** Given the type of person Ben was [[ChronicHeroSyndrome established to be]] in the original series, good luck trying to figure out why Ben would willingly take off the Omnitrix and give up his life as a hero. All the episode tells us is that getting it off to begin with was quite a bit of trouble.
** It's also unclear what Max's exact motive was for telling Ben that ''he'' had the Omnitrix, which Ben quickly finds out wasn't true. Ben decides it was Max's way of telling him to put it back on, but since Max's image in the hologram briefly shifts into a [=DNAlien=], it's possible it wasn't even really Max who recorded it.
