Introduction & Premise
This thread is supposed to deal with establishment of Meta narrative in Ben 10 franchise, as a result giving Plot Manipulation to the Celestialsapiens.Explanation
(Ben 10 Omniverse season 6 episode 8)
- There are multiple retcons in the series, such as changes in the history of certain characters like Kevin. In the UAF series, it was shown that Kevin had a dad who lost his life doing his Plumber job, but in the later series, it was revealed that Kevin's actual father is unknown, and the memory of his father dying was due to him being manipulated by Servantis.
- In the OV series, Ben's artstyle was completely different from the one shown in the UAF series. In this scene from Ben 10 Omniverse season 7 episode 4, Ben remembers his past self as the same as his OV artstyle despite being aware of Chadzmuth statement of Celestialsapiens changing the Universe to the extent of altering voice and appearance and changing the literal plot and history of characters. If this was just regular Reality warping, Ben should've been aware about his art style being changed which would be almost impossible for him to know if the reality warping feat was done on a plot level not only that but also Celestialsapiens changing the universe caused serval plot holes and retcons in the show.
- Here is the list all the retcons in the franchise and Celestialsapiens are the ones to be blamed for such things to make sense in-verse.
Question: Hey in Ben 10 Omniverse it is shown that Celestialsapiens can literally make real changes in the show like the artstyle and voice changes. So does Alien X or Celestialsapiens have plot manipulation and can change the entire plot of Ben 10 franchise?
Joe Kelly's response: I suppose so-which would put me out of job
Furthermore we have Dan Riba's statement in which he says that they used Alien X's Universe recreation as a justification for some retcons which helps giving grounds for Celestialsapiens to act as in-verse authors for rewriting plot of the Ben 10 franchise.
Metafiction is a form of fiction that emphasizes its own narrative structure in a way that inherently reminds the audience that they are reading or viewing a fictional work. Metafiction is self-conscious about language, literary form, and story-telling, and works of metafiction directly or indirectly draw attention to their status as artifacts. Metafiction is frequently used as a form of parody or a tool to undermine literary conventions and explore the relationship between literature and reality, life, and art.
By definition, Metafictional narrative means that the readers are aware of viewing a piece of fiction in such a way that the real life changes made to it are justified as someone doing from that fictional verse itself, in this case the Celestialsapiens exist as in-verse authors of the show.
From the plot manipulation page, this where the abilities of Celestialsapiens seem to fit
- Users may be able transforms objects and individuals by altering their description in the plot.
- Users may be able to retroactively change the past, by changing what is recorded about the past in the plot.
Conclusion
Ultimately, this would establish Meta narrative in the Ben 10 Franchise with the Celestialsapiens being the Inverse authors of Ben 10. Due to which they will get plot manipulation ability.Agree:
