Line 6:
* [[Character Rerailment]]: Vilgax's characterization and voice (though the voice was still done by [[John Dimaggio]]) were a bit closer to how he was originally portrayed in [[Ben 10 (Animation)|the first series]] in the video game ''Vilgax Attacks!''.
* [[Copy Cat Sue]]: Albedo is a possible [[Parodied Trope|parody]]. He got a second Omnitrix, helped created original, comes back with even more powerful version of it and he got an [[Palette Swap|incredibly simple design]].
* [[Contested Sequel]]: Quite a few people treat ''Alien Force'' as this and thus [[Fanon Discontinuity]], mostly because of stuff like [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|making Gwen's magic powers into alien energy manipulation]] and [[Retcon|that a lot of things in]] ''[[Retcon|Alien Force]]'' [[Retcon|don't match up and even ignores stuff established in]] [[Ben 10 (Animation)|the original series]]. Still, some fans ''did'' appreciate this sequel, as noted in [[Broken Base]] above.
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Rath {{spoiler|diving into the giant [[Teen Titans (Animation)|Trigonesque]] alien to rescue the Tiffin and escaping by punching the guys teeth out from the inside and threatening to "knit [his] organs into a sweater" if he tries to retaliate.}}
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Albedo, though easily explanable due to his [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]] status.
Line 35:
** Vilgax is especially known to have suffered this in this show: he got a new, physically much less impressive design, defeated several times by Ben with relative ease occasionnally (despite the fact Ben could hardly handle him in the original show). He also relied on law during his first appearance, which was seen by fans as [[Out of Character]] considering his sadistic, genocidal personnality from the original show (though it was strongly implied he did it only to use the law to his advantage; in his later appearances, he has no problem screwing the rules). Similarly, him being double-crossed and kicked of his own planet by Ghostfreak, as well as [[Pet the Dog|saving a little alien girl from his empire]], was perceived as such as well. The worst however was in ''Secret of Chromastone'', where he ended up catching a cold at the end of the episode (Especially sad considering he was portrayed as actually evil and dangerous before this silly ending). All of this was partially corrected in the finale, and thanksfully again in [[Ben 10 Ultimate Alien]].
** After being a big threat in her debut episode due to powerful magic and cleverness, Charmcaster returns in an alternate timeline in "Time Heals", constantly boasting about how she killed that timeline's Gwen...only to get [[The Worf Effect|kicked around by present-Gwen on multiple occasions.]] It leaves one with the impression she only managed to kill her timeline's Gwen because she got lucky.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: The reaction of several fans about the show.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Ben (in the first two seasons, at least.)
* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]]: Ben in season 3, as mentioned above.
