In reply to the first message, the reason I had for why I hated OV was mostly that they tried to fix things that UAF ruined, but they didn't do it right. They tried to give us the Ben 10K we deserved, but they ruined it with the Biomnitrix - a very cool idea, had it been done properly (mostly just the fact that the fusions looked like something any one of us could have made in MS Paint and that the watch recognized the names of the fusions.) They brought Steve Blum back for Ghostfreak and Vilgax, but somehow forgot that Heatblast needed him too. David Kaye did a nice job, but nothing compares to Steve Blum.

And like what other people said, it was too childish. The series gained a following during the UAF era, and they made us all hate them by ruining the darker tone that UAF put in place with crude jokes and annoying characters.

Certain other things that I didn't like involved Rook. I know I'll get ALL the flack for this, but Rook felt like an unnecessary addition to the group. Having Gwen and KEvin leave made sense to me, but having Ben work on his own would have been a good change, since there had always been a trio.

Khyber, fantastic villain, if he had been written properly. He started out as this really cool hunter guy, but then just forced his dog to fight all his battles for him. He was also supposed to be this incredible hunter who had allegedly killed an Appolplexian. DUDE! That would have been so cool to see Ben fight someone he actually may not have had a chance against. I know that Diagon brought that to UA, but he was handled so easily. At no point during The Ultimate Enemy did I feel like Ben might lose. So, had Khyber been written the way he should have been, it would have brought a dangerous villain to the series that we hadn't gotten since Vilgax in AF. Sorry, I'm rambling, but you asked so, here it is.

And finally, my biggest problem, and probably the silliest and MOST avoidable... The random hiatuses season that lasted around six months each time.It took so long for them to com out with new episodes, that were ultimately dissappointing.

Had Man of Action remained in control, most of these things might not have happened. Omniverse had potential, but it wasted that potential with the things above. There's probably more, but this comment is already long enough.
