One thing I love about Omniverse is how welcoming Ben is to aliens, and how the show depicts so much aliens as just people living their lives. Like, in Omniverse you totally would get Technorg as a recurring character who likes hanging out with Ben. Ben's best friend in that show is an alien.
Omniverse did significantly better on the world building. If we could change history I'd love to see the world where they keep the franchise more consistent and care more about the world building like Omniverse had.
@@zean6105 man I just rewatched the series like 2 months ago and watched that one multiple times since it’s one of my favorites and still never saw those pyronites and other things
@@diamond_dude1063 I'd like to say the Ben10 is so underrated my old school nobody watched Ben10 they just watched Dragon Ball, DC, Marvel, Pokemon and shit
That'd take quite a bit of research and calculation. First of all, gas prices rise and fall fairly often (currently we're on a rise cause of that stupid pipeline incident), so you can't just check your 2021 local gas station price and slap it in the equation, you would have to go back to the years Ben 10 was made (the 2000s). Second, every state has different average prices on gas (probably because of difference in taxes) and as gas station companies are always in competition with one another, each station has different prices to compete with other local stations.
Fun fact: the walking mushrooms are one of the only unnamed species from the classic series. They also share Wildvine's home planet, which may have something to do with unlocking him? One of the aliens from the character designers' Go Fund Me last year was Funguy who is a member of this species, his only described power is he emits laughing spores from his arms, which makes his name even more fitting.
@Siboniso Buthelezi true. They could be related however, as there are many different types of mushroom, so there could be many different types of the species?
I honestly thought that the reason the Omnitrix turned Ben into Wildvine is yes, because of the fungi king but for a different reason like, it turned Ben into Wildvine to help UNDERSTAND the fungi king! Maybe to converse with it and resolve the situation peacefully? Evident that that wasn't gonna work out. I like this theory because it caters to the "I created the Omnitrix so that all species can understand one another" idea. Also another "observation" I made. I think Kevin's goo is flammable is because it's like a compound. It's missing a vital compound to make it non-flammable. Like Ben said, each of Kevin's powers is 1/10th of Ben's which explains why it couldn't even hold Ben for more than 10 seconds but original stinkfly's goo stopped Vilgax for a good amount of time
Grudge match is honestly my favorite episode of this season, love the Diamond Head fight at the start and one liners there. Then seeing Ben teach Kevin about his powers was amazing, and what we could have seen if Kevin decided to join the team in his first episode. Finally, then with the cannon ball fight *chef kiss*
You have GOTTA do a good tier max counter, like every time he “activates god mode” aka dodging lasers jumping around and other crazy stuff that you wouldn’t an old man to do.
Now I always rationalized Max’s character regression in “Ultimate Weapon” was the result of him falling back into the headspace of when he was originally on this case. He used to be surrounded by people who knew the same things he did and how grave that sword would be, so mentally he was no longer on a road trip with his grandkids, but back in his plumber days with a team. However he was much more oblivious than I remembered so I think if anything they played that mentality up way too much.
5:18 I always figured this was what the Grey Matter "perk" was; The increased intelligence from that alien having enabled him to adapt to his new, very different body so much in such little time. Ben says that each specific alien's powers that Kevin's using is individually weaker than the same from Ben's pure aliens as basically a trade-off for having all of them at once, so it'd make sense that the intelligence boost would be significantly less pronounced in Kevin's case, and getting used to his crazy mutated alien hybrid body with 5 extra limbs, flight, pyrokinesis, and ghost powers, that ain't easy without some high spec mental ability.
I've never understood why Ben and Gwen dislike each other so much. Before the road trip, they barely interacted and they don't even go to the same school.
@@nokizzey5985 he's saying, that before the road trip, Ben and Gwen hardly / never talked. Hes saying it's crazy that family that didn't even talk to eachother have a deep hatred for eachother since the roadtrip started. He's not talking about the last episode, he's talking about the road trip.
Maybe his Grey Matter intelligence allows him to control all the powers His Ghost Freak power allows him to be light enough to fly Maybe he used his Wildmut power to track them down before the episode started
Well wouldn't that have been something. Shame that the writers there didn't consider it, but in-universe, I tossed it as they being occupied with the HighBreed invasion on other planets. Edit: maybe a good take on your ideea would have been to see, after the Armada was called back to their planet, we do get to see some planets celebrating their retreat with the Enforcers alongside them
@@alexhuduma9474 There were Highbreed invasions on other planets? I know Galvan Prime was destroyed, but I though that only Earth had a jump gate, and it was the staging point of a universal invasion.
I forgot Vulkanus appeared in the original series. I only really remember him from that Taydenite episode in Alien Force. I like how Technorg is the same species as Vulkanus. Seeing "prominent" characters share a species always feels nice.
I was always curious at how kevin never had the intelligence of greymatter but with how kevin's powers are 1/10 of ben's, even if greymatter had an IQ of like 1000 kevin would still have only average intelligence. Pretty funny
Keep in mind that, even if they were old man, the Omnitrix always picks prime examples of that species. Just like there are plenty of humans that can be very fit on old age (like Max himself), then it's not too farfetched to think that plenty, if not most of Max's aliens would still be very capable.
I'm convinced that whoever named the different species of aliens on this show are legit scientists because they sound as real as anything you'd hear in real life.
My theory with Kevin 11’s grey matter parts is that it’s what keeps him sane. According to the Kevin lore (at least the Osmosian, not sure about the mutant version) it says the more they absorb the more unstable they become. I think grey matter’s mental strength is what kept the little boy in the body of 10 aliens painfully merged together cohesive enough to still be himself.
@@luongmaihunggia its a theory olso we saw ben could go to rex's universe so ben could have just taken max to rex and they could have ejected rex's nanite into max
Ben needs to get a restraining order on Tiny, or Max needs to get one for him EDIT: Now that I think about it, maybe that's actually why we barely ever see them again
I think she and that psychic enforcer got together at the end, hence why she said, "I found a new partner." That being said, the idea of Max and/or Ben getting a restraining order is hilarious.
