User blog:ChromastoneandTabby/Why I'm Actually Sorta Excited For The Ben 10 Reboot

Okay, see, first off-



WAITWAITWAIT LET ME EXPLAIN

'*ahem*

So, yeah, if you're a member of this wiki, you've most likely heard of the new Ben 10 reboot coming in fall of 2016. If you know that, you also probably know about the immense backlash it received when it was announced, thanks to the simplistic redesign and the 'more comedic' nature. As a matter of fact, my own initial reaction was along the lines of:



Yeah, I was pretty incensed.

So, in my rage, I decided to go watch a good cartoon, one without 'simplistic designs' or a 'comedic nature', like Adventure Time!

Wait.

Uh...Steven Universe?

Oh crap.

Gravity Falls? Star VS The Forces of Evil? We Bare Bears?!

...

It was at about this time I realized that I was being a bit of an idiot.

To be perfectly honest, a lot of my initial reaction was based on Cartoon Network's own track record with 'comedic simplified reboots', AKA the almost-universally reviled Teen Titans Go!.

But then I remembered something important.

Cartoon Network in and of itself is just a channel. A medium for these shows. The thing we should probably be looking at is the actual crew, which, for the record, is confirmed to have Man of Action returning to work on the show.

Man of Action's track record since the original Ben 10 has grown even better, with hits like Generator Rex and Big Hero 6 under their belts.

Anyways, my point is, we should at least give it a chance.

On the bright side, the new continuity means that it never had Omniverse happen.

That's a good thing.
