Nah the people in the ep ben vs the universe were nasty and dumb.
Like bro it’s your universe he saved all of you why are you voting against ben , i feel alot of them either hates ben because of jealousy or because hes a human , hating for the sake of hating
Great ep for more celestial sapient lore .
They are funny af for bringing a 16 years old to a universial court and charging 6 bucks for recreating the universe , also they looked so clean with their cloths on ( ignore ben’s chopped celestial look )
Yeah, I did Not like that legal proceeding. Actively want to rewrite once I get there
Like, okay, it’s the majority vote of all intelligent life in the universe on if he’s guilty or not— but why couldn’t that have been one part?
Like, the legal proceedings represent the voices of reason (the lawyers on defense) talking and hashing things out, the universe taking things into consideration for the vote (voice of compassion) with the whole thing being a “love of your fellow X” thing, and then the Celestial Sapiens themselves taking their own vote as a council for the Voice of Agression since they are mainly the prosecuting side? It could be like the function of Alien X themselves and in need of a unanimous decision in line with the Motion that is put forth by the Celestial Sapiens to punish someone.
It could have easily been a fucked up thing where the universe and all its inhabitants did vote in favor of Ben because, as is so blatantly and stupidly obvious, he has saved them all time and time again and the whole thing he’s getting put on trial for is literally saving everyone. It could be as simple as the Celestial Sapiens not being moved enough and their vote being majority negative against Ben because, good intentions or not, he broke the law and ig they don’t have a Good Samaritan law.
You could so easily make something thematic and meaningful out of their law system and show that the universe majority sides with Ben and give him and the audience a brief moment of joy like “He won! Ben won the case!” before pulling out the Celestial Sapiens vote that dooms him because the whole “Voice of Reason, Aggression and Compassion” system wasn’t unanimous as it is supposed to be. Same frustrations as the Alien X transformation applied to the legal proceedings dooming Ben, Serena and Bellicus so Ben could make the very valid point of “Hey, this checks and balances system is literally going to get all three of us killed because we did a good thing literally everyone affected decided, by majority, was a good thing. How about we just trust the Voice of Reason (cough cough) me (cough cough) with full control over Alien X to save us the trouble and you two argue in peace?”
Cue Ben kicking the Celestial Warrior’s ass in a Tetramand trial by combat and functionally proving that shitty system wrong while gaining control of his own with Alien X.
I think that’s be better implication-wise and story-wise than just, the whole fucking universe turning in its savior.