Wouldn't Tiny be able to tell if a member of her own species is young? Ben turns into that species equivalent of a 10-11 year old so wouldn't Tiny notice that? I guess it wouldn't matter if Tetramands don't have any morals against that but I doubt the writers would ever make that a thing in any way.
@@mohammadqasimawais9155 As I said with my comment. He turns into the equivalent of a 10 year old of whatever species he turns into. Doesn't matter if they reach maturity at 10 human years old, because he turns into a 10 year old equivalent of that species.
I mean, him doing a lifeform scan on planets for the best fighters makes sense for why they got picked up, because not only is Kevin a freakish monstrosity, but each of Ben's Aliens are noted to be the peak condition of their species, the absolute best of the best while remaining still the same species
And even without the "best of the best" part, Diamondhead is a Petrosapian, a species brought down to only two specimen: Tetrax and Ben. So it makes sense for why he was picked.
I thought , his aliens were from species with abilities that can be actually considered a super powered Take bats , they have echo location which can be usefull for humans . But thats not enough to be a combat suited species . Most ben 10 aliens are like super heroes . They are strong and durable . Some can fly even though its not their primary power .
@@uvindukulathunga3860Nah, any sentient species can be in the omnitrix. The only reason Ben has all the super-powered ones is for the plot. You could argue that most of the planets are dangerous enough to warrant all the aliens being super-powered, though.
max’s willingness to let people literally die is a bit out of character, however it’s something that’s consistent within the other series too. like in UA when ben says he’s going to kill Kevin, Max says he’d do it but that it’s not something Ben would do. i might be paraphrasing a bit, but it’s something i just noticed
@@skibot9974 I disagree because if Ghostfreak had one contingency plan incase of his demise, chances are he'd have several more. And Eon is also a pretty smart guy, he was able to defeat hundreds of versions of Ben Tennyson, clearly he would have a backup plain to if one defeated him. Enoch tho, he's just human. The Forever Knights don't have tech that can revive the dead.
@@skibot9974 I always thought that Eon actually died in that episode and every other appearance of Eon in omniverse is a younger version of him who doesn't know when he is going to die kind of like maltruent being stuck in a time loop
Would have been fun to see Ben fighting more gods (other than celestial sapiens) like the greek or the ones that guarded the sword and see where the aliens stack up. Kind of like a technology vs magic type thing or divine.
I think Grudge Match did the whole 'The Villain and Hero have to work together!' Plot a tad early. This is the first time we've really seen Kevins mutated form, it feels like there should've been at least one other time we see him like that before this episode? Idk. Loved the episode as a kid, and stil do 👍
I feel like Cannonbolt has the ability to compress his body to a smaller size to increase his speed when in ball form. In the game, Protector of Earth, he has that one move where he compresses until he implodes. But it’s just a random thought.
In Grudge match, I'm surprised that none of the aliens attempted to straight up kill wand eat ben. In the animated ben 10 film, the diamond head stated that humans were a Delicacy. But whatever.
@@lucario2able they would have to try and sever his arm off. The blast that would result from them trying to take it of somehow would cause severe to fatal damage to all of them except Kevin or Ben, since the Omnitrix would try and keep him alive for as long as possible. Not to mention, the blast would most likely cause some heavy damage to the room if they were in a corridor or something.
@@dregmek Yea idc. These aliens done know what happens if they try to take it from Ben. It's just I feel they could overlook the human delicacy part since they saw him using the omnitrix. I think they would choose to attempt that as opposed to eating him. I didn't say they would successfully do it. Just that they would try.
@@lucario2able again like other said teh guards prob would stop them thus they think it wouldn't be worth it or didn't really care for the omnitrix not everyone obsessed has vilgax is with the watch
i can’t stress enough about how much i love this series. it’s so cool :)) i like the whole layout of it all. i enjoy the start where kuro gives us updates, the breakdowns, comparing my rating with his, and the conclusion. i always want more. i love the direction you’re taking things :))
I love that you watched this because people seem to forget that one time that Ben and Kevin not only went to space but, for the first time, they worked together, and he kicked Kevin into space and yet Travis episode is still underrated. It’s nice to see somebody appreciate it.
I think Stinkfly has different variations of his acid, kinda like how spiders have 13 different variations of their silk that comes from the spinaret, each made in its own chamber. Stinkfly may have something similar for producing his varying acids.
I think Ben didn't have access to a water transformation so that is why stinkflys slime can explode, be sticky, be slimy, be electric conductive and put out fires. Original 21 Aliens all had other powers. Wildvine camouflage, bombs and tunneling. Four arms sound, earth and Super strength(and fire resistance). Upgrades Lazer and short teleport. Even heatblasts short teleport(the building on fire he teleports 2 humans without burning) Where ultimate there's chromastone one power, lone Star more like LAME.
Thinking about Frankenstrike. HiS has superintelegence, electric powers, tech control and strength. I mean who cares about benwolf or upgrade or grey matter or even fourarms. That's the alien.
Honestly I'd wanna see a Detrovite transformation for 5 Years later based on this guy's design, seeing as we know he's the same species as Vulcanis so it'd be super interesting to see a similar transformation, Armor and even an club or mace like object as a weapon. IDEAS FOR THE INK TANK
I feel like the Galactic Enforcers being really stereotypical super heros calls back to the original idea for Ben 10 being that he can turn into 10 super heros and not aliens.
I think the reason Wildvine was unlocked is a point towards Omnitrix having some form of sentience as it knew Ben couldn’t handle the situation with his arsenal so it gave him a new tool.
Also in the pop-ups of "Secrets of the Omnitrix" it was clearly explained that Incarcecon (which is a prison for aliens since the Null Void tech is only exclusive to plumber) was made by the first version of the Galactic Enforcers 500 years the series
Oh man, when I did my watchthrough, I was so excited that Tom Kane was using his grandiose Star Wars Narrator voice. I was not pleased when Jeff Bennett replaced him
I’ve always liked how Ultimate Weapon moves away from the alien thematic, for the series, the pumblers and the Forever Knights. Going after supernatural stuff.
I think if they were going to do this kind of story with Max, it should have been over something more genuinely world-shattering, like the Annihalargh or something of a similar scale.
