I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed in a character redesign in my entire life then Myaxx’s changes throughout the Ben 10 franchise

TO BE FAIR they redesigned her entire species from looking like this

…To this

Cartoons never let a female villain just look like a sick ass monster and it’s fucking hackneyed and that last shot of her species looks like Tim Buckley tried to draw Cthulhu over and over except for the one girl one in the crowd who has to have tits and a baby this is like some kinda heinous Seth Mcfarlane George Lucas travesty of anticreativity

Hell, she wasn’t even a villain. Myaxx was notable for being a good person from the same species as the main antagonist.

Let monster girls be monster girls!

Stop changing their designs to make them look more humanoid they are fine how they are O.O

The weird part is they actually have a justification for all the inconsistencies. The all powerful Celestialsapiens are always dicking around with the universe, so you get the occasional retcon. Hell, Ben himself had to remake the universe at one point, so you can blame that last one on him.

Out of universe, the Ben 10 creative team is pretty lazy about their own continuity and it shows.

Wait, did they really come up with an in-universe “A wizard did it” explanation for the changes? O.o

I don’t know if the weirdest part is the terrible design or this explanation. It’s been years since I watched the show but now I’m curious to know how the heck Ben 10 changed the entire universe and why

I need to know more about this O.O

Yup!  In “Universe vs. Tennyson” (Ben 10 Omniverse, ep.58), Ben was put on trial for having used his Alien X [a Celestialsapien] powers to recreate the entire universe (in “So Long and Thanks for All the Smoothies!”, ep.07 of B10:Omniverse), after the Incurseans & the Vreedle Brothers destroyed it with The Anihilaarg.  According to evidence given by Ben’s defense attorney, Celestialsapiens are the reason behind the different art styles and appearances of the franchise, since each one of them has universe-scale reality-altering powers.

So, yeah, A Wizard God-Like Alien Did It.

Also: the aliens shown in this thread are Chimera Sui Generis.  The name comes from “Chimera”, a mythical beast with parts from many different animals, and “Sui Generis”, a Latin term that means “of its own kind/genus” or unique in its characteristics; the species name roughly translates to “Chimera of its own kind”.  Not sure why they weren’t called “Cthulhians” (Uhluhtcians?) or something similar, because come on.

So you’re telling me it’s official canon that a teenage boy (or however old ben is in omniverse) momentarily became god and remade reality and in the process some part of him either subconsciously felt or very deliberately decided this squid woman from another planet really needed tiddys

HAVE SOME PERSPECTIVE!!! LOOK WHAT HE DID TO MR. SMOOTHY!

You guys are acting like Omniverse’s art style wasn’t a step up from the bland mess that was Alien Force and Ultimate Alien. Sure, it wasn’t perfect, but it was visually the most enjoyable of the spin-offs.

EDIT: I just now noticed the OP is bogleech. This explains so much.

I hope I won’t keep seeing his crao on here.

…..Except I’m not the OP, and no matter what your opinion of the art style, you can’t possibly think that later design is cooler, more original or spiritually faithful. Those are hardly “sjw” opinions for anyone to hold.

“Mr. Smoothy” there is still the same exact concept, a goofy cartoon smoothie guy. Changing a previously fearsome, intimidating and very nonhuman alien into just a green woman is as creatively bankrupt as a design change can possibly be.

It’s an extremely noticeable and tiresome design trope that female monsters and aliens frequently look more human than male ones. That’s not a criticism that even comes from the “feminist” place your other posts are complaining about, it’s just bad and generic creature design either way. People have been pointing it out in science fiction for generations.
