>>98278191I was more trying to list the things off the top of my head that sounded like what every lorefag
such as myself would have salivated over by hearing about. Kinda like how /technically/ Legend of Korra was everything that fans of The Last Airbender wanted, but implemented in such a way that didn't make anybody happy, even if individual things on their own were done well, or at least in an acceptable manner.
I actually liked Kevin as part of the group, and did wind up shipping Gwevin, but freely admit that they rushed that whole thing in the beginning. Like you said, he needed to work for his spot on the team, not just jump in head first. He needed at least two-three "Kevin-centered" episodes dealing with the shit that happened in his past and the fact that he tried to fucking kill people when he was a kid.
Serious!Ben was a bit of a change, and one that took me a while to get over, but DESU I actually like that a bit better than the cocky little shit that he was in OS and OV. I know Feedback was something tacked on to OV to sort of "explain" the change in behavior, but it could have worked if we were given more information other than just "Something bad happened and I had to quit using the omnitrix".
What they needed to do with Vilgax was not stuff him into every single season like a fad food. Oh! Lets pair Vilgax with Albedo! Lets pair Vilgax with Diagon! Lets pair Vilgax with - no. Shut up. Stop forcing him into stupid partner ships that we all know he's just going to stab in the back anyway. Let him work as a force of nature and have our imaginations fill in the blanks as to what dastardly deeds he's off committing. Ideally he shouldn't show up in more than one arc per series, or else he needs to be the be all end all baddie of the entire thing.
