree. And after Doctor Who, yeah, I can see those references now.
You know what DNAliens really resemble? Headcrabs from Half-Life.
@@venom_spy437 They mentioned it on 11:37 - also, the showrunner deliberately made them look similar but not the same with DRW characters.
Max is basically the Uncle Iroh of the Ben Ten Universe. Without Max is forces Ben to mature and step up to become a leader.
Holy crap Alien Force. This is gonna be great
To explain Kevin without spoilers.
His powers AREN'T different. Before he could only absorb energy, now his powers are more refined and he can absorb matter too. So he can make metal armor and as you saw, bench way more.

Swampfire - 1st time
Total:

have you been doing this for the past few OG ben 10 episodes? i can't find them
@@iamzedv1914 yes I just forgot to do it
Does anyone else remember the 10/10/10 marathon that Carton Network did where they showed nothing but Ben 10 the whole day. it was an amazing day, me and my siblings were glued to the tv the whole day.
Ben's VA

I can’t wait for them to see Kevin’s development lol happy it won I love this show and Ben being voiced by Sasuke is great makes me even more excited for Spiderman 2
Alien force has the best character development!
In its first 2 seasons at least
And then they throw it all away
I wonder why Ben took off his watch during those five years. I'm excited to hear their FEEDBACK at the end of the episode.
Spoiler
After losing Feedback, Ben decided to take it off

Alien Force Let's go man!!! I'm sooo happy, thanks to all the people who voted to continue the Ben 10 series. Love you guys
I love this older Ben so much more, and the addition of Kevin is so good
We saw Kevin absorb electricity in the first episode we met him. Electricity doesn't have DNA either
I'm so hyped for your reactions on this series!
YESSSS!! I LOVE THAT YOU GUYS ARE CONTINUING WITH BEN 10! You're gonna love alien force its very entertaining!
The aliens are not combinations of his old aliens. They are completely new aliens, although a lot of them feel like upgraded versions of his old ones.
you have no idea how happy this notificationmade me!!! i literally jumped around my room lol,,, its not just cool to watch someone exploring a show that shaped my childhood, the fact that its blind wave just makes it 872879 times better!!! yall are sooooo fun i cant express it
I'm so glad that Alien Force is here. It's the Ben 10 series that I'm most nostalgic for.
Love alien force. Unironically think an HBO series where u let Ben age over time could work really well but OG Ben 10 and Ben 10 Alien Force are classics
I’m so happy to wake up to this. Alien force was a great series and I’m looking forward to watching every reaction for this like the original series
17:32 one of the best displays of character development for both Ben and Kevin.
Kevin abandoned his thirst for revenge, for his thirst for Gwen.
Now that we're finally on Alien Force, I HAVE to recommend Generator Rex. Its an amazing show by Man of Action. Even crosses over during Ultimate Alien. Its on par, if not better than UAF. Absolute joy to watch, Stellar cast too with JK Simmons, Mark Hamill, Daryl Sabara (yes, that little boy from Spy Kids), Troy Baker, John DiMaggio and SO MANY MORE.
I’m so excited for a specific episode 🫃😊
Kevin is voiced by the guy who does Beast Boy. It’s not Dante Bosco.
Likewise, Gwen is also voiced by the girl who played Terra in Teen Titans.
I love that in all the shows (except the OG) Ben’s mom is voiced by the same actress who played her in Race Against Time.
It's time for Ben 10 Alien Force!! I really loved watching this show as a kid, and Andrea Romano's casting and voice direction is legendary, especially for many of the shows she worked on like Teen Titans and Batman TAS!! Andrea's still one of my greatest heroes ever!
Yuri, Ashley and Greg are all childhood legends who voiced three of my favorite characters! I love many of the characters Yuri voices like Sasuke, Spider-Man, Ben Tennyson, Yosuke and the Prince; and I enjoy the fact that Ashley and Greg were also Terra and Beast Boy on Teen Titans!!
Plus I love the dark tone, character development, music and epic fights in Alien Force! Anyway, can't wait to see you guys react to the whole series!
Andrea Romero also voice director Avatar: The Last Airbender and Boondocks.