Considering how consistently inconsistent they make Canonbolt's size I just head-canon that Canonbolt can alter his size within a certain range especially in ball form. Either he curls up more tightly making him denser for harded hits or he has a far less pronounced version of Humungaour's size ability.
I used to think trechnorg and the vulcanus were the same person. I think the reason is it's the exact next episode and we are not shown if his wrecking ball arm is just a cover over an arm and we assume it's just a suit thing for both (e.g. the spikes and cover and for technorg the wrecking ball has his hand inside).
I was so confused about how Kevin came back, I always thought that I missed an episode or something, for there is nothing about how it looked like he died last time and no explanation of how he found them or anything like it
Dont forget they dropped him into water. He has RIP jaws who is aquatic as well as super strength and durability so a fall wouldn't kill him so easily in the ocean.
@@rushalias8511 One thing that was better about old ben ten was there was no best alien they each had a function, and worked in different situations, in the new one there was a strongest and some felt flat out better or worse
@@daraghokane4236 Exactly, And a Problem with the Newer ones is that since some Aliens can Basically do Everything, You just Question why Ben just dont use them everytime
@@kirbyfazendoummoonwalk9214 you also question why he picks some since they have aliens who are functionally the same in some cases. Like why pick wildmutt if you have rath or why pick Ditto if you have echo echo
@@kirbyfazendoummoonwalk9214 Like echo is dido but better. The crab alien is gray matter but better Wish alien X stayed unreliable best and worst alien to balance it out. It would be a ironic ending to villgax if he gets the watch goes alien X and says give me an army they both go no release me they both go no and he is traped by the thing he always wanted
I wanna say that when Ben returned and it seemed like only a small amount of time passed- well the reason is probably because the ship was rapidly moving away from earth the entire time and space time is known to be wonky when these distances are traveled. I'm not exactly sure how it works but it is just a decent excuse as to why they didn't have to change scenes on earth.
That moving texture on the crowd was a lot like what they did in Citizen Kane, where, for the famous tracking shot of the crowd, they had a matte painting, but, to add in motion, they moved a piece of paper underneath slits they made in the painting. Just thought it was a neat detatil
66 Is usually some frail opponent for Ben which is just more of a irritation than a threat, but in this episode all his tricks with his suit which we never see again made him OP. I would've liked to see this version of him more.
If I had to guess, Stinkfly's goop can swap between being flammable or not. He has 4 bits to shoot out of after all. I think it works like this: He can make a sticky but non-flammable version. That when shot at flames snuffs the oxygen and puts out the fire. But when shooting the 2nd varient, it can catch fire. Or maybe if gets set on fire *after* being shot out it's flammable but because it was shooting smaller active flames it easily removed the oxygen
I just realized they retconned Vulcanus’ true form. He looks like a buff guy underneath his suit in the classic series, but he’s actually a dwarf in UAF
Nice theory They would make more sense than it being flammable it wa stated that kevin is 10% of every alien of the first 10 is I think that is how it works? I think
Seeing as we never see Stinkfly use flammable slime, it does make more sense that the flammable slime is a Kevin specific thing, like a side effect of his mutation.
I was really jealous of kids who had young parents who could learn how to set up internet game access. Alas, fusion fall will forever be a fantasy for me lol
legitimately love how your cat always gets in these vids haha. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought Wildvine's introduction deserved a bit more screentime
We totally learn more about the Mycelium. In Secrets of the Omnitrix, planet Zenon (or Xenon) where Asmath is hanging out, the planet is covered in mushrooms that were clearly an invasive species since there's buildings and tech left behind. This also gives us the reason behind Wildvine's appearance. This alien Mycelium must be interconnected with Wildvine DNA, given that Wildvines (rather savage and animalistic Wildvines) live on the planet and capture Gwen, to the extent that Ben even thought she was dead. My theory is that those Walking mushrooms are just the early stages of the Mycelium takeover on Earth, sort of a fodder force to keep surface beings busy until the spores can be released into the atmosphere, whereupon the planet can be seeded and perhaps these spore could even leave the planet outright either in this release or in future stages wherein the cycle repeats until the planet is covered. Wildvines may be one of the later stages of this fungal takeover. No longer needing a mere distraction force and instead evolving actual warriors to defend the primary Mycelium. Which is maybe what the Omnitrix was able to scan from the DNA of the fungus around Ben, this warrior form, or rather just the adolescent form, given that Ben's transformations are also tied to his own human maturity. There are of course holes in this theory, given that the wiki's list Wildvine's species and home planet on Flors Verdance. Not to mention Omniverse characters. But I thought my explanation could have some merit in the Flourana evolution anyway.
20:48 The Galvans wrote the laws for the galaxy. It's mentioned when Vilgax becomes the conqueror of 10 worlds in Alien Force. Though I find it shady that they made it legal to conquer planets as long as you defeat their strongest champion, clearly the Galvans shouldn't be trusted if they wrote that into law.
Actually it's pretty smart I mean if the made it illegal to conquer planets it wouldn't be taken seriously because war is pretty much inevitable due to many reasons this way however would minimise the violence at the very least.
9:33 I believe the way it worked is that it sort of splattered and covered the fire, cutting off the oxygen to keep it ignited whereas if the goo was to be ignited by a fully active fire it would ignite. But that's just me thinking
Glad Grudge Match got a 24/25 ngl, definitely one of my favourite episodes also I love these breakdowns in general, can't wait to see what I missed in Secrets of the omnitrix (It will be reviewed, right?)
The best part of the classic series is all the new aliens introduced throughout. Cannonbolt, Wildvine, WayBig, Ditto, EyeGuy, Buzzshock, Upchuck, the setup is just great. The Alien Force and Ultimate Alien era of Ben 10 is my favorite in the series.
In Ultimate Weapon, when Grey Matter is distracting Enoch, you can hear Richard Horvitz’s actual voice. They must’ve forgotten to shift his voice up when saying a bunch of “whoa’s”
i think my dream ben 10 show would be like a 13 year old ben whos more caring about his hometown and is less universe saving and more friendly neighbourhood hero
Grudge match always reminded me of that Justice League episode in which Superman gets trapped in Mogu's war world and has to fight in gladiator matches.

