Ben 10 Omniverse isn't a terrible show, but it often misses its mark for the sake of comedy. And it's not even good comedy either; it's the same old "Lol. Ben's so lazy, ignorant, and irresponsible. It's a wonder how he keeps the Omnitrix at all! LMFAO" And it's like, okay, we get it. Everyone thinks Ben is a moron, but if Ben's a moron, what does that make the people who lose to him? 🤨

One of the times Omniverse misses the mark on what could have been a legendary episode akin to Adventures Time's "The Hall of Egress." It is the episode Universe v. Tennyson.

The episode about Ben going to trial for recreating the universe. Besides seeing Alien X fight, the episode doesn't make any sense. And I entirely blame writers. They did not think of the logistics of how a trial of this sort of magnitude would actually go. I wouldn't be surprised if the trial was just an excuse to see the celestialsapiens in action.

They wanted a reason to explain the different art styles and all the retcons. Which in itself is stupid. As the audience, we know why specific changes are made. They didn't need to hand-feed us retconning; it always happens.

But more to the point, the entire trial is a sham. And it pissed me off to no end!

1. Ben was never subpoenaed. Alien or not, you can't part the sky like the Red Sea and drag someone to court. You have to set an official date and time for trial, allow the defense to acquire a lawyer, and build their defense. This is basic shit, and if your excuse is that it's just a kids cartoon, that doesn't excuse bad writing.

I just can't stand when people brush over essential details.

2. Only in certain circumstances can you forcefully take a person to court. And that is if the suspected criminal is considered a danger to the public or a flight risk. And even then, it's an immediate arrest before going to court for a hearing. Ambush arrests are considered a last resort; considering Ben's positions as a plumber and wielder of the Omnitrix, Ben has little to no criminal record.

3. Due process, refering back to my earlier point, the celestial sapiens would have needed to give notice of charges, and Ben would need to be heard in front of an impartial tribunal. The entire universe is not an impartial jury. There's a reason any Rando can't walk into a courtroom and decide whether a person is guilty. What if several people aren't even aware of the trial? That could skewer the vote in favor of the Plaintiff (Celestialsapiens)

If the writers on Omniverse weren't so focused on having a hate boner for the main character, this could have been a great episode. And it is a hate boner because why else would they pick Mr. Baumann as the first witness. This dude had beef with Ben since early childhood before having the Omnitrix. His opinion is beyond biased.

Also, Rook took the first chance to air his petty grievances with Ben in front of the entire universe in a court of law, and that is beyond shitty. Ben being "ignorant of many things" isn't a proven fact; it's a personal opinion. Also, being ignorant is a crime?

And had Ben been sentenced to death or died in the trial by combat, what was the plan afterward? Rook carries Ben's body to his mother and says,

"Sorry, Ms. Tennyson, your minor child didn't have the mental knowledge and fortitude of a 50-year-old veteran; his death was totally justified. "

If Ben is ignorant of many things, it is because he is young and has only just started exploring the universe. Many toddlers should be behind bars if simply being uninformed is a crime. It's like the show constantly forgets that Ben is still young but insists on punishing him for it.

The court case is to decide whether Ben recreated the universe; his lack of knowledge and irresponsibility are not up for debate. Besides, Rook has only known Ben for a few months; I doubt that makes him a sound judge of character.

I wish they had brought different people to the witness stand. They could have made excellent callbacks by bringing characters like

Tetrax- He is literally the guardian of Omnitrix and decided that even at age 10, the Omnitrix was safe in Ben's hands. Also, the fact that Ben restores the planet Petropia can be used to defend Ben's recreation of the universe. 

Reinrassig III- I'm sure the word of Highbreed Supreme would hold more weight in court than Mr. Bauman. A small store owner on a tiny planet in the far corner of the galaxy. 

Queen Cicely of the Lewodan( ep. Con of Rath) - The mother of the Tiffin, you know, the baby Ben jumped down a man's throat to save. Ben broke the law by doing that but still prevented a massive war. 

Magister Hulka- (ep. Basic Training) Hulka is a well-decorated Plumber and was Ben's academy instructor. Ben passed with flying colors despite disobeying orders, saving Hulka's life. He even gave Ben his medal for creativity and effective tactics. His word holds more weight than Rook Blonko's, a literally rookie in the plumber association.

Azmuth- do I even need to say anything?

Maxx and Xylene are more than familiar with the Omnitrix and Ben himself. 

Paradox is literally the number one expert on the subject.

Could you imagine the cross-examination with these characters? 

And even without proper character witnesses, Ben could argue that what is illegal is not always morally right.

What is the actual crime, the crime of caring too much? And if his crime is recreating the universe without prior permission. The celestialspaiens were a hidden society; how would he have gotten permission?  

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

If Ben was the only living thing left after the universe was destroyed, did he really break the law since no one was there to uphold it?

Especially since he created the universe up until the very moment it was destroyed, so no time would have passed at all.  

Ben's other option was leaving that universe for dead, and pulling a Rick and Morty, but he didn't do that cause he's not a sociopath. 

The only angle that makes sense for this trial to happen is if it wasn't to prosecute Ben, but to send a message. The message that Celestialsapiens are not to be trifled with and that any attempts will be met with extreme prejudice and even death by combat.

The Celestialsapiens have recreated the universe multiple times, with even more drastic changes than just a smoothie flavor. I mean, Grandpa Max can't even open his eyes, and Azmuth's voice has changed several times. They literally point that out in the episode, and yet this is the first time a trial has ever been broadcasted to the universe.

In fact, this is the first time any other aliens have seen a celestialsapien save for Alien X. And even he was deemed a myth. So why now? Why the grand fan fair? Why broadcast the trial at all? They never notified the universe before.

