Its actually a lot better over the original series in a vast number of ways, yet the small number of ways they botched it are kind of REALLY severe so it sadly doesn't really balance out effectively. The show keeps forgetting to explain things and these changes that don't go unnoticed but always go unexplained.
Check my post in the "TV show watched" thread for how I felt about Kevin 11, I don't have the stomach to bring up that god awful character abomination again. These aliens look cool and they definitely have some interesting powers, but I think they lack the charm and memorable quality the previous aliens had.
Plus, for some freaking stupid reason, Ben automatically shouts the name of the new alien he turns into. He always made up names AFTER he changed into them, now it makes it look more automatic and less plausible. I really hope Alien force is a not CN's way of saying "Ben 10 the first series is over and done with".
Because I honestly cannot see this show becoming a sure fire hit, in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if a few anti-Alien force websites were to sprout up in the near future. Granted its only been the first episode, I have a feeling more fans will be upset with this new series rather than super pleased.