Kuro at the end of the series should calculate how much money has grandpa max spent on fuel.
He did not do that
@@thatonedude1103 I know quite sad
That'd take quite a bit of research and calculation. First of all, gas prices rise and fall fairly often (currently we're on a rise cause of that stupid pipeline incident), so you can't just check your 2021 local gas station price and slap it in the equation, you would have to go back to the years Ben 10 was made (the 2000s). Second, every state has different average prices on gas (probably because of difference in taxes) and as gas station companies are always in competition with one another, each station has different prices to compete with other local stations.

"Remember what he did to Phil" is so funny out of context 😂
Fun fact: the walking mushrooms are one of the only unnamed species from the classic series. They also share Wildvine's home planet, which may have something to do with unlocking him? One of the aliens from the character designers' Go Fund Me last year was Funguy who is a member of this species, his only described power is he emits laughing spores from his arms, which makes his name even more fitting.
@Siboniso Buthelezi true. They could be related however, as there are many different types of mushroom, so there could be many different types of the species?
I honestly thought that the reason the Omnitrix turned Ben into Wildvine is yes, because of the fungi king but for a different reason like, it turned Ben into Wildvine to help UNDERSTAND the fungi king! Maybe to converse with it and resolve the situation peacefully? Evident that that wasn't gonna work out.
I like this theory because it caters to the "I created the Omnitrix so that all species can understand one another" idea.
Also another "observation" I made. I think Kevin's goo is flammable is because it's like a compound. It's missing a vital compound to make it non-flammable. Like Ben said, each of Kevin's powers is 1/10th of Ben's which explains why it couldn't even hold Ben for more than 10 seconds but original stinkfly's goo stopped Vilgax for a good amount of time
But if the original stinkfly's goo isn't flammable, how did Ben manage to teach Kevin that explosive goo trick?
@@natanaelsantos3924 If memory serves, Ben saw a bit of fire hit some of the goo on the ground and saw it ignite.

