I mostly see Ruby liking any cartoon associated with Sonic the Hedgehog such as Sonic Underground, X and Boom.

In the 2005 show, he only appeared about 4 times (not counting his dream version) and during these he would be an enemy to the Tennysons but in Alien Force, he mellowed out while only agreeing to work with the Tennysons because he might benefit from them for his own goals which is to become like his father Devin before the Rooters retcon. What made the production crew of AF lead to an idea like that ?

I noticed that ever since the show ended, later iterations of the characters were either mistreated or sidelined in other media including their own comics and here's what I mean.

Cyborg: Portrayed as the guy that always say 'Boo-Yah' in every sentence while also being casted by Khary Payton in any media related to animation and video-games.

Starfire: Takes a lot longer to adapt to Earth's culture than Kara/Supergirl despite being a princess of an advanced kingdom.

1. The Destruction of the Universe: It was clear that OV was trying to bring back the vibe of the 2005 show while dismissing the UAF era such as giving Ben a stupid reason to break up with Julie and regressing Kevin back into a mutant while making the episode Vendetta pointless. The way the Annihilarrgh destroyed the universe and Ben using Alien X to make a near copy of it felt like it was out of spite and one of the changes we saw was Mr Smothies having a different building and logo. This also includes the fact that the episode 'So Long, and Thanks for All the Smoothies!' was aired on the first season of the series which supports my point of the Annihilarrgh being used as a plot device in some way.

2. Villains wanting to use it: Realistically why would the villains want to have it such as Psyphon ? What would be the point of having a device capable of destroying the universe if you have different goals ? I even doubt Vilgax would want it since he's a conqueror and it would go against his motives. The only reason why I see Maltruant being fit use it is because he made a different version of it since his goal was to rule existence itself and the only to do that is go back in time before the creation of the Prime universe.

Here's what the show did.

1. It started the trend of bad rebooted cartoons that followed the same formula as TTG did such as using the:

(i). Less risk = less rewards shows since CN was famous for having episodes that pushed the age rating such as Ben 10 Ultimate Alien with 'To Catch a Falling Star' and Teen Titans with 'Haunted' but nowadays shows don't do that anymore and just play it safe without taking any risks.

(ii). Overuse of Vibrant Colours instead of balancing it with dark colours such as PPG 2016, Transformers R.I.D 15 and Thundercats Roar!. For those wondering why I mentioned R.I.D 15, while it is not a reboot it did follow the same formula as the others shows I already mentioned and it was because it was aired on Cartoon Network.

2. Indirectly cancelled other shows made by the channel just to keep running such OK KO and Apple & Onion.

3. Made it the number 1. priority of both Cartoon Network and WB Animations to keep it running while cancelling better DC shows that either ended on a bad cliffhanger such as Batman Beyond or just have a really bad ending like DC Super Hero Girls (2019).

Ask me any question once you are done reading my work.
