    THE REVIEW
    I watch each episode with my own commentary, often pausing the scenes to get my words out without having to talk over the episode, and also to point out and analyze the show's art and animation. I have seen each episode already growing up, so these reviews are to compare and contrast the five categories listed below.
    PLOT (Scaled from 1 to 5 Points)
    The foundation of the episode. Uniqueness and overused tropes are taken into account, but it is also judged on how well it tells the story of the episode. An episode can score a 5 even with a basic/ cliche plotline as long as it has good pacing, worthy use of its tropes, and feels well-polished. An episode can lose points due to plotholes, uneven storytelling, and relying too heavily on cliches to do the work for it.
    CHARACTERIZATION (Scaled from 1 to 5 Points)
    How well the characters are written. Do they feel like themselves compared to the grand narrative of the franchise? Are the supporting or one-off characters interesting, or pure plot devices? Did the humor land? Did the actions and character motivations make sense?
    VISUALS (Scaled from 1 to 5 Points)
    Basically, everything that happens on-screen. Character Design. Animation. Backgrounds. Creative mechanics and solutions. If there is CGI or digital effects added, how well do they blend into the show, and were they used as an enhancement, or a crutch?
    IMPORTANCE (Scaled from 1 to 5 Points)
    This includes, but is not strictly based on, how important the episodes are to the current story arc (if there is one) or the general narrative of the Ben 10 Franchise. Points can also be awarded for how impactful the episode was, or how favored/ important it is to the general Ben 10 fanbase. I ask myself, "If I skipped this, would I be missing out on the 'Ben 10 Experience?' "
    ENTERTAINMENT (Scaled from 1 to 5)
    Pretty much the most important part of developing a tv show. You can be perfect in all four of the previous categories, but the episode can still be boring. On the flip side, the episode can be absolute garbage, but still an enjoyable watch. How likely would you be to put this episode on if you were in the mood to watch Ben 10?

    🔥WE DID IT 🔥Watch a FULL 5 MINUTE PREVIEW of the next episode of 5 Years Later early - RIGHT NOW! Thank you for helping us reach our goal. We now have a collective total of over 500 supporters across CZcams and Patreon. The preview is available for all supporters, and you can join now starting at only $1 to be a part of our legacy, and enjoy tons of rewards and behind-the-scenes bonus content.
    Also, I forgot to record this in the video, but a lot of commenters informed me that Ben & Rook’s fake-out death was used to motivate Max’s decision at the end of the episode. I do see those dots connected now, so thank you for pointing that out. However, it still feels oddly incorporated into the episode, and there was enough happening for Max to agree to that choice regardless. Additionally, Max has already seen Ben survive many scenarios where he thought he was dead, such as Voided, War of the Worlds: Part 2, Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 2, and so on. It feels frivolous that he would easily fall for it again after all this time.

      Kickin' Hawk could also work. While he was sampled from Liam, I think the Omnitrix made him the apex of his species by making him look more like a rooster with Liam being more basic chicken looking. I dont know if there's chicken hierarchies, but that's my guess.

    Another reason why the Bullfrag twist works at tricking the audience is that the show hardly ever introduces a new alien off screen and has NEVER not shown Ben as a new alien without the other characters knowing it's him before. There is no precedent for Ben to be a new alien in secret from the audience's perspective so for them to do it, it's completely unexpected! Very well done from the creatives of this episode

      There's Ben's first 10 aliens, cannonbolt, wildvine, Benwolf? (I thought upchuck was the 3rd alien unlocked. You know after unlocking wildvine meeting Max's ex?) anyhow the Halloween trio, upchuck, ditto, eyeguy and waybig.
      Anyhow officially it's the Benwolf, snareoh and Frankenstrike. Then upchuck.

    The reason Bullfrag wears sunglasses was to hide the green eyes all of Ben's aliens have. Another hint that he was Ben in disguise. He still keeps the sunglasses afterwards because they look cool, but the lenses are changed to green.

    I kinda like that the Incurseans aren't defeated but instead remain a looming threat. Makes them feel more dangerous than the usual villains of the week. Plus its understandable that Max would accept Attea's terms: the Plumbers and Ben's team are all either exhausted or too busy sending the Way Bads to the Null Void to fight an entire armada and Max has a responsibility to Earth first and foremost since it's his sector of space to look after. Furthermore, making big moves against the Incurseans is probably something that only the Magistrata can authorise.

      He did spend an extended period of time as him, so there is likely some bleed over.
      iirc, that was the point of the time out in the original series, to prevent the user from having their dna scrambled. One would hope that since the Omniverse Omnitrix is the "perfected" version, that's less of an issue. Maybe some lingering feelings/mannerisms.

    Heres my random headcanon thought: one of the reasons Ben isn't allowed Master Control and the purpose of the timeout function is so that alien DNA doesn't overwhelm Ben's own DNA.
    So, when Ben says, "Don't blame me, it's this DNA," I kinda believe him. Hes been using Incursion DNA for a month, so his body is probably used to Incursion Hormones that are overwriting his own human ones. So, in that moment at least, Ben is probably genuinely attracted to Attta.

Bullfrag was wearing the entire incursean outfit covering any signs of the Omnitrix of Ben's usual alien color scheme and 3. Ben doesn't become species of Aliens he's encountered as antagonists such as the Anur Aliens and Buzzshock often so I never would have thought he would become an incursean.

    Damn it would’ve been cool to see Bullfrag more often over having Humongousaur or Four Arms a dozen times

    The worst part about this episode was the fact that Bullfrag basically almost never used since

      He was used in Mad Ben World Part 1 and Catfight

    My first thought when i saw bulfrag was "is this ben? " but i missed the begining of the episode so that could have an effect

    Howdy, Kuro and Ink Tank! Longtime viewer and subscriber here. I finally decided to join the cause and become a member and a patron, so I hope others will follow suit so we can get to the goal by the end of the month!
    Excellent breakdown as usual, I feel that the Incursean Arc is underrated for what it is.

    Seeing the old Gwen desing in the storyboards, makes me wonder if the original plan was maybe doing something like Adventure Time, where Princess Bubblegum and Marceline change outfits constantly

    27:29 as a kid, that line flew over my head so bad but hearing it again over, the writers was in some 50 shades of grey ahh shit 😅😂

    I've actually put some thought into this one. You call him "Kersmack." Like a combination of Kermit the Frog and smack, like to hit, and it kinda sounds like one of those onomatopoeias in old comics they'd use for someone getting punched or kicked.

    17:44 arjit is here for one reason; that dude has pissed off the most dangerous beings in the galaxy on a regular basis and is somehow still alive. Bros perfect for a resistance XD

    14:07 it looks like Argit is wearing his cloak from that flashback in Many happy Returns