Grudge match is honestly my favorite episode of this season, love the Diamond Head fight at the start and one liners there. Then seeing Ben teach Kevin about his powers was amazing, and what we could have seen if Kevin decided to join the team in his first episode. Finally, then with the cannon ball fight *chef kiss*
It was the first episode of Ben 10 that I ever saw, so it will always have a special place in my heart.

Now I always rationalized Max’s character regression in “Ultimate Weapon” was the result of him falling back into the headspace of when he was originally on this case. He used to be surrounded by people who knew the same things he did and how grave that sword would be, so mentally he was no longer on a road trip with his grandkids, but back in his plumber days with a team. However he was much more oblivious than I remembered so I think if anything they played that mentality up way too much.
So Max had a form of PTSD? 😮
@@danielsurvivor1372with all the s*** he's gone through in his career, how would he not have PTSD?
5:18 I always figured this was what the Grey Matter "perk" was; The increased intelligence from that alien having enabled him to adapt to his new, very different body so much in such little time. Ben says that each specific alien's powers that Kevin's using is individually weaker than the same from Ben's pure aliens as basically a trade-off for having all of them at once, so it'd make sense that the intelligence boost would be significantly less pronounced in Kevin's case, and getting used to his crazy mutated alien hybrid body with 5 extra limbs, flight, pyrokinesis, and ghost powers, that ain't easy without some high spec mental ability.
The wrestling one always reminded me of the Planet Hulk storyline.
Me too
I've never understood why Ben and Gwen dislike each other so much. Before the road trip, they barely interacted and they don't even go to the same school.

