Thinking about how different Ben acts in "It's A Mad, Mad Ben World" once he's separated from Rook + his own dimension.

Initially, Ben is relaxed and his normal, joking self. He opens the episode playing video games. He takes the piss out of himself a bit. He's not in a hurry to get to the crime scene, really, or even to give chase — not in so much of a hurry that he can't joke around with Rook and Ben 23 a bit, anyway.

But once in Mad Ben's dimension, Ben's tune changes drastically. He gets much more serious, taking charge not only of Ben 23, but also taking responsibility for the sorry state of this world as a whole.

He's very upfront the whole time about wanting to help people, even if it "blows his cover."

When one of the exhausted slaves is denied water, Ben doesn't let the chains or the lack of Omnitrix stop him from trying to help.

"You'd be surprised what I can do."

"Hey, Rook. In my world, we're partners. You're one of the most decent guys I know. Look around — you're on the wrong side here."

"We're not going anywhere yet. We need to fix the mess Warlord-Me has made of this world. Grandpa Max taught me to always leave a camp site cleaner than you found it."

(Interesting to note here that Ben brings up Grandpa Max's camping lessons from when he was younger, presumably something that Ben 23 has also experienced. He's calling on Max's wisdom for himself, yes, but also for Ben 23's benefit, because Ben is supposed to be teaching him about being a hero, and he takes that job very seriously.)

And then when Ben gets back to the dig site, instead of immediately hunting down his evil-self, the first thing that he does is give water to the dehydrated slaves working away in the desert.

He rallies the ex-slaves to fight, and ends up taking down Mad Ben almost singlehandedly. He leaves these people with some hope, and props Rook up as a leader for them.

After all of that, what's Ben 23's take away?

"I'm only worthy of my hero-watch when I'm making other people's lives better. There's a lot riding on what we do, and we better not blow it."

An admirable lesson/sentiment, to be sure.

But now that Ben is in front of Rook again?

"I was going for 'no chewing on Azmuth,' but this is better. Can I mentor or what?"

Mask back on. Business as usual.

Dont talk to me. I just realised that Sammy actually sees Brooklynn in her home- Like hallucinates her. While the others are just shown recalling events and moments with her. That- okay Sammy.

Farmer Smithson is not really a farmer; He's a therapist. ...Who maybe should be in therapy himself.

Benjamin Walker in "Love is Blind", 2019.

[Two of my faves are in this movie (Aidan Turner and Ben Walker), and it was a peculiar kind of movie. I loved it.]

Edit: I found the movie under the title "Look away". Seems it was officially renamed to Love is blind. You'll have better chances finding it under the official title ;)

I know I’ve been begging for ben to see a therapist for a LONG time but y’all kurt boggs is NOT the fucking therapist you go to fr 😭 I don’t care if he’s the most well-informed on their whole ordeal but it’s not worth it

[whatudottu]

"You said you can read minds, yes?" The question was emphasised by the tilt of a head, neutral expression flat on crystalline face. "You've mentioned it's pretty overwhelming, you can't control what you hear?" "Yes, yes, and no... not really..." Came Ra'ad's reply, his attention diverted to focus on the corner where wall meets ceiling. Reviewing the biopsychology notes Chio had on amperi, a frown shifts his jaw just enough to be noticed. "If it's not too much to ask," Chio shifts, eyes flicking over his own handwriting to focus in Ra'ad's general direction; he's met by a brief flick of eye contact, "Could you tell me what I'm thinking of now?"

Haha magics and mutants au Ra'ad gets diagnosed as a psychic :P let's hope this neurodivergent old man gets the ability to stop having unwanted voices broadcasting in his head :)c

and a coloured Chio my beautiful therapist 😌

Okay seeing as there are only Bens here rn, I wanna ask

Is being scared of clowns a universal thing orrrrr?

Philo: I think clowns are delightful 🥰

Proto-tool: What?! No??? 'Am- Am not! I'm not scared of clowns!

Ben I: yeah totally! Im super scared of clowns! Like prime!

Lost: Compared to the other stuff I’ve seen clowns are nothing compared to it..

Bounty: Am I supposed to be?

1k: Afraid? No. Creeped out? Yes. Biiiig difference.

Pink: I don't think so. I'm fine with clowns, and I even enjoy seeing them!

Therapist: After all of the hours of immersion therapy (forced and otherwise) and talking it over I’m very comfortable saying that I am utterly terrified of clowns in general

(cw// depression, suicide, suicidal ideation)

“you’re afraid you’re unloveable, and you’re too scared to do anything about it” is a goddamn brilliant line because it cuts both ways: you’re too scared to open up and be vulnerable, and you’re too scared to kill yourself.

you’re afraid to live. you’re afraid to die.

welcome to the gravy basket.

My controversial Ben 10 opinion is that the people who idealize AF S1–2 as the perfect characterization of Ben don't want to accept that he's fucking boring.

Not Ben himself, of course. He's still silly and impulsive and a huge dork. But, narratively speaking, what is there to do with him?

Really. Stop and think about it for a second. AF Ben is pretty much perfect. He's mature, he's a good leader, he's an accomplished fighter who thinks outside of the box and has solved a number of conflicts without fighting. He doesn't really have room to grow — he's already damn near reached his full potential.

It's fine when there's a big, overarching plot for him to focus on/overcome, but the series wanted to be a little bit more episodic, and AF Ben just doesn't carry those episodes — not in a fun way, at least. "The Gauntlet" and "Alone Together" are great character-driven episodes, but I wouldn't call them fun.

AF S3, whether you agree with the characterization shift or not, not only makes sense for Ben's character but provides a new avenue down which to explore it.

I mean, what would have happened in S3 E1 if Ben's characterization hadn't changed? He wouldn't have agreed with Kevin on hacking the Omnitrix, for one. Kevin never would have been mutated and we wouldn't have had that trigger to explore Kevin's character and his budding relationship with Gwen — episodes like "In Charm's Way" and "Trade-Off!" (both of which are great for this) wouldn't have happened.

Ben wouldn't have had a problem to overcome, and he would have kicked Vilgax's ass as soundly and easily as he always has before.

Which is good, in-universe, but makes for a pretty uneventful episode when this is a TV show that's supposed to be entertaining.

I literally just don't understand why people have a problem with Ben's character having more layers.

Ben's cocky attitude has always been shown to be a façade. When things get serious, so does he — in "The Final Battle," the Ultimate Kevin arc, the Malware arc... Even when no one is around to impress, like during "The Ultimate Sacrifice" and "Malefactor."

AF 1–2 Ben isn't gone — not even close. He's just hidden under a layer of self-flagellation and false arrogance because, beneath all of it, Ben is and always has been a scared kid who's just doing the best he can to keep everyone safe.
