I suppose it's my turn to share my thoughts, yeah?

Ok so, I'm not a HUGE fan of UAF, but I did really love many aspects of it. Some were a little off, and some were so right it left me wanting more, which unfortunately we weren't really given. But anyway, here are my thoughts.

Alien Force

 * Kevin - he wasn't really flshed out as much as I had hoped. I mean, I liked seeing him back and all, and I liked how he was a little bit evil but he also obviously matured and realized his wrongs, but like...we got nothing about him. It feels like he was a new character with the same name and general appearance as Kevin from OS because he was so different and we saw little to nothing about what happened to him. We at least knew that Ben took off the Omnitrix and Gwen did whatever, but Kevin felt too cryptic for no real reason. I suppose Nor Iron Bars A Cage... explains some of it, but I didn't love the impression of him.


 * Ben's Omnitrix removal - why the hell did he do it, exactly? Four series later and we still don't know. Now we have a reboot. Great, one of the greatest Ben 10 mysteries will STILL be a mystery.


 * The overusage of some aliens - it was kinda unfair to the rest of the aliens, such as Brainstorm. I mean, I suppose OS did this too, but not as much as AF did with some of its aliens.


 * The animation was...bland - to say the least, it was very dull and kinda boring to look at every Friday night. Plus, copy pasting alien designs never did sit right with me.


 * Chromastone - now, don't twist this, I really love this alien, but why did they keep making him really weak and/or die? I know this also plays into UA, but AF started this. It was just kinda weird, they made him seem nearly indestructible, but he seems almost too indestructible. I don't know.


 * Awkward tone shift - Ulti pointed this out, but I do agree here. The shift from S2 to S3 was really awkward and weird to see; they tried to make S3 more like OS, but it didn't really work with how the characters evolved since OS and it was just...blagh to me.


 * Everyone is an alien - I don't think much needs to be said here. Too many people were hybrids, too many people were aliens, and that flat out angered me.

Ultimate Alien

 * Filler R Us - literally, half if not 75% of this show was filler. I mean, not all of it was bad, I'm not saying that, but holy shit tone it down plz k thnx.


 * Diagon not being a dragon - I know, he can shapeshift, but like...wouldn't it have been pretty badass seeing him as this menacing dragon? I was expecting it, honestly, until I saw the stupid murals all over the place and further realizing why Vilgax was mistaken as Diagon. Come on.


 * THE SHOW IS CALLED ULTIMATE ALIEN, WHERE ARE THEY!? - they could have done a big arc with the ultimates. Yopo told me his story about it on Facebook once, and it really made sense; they sorta built up to it with Ben's pink eyes, but they never did anything except for The Ultimate Sacrifice, which still lacked some potential. I also wanted more ultimates, and the fact that a couple of them were used like once or twice was total bullshit.


 * The. God. Damn. Opening. - ok, what the actual hell? This opening was a straight up lie. Hear me out, I know that it basically just showcased all of the aliens to please us fans, but you can't tell me you didn't AT LEAST predict that all the aliens would appear or something like that; they never did that, and it was upsetting to me. Instead, they made a couple ripoffs here and there, and it was just...why not? There are a lot of aliens, I realize, but they had enough time to squeeze them in at least once or twice.


 * Vilgax - can someone tell me what the heck happened to him? He turned into a giant squid, ok, and then he returned being mistaken as Diagon, ok, then he turned into a lucubra form of himself and served Vilgax, ok, and then he became Diagon...no. Stop it right now please. I really hated this decision they made, they milked his character. I felt like his story ended in the AF finale, but oh well.

Anyways, those are my thoughts and opinions about UAF. Overall, UAF was actually pretty ok, it just had a few underlying issues that can't be overlooked.