@@vetarlittorf1807 yeh
I always thought Kevin's own mindset and anger actually hindered his ability with those kinds of powers
Maybe his Grey Matter intelligence allows him to control all the powers
His Ghost Freak power allows him to be light enough to fly

Imagine in “war of the worlds” when Ben called in all of his favours he called in the Galactic enforcers
Well wouldn't that have been something. Shame that the writers there didn't consider it, but in-universe, I tossed it as they being occupied with the HighBreed invasion on other planets.

I like how Technorg is the same species as Vulkanus. Seeing "prominent" characters share a species always feels nice.
I was always curious at how kevin never had the intelligence of greymatter but with how kevin's powers are 1/10 of ben's, even if greymatter had an IQ of like 1000 kevin would still have only average intelligence. Pretty funny

Keep in mind that, even if they were old man, the Omnitrix always picks prime examples of that species. Just like there are plenty of humans that can be very fit on old age (like Max himself), then it's not too farfetched to think that plenty, if not most of Max's aliens would still be very capable.
I'm convinced that whoever named the different species of aliens on this show are legit scientists because they sound as real as anything you'd hear in real life.
My theory with Kevin 11’s grey matter parts is that it’s what keeps him sane.
According to the Kevin lore (at least the Osmosian, not sure about the mutant version) it says the more they absorb the more unstable they become.
I think grey matter’s mental strength is what kept the little boy in the body of 10 aliens painfully merged together cohesive enough to still be himself.
Never thought of it that way, thanks for the headcannon, probably means that Brainstorm is also what kept Kevin sane in Ultimate Alien.

Wouldn't Tiny be able to tell if a member of her own species is young?

I guess it wouldn't matter if Tetramands don't have any morals against that but I doubt the writers would ever make that a thing in any way.

12:04 The first appearance of the Omnitrix's infamous failsafe, interesting to see how it evolved from instant recharges to automatic transformations
I mean, him doing a lifeform scan on planets for the best fighters makes sense for why they got picked up, because not only is Kevin a freakish monstrosity, but each of Ben's Aliens are noted to be the peak condition of their species, the absolute best of the best while remaining still the same species
This Apex of species is only a omniverse thing
@@Eric-py8yy that's not how canon works.
And even without the "best of the best" part, Diamondhead is a Petrosapian, a species brought down to only two specimen: Tetrax and Ben. So it makes sense for why he was picked.
I thought , his aliens were from species with abilities that can be actually considered a super powered
Take bats , they have echo location which can be usefull for humans . But thats not enough to be a combat suited species .
Most ben 10 aliens are like super heroes . They are strong and durable . Some can fly even though its not their primary power .
@@uvindukulathunga3860Nah, any sentient species can be in the omnitrix. The only reason Ben has all the super-powered ones is for the plot. You could argue that most of the planets are dangerous enough to warrant all the aliens being super-powered, though.
max’s willingness to let people literally die is a bit out of character, however it’s something that’s consistent within the other series too. like in UA when ben says he’s going to kill Kevin, Max says he’d do it but that it’s not something Ben would do. i might be paraphrasing a bit, but it’s something i just noticed

