Also, and this is more of a broad complaint, it felt like the characters were all sort of... flat in the later series. I understand that they'd change and mature as they grew older, but when Ben said he'd taken off the watch because he just wanted to be normal... just, ugh, did the writers never watch the first show? At all? Half the fun of the series was Ben loving the shit out of changing into freaky alien monsters and wrecking face. He LIVED for it, he'd jump at any excuse to transform.
Mature, sensible teenage Ben is just... kinda boring. I actually liked Omniverse Ben best of the older versions, as he seemed the most like what Ben would have grown up as; a well meaning, genuine hero, who is also an unrepentently cocky little shit.
