I don't know what happened whoever is writing the current season has no idea what they are doing. Ultimate Alien is ok but the characters and episodic plots are pretty horrible now. I personally feel that they show has been dropping in quality since the first season of Alien Force ending and they tried to change ben's personality.
They should have continued with Ben's years before AF and UA ,but most importantly kept Man of Action in their series. Without them ,the series is just a fail.
This plus he has like 63 aliens now YET ALL WE SEE ARE HUMGOSAUR BIG CHILL AND SPIDERMONKEY EVERY FUCKING EPISODE!!! The writers even said he scans aliens off screen and in between scenes so he has more aliens than we've seen he just hasn't used them yet. That's just lazy writing! If you want to make a new alien premiere it in an episode! Don't just say he has it now and have it pop up at random like he's been doing. I remember one episode he turned into a alien off screen nobodies seen before, didn't even say the name and apparently he's had it for a while just never used it. Plus the ultimate forms were a horrible idea they only made like 6 yet they only use 3
Now I don't want to see the series ever again lol. Sure things can happen between episodes, but to keep the main dynamic of the frickin' series off of screen seems lame. It'd be like Ash catching the entire Pokedex yet we only see 6 of them or Power Rangers getting random powers for no good reason and acting like they have fought forever. While the first series had a problem with this , they have improved this problem with having the characters being martial artists in their own right before.
Ben 10 AF and UA makes as much sense as Z. Now they are not only 25% alien from their grandmother, but the entire world is littered with half-blood aliens and NO ONE HAS CAUGHT ONTO THEM BEING SO? How is Kevin now good , why is he now normal looking again ? Why is Vilgax alive? Why is Grandpa Max not dead? Why doesn't Ben just go on a rampage and kill every single of his foes without mercy? Why don't the villains kill Ben and his friends while they are asleep? Are they somehow sleeping as well or are they frozen in stasis? Why can't Gwen use her magic powers instead of glowy Pink Lantern and why is she even in love with the asshole who tried to kill her cousin on several occasions? And speaking of him, why isn't he driven insane like most of his species and how can he ever be normal? IS it because he's partially human?
And why aren't the half blooded aliens far more involved in the show because isn't that what the series was about at first?
This show is a disgrace to the original and to all Tokusatsu and anime and it shouldn't be this horrible. I hope Man of Action scraps AF and UA and does a better job.