I think Grudge Match did the whole 'The Villain and Hero have to work together!' Plot a tad early. This is the first time we've really seen Kevins mutated form, it feels like there should've been at least one other time we see him like that before this episode? Idk. Loved the episode as a kid, and stil do 👍
well we saw his mutated form the last time he was here......he just didnt really get to use it
I feel like Cannonbolt has the ability to compress his body to a smaller size to increase his speed when in ball form. In the game, Protector of Earth, he has that one move where he compresses until he implodes. But it’s just a random thought.
In Grudge match, I'm surprised that none of the aliens attempted to straight up kill wand eat ben. In the animated ben 10 film, the diamond head stated that humans were a Delicacy. But whatever.
Maybe they knew the guard guys would have stepped in to stop them? Probably wouldn't like people eating their gladiator participants.
Or try to steal the Omnitrix. Screw a delicacy when the most powerful weapon exists and its right there lol.
@@lucario2able they would have to try and sever his arm off. The blast that would result from them trying to take it of somehow would cause severe to fatal damage to all of them except Kevin or Ben, since the Omnitrix would try and keep him alive for as long as possible.
Not to mention, the blast would most likely cause some heavy damage to the room if they were in a corridor or something.
@@dregmek Yea idc. These aliens done know what happens if they try to take it from Ben. It's just I feel they could overlook the human delicacy part since they saw him using the omnitrix. I think they would choose to attempt that as opposed to eating him. I didn't say they would successfully do it. Just that they would try.
@@lucario2able again like other said teh guards prob would stop them thus they think it wouldn't be worth it or didn't really care for the omnitrix not everyone obsessed has vilgax is with the watch

I don’t just love the series I love the channel
Right?? Feels like we get to hang out with Kuro and watch the show with him
I love that you watched this because people seem to forget that one time that Ben and Kevin not only went to space but, for the first time, they worked together, and he kicked Kevin into space and yet Travis episode is still underrated. It’s nice to see somebody appreciate it.
I think Stinkfly has different variations of his acid, kinda like how spiders have 13 different variations of their silk that comes from the spinaret, each made in its own chamber. Stinkfly may have something similar for producing his varying acids.
I think Ben didn't have access to a water transformation so that is why stinkflys slime can explode, be sticky, be slimy, be electric conductive and put out fires. Original 21 Aliens all had other powers. Wildvine camouflage, bombs and tunneling. Four arms sound, earth and Super strength(and fire resistance).
Upgrades Lazer and short teleport. Even heatblasts short teleport(the building on fire he teleports 2 humans without burning)
Where ultimate there's chromastone one power, lone Star more like LAME.
Thinking about Frankenstrike. HiS has superintelegence, electric powers, tech control and strength. I mean who cares about benwolf or upgrade or grey matter or even fourarms. That's the alien.
I love the offhand commentary you put into these videos like "ben's a weeb" "look at the road" "lol roasted"
18:33 “Ben’s a weeb”
Best quote in the whole video
Honestly I'd wanna see a Detrovite transformation for 5 Years later based on this guy's design, seeing as we know he's the same species as Vulcanis so it'd be super interesting to see a similar transformation, Armor and even an club or mace like object as a weapon. IDEAS FOR THE INK TANK
I’d read that
I feel like the Galactic Enforcers being really stereotypical super heros calls back to the original idea for Ben 10 being that he can turn into 10 super heros and not aliens.
I think the reason Wildvine was unlocked is a point towards Omnitrix having some form of sentience as it knew Ben couldn’t handle the situation with his arsenal so it gave him a new tool.
Also in the pop-ups of "Secrets of the Omnitrix" it was clearly explained that Incarcecon (which is a prison for aliens since the Null Void tech is only exclusive to plumber) was made by the first version of the Galactic Enforcers 500 years the series

I’ve always liked how Ultimate Weapon moves away from the alien thematic, for the series, the pumblers and the Forever Knights. Going after supernatural stuff.
3:32, can we appreciate this exchange between Ben and Kevin.
I think if they were going to do this kind of story with Max, it should have been over something more genuinely world-shattering, like the Annihalargh or something of a similar scale.
Max: get out of there

MY INSTANT REACTION;HOLEY SHIT
The mycelium had so much potential, absolutely the coolest idea present, too bad they never followed up
Considering how consistently inconsistent they make Canonbolt's size I just head-canon that Canonbolt can alter his size within a certain range especially in ball form. Either he curls up more tightly making him denser for harded hits or he has a far less pronounced version of Humungaour's size ability.
The Tennyson's strength is actually because their part alien
Even Max?!
@@foisopracurtir6389how else is he able to hit it with the alien ladies
I used to think trechnorg and the vulcanus were the same person. I think the reason is it's the exact next episode and we are not shown if his wrecking ball arm is just a cover over an arm and we assume it's just a suit thing for both (e.g. the spikes and cover and for technorg the wrecking ball has his hand inside).
"All three Tennysons use their infinite strength, not even four arms could've done that"

18:58: welp, looks like me and my friends have a new drinking game, every time Ben's eyebrow color changes, take a shot.
I wanna say that when Ben returned and it seemed like only a small amount of time passed- well the reason is probably because the ship was rapidly moving away from earth the entire time and space time is known to be wonky when these distances are traveled. I'm not exactly sure how it works but it is just a decent excuse as to why they didn't have to change scenes on earth.

