❌ 1/10 – The Worst of the Ben 10 Franchise: A Step Backwards Ben 10: Omniverse is the lowest point of the franchise. After the depth and maturity of Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, this feels like a complete disappointment. The show abandons meaningful storylines and character development in favor of shallow, episodic adventures that are more cartoony than ever. The humor? Blatantly unfunny and forced. Where Ultimate Alien took us on a deep, emotional journey with high stakes, Omniverse feels like it’s trying to be a slapstick, kid-friendly spectacle with no real story arcs or emotional weight. Ben’s character regresses, and the bond between him and his team feels watered down and inconsistent. The art style change is another massive misstep. Gone is the mature, detailed animation of Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, replaced with a cartoonish, flat design that feels out of place. It’s as if the show forgot what made the franchise special in the first place. This is a sequel that doesn’t honor its predecessors—it’s a shell of what Ben 10 could’ve been. If you were hoping for a worthy follow-up to Ultimate Alien, look elsewhere. Omniverse is a step back in every way.
