I'm waiting for ANY of these episodes to start with Ben sitting in a psychiatrist's office explaining that he's a world-famous hero, loved by kids all over and despised by most adults.
Then Ben's told a single sentence that will freak him out to end the teaser: "Everything you experienced Ben, your many adventures with your friends and family, was just a dream."
My semi-conscious hopes thoughts shoved up to the conscious mind aside, I KNEW that was what Ben would have to worry about when a certain Ultimate's eyes were red back in 'Duped!' Then, when Ben said his Ultimates scared him I was reminded of the red eyes.
When Ultimate Humongousaur goes all 300, I thought 'oh, snap!'
Still, I enjoyed how things were flipped around-Gwen going into the Ultimatrix in Anodyte form and Kevin flying to Primus to set things right. Ben sacrificing himself reminded me of another TV series I used to watch years ago back in the late 90s, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys - the 5th season finale involving the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse where the titular character selflessly sacrifices himself to ensure all of humanity isn't killed. (Not surprisingly, like Ben he lives at the end.)
A huge part of me worries that one day, Gwen might actually give up her humanity to save someone she loves: be it Ben, Kevin, Julie, Grandpa Max or her parents. And as far as we know, they aren't able to get it back. (The twist could be that Gwen's only 1/2 Anodyte, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.)
