Ben 10: Alien Force: Difference between revisions

* [[Badass Normal]]: Grandpa Max

** You could say that about Ben's parents as well.

* [[Bad Future]]: "Time Heals".

* [[Beach Episode]]: ''In Charm's Way'' starts off at the beach, including [[Ms. Fanservice|Gwen in a new black bikini.]]

* [[Blade Brake]]: Kevin does this on a collapsing space station in the episode "Vendetta".

* [[Book Ends]]: In the first episode of the series, the first transformation Ben uses to fight is Swampfire. In the series finale, Ben uses Swampfire's [[Super Mode]] in the last fight of the series.

* [[Bored with Insanity]]: Paradox got bored of [[Go Mad From the Isolation|going mad]] after [[Living Relic|a few thousand years]] of it, so instead he decided to go sane. '''Very, very sane'''.

* [[Born Winner]]: Pretty much the big issue Charmcaster has with Gwen, with the whole "stole my spellbook" thing on the side. Charmcaster had to work and study for her magic, while Gwen was born half Anodite, "made of magic", and thus her learning came easier to her.

* [[Chronically Crashed Car]]: Kevin's car repeatedly gets destroyed in various ways.

* [[Claustrophobia]]: Or as Gwen puts it:

Ben: "Ooookay. I think I'll go first..." }}

* [[Clear My Name]]: Ben and team help a Plumber's kid accused of burning crop circles into local farmlands, and prove he was innocent.

** Also because {{spoiler|the Highbreed race is sterile and swiftly dying out, due to inbreeding meant to preserve their precious blood purity. They want to [[Jerkass|take the rest of the universe down with them]].}}

* [[Filler]] - The entire second half of Season 1 (From Ep 7, "Pier Pressure" onwards). Season 3 is also riddled with this.

* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: Cooper

* [[GASP]]!

* [[Grand Finale]]: Aptly titled ''"The Final Battle"''

* [[Green-Skinned Space Babe]]: Verdona (except purple...and being an energy being, having no actual skin; just a vaguely female-humanoid shape)

* [[He Is Not My Boyfriend]]

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Kevin, who also counts as a [[Heel Face Return]].

** {{spoiler|The Highbreed}}

* [[Here We Go Again]]: {{spoiler|The end of the Season 2 Finale ends with the Omnitrix reset, leaving Ben with 10 completely ''new'' aliens, yet again.}}

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Quite a few actually,

** In the second episode, {{spoiler|the plumber agent saves Kevin's life, but tears his suit - since he doesn't breathe air, he}} dies. This is considered part of the reason Kevin agrees to help Ben for the rest of the series.

* [[Mind Rape]]: Ken Tennyson

** By extension, any human turned into a DNAlien.

* [[Mister Seahorse]]: Ben himself in the form of Big Chill in ''Save the Last Dance''

* [[Monster Is a Mommy]]: Again, Big Chill

* [[Monster of the Week]]

* [[My Little Panzer]]: The robot that can shapeshift, mimic other peoples abilities and combine them? It's a childs toy.

** ...from several physical dimensions over...

** "Rhiney" continues to do this [[Continuity Nod|in future appearances]].

* [[My Name Is Inigo Montoya|My Name Is]] {{spoiler|[[My Name Is Inigo Montoya|Kevin Ethan Levin]]}}, [[You Killed My Father]], [[Prepare to Die]]: {{spoiler|Kevin says [[The Princess Bride (novel)|the whole line]] to Ragnarok. [[Shout-Out|Verbatim]].}}

* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Perhaps in response to complaints about odd characterization, Kevin became this in season 3 - actually killing a villain, war profiteering, etc. He still didn't quite undergo [[Character Rerailment]] until ''Ultimate Alien'', though.

* [[Tomato in the Mirror]]: {{spoiler|Tyler in "Inside Man"}}

** And recently, Julie.

** Before that Ben took a massive level in Badass between the end of the original series and "The Return Of Ben 10" where he stopped acting like a dumb jerk and started thinking through his actions before jumping in, even asking Gwen for advice because he knows she's smarter than him, something the old Ben would ''never'' do.

** Not just the Omnitrix; Ship, a blob-like symbiote spawned from a Galvanic Mechomorph(AKA the species 'Upgrade' was in the original series) , is capable of transforming into any device he's come in contact with, and in season 3, he spontaneously forms [[Powered Armor|a suit of techno-armor]] to protect Julie and fight off a pair of bounty hunters.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: One of the writers said that there was a big story planned for season three that involved Kevin absorbing more energy (presumably to save Gwen) and fighting against the insanity that comes with it but ultimately becoming evil. Cartoon Network approved it at first but then they [[Executive Meddling|chickened out at the last minute]], so the writters had to scrap that story and start a new arc for the season from scratch (The third episode was supposed to be the episode that started it all). This same story was rescued for the first season of Ultimate Alien but with a different approach, {{spoiler|in particular with a happy ending}}.

** In the ''Alien Swarm'' movie, Kevin and Gwen pull up a map on the Plumbers base computer. It zooms in to an area in the upper Midwest, near the Wisconsin-Minnesota area.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Albedo (No, not [[Xenosaga|that other white-haired pretty boy Albedo...]])

* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: Still Charmcaster, who is now [[Evil Is Sexy|even prettier.]]

* [[Who Dares?]]?

* [[Wolverine Claws]]: Omnitrix newcomer Rath, who's basically a tail-less humanoid tiger, has one large black claw jutting out of each fist, which he can extend at will.

* [[The Worf Effect]]: Kevin, Ben on occasion.

* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: Ben in the series finale. {{spoiler|After Vilgax successfully steals and activates the Omnitrix, Ben uses a voice command to set it for a 30 second self-destruct (In the original series, it was charged for several days, which is why the explosion would wipe out the universe; 30 seconds would cause an explosion of a much smaller radius but still be deadly). Vilgax either removes the Omnitrix and allows Ben to reclaim it, or the Omnitrix is destroyed. Vilgax choses the second option and gets his arm blown up. [[Made of Iron|He gets better.]]}}
