Revisited - Ben 10 (2005-2008)

So this for this week, I wanted to throw it way back to something from my childhood and my favorite shows growing up, Ben 10. Of course I'm talking about the OG version and not the newest one as I haven't seen it yet and I'm pretty sure it doesn't compare to the show that started it all. Man, I love this show and just fell in love with it when I watched the first episode. I love how carefree and fun it is and the concept of it is just amazing to me and it helped build a foundation of me wanting to become a writer or rather a creator or world builder.

The series centers around Ben Tennyson (Tara Strong), a ten-year-old boy on a cross-country summer vacation, with his cousin Gwen (Meagan Smith) and their grandfather Max (Paul Eiding). On their first night camping in their grandfather's RV affectionately named the "Rustbucket," Ben finds an alien pod with a mysterious watch-style device named the Omnitrix. The device then permanently attaches itself to his wrist giving him the ability to transform into a variety of alien life-forms each with its own unique skills and powers. With his newfound superpowers Ben has to learn the responsibilities of being a hero. During their vacation, the Tennysons are attacked by various enemies ranging from space aliens to supernatural entities.

Of course, I haven't watched it in awhile but I'm sure it could still hold up to this day. It's a show that every time I hear about it or see it, memories flood in and I just get hit with nostalgia. Not many kid shows do that nowadays and really inspire the viewer with it's creativity or brilliant writing or concept and I believe the mid to late 2000's was the last decade to really have an abundant amount of shows that do that. Nowadays it's much more rare but with streaming services flooding around us, we get to relive those shows that help shape who we are today and I'm 100% for it.
