Hi

A blog entry I finally had to post in reply to Rules of Engagement.

A You Tube twit tried to act all high and mighty by posting (and then trying to hide) a comment.

The thing is he can hide it from the rest of my subscribers but he can't keep it from me.

TheSaveme1: The question of is it fair to blame Omniverse for the break up (Ben and Julie) or not comes down to would Dwayne Mcduffie  had ended the relationship?Personally I don't think he would have.

So I went to the source.

@TheCFullerton A person claims Dwayne would never have broken up Ben and Julie. As head writer I'd like your response. Thanks. #Ben10

DivineROAR As 1 of the head writers but also as Dwayne's WIFE, I don't like it when people claim to speak for my husband about anything

@TheCFullerton My personal thoughts are Ben started this treatment of Julie in UA so blaming OV becomes a convenient excuse

DivineROAR I would agree with that assessment

This blame game is tiring us both out. If you don't like what's going on, don't even read the synopsis of the show. Likely you'll get something wrong since places like Ben 10 Planet are only as accurate as the writer.

Either ignore it or find some better way to handle the situation.

May I recommend this?

What a sweet breath of fresh air to find someone else who learned how to be a fan of the entire show.

My rant is done.

Still love you all.

Divine

Ouch. People have been actually bringing up 'this is what Dwayne Mcduffie would have wanted' stuff? Sheesh. How disrespectful. Sadly, most fandoms are like this: problematic and childish. If you don't like how OV is doing things, then just don't watch OR validly critique it. Don't bring up old wounds like that (UAF has sooooo many episodes anyway to re-watch).

The concept however, of blaming OV as a convenient excuse really does provoke some thought.

OV is like a new boss at a corp. firm. He's gotta clean up all the crud left behind by the old boss, while still trying to change the company for the better (in HIS vision). OV doesn't want to replace the old boss in the eyes of his employees, but the company needs to move forward. A lot of us knew from the beginning that people were going to blame Every. Little. Thing. On OV. We all knew that "nothing" could live up to the old because frankly it's not trying to be the old. It's trying to be new, different, and its own series while still being respectful of the old.

I personally love the break up moment between Ben and Julie. It was the most in-character scene I've ever witnessed of UAF Ben. I even like Herve, to an extent, because his actions of defending Julie in the episode (ie: He kicks Looma demanding her to release Julie, and you often see him trying to cover Julie as to protect her) show why he was chosen over Ben. Sorry for the rant. It just aggravates me when fans of any series can get ignorant and/or disrespectful. Especially so when it involves an actual person like that. Thank you for trying to show the fandom that you CAN be a fan of ALL of Ben 10, and basically posting why saying such things (about Dwayne) is nothing short of petulant cruelty.
