Ben 10: Omniverse
15 October 2017
Warning: Spoilers
When I first purchased this series on DVD, I didn't have high hopes for it at first. But that's only because at the time, I had virtually no interest in Ben 10 at all. One day after watching a review of the series, I decided to give the show a try, and see if they were worth all the fame they have. But little did I know that when I first hit 'play' on that DVD menu, I had taken my first step into a larger world.

In the first half, I thought that the animation, art style and acting were great. Now let me just say something for a second: Most people dislike Omniverse because of the change in the art style but to me, the new art style is very refreshing and it isn't generic. Seeing all of the action at the start, and a few of the characters, I was stunned. I had never seen such a high quality show to such an before, and much of it really did look stunning. I had wondered how much work it must've taken to put it all together with the top notch animation and textures and stuff.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, we can move on. Personally, I didn't really find that much to complain about. I was able to follow the story just fine, and i thought the characters were really interesting. Flashback scenes didn't bother me at all, I actually love them and i thought young Ben was very likable. He had an interesting character, and I kind of actually felt sorry for him since he lost Feedback. When Rook Blonko first appeared, I feared the worst based on some of the reviews I saw. But in the first minute or so, Rook actually didn't bother me at all. In fact, I thought he was actually a really good character. For example, when he backs up Ben in Mr Baumann's store, he's very well trained and lovable and him not understanding English that well is hilarious. I was laughing out of control.

Now let me explain something else for a moment: Some people may argue that that the comedy in Omniverse doesn't belong in Ben 10. But to debunk that, I'm only going to say this: In the original series, Ben 10, remember the comedy they all had? This exactly what Omniverse needed and in the franchise in general.

Now that that's out of the way, let's move on. In the second half of season 3, the show only got even better. The new villains and characters near the end looked seriously amazing, Malware looked pretty wicked.

After that came the second best fight in the entire series. For one thing, Malware has doubled his size by like 10 times! He's pretty much 10 times bigger than Way Big! And I thought it was nice to see a huge battle like that. Anyway, when the fight starts, three key factors make it a great fight. 1 is the music. No words can describe how well this piece of Gold fits into the fight, and the show in general. The second factor is the movements, or choreography. For the first time, we were introduced to a huge Malware. Overall, just watch the fight on Youtube and you'll see what I mean.

Overall, Omniverse is a great entry in the Ben 10 franchise. It's got great animation, lovable characters, a great story line, very good art style and doesn't deserve all of the hate that it has. I highly recommend watching this any day.

I'd give this a 15 if I could.
