Has anyone seen this new Ben 10 series yet? It's set five years in the future, and the grandpa has disappeared.

I saw bits and pieces of the debut episode. I really didn't care for it all that much. There's something about the original Ben 10 series that is just missing here (and I mean more than just the grandpa!).

My 10-year-old daughter, who liked the original Ben 10, said she didn't like this new series, either. She said that with the original series, she could identify more with the kids (because they were close to her age). Now that they're five years older, she says she can't really relate to them as much anymore. I don't know what my 7-year-old son thinks, because he hasn't said anything.

My kids liked it, but I too thought it was not quite as good.

It's missing quite a bit of the humor that made Ben10 so fun to watch. It's much darker now.

I don't understand why "they" feel cartoons for kids these days must be dark (Batman, Superman, etc) - isn't there enough going on in the real world without turning entertainment into an emotional morass for kids?

I haven't seen the new series and we don't watch a lot of Ben 10, we only seem to watch it when we are watching someone else's kids and their kids want to watch it. When we actually watch it my girls like it, but it's not a show they ask for on their own.

I do agree that a lot of the acrtoons geared towards kids are way to dark! And I am still at a complete loss as to why they do this, myguess they think this is what the kids want or they are actually trying to hook the adults.