That moving texture on the crowd was a lot like what they did in Citizen Kane, where, for the famous tracking shot of the crowd, they had a matte painting, but, to add in motion, they moved a piece of paper underneath slits they made in the painting. Just thought it was a neat detatil
66 Is usually some frail opponent for Ben which is just more of a irritation than a threat, but in this episode all his tricks with his suit which we never see again made him OP. I would've liked to see this version of him more.
If I had to guess, Stinkfly's goop can swap between being flammable or not. He has 4 bits to shoot out of after all. I think it works like this:
He can make a sticky but non-flammable version. That when shot at flames snuffs the oxygen and puts out the fire.
But when shooting the 2nd varient, it can catch fire. Or maybe if gets set on fire *after* being shot out it's flammable but because it was shooting smaller active flames it easily removed the oxygen

Nice theory They would make more sense than it being flammable it wa stated that kevin is 10% of every alien of the first 10 is I think that is how it works? I think
Seeing as we never see Stinkfly use flammable slime, it does make more sense that the flammable slime is a Kevin specific thing, like a side effect of his mutation.

We totally learn more about the Mycelium. In Secrets of the Omnitrix, planet Zenon (or Xenon) where Asmath is hanging out, the planet is covered in mushrooms that were clearly an invasive species since there's buildings and tech left behind. This also gives us the reason behind Wildvine's appearance. This alien Mycelium must be interconnected with Wildvine DNA, given that Wildvines (rather savage and animalistic Wildvines) live on the planet and capture Gwen, to the extent that Ben even thought she was dead. My theory is that those Walking mushrooms are just the early stages of the Mycelium takeover on Earth, sort of a fodder force to keep surface beings busy until the spores can be released into the atmosphere, whereupon the planet can be seeded and perhaps these spore could even leave the planet outright either in this release or in future stages wherein the cycle repeats until the planet is covered. Wildvines may be one of the later stages of this fungal takeover. No longer needing a mere distraction force and instead evolving actual warriors to defend the primary Mycelium. Which is maybe what the Omnitrix was able to scan from the DNA of the fungus around Ben, this warrior form, or rather just the adolescent form, given that Ben's transformations are also tied to his own human maturity.
There are of course holes in this theory, given that the wiki's list Wildvine's species and home planet on Flors Verdance. Not to mention Omniverse characters. But I thought my explanation could have some merit in the Flourana evolution anyway.
Pretty creative and i can fill this hole with sometimes like it's a subspecie
20:48 The Galvans wrote the laws for the galaxy. It's mentioned when Vilgax becomes the conqueror of 10 worlds in Alien Force. Though I find it shady that they made it legal to conquer planets as long as you defeat their strongest champion, clearly the Galvans shouldn't be trusted if they wrote that into law.
Actually it's pretty smart I mean if the made it illegal to conquer planets it wouldn't be taken seriously because war is pretty much inevitable due to many reasons this way however would minimise the violence at the very least.
It always bothered me that fungi are treated like plants in this episode, when they are closer to animals
9:33
I believe the way it worked is that it sort of splattered and covered the fire, cutting off the oxygen to keep it ignited whereas if the goo was to be ignited by a fully active fire it would ignite. But that's just me thinking
YES 50 minutes of this 😭😭
Man this is so cool being apart of these breakdowns voting and contributing
Glad Grudge Match got a 24/25 ngl, definitely one of my favourite episodes also I love these breakdowns in general, can't wait to see what I missed in Secrets of the omnitrix (It will be reviewed, right?)
The best part of the classic series is all the new aliens introduced throughout. Cannonbolt, Wildvine, WayBig, Ditto, EyeGuy, Buzzshock, Upchuck, the setup is just great. The Alien Force and Ultimate Alien era of Ben 10 is my favorite in the series.
In Ultimate Weapon, when Grey Matter is distracting Enoch, you can hear Richard Horvitz’s actual voice. They must’ve forgotten to shift his voice up when saying a bunch of “whoa’s”
i think my dream ben 10 show would be like a 13 year old ben whos more caring about his hometown and is less universe saving and more friendly neighbourhood hero
