This, in turn, allows the show to deal with much darker, richer content than its predecessor. The missions the so called 'Alien Force' must face endanger their lives and their city far more often than the ones they saw while vacationing with their grandpa, placing a more direct responsibility on their shoulders to be heroes. It wasn't just a kid's superhero cartoon with a lesson at the end anymore now it was an involved sci-fi drama that dealt with more mature themes in its conflicts - resulting in much higher stakes for the heroes. Alien Force almost completely changed the genre of the show. They weren't signaling similarities to Teen Titans and Avatar for viewership: They had the storytelling, plots, and character development to back it up. Not only was the animation more involved, fleshed-out, and dark: So were the storylines. The original series may have introduced these well-beloved characters, but Alien Force (along with Ultimate Alien, which was more or less the same series with a different name) made the world what it is after its premiere in 2008, and deserves more props for all the innovation put into it, for at least three major reasons.

Though many remember the original Ben 10 with the most fondness, it's probably Ben 10: Alien Force that deserves the most credit for style, world building, character, and story. The other three, Alien Force, Ultimate Alien, and Omniverse all take place when Ben is 15 or 16. The most recent variation was a total reboot of the original series, (set in a different timeline) in 2016. That's right, in total, there have been five iterations of the show that originally aired simply as Ben 10, a series about a 10-year-old boy who, while on vacation with his uncle and cousin, found an alien watch that gave him the ability to transform into any of 10 aliens, a power he uses to become a sort of superhero. The series was immensely popular, so much so that it was revamped after it ended.four different times. The animated series Ben 10 started running on Cartoon Network way back in 2005, now 15 years ago.