 It's because the celestial aliens were afraid for the first time since their conception. Their entire beings were briefly erased from existence and recreated, and they did not like it! Do you honestly believe that they changed anything about themselves after recreating the universe multiple times? Of course not!  

But Ben doing that sent the species into a mental spiral of worry and anguish with the fear of not being completely yourself. The same curse they've placed upon the universe prior without any hint of guilt.

The trial was about establishing dominance to keep Ben from recreating the universe regardless of his reasoning. But also to prevent other aliens from attempting the same thing. That's why the trial was broadcasted through the galaxy. This was just a bunch of dick-swinging, so the celestialsapiens don't have to face any sort of actual accountability.

I was scrolling through some Ben 10 Posts, and I'm generally curious about something. Why do people keep saying Ben 10's love life is a train reck. Is this just a fanon thing. I don't get it. Ben's official girlfriends have only been Julie and Ester.

But I keep seeing post of Ben being this playboy womenizer? Wha?

Kai was a crush from when he was 10.

He only flirted with Attea once. And that was a life or death situation.

And the engagement with Luma was stritcly Kevins fault.

He's only had 2 relationship, and for a 16/17 year old boy thats pretty light.

The jennifer Nocturne thing barely counts, that was more media frenzy, publicty stunts. He was very much still with Julie during that whole situation.

But yeah can someone explain please.

Lets be clear Mindy Kaling didn't want to make a Scooby Doo series. She wanted to make an animated series about her highschool years. But the execs weren't having that, because who the fuck wants to watch another series of Mindy Khaling being insecure, and obessing over white men.

No one, that's who! So Scooby Doo was offered up as a sacrificial lamb to draw in viewers. How dumb does she think young people are? Random gore, sex scenes and the occasional fuck does not make something mature. And then she has the gall to be mad at viewers for calling her out on her shit? You can't piss on me and and tell me its raining. This show is gonna join the hall of shitty Adult cartoons. Right up their with Chicago Party Aunt, High Guardian Spice, Mr pickles, Magical Girl Friendship Squad, Mama made me sheriff and the like.

Rottmnt Yokai AU.

Mikey and Leo attended "Hidden City Elementary." I like to think that the hidden city is a mix of Japanese and New York culture, like San Franscoyko in Big Hero Six.

hey so um!!! we should go ham for rise again like yesterday at 6pm est!! i made a quick post about it on twitter here (/here just since i know i sounded a bit unsure about 6pm est in the first one but after one (1) confirmation from somebody that 6 would be a good time i agreed kfsjfj)!! the schedule idea’s inspired by @/holymangoes on twitter!! im glad they made their thread that they did that really motivated us to make some noise for rise, we got to get the saverottmnt and riseofthetmnt tags trending on twitter on there because of it!! it was really good and it only made my hopes to help this show skyrocket, especially after today!! y’all, we can do this!! i really believe in us!! also i would very much appreciate if y’all could spread the word too please 🥺👀 i’ve been fighting on twitter today, but don’t be discouraged to fight too if you don’t have twitter, theres all the other social media platforms and more!! try their email or numbers, and i believe there’s even addresses you can mail a letter to!! you can do it!

so, just a TL;DR,

We fight again at 6pm est, don’t forget to tag nickelodeon accounts, tag netflix too, make emails, make rise requests for netflix, do all that you can to fight back, starting at that time. we can have another powerful wave if we fight at the same time so we can trend again, doesn’t matter if you sound like a broken record or not. also, don’t forget to be respectful. please spread this info around!

Hey Rise family, you know what to do here.

https://help.netflix.com/en/titlerequest

Only put Rise as the FIRST option and maybe another show so we don’t look like bots. Let’s keep going, guys!

[un-bearablysweet]

Today is truly a sad day, because @Nickelodeon wants to do the Rise!tmnt fans dirty, but I refuse to let this be the end of the show. I am honestly praying that the Movie on netflix will lead to a wider fanbase and give us a season 3 and more, never give up hope.

[un-bearablysweet]

Heck, I'ma just say it here:

If you haven't yet tried Rise, please do so! It's an excellent show that I believe really carries the core of the TMNT franchise. It's silly and gives us unproblematic teen boys who slowly learn and grow into their role as heroes, as well as fantastic and well-written female characters like April and the Foot's Recruit who can hold their own in a fight.

The animation is gorgeous and gives off the same vibe as Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse, but 2D instead of 3D.

The writing is amazing since the writers know how to mix a fresh take on a classic story, with funny moments as well as heartfelt family moments.

The characters all have a new refreshing take on them, and we really get to see new types of dynamics amongst old characters we know and love. The boys are all intense and vocal about their love for each other, and April is treated as one of the family. It's very sweet and heartwarming.

I get that it might not be your cup of tea, and that's ok, but please give it a chance.

Previous Turtles: barely own a suit or a trench coat.

Rise!Turtles: pulling up to fight the shredder

The only thing the new episodes of have taught me is that the Rise!turtles are the most boujee out of all the previous generations. These boys own casual wear, sports gear, formal wear, and even a winter selection🤣

Boujee: luxurious in lifestyle yet humble in character.

Just some Angel Dust dressed as Marilyn Monroe, and I honestly I just wished more people would have Angel Dust in Drag.

does anyone else feel extremely mediocre and talentless it’s like you’re okay at some stuff but not good enough to ever truly succeed or make it into a career, not naturally gifted at anything nor motivated enough, and will never be recognised or special or exceptional in any way to anyone

[un-bearablysweet]

I LOVE your ROTTMNT High School AU! I especially love how you write the boys as black AND Asian. Raph’s Japanese middle name makes so much sense for Splinter’s son. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

I thought so too! I really wanted to make sure their middle names speak to each of them. And we gotta show more love for the blasians out there😄