@@BeastForce141 Along with Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, TMNT 2012 and some seasons of SpongeBob SquarePants
Aaron is so gonna hate Argit. He's literally a walking needle dispenser.
7:36, The First Glimpse Of Gwen's New And Improved Powers! Trust Me, The Episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of" Is Going To Blow Your Mind!
11:27, Augstaka, Home World Of The Xenocites And Highbreed Is Cold, So They Don't Like Heat
14:19, Yes, Swampfire A (Immature Until The Omniverse Episode "Charmed I'm Sure, Then He Gets A Cool New Look) Methanosian From The Planet Methanos!
17:06 He Soon Gains The Ability To Cycle Between Aliens And Human By Simply Touching The Omnitrix Symbol!
I wouldn’t say Gwen’s powers are improved
Damn I really hoped they would react after the classic was done and they had a QnA with Ink Tank
i mean they have finished all of classic, they just haven't uploaded all of it yet
The idea to make a older more mature Ben have to track down Grandpa with Kevin and Gwen is such a great evolution of the original series! Also great voice actors!
2 things:
1. Very happy I got to watch 2 Ben 10 reactions today (the other being part 1 of the movie)
2. Surprised they connected Kevin to Creel since most people don’t seem to know the Absorbing man, so that’s very cool
Different people like different Ben 10 shows and my favorite is Ben 10 Alien Force.
1- Long-term plot: right at the start of episode when we have a proper plot in the original series the formula was villain of the week however here we have a plot straight out of the gate.
2-Maturity: then I was young I used to think that this characters are boring because their behaving like adults but the characters have maturity you can literally see the way that Ben talks that he has grown up into a responsible hero and that is exactly what we want.
3- character development: right from episode 1 we can see that Ben now has to take the situation in his own hands as there is a growth in character for all of these main protagonist and trust me if you and up reaching next series Ultimate Alien you're going to realize how much this character growth matters it may not be consistent but it sure as hell is pretty impressive.
This Ben 10 series was directed by Dwayne McDuffie who work alongside of the man of action team and he bring his superhero formula which he worked on show such as Static shock and Spider-Man here into Ben 10 giving the show in mature and almost a marvel and DC type of feeling.
The more you're going to watch the more you're going to enjoy Ben 10 Alien Force.
Two ben 10 episode drop on the same day amazing
My fave iteration of the franchise; especially the first two seasons. Season 3 I have mixed feelings towards. But I love it still.
I love how Eric is already loving it just like everyone expected.
(13:50) This was the moment that made me fall in love with this series
Swampfire remains my favorite alien of the entire franchise
It's either him or echo echo for me.
Oh especially the transformation with the growing cgi skeleton! So creative!
Ok, that aside the moment is pretty great. Wait, why is there a black void behind Swampfire?
@@erikpng who knows, artistic choice?
Also, I don't think those bones were CGI
@@LeonardoKlotz nah laziness. Could have shown a cool transformation but instead gave us a placeholder of sorts. Cause later on we do get actual cool transformations
@@erikpng oh, I didn't realize you were being sarcastic this whole time
I always liked how most of Ben's aliens in Alien Force were amalgamations of his previous ones. Swampfire being a good example, a combo of Heatblast and Wildvine.
The first original aliens are locked away due to the recalibration of the omnitrix which gave him 10 new aliens and more to unlock Plus the omnitrix has millions of alien dna so he has way more
They don’t know about the 1,000,900 yet
LET'S GO!
Welcome to Peak Ben 10
I hope they follow/react to the series long enough to get to Omniverse.
yeah i know its not loved as much but the animation is soooo much smoother
@@Tekologicheck, one of the best looking shows CN has ever put out. The OV hate is sort of a thing of the past. Just hoping there aren't buttholes who won't vote for it intentionally. But the comments here are generally pro OV so hopefully we'll get it.
I'm so fucking happy we're here. Alien Force and Ultimate Alien are peak Ben 10 and I can't wait to continue this journey with you guys :)
Kevin is voiced by Greg Cipes, not Dante
I remember when this show was coming when I was a kid, the hype was so real and it was an event every week when a new episode came out. True part of my childhood.
