After the abomination known as Ben 10: Omniverse made me want to vomit, I went back and rewatched some older Ben 10, realizing how much stronger they were by comparison, all three of them. UA got better towards the end of the series, and I ultimately figured it was a "decent" show. Ben would occasionally display glimpses of maturity/cleverness, and the Aggregor/Ultimate Kevin arc certainly didn't hurt. Like before, Ben's arrogance and cocky attitude annoyed me to no end, though the show got better with time. Which leads us to the third rendition, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien.

I especially hated how they were basically trying to reset the character dynamics to a somewhat intermediate point between Alien Force and the Original series. I just couldn't stand Ben's arrogant attitude, and some of the episodes seemed rather stupid. This changed dramatically with the beginning of the third, unscheduled and unplanned for, season of Alien Force.
