lmao get off your high horse. OS had so many problems.

OS might be my favourite series, and I might dislike AF (in comparison to OS and OV), but I have to agree with Yopo here. OS had many problems. As CaT has said before, it is kinda forgettable. The later aliens (Halloween trio and all season 4 aliens) were lucky if they showed up more than once. The finale to OS (Ben 10 vs the Negative 10) had one of the worst deus ex machinas I've ever seen in an episode of Ben 10.

Eye Guy.

Don't get me wrong, I like Eye Guy is OV, but in OS he first shows up IN THE FINALE and even Gwen doesn't recognise him. Part of the OS charm was watching an inexperienced 10 year old boy learn the intricacies of his different alien forms. So what to do for the finale? Give us an alien we've never seen before, that Ben apparently somehow practised with in secret to even his cousin, that we (as an audience) do not now the powers nor limits of and make him fight Ben's old villains. They might as well have given him Alien X for all we knew of Eye Guy's capabilities. It only adds salt to the wound that he actually won that fight, albeit ultimately saving the day using Upchuck.