The best part about leaving the original series behind... We don't have to anticipate the "Gwen and Max are a useful part of the team that Ben has to appreciate" plot for the 17th episode in a row.
So glad your watching Alien Force this is gonna be a wild ride
Let’s go!
Alien Force is well written show in Season 1-2.
Alien Force intro for me it’s the best and it fits the vibe.
Ben Tennyson is very well developed in Season 1-2, as you see him, what has he become since Classic Series.
contestant of what?
As someone who is also experiencing all of this for the first time, after binge watched classic Ben 10, watching Alien Force is possibly the largest amount of tonal whiplash I've experienced that leads to a positive result. It's wild how different the show is and still works in the same world established before. super looking forward to seeing future reactions and continuing the journey myself
1:48 I love the opening.
Omg. Thank you guys for voting and continuing this series!!
Haha Yes!!! The Ben 10 saga continues!!! Whoooooo!
been a huge fan of the reaction series and so glad you guys are continuing, it made me join the patreon for the first time because im so excited to go on this journey with you guys
I really hope Ultimate alien then omniverse get voted so they can finish the prime timeline I think they’ll love it
I feel like if they end up reacting to Ultimate Alien they’d take a break from Ben 10
Ultimate Alien to me just sounds like more seasons of alien force, i really hope they dont make it a different series, if Omniverse gets put on a vite, i doubt it will win as good as omniverse is not many actually watched it and alot who havent see it as a reboot because they never actually checked it out, happend on a different react channel who did all series as votes, all got voted exept omniverse who is still not voted even after a year of Ultimate Alien having been reacted to
@@silverstone9836which channel are we talking here? Well, people here seem generally pro Omniverse so hopefully it will win.
@@erikpng TheFlamingShark but he had to redo his channel I think twice so I dunno if that's even his name still
@@silverstone9836 but didn't he react to it? Or the flaming shark was the long hair dude and not the other dude.
Finally! I've been waiting when we'll get to Alien Force. By far my favourite season
"That's Dante" No, it's Greg Cipes, AKA Beast Boy.
& michaelango
Wow that was fast finally arrived at alien force
This isn't that obvious but the show has already diverged from the Ben 10,000 future. One of the theories for that is that since Ben met his future self, his future will turn out different. Future Ben doesn't remember going to the future when he was 10 so the timeline already diverged when the time-travel happened. Stuff like Grandpa Max getting a birthday cake at the end of that episode or the Omnitrix getting an update in this are also points of difference.
And in the Classic future Ben never removed the omnitrix
@@axelnilsson5124 That is... kind of obvious I think?
Yuri Lowenthal, our new voice of Ben, has previously been Sasuke, Icicle Jr. and Lagoon Boy from Young Justice, and Spider-Man from the PlayStation game.
And Kevin isn’t Dante Basco, he’s Greg Cipes, aka Beast Boy
I have never seen this Ben 10 tried to watch it last year couldn't get into it hopefully I can with you guys.
Also I don't know if Rick has to wear these glasses for medical reasons or style reasons but either way they are cool af
grew up watching it and love it
About Kevin being evil in the future timeline , well that tineline doesn't exist anymore because young ben saw this timeline
Actually I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one it's not that it doesn't exist anymore its just the fact that wasn't their future otherwise that Ben and Gwen would have remember that experience and (Spoiled Alert) kinda like how Ultimate Ben 10k experience going to the future with his Gewn again because we know that Ultimate Ben 10k isn't the Prime Ben because he never gave up his Omnitrix for the Ultimatrix if you look at his arms his Omnitrix is the same while Prime Ben has a gauntlet and with know because Prime Ben true Future self builds the Biomnitrix
So, one of the new perks with the recalibrated Omnitrix is that there is no time limit. Ben can stay as an ailen for as long as he can if he has energy
Sasuke, Ellie, and Beastboy teaming up! Love to hear Terra and Beastboy's voice actors working together again. Alien Force gets all the VAs for the main Teen Titans except Tara Strong (Raven) who voiced the original Ben.
Who is Ellie?
