Bullet dodged? I imagine it'd be even worse than that live action ATLA movie

I think you mean James Cameron's Avatar movie from 2009. There was never a film adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Was anybody asking for this movie? Sounds like a bullet dodged.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

yes. I just shot a crowd funded Ben 10 fan film. The fans are very passionate.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Nothing of value was lost.

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

So what do you think? Did we dodge a bullet or miss an opportunity?

Ben 10 is like Transformers or Fast & Furious. The characters and story really don’t matter. They just need a plausible set up for insane, cool action setpieces with impressive VFX for the movie to be enjoyable. So I’m disappointed it’s not happening, but tbh I didn’t even know it was possibly happening in the first place.

More like Schrodinger's Ben 10 for me, could have been a good one or a Power Rangers type.

Thank goodness. That sounded like a really crappy idea. Would have wound up a cheap CGI mess,

Am I crazy? Didn't they make this back when the show was popular? I have vivid memories of watching a live-action Ben 10 thing on CartoonNetwork back in the day.

[–] seatwiggy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

Yup. They even gave away Kevin's car

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 3 points 1 month ago

man but I was hoping to get to watch the porn from it. Like the bendover 10 movie or such.

Ben 10 is an American media franchise conceived by Man of Action, produced by Cartoon Network Studios, and owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment. The franchise revolves around a young boy named Ben Tennyson, who discovers the Omnitrix — a high-tech, extraterrestrial device shaped like a wristwatch. This remarkable gadget contains the DNA of various alien species, allowing Ben to transform into them at will. Initially, the Omnitrix features ten alien transformations, but over time, Ben gains the ability to unlock additional species.
