saw someone saying that uaf isnt so deep like "we think it is" and used the catching a falling star episode as an example.........
i get where they coming from and i agree (for a lot of reasons that im not willing to dive rn) but its not like uaf fans are crazy for seeing this particular series as the darkest one
ben 10 in 2005 was like: aliens go brrr, wacht not working, swapping bodies trope... kids sterotypes, cake (big ass cake) and they even got trapped in some sort of toys factory that santa claus himself commanded
but ben 10 in 2010 had:
murder (pierce, doctor pervs, some guy that carl shot for no reason, the trio being sacrificed for charmcaster father's soul, kwarrel, knights...)
aliens being hunted, trapped, manipuled and killed (aggregor arc and the purge episode)
slave labor due to the drug trafficking scheme that a penitentiary director coordinated in the null void... the same dude also coldly murdered kwarrel.
