Very much agree Alanomaly.

I also prefer for Ben and Gwen to be at each other's throats as well. There was some great comedic moments and a great rivalry between them but most importantly of all, it makes it all the more satisfying when their relationship towards each other improves. It makes it all the more satisfying when Ben and Gwen finally do manage to get along with each other, care for each other, and work together efficiently as a team.

Gwen being all reckless and careless like that doesn't suit and fit her as a character. Again, she's supposed to help Ben to focus better and be a better hero. To keep Ben's behavior in check and balanced out; not make it worse. It's a very good way of making the main hero characters very much unlikable. Ben would be even worse with his behavior in the reboot than he was in Omniverse and a lot of people really didn't like how Ben was in that show while Gwen would receive much criticism and dislike for making Ben even worse. That's what made Ben and Gwen and their relationship with each other (especially in the OS) at its best. They may get at each other's throats often but they balance each other out very well. They fill in and satisfy what's missing in their lives. They as characters benefit off of each other's characteristics and personalities. Ben and Gwen suit and fit each other very well. Hell, why do you think there's so much fan fiction that focuses on Ben and Gwen being a romantic couple? Having both Ben and Gwen as reckless and careless like what's shown in the reboot is a surefire way to make both of them very much unlikable characters.

This may be a reboot but much like what Alanomaly said, just because they can doesn't mean they should and doing all that stuff that Alanomaly and I mentioned is most certainly something that should not be done in a Ben 10 show. Even if it is a reboot. The direction and choices that were made here is very much poor and unsuitable for this reboot and for a Ben 10 show in general.
