Okay so here's my long-awaited counter response.
>The time travel came as an extension of Breach's powers. Sure but none of the characters in Ben 10 ever put a limit on the amount of dimensions that there are, we already know that there are at least a 100 due to Azmuth's statement of Dagon conquering 100 dimensions which btw was made centuries before Ben was even born and as we all know, the timestream branching only began when Ben first got the Omnitrix since that is where Paradox travels to when rebooting the timestream. Proving that for once and for all, timelines and dimensions are NOT the same thing in Ben 10.
This point was referencing Generator Rex, not Ben 10. But i'll respond anyway. Unless you are sitting here and wanting me to accept some vague intepretion of this meaning higher-d dimensions all because of the words "dimension", that definitely isn't going to fly. For all we know, the dimensions Daigon attempted to conquer were just alternate dimensions that existed prior to the multiverse's number expanding (which btw, we're assuming that timelines started expanding the moment Ben got the omnitrix for what reason again?)
>Infinite dimensions is blatantly stated, you were just acting as if it meant Ad-infinitum with that interpretation having 0 proof to back it up.
No, thats one interpretation out of multiple reasons on why I disagree with it. The main crux is that statement is being made by someone who was not only initally denying anything to do with alternate worlds, but someone whos used math and last minute theorizing to suddenly come to such a large conclusion. While on the other hand, the average scientist or whatnot in Ben 10 already has that and much more, who are jokes compared to Professor Paradox and he doesn't side with that interpretation at all.
It should be pretty clear on why siding with Holiday's statement being 2-A is just, no offense, desperation for an upgrade. Any other verse would never be given an upgrade this humongous for evidence so very little in scope as this.
>The statement from Holiday does not solely have to be about universes, we just know due to Rex's universe, Ben's universe and Dagon's universe all being parallel dimensions that a certain percentage of the dimensions Holiday mentions are universe-sized which still results in infinite universe-sized dimensions.
Yeah no. If she isn't solely speaking about universes, what else would she be talking about that Ben 10 wouldnt already have for their Multiversal cosmology? The only thing differing from parallel worlds would be higher d realities, which is even more reason on why this upgrade is unfounded based off of Holiday.
>Well this is them also judging their own verses' cosmology, they just didn't deal with alternate timelines but deal with this instead.
Yes I know, which is part of why im against Generator Rex being allowed to judge Ben 10's Cosmology size when, outside of this crossover episode, they never remotely tackle into such a thing for their own verse. The highest thing they deal with is strictly in the matters of the scope of their own universe and nothing outside it.
>With same range I mean that if Caesar is top-extraordinary genius then Holiday would be low or mid-extraordinary genius, she also has the feats to back it up.
Yes, but again, that only goes as far as Caesar being impressed by Holiday's intelligence, not that she has comparable intelligence to him. There's a difference.
>My point was that it wouldn't be hard for Doc Holiday to figure it out due to the high-technological nature of the verse.
Of course, im not even denying the possibility existing. But we don't rate such things here based of possibilities. Without clear explicit evidence, something like this rises into a whole area of speculation that is too vague to accept. Remember, extraordinary claims requires extraordinary evidence the higher you climb a tier.
And again, the acknowledgement of parallel world theories and parallel worlds as a whole are extremely scarce in Generator Rex in general. To the point where without that crossover with Ben 10, it wouldn't exist in Generator Rex at all.
>That's not last-minute, having half a day is a dream in Gen Rex. She made a cure that Rex needed right away for a certain type toxin just by being given a blood sample digitally.
Okay? Thats cool and dandy, but making a cure for some poison and literally possessing knowledge on the existence of whole entire different universes outside of your own is such a massive difference in knowledge that its incomprehensible. Thats like saying someone using technology to cure an unknown illness can suddenly rise to speak about interstellar matters regarding our universe.
When speaking about something as vast as the subject of alternate realities, you must have incredibly big knowledge to be a credible source to speak upon it.
>She made one statement at the beginning about parallel worlds being a theory and said theory being shaky and that's it, that's not being in denial of concepts. That's her not trusting Ben's explanation since he is just a rando who got her love-interest injured and seems like he uses alternate universes as an excuse to get free.
Maybe being "ignorant" was the wrong choice of words here. The point here is that for most of this crossover, Holiday was denying the idea that parallel worlds exist and didn't believe in the idea that they do. Now nearing the end of the crossover, she suddenly plays around with equations and jumps to the conclusion that not only do they do exist, but theres an infinite amount of them???
>I would also agree with you that Holiday's statement is not enough evidence if we didn't already see parallel universes in Ben 10 and thus we went from one-space time continuum to infinite, but that is not the case and Holiday only gives a "number" to something that is already established.
But its not already established in Ben 10. Holiday's statement is whats supposed to jump Ben 10 up to an infinite multiverse in the first place. Whats already established is that Ben 10 has a vast expanding Multiverse, not an already infinite one. And Ben 10 being a multiverse before this crossover happened doesnt make her anymore right.
>There is no mention of Complex Multiversal in the answer so the writer chose to ignore it so why should it matter here? The writer gave a serious answer to question 1 and 2 and ignored 3.
Well first off, he obviously wouldnt mention "Complex Multiversal" literally in his answer as that term because Vs Debating terms are next to entirely non-existent to authors. Second, his answer involves the Multiverse because the fan was asking if Celestialsapiens were considered Multiversal aliens to begin with, which already suggests the answer isn't serious. Why do we need to sit here and selectively pick what part of the answer we think is serious, and what isnt serious, just so an upgrade is pushed? Thats not explicit, thats cherry picking what we want.
We also see that Derrick never responded to anything else that fan was asking of him either, which suggests more that Derrick threw him a bone so he could get him to shut up. Just like many authors do with annoying fan-related questions. This is precisely why Matthew explained in Cal's thread that authors who give detailed explantions to people who have the jobs in asking questions like that should be the only author answers accepted as evidence here.
Not to mention, Derrick starts his response with "I dont believe the entire Multiverse is rebooted". Why would an author to their own series use guesswork?
