Here are some interesting quotes from Race Against Time:
- Ben: “Y-you died. I saw you burn up.”
- Eon: “In the world where I came from, my people have the ability to manipulate time at its base level [Wonder what “base level” is suppose to mean]. By distorting the molecules around my form [Matter manip?], it was a simple matter to create the illusion that I wanted you to see. A cheap parlor trick, really [Two mentions of it being easy], but sufficient to assess your powers.”
- Ben: ”Why don't you go back to your own world, where someone cares what you think?”
- Eon: “Sadly, I can't do that - not without your help. You see, I am a prisoner of time, as is my race [In a later scene Eon basically states that his new body would live forever and lose its aging weakness, so this seems to be further confirmation of that]. But not for long.”
“Have you ever wondered why the Omnitrix only allows you to change for 10 minutes at a time?(…)It’s a failsafe so that the DNA of the alien life-forms trapped within the Omnitrix
don’t overwhelm you when they take you over [Obviously this has been pretty much retconned in-show, however tbh I doubt this was ever how it’s supposed to work as Zs’Skayr was always portrayed as a special case due to his unique biology]... A failsafe that can be easily overridden
if one knows the Omnitrix as intimately as I do […with context from the show this has to be because he had one himself, right? Hell even just in the movie I don’t see how he’d seemingly know so much about the Omnitrix without either hands-on experience or without him already succeeding in his goal].”
“We were a gilded race of warriors. We’d
mastered the elements [What does this mean exactly?]-
Gods [x1] who
grew too strong and destroyed ourselves [This is really interesting to me. Is he saying the aging weakness is caused by too much power? Is he saying that they got so strong that they accidentally screwed up their world? Maybe both?].”
- Eon: “It's my DNA that will be released from the Omnitrix [Remember this for a bit later]. I am the alien life-form that will soon overwhelm you. You are me, Benjamin.”
- Ben: “No, you're lying! [The combination of Ben’s confrontational reaction and Eon using the present tense is really notable here. If not for them then I’d say Eon was just talking about Ben turning into him, however with them added it makes it seem like Ben interpreted Eon as saying they were the same person which would make sense considering Eon used the present tense. Let’s not forget that the letters in their names have always been very similar]”
“You will no longer be a simple, helpless child, but a
god [x2]-
not for mere moments, but for an eternity [As mentioned before, Eon states here that this new body will live forever].”
“Such power…
trapped, held slave by a child [So this and a previous thing I said to keep in mind of both seem to imply that Eon’s DNA was already in the Omnitrix the entire time? No clue how that is supposed to have happened]. No longer. I am free!”
“You could have been a
god [x3]!”
