Ben 10: Alien Force

Not that Ben 10 was a bad show, because it isn't, as a matter of fact it is actually pretty decent even if some of the stories and characters were lacking at times. The thing is Ben 10: Alien Force is more mature and somewhat cleverer too.

The animation I think is more detailed this time around. The character designs are eye-popping and pretty unique. The music is also an improvement, it is funkier and more memorable, the theme song in Ben 10 was good but it is the sort of theme song you love or hate, this one was more to my taste. The writing is strong, the story lines are more complex and surprisingly clever and I agree that the characters are much more mature here, especially Ben who is more likable than he was in Ben 10. The villains are also more interesting and the voice acting is very well done and dare I say more consistent.

Overall, an improvement and a solid show overall. 10/10 Bethany Cox

I just recently completed the Ben 10 alien force show and all I can say is that man of action unpredictably put on a splendid performance.

This is because, the only hit man of action made was the original Ben 10 so lot of people including I myself thought a sequel which takes place 5 years later might lack its originality. But it seems I was wrong. This is even better and much more maturity making me feel like I'm the character himself. On top, I also like the new aliens as well.

This is one of my favorite cartoon TV series... why? because my kids enjoy it like nothing else and with them I get glued to the TV too! Haha.. but yeah it's true.

I like the characters - the aliens, the plumbers, the Vilgax and all. Especially Humungousaur, my younger one's favorite! My kids are so addicted that even after watching the episodes, they have to play Ben 10 Games too! Hats off to the creators.

I fell in love with the original one for it's sheer inventiveness and goofy characters. But Alien Force switches that up with even more inventiveness, but with mature characters now. It was a welcome change and did the series much good; it made room for new, somewhat darker ideas. Some episodes were, I felt, particularly ground breaking, such as Professor Paradox and The Vengeance of Vilgax, Part 2. Also, how could I not mention this, Alien X was amazing.

Like I said about the original, it wasn't a masterpiece, but at least it was a very amusing show to watch, but I agree that Ben 10: Alien Force is more mature and clever. Ben and Gwen in the original series were developed seeing how they've treated each other despite them having annoying moments in the episodes. In this series, Ben has now matured dramatically and is now close with Gwen. In the original, Kevin 11 wants revenge on Ben for turning him into a deformed combination of his aliens from the Omnitrix. In this series, he has changed from bad to good and is now helping Ben fight off new evil doers along with old ones. And the part where Ben finally has a girlfriend named Julie was amazing and their romance was developed enough. That's it for the contrast of this show and the previous. The animation is pretty detailed and the character designs were unique with some new talented voice actors to make them likable. The new aliens from the now altered omnitrix (now a watch, which was totally cool) were amazing with their new super powers. The sci-fi action is amazingly intense and the stories for the show are much darker than the original thanks to its clever writing. Ben 10: Alien Force would always be recommended to fans as one of the greatest TV shows ever made.
