Re: UA 1
Oh, the clumsy foreshadowing of Ben's Ultimates "scaring" him. Yeah, they never really did a good job on that. Much as I love Dwayne McDuffie, he wasn't very good at foreshadowing. Ben would say one thing that led the viewers to realize there was something important in the future, then contradict it when the time came to reveal the secret.
Also, I think the reason Ben ate so goddamn much (at least junk food and smoothies) is because the Omnitrix/Ultimatrix makes him burn calories fast. Transformations are too much on him. It's the same thing I theorize behind Haruto and the donuts--they're a quick source of sugar and fat, so Haruto can get a quick boost of energy right now from the sugar while having a slow burn of fat for later. Ben's got that with his smoothies, at least the sugar portion (the junk food probably makes up the fat). And it would explain why the two of them are so skinny.
