Jaune: You've been gone five years, and the first thing you do is attack a city?! You haven't changed at all!

Cinder: If you think I'm some one-trick pony, then you have a lot to learn about me!

Jaune: Actually, I was going to call you nuttier than a fruitcake. Does that count?

5YL Ep7 Motion Comic:

Some quick thoughts from the episode in which I found tons of affinity on. (Link to watch at the bottom of this thingy).

-

This episode presents a dilemma which I personally have a bit of personal fascination on. If you have a character that is all powerful, should they, or should they not ascend to godhood?

There are 3 characters I love in this world, Flash, Iron-Man (with less direct comparison in this instance), and Ben, all 3 possess the means to shape the world as they like, to exert some kind of weight onto everything else which only they can lift.

Granted Ben, through Alien X far exceeds my other two examples, but the question remains similarly.

If all 3 of these characters are heroes, shouldn't they take the reigns of the world?

Surely their judgment would spare us all, they have their hearts on the right place!

I hadn't typed this out publicly before, but dorky me actually likes to imagine many stories, including ones were my OC has some kind of access to significant power, as a fun wild card in my own stories.

Part of the fun of stories however, are challenges, and in my own, I try to maintain a sense of realism, although in such cases, I do often think to myself...

If I were in that situation, it would be seriously tempting to pull that kind of card, even if for something simple...

"Oh, character is stuck in the past with no way home except a tedious process of gathering all the resources to make a time machine to head back? Why not skip it and pull the Alien X card - or whatever OP thing for whatever example - and literally just go back home?

You were going to do it anyway... In this example the character has the knowledge to fix the problem, they simply made it easy on themselves, the faster they get back home the faster they get back to helping right? They don't have to use Alien X/OP Thing to solve the problem back home, they simply used him to return.

And as small excuses begin becoming bigger, slowly there are less reasons not to use him for everything."

I like Ben calling out "Life" as a good reason not to go through with using Alien X. That level of responsibility exceeds anything anyone should ever carry, as humans I mean. Not to mention the complete loss of reality to everyone else, would things even be "happening" at that point?

Kuro once said that he likes Ben not using him even without any deadlocks as it shows a massive sign of mental fortitude, every time he uses another transformation, he is choosing to be better.

And as contextualized in the comic, as a sign of respect for the symbol of the watch.

One head canon I like to play with is the idea that, "if Ben has full control of Alien X, perhaps as time went on he also acquires all the omnipresence that comes with it, as Belicus and Serena practically aren't involved at all, he could, like Dr. Manhattan, see it all, the whole universe as a static picture, only he doesn't retain the knowledge because it would be too much to handle".

To be honest, I always wondered how other characters would react to Ben having to full control of Alien X, true free control. Previously, they all understood the hassle that would be the arguments needed to make him work, but now?

The Hero of Heroes has always shown excellent judgment, he clearly can be trusted, why not get ahead?

Rook logically supporting the suggestion, or Kevin not understanding why freeing others of pain wouldn't be the instant choice feels right in character for me. And if I were not Ben, but alongside him, I would also feel some degree of pressure to wanting him to spare us all of anything further.

It should be evident by now that I haven't read the rest of the comic, I was actually doing so, and then I kinda dropped it haha, not out of distaste though, far from it hahaha.

I'll definitely get back into reading though, this is absolutely amazing.

MY FAVORITE THINGS OF 2023 🎆

So yeah.

Jujutsu Kaisen S2 is my favorite anime of the year. It gave me SatoSugu; my new fave BL yaoi OTP. Which in turn got my side blog; Queen Endless, going on here and has shown me more of a boom on here than anything before.

The Ahsoka Series gave us our Anakin Ahsoka reunion with ep 4 and 5 and God Ep 5 gave me everything I wanged and more and yeah Ezra, Thrawn, and much more showed up but TCW keeps on coming back to feed me good.

Spider-Man 2 PS5 gave me Bully Lowenthal, live action kid Ben 10 all grown up as Harry, Venom madness, and was an overall rollercoaster.

Dtoons Team Teen Cartoon Heroes Unite gave me Ben, Bloom, and Yugi all in the same episode/screenshot and yeah a congregation of cartoon and anime characters galore. Imma try to draw some inspired fanart for it soon. Hopefully.

Anigomi, making character audio x listerner content on YouTube, covering guys and gals from anime and etc. My favorite VA of theirs is Han who voices Gojo, Hawks, Dazai, Tamaki and probably more. They do commissions, they're EXPENSIVE, but their content is great and they have Patreon for the MATURE stuff so there.

Five Years Later by The Ink Tank, the Ben 10 Danny Phantom crossover webcomic turned motion comic/dub with professional VAs and we're getting the next 3 episodes coming right around the corner and it's ALL SO GOOD!

Scream 6. My favorite horror series. Which makes me sad cause Scream 7 ain't happening cause our two lead girls were fired/quit along with the director of the 6 cause of stupid BS. So reboot? It just won't be the same.

Once Upon A Studio, a homage to the House of Mouse in my opinion. The Disney crossover of all time that was wholesome and funny tied up in a bow.

The Pink Popcast is hilarious. Benji and Rizzo are great commenters/people you can vibe with well. For first time reactions to watching them react to my fave stuff is all around entertaining. Especially when they talk about musicals, Scream and Disney.

That is it. Here's to a new year.

Hey, if Y'all are a fan of Danny Phantom and Ben 10, give this a watch, you may really enjoy it, it's made by the people over at The Ink Tank, you can find them here on Tumblr but you can also find them on YouTube, Twitter and a whole bunch of other places, they even have a website you can check out! It would really mean a lot if you were able to give the episode a watch and show it some love!

[theguythatdraws]

So awesome...

[autumngravity]

Man I wish they would put Generator Rex on HBOMax. I wasn't really interested in it when it was first airing but I'm watching The Ink Tanks review of the Ben 10 crossover and I really want to watch it but you can only buy it on Google Play and Prime.

I know DPxDC is really popular, but hear me out... DPxBen10

[sidecharactersdomatter]

I wonder how the Ink Tank/ Kuro the artist will find out that there are fans who sympathize with Malware

[midnightbasilisk99]

What if Jim Morales had the Omnitrix?

His first 10 would be the following: Brainstorm, Fourarms, Shocksquatch, Rath, Atomix, Dino King (from 5YL), Cannonbolt, Slapback, Kickin Hawk, & Jetray.

His secondary playlist includes: Diamondhead, Waybig, Armodrillo, XLR8, Benwolf, Bullwark from 5YL, Swampfire, Humungousaur, Gutbuster from 5YL, & Callus (also from 5YL)

[anotherwatchedninja]

Imma be honest…

I don’t like 5YL, Eon’s new backstory feels like a summed-up arc, they fucking killed Cooper, and the plot feels like it advances too fast. And the fact the reboot is just an in-universe show, I get people don’t like it but wow.

[elzifelzi]

Not the Ink Tank following me and liking my art🥺🥺

I feel like I've peaked in life.

[radiantresplendence]

This is a lot of fun. I like the way that both Kev and Ben’s redesigns turned out. I unironically love the concept of Gwen’s redesign, but it doesn’t quite nail the preppy energy that I want though.
