10 Interesting Ben 10 Facts 5

Back after a long time of not being back and yey this gets to happen again. Another one where I have to look things up tho. Oh well, at least I get to do it. Yey.
==Unclogging the Character Development==
I recently went back and watched the original series. I noticed several times during season one, Max was shown to obviously know something about the weird alien happenings, eventually shown in the season finale, Secrets. At the time of watching it at first you might not have noticed them, and you might not have noticed it even when rewatching, if you did rewatch them, that is. So I'm going to go ahead and list the times I noted. Let me know if I have left any out.
*In And Then There Were 10, Max points out blatantly that Heatblast is not a monster like Gwen said, but an alien, the first big hint that something was going on. Another hint in this episode is when Max doesn't like the look of the blown up piece of pod that the Omnitrix was transported in.
*In Washington B. C., Max says that the situation with Animo is "Just like the good ole days, back when I was a plumber.", which Gwen then questioned what kind of plumber he was, only to regain is composure and say he was simply a "darn good one."
*In Permanent Retirement, Aunt Vera says for Ben to keep up the good work with the aliens. We think it's a joke but it could be that she actually knew about the Omnitrix the whole time. Yes, this technically isn't Max, but I thought it would be interesting to point out.
*In Hunted, when Gwen said that Kraab kept saying Omnitrix in reference to the watch, Max had a look of surprise on his face.
*In The Alliance, Max became terrified by the fact Ben saw Vilgax and got a message from him.
*In Side Effects, Max references having been to... China I think? I dunno, my disk wouldn't let me finish the second half of season one. Anyways, He mentioned being in another country and learned a remedy there. He tried to cover up the actual plumber occupation by saying there were plumbers in that country as well.
==Clogged up Writing==
Along with my watching of the OS, I rewatched Race Against Time.
I noticed a really really really really bad piece of writing in it.
I realize this movie is disliked by a lot of people but aside from Wildmutt hitting Eon with Gwen and the writing I'm about to say, I thought it was pretty decent.
Anyways, the writing I noticed was just... It made me shudder. Max is explaining to Ben and Gwen how the Plumbers took out Eon, which Ben replies with...
Ben: You fixed this guy's toilet?
Alright hold on. I realize this isn't a canon movie. I realize this is a different Ben. I realize he's so different that he only has the original 10, minus where Ghostfreak is replaced with Cannonbolt. But he is almost the exact same character. Why in the world does it have it be implied that Ben is clueless to who the Plumbers when it's after the fact?
Sorry, bit of a rant, but you get my point. He doesn't remember who the Plumbers are. Possibly a thing in the story itself that was never explained? Or just bad writing on the writer's part? Dun dun dunnnnn.
==Alien X==
Alien X has the power to alter reality, if Ben can get Bellicus and Serena to agree. In Omniverse, he has slight control over him as he only has to do a little bit of arguing just to make the two of them argue while he's in control. However, this would mean that it's possible for Alien X to make it so that Ben has full control over Alien X any time he transforms into him so that he does not have to interact with those two at all. I think Ben is either too stupid to do this, or too smart to do this... Please tell me I didn't just call Ben smart...
