FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. “Wouldn’t the Forever Knights not want to work with aliens?”

If it was for their own personal gain, I’d say they would. They’ve even worked with Ben himself a number of times in Alien Force onward. Besides, it’s JUST Driscoll, and Driscoll wants to usurp The Knight’s order, and therefore, isn’t afraid to bend his morals for what he sees as ‘the greater good.’

2. “How did Dr. Viktor return from the Null Void to Earth?”

Don’t know, and I don’t think it really matters. Villains show back up inexplicably in Ben 10 all the time. Maybe he met up with Vilgax and helped each other escape together but then they went their own ways? Maybe the portal didn’t actually send him to the Null Void, but teleported him super far away, and he found his way back to planet Earth? If we consider the canon of later episodes, perhaps Viktor hijacked one of the inner Plumber-operated prisons in the Null Void and used their teleporter? Take your pick.

3. “Isn’t Driscoll’s plan just the Servantis Arc from Omniverse?”

Nope, but I figured people might make those connections just because both Driscoll and Servantis have put together teams in relation to Ben. Servantis believes Ben is too powerful, and is too careless and immature to wield the power of the Omnitrix, and wants to take him out before he causes massive destruction. Driscoll believes that Ben besting The Knights over and over again has turned them into a joke (which they are), and Driscoll could do a much better job as Earth’s defender if he wielded the Sub Energy.

Servantis wants Ben gone, and Driscoll wants to both replace Ben and become a world-wide, anti-alien hero. Although, even if Driscoll and Servantis’ plans were similar, think about the countless Ben 10 villains that all had the exact same plan of ‘Ruling the World/ Galaxy/ Universe.’ I think making Ben’s villains target Ben and take him seriously enough to plan for him is a more interesting story than your typical power-hungry Vilgax, Zs’Skayr, Incursean, Dagon, Lord Transyl, or Aggregor.

4. "Why didn't you add Phil Billings?"

He has his own story to go through in Omniverse, first becoming a mutant, and then joining the Rooters. We don't need to give Phil two teams to be a part of.

Animo could have a suit that looks like a dragon, as dragons are often associated with knights and he could potentially have wings on the back and have flamethrowers in the palms of his hands

Edit:huh, I didn't think that so many people would like the idea of a dragon suit animo

The idea of Feedback being introduced in the final battle with the king would actually give us a reason for why Ben liked him so much in Omniverse and it would actually make it more heartbreaking when feedback is destroyed by Malware

So that leaves this episode at 25/25

I remember that time where Kuro basically quit as the host and had o.r ash and hershey run the channel, throughout 2019-2020 I became very keen to the new hosts and accepted that they will run the channel permanently

Then Kuro suddenly decided one day "Hey I'm bored, let's analyze each and every single fucking episode of ben 10"

And I was like "good to have you back man:)"

I'll admit... that would be one hell of an introduction to feedback and would be a good explanation as to how he became Ben's favorite. He defeated Ben's strongest villain.

[Joyoboyogomu]

Feedback’s introduction could be a bit cleaner, I would make it so that Feedback’s species were the ones to master that energy orb. Make it so that we see the aliens hand like in the original, but showcase Feedback’s fingers, giving us some foreshadowing. Once the Forever Knight starts using it, it affects the omnitrix like you say, which shows the silhouette of Feedback. Once he does transform into Feedback, it doesn’t feel like it just came out of nowhere. That’s how I would redo Feedback’s origin

[walterobrien]

Honestly I’m shocked Omniverse didn’t bring back or even reference the Negative 10.

[grandmagertrude]

I like how you managed to hint at victor actually caring about the mummy and werewolf to some extent by having him wear they’re remains in remembrance of them

[Anthony-pmwu]

In the end battle with Ben shifting through aliens, he could transform into Ghostfreak again but in a more Zs'Skayr appearance to pay off the ending of "Be Afraid of the Dark"

[caindoesart]

I literally go chills when you yelled “FEEDBACK”

[forrygaming]

Kuro: "Oh yeah. Rojo can fly now"

Ben: "She flies now?!"
Gwen: "She flies now!"

Max: "She... she was always flying..."

[CreepyFrawley]

when you said that Dr Vicktor and Driscoll would talk about how Vicktor got on earth, I was imagining some sort of Family Guy style exposition, like:
"Boy you sure were crashing on earth's atmosphere and I found you and recruited you"

Fun Fact:
I didn't want any spoilers for your Negative 10, so I asked my brother to open this video for me (so I didn't see any potential spoilers on the thumbnail) and make it full screen while I didn't look.

[pedrohenriquemoraessantos]

One idea: when charmcaster and gwen team up i imagine her teaching gwen how to use her pink energy constructs like in alien force (so explaining why her magic change color between series)

[Pryderi_]

I think it’d be fun if Animo had a defensive turtle suit. That way he would be able to withstand some powerful hits himself while having the bat do the actual fighting for him. It could even be worked in to shield against a blast from the sub energy or something

"unless that's too unfair, in that case he'd just use Upchuck again"

[dreadman]

Honestly, the inclusion of Kevin 11 in the Negative 10 was really obvious in retrospect. Real shame they didn’t go with it tho.

[JPJ]

Since Kevin, Logan, Clancy, and Rojo all arrived before the Tennysons, does this mean the four of them still get to pose dramatically on top of the cliff?

[angrilyscreaminghotdog]

Judging by how Dr. Animo's past suits have been based around crustaceans, mammals, and mollusks, his Negative 10 suit should definitely be in the reptilian category. Komodo dragon is my choice, both because the name would be an obvious nod to the medieval theme of the Forever Knights, and because of how absolutely terrifying it would be if his suit had a specialized mouthpiece that let him shoot out streams of corrosive acid as a reference to the komodo dragon's venomous bite.
