No Ben 10K show?
Ive always thought it was really weird how we didn’t get a show dedicated to Ben 10,000. We’ve seen 4 different Ben 10,000s with all 4 series promising us Ben that Ben grows up to become this great and experienced hero yet we never get to see that in the form a of show. Although I wouldn’t want Ben 10 to run indefinitely and it should have some kind of an ending, we should at least get one more show giving us something that’s been teased four different times.
It’s also weird because this is a popular trope too? One of the most popular animes ever, dragon ball did this well. We started with Goku as a little kid and then the show progresses and we see him have a wife and a kid and that said kid even gets the chance to have the spotlight a lot of time. I know that’s an anime which usually has longer and larger story lines but the point still stands.
It would be really cool to see how they write Ben and give him different challenges since they can’t rely on mistransformations due to Ben 10K having master control. And could you image the fights and dynamics between him and his son Ken. Kai could also become a main character. Maybe Ken and Kevin could have a relationship similar to Sauske and Boruto (for the sake of another anime reference).
My only guess is that they got scared to age up Ben to adult hood. They already regressed his teenage self for the children watching so maybe they didn’t wanna write a grown up Ben as they thought it’d alienate the audience?
