Obsessed with video games, cartoons, action adventure movies, and Sci-fi fantasy. I'm super passionate about everything so please don't pick a fight or we'll be here all day.
Hey, guys. I know it's been a while and half of you are bots but could you please mosey on over o Instagram for a second and vote for Ben 10 on Cartoon Network's cartoon showdown? Thaaanks!
Reminder that Netflix is dumb and that if you're hoping to "wait for Sonic Prime to be completely out" since they only released the first 8 episodes (or you're just not a fan of binge-watching): it makes it LESS likely for the series to be renewed for another season if you put off watching it
Obviously not everyone will be able to catch it on the first day out and might be trying to avoid spoilers, but that's just the way it is
I know talking to Albedo simps is like talking to a brick wall but you guys just have such massive tunnel visions.
Albedo was explicitly told that having two Omnitrixes in the same universe will cause catastrophic events to happen (Like possibly blowing up the universe) but did he listen? No. He thought he deserved the Omnitrix despite being denied by the smartest being in five galaxies. So he made his own and ended up being trapped in a body that was not his own by his OWN FAULT.
So what does Albedo do now that he's royally messed up and lost his form, does he go back to his mentor to admit that he was wrong? Ask for help? No. He goes to Earth and starts to beat the crap out of anyone he can find demanding to find Ben Tennyson. And when he finds Ben Tennyson, instead of calmly and rationally explaining the situation and asking for help-Albedo demands that Ben hands over the Omnitrix and attacks Ben and his friends when they are rightly suspicious.
Fights happen, stakes are escalated, Ben and Albedo's watches are locked together and the feedback could cause massive damage. Azmuth shows up and calls the whole thing off. He takes away the fake Omnitrix and leaves Albedo in his current form. He's letting Albedo suffer the consequences of Alebedo's own actions because Albedo endangered the whole universe due to his own pride and ego. Do you know what that's called? Gross negligence.
Perhaps it's a bit harsh? Probably, except it's never stated how long Albedo's sentence is. For all we know, if he had good behavior, Albedo could have been changed back at let free after a year or two. A mere blip in the timespan of the Galvan. Except it's not even a few months before Albedo breaks out of jail, steals another potentially universe-ending device, and teams up with freaking Vilgax.
Albedo claims to be smart, yet he does not consider the potential consequences of teaming up with one of the most notorious war criminals in the galaxy? Once again his ego and pride are leading to gross negligence once again.
The whole "Ben 10 LIVE" affair was Hugh's fault. He lied and manipulated the team who were willing to leave Albedo alone. Anyone who blames Ben for it is crazy (Albedo included.). The dream parasite thing was Albedo's own fault. (Dude couldn't even take the time to look for obstacles when invading his nemesis' home)
By Omniverse he's gone completely off the deep end. He kidnaps people, tries to turn them into vegetables, and traps people inside hellmazes of death. And this is after he gains his old form back!
And bear in mind, all these events barely take place within a year. Ben is 15 when he meets Albedo and is 16 when he last sees Albedo. Motivation or not, Albedo is still guilty of massive crimes of reckless endangerment and gross negligence.
Is Albedo completely evil and beyond redemption? No.
Is he an innocent baby who's never at fault? Hell no.
Albedo really got treated pretty badly. Like sure he's a dick, and tech thefts a terrible thing, but being trapped in A DIFFERENT SPECIES body is some real horror shit.
Homie stole tech fuck up for turned into a human permanently then gets treated like hes a crazy evil irredeemable man everytime he tries to turn back. Like is he a good guy? No. Is he evil? Also no.
His motive is "stop being a species I'm not" for most of his appearances I don't know why someone doesn't just cure him. It can't be that hard.
