Thoughts on Ben 10

[The Terror of Death]

So this show is a big hit with the kids. It premired on the last week of 05 and quickly gained success. Its currently nearing the end of its third season, it has a fourth season coming along with a series called ben 10: hero generation, (Features an older Ben) a tv movie, and a live action movie. This is all set for 07 mind you. I personally find the show to be simply "watchable". Some of the aliens have cool designs and the action is alright but it feels repitive at times. Basically, an episode involves him facing a villian and learning some lesson. What gets to me is that the charcters might learn something and then they act the same way in another episode.

So what are your thoughts on this show?

I do enjoy the show. I mean, it's no Avatar, but it is one of the better original action shows Cartoon Network has put out in a while and I PRAY they give it a finale and don't unceremoniously cancel it like they have a tendency to do (*cough*Samurai Jack*cough*Megas XLR*cough*).

I think hte concept is really cool and I like most of the aliens. The show has a definate continuity but the presentation is very episodic, making it really is to jump into at practically any point.

The animation provided by Japan's Mook Studios is quite good, too, particularly during the action sequences. The art design has a nice Teen Titans-esque "pseudo anime" vibe only without all the annoying super deformed gimmicks.

I think it's a good show, not a fantastic show, but a good one nevertheless.

So do I, although it's not what it used to be. I like the alien designs, the action's still pretty good, the plot of each episode different, nice alien designs, and the fibs between Ben and Gwen are pretty amusing sometimes.

It's not KND or Billy and Mandy, but it's an enjoyable substiture that is'nt overhyped that much. Kind of like what JCA was, once the toyline bombed, Kids WB left it alone...and it got five seasons

[Dr. Doom]

I personally think it's awful, but I love the theme song.

[LogicDonny]

they show it here in canada. I shoudl give it a try.

[Spike Spiegel]

Never watched myself. The concept looks boring to me and the art style is a knockoff of Teen Titans.

[VaughnMichael]

personally I liked Ben 9 better.

I liked the premise. I was always hopeful that this would keep me from saying Cartoon Network has nothing of interest on anymore outside of AdultSwim. Unfortunately, it doesn't accomplish that. It's just way too episodic for my tastes. Character development never sticks, and they rarely allude to the events of previous episodes. I didn't expect anything more since it is just a kids' show. But, one can always hope. I just can't seem to stay focused on it much. I still watch it, but that's because I lack better options. You know, Ben 10 shares several if not all of the writers of TMNT:>>... Creepy, huh?
