Interview with Secret Saturdays Creator Jay Stephens 

Thank you for having me back on and allowing me to slowly corrupt the Ink Tank with more Secret Saturdays lore! It’s was amazing getting to ask these questions, and I thank Jay a lot for taking the time to answer them! 🧡 So please go support him if you can.

Shared action universe?? WE WERE ROBBED

Symbiotic Titan in the same universe?! That would’ve actually been sick. The Plumbers could’ve been involved with the war, Ben could’ve helped out with a Kaiju invasion with Way Big during a crossover event, etc.

Anyone else remember the ‘Crypids Are Real’ commercials and site promoting the show before it came out? Got me so hyped

Glad this interview finally happened. I was hoping it would happen. I'm currently watching Secret Saturday now for the first time and it amazing.

As a Sym-Bionic Titan fan, the idea of it meeting Ben 10 or Generator Rex, it's making my brain explode. I'm glad we got to hear this.

First time heard the word cryptid from secret Saturday

13:45 If you were to watch it, which you definitely should, there are a couple of video ideas that can come from it. Like: -What if Ben 10 and Sym-bionic Titan shared the same universe? -Sym-bionic Titan review (or episodic review if you want to stretch it out) -Omnitrix and/or Nemetrix version designs of the aliens in Sym-Bionic Titan

Nice to see moon again, crazy that they got to interview the creator

Damn we were robbed so hard with that shared universe concept....but really awesome hearing this

I miss the Secret Saturdays so much. The Saturday's is just one of my favorite TV families period. I would have loved growing up with Zak and discovering more of their world. I like to think Omniverse Secret Saturdays was canon adjacent to the Secret Saturdays, but the OG Universe still existed as its own thing. It sucks that Secret Saturdays isn't even on Streaming for new fans and kids growing up.

Let's goooooooooooo!

All my childhood shows coexisting in one universe. It's a dream come true. And of course network meddling had to ruin it to focus on terrible live action shows that dictate what the network is supposed to be in the first place. Thanks CN

I love Crystal's Stolas and Blitzø's plushies in background

Yeah, the episodes before End Game for Generator Rex were kind of there to resolve some things and try to do stuff similar to Ben 10 like have their own Negative 10, but the stuff with the Meta-Nanites seemed almost like an afterthought and still ended with some plot threads that went unresolved. That would've been cool for those 4 shows to be in the same universe. Would've been dope if it weren't for Rex and Ben having different toy makers like Mattel and Bandai back then.

Wait, hold on, WE MISSED OUT ON A SYM-BIONIC TITAN TRANSFORMATION!!!!!!??????? I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT WAS POSSIBLE TO BE EVEN MORE DISAPPOINTED IS SYM-BIONIC TITAN'S CANCELLING!!!!!!!!

Would the Nick Fury of the CNU be Professor Paradox or Grandpa Max? Paradox: Mr. Saturday, I’m here to ask you about the Omniverse Initiative.

Shared universe? And with Sym-Bionic Titan? Cool!

I’ve always wanted more crossovers for Ben 10 the Ben 10 multiverse has so much potential and we were definitely robbed of more amazing content

A Nickelodeon vs Cartoon Network Shared Action Universe event would have been crazy. Nick: Danny Phantom, El Tigre, Life of a Teenage Robot. CN: Ben 10, Generator Rex, Sym-Bionic Titan,.

Definitely a series worth checking out.

Sym Bionic Titan in a shared universe/multiverse would've been so cool.

Really cool interview. Loved learning about the show's history at Nickelodeon!

I myself studied cryptozoology. Years before the Secret Saturday was even a concept. I thought the Cryptids were just made up for the show. My collection of books is up there too. Maybe I should give the show another shot.

Being the cryptid fan he is, I would love see Trey the Explainer's opinion on the Secret Saturdays

Yessss

I would definitely watch a reboot

I loved the Secret Saturdays, I really hope it gets a return of some form

id give an arm and a leg for that action universe to exist

Symbionic Titan in the same univers of generator rex? Cool!

Kids nowadays got things like the Trollhunter-verse. Us growing could've had something similar and probably better 😭

i dont think Symbionic Titan makes sense to be conected with these shows

I always thought Ben 10 or Generator Rex would’ve both fit in really well crossing over with the original Teen Titans show, like imagine seeing either of them fighting alongside the Titans, it would’ve been sick

Nickelodeon probs rejected it because Dan Schneider can't abuse, exploit and/or humiliate his underage cast as easily with an animated show

Having Symbiotic Titans in the same universe would've been cool, but at the same time, how would they have gone into making that happen?

Awesome you guys got to do this

A lot of the stuff from the Nickelodeon pitch has been public knowledge for years. Jay himself has made several posts on his personal blog discussing it as well as the general characters and plots. It was a totally different show with a different cast. Argost is the biggest holdover

I hovered over the video's thumbnails and saw Crystal's face with the mask. Thought it was some shitty deepfake thing before seeing it as an actual mask lol

Hello Miss Crystal.

0:34 hey I just noticed helluva boss plushies in the background. Awesome.

We were robbed of a Generator Rex and Sym-bionic Titan crossover.

pretty good video

stolas and blitzo plush

Nowadays with everything being a shared universe they could pick it up again.

stolas plushie in the background crystal moon

Watch symbionic titan!!!!!!

A shared action universe? Is he allowed to reveal this lmao is this not new news?

I feel that were it not coming out around the same time as Ben 10 Alien Force, more people would watch it. I think the Secret Saturdays needs a remake (without all this woke BS going on nowadays). I can see the show being very MonsterVerse like. Being the cryptid fan he is, I can also see Trey The Explainer making a cool pitch for a remake. I definitely want an OFFICIAL DESIGN for Kur (and I'm not talking about Zak being reincarnated as Kur). I am talking about the actual cryptid that was laying waste to civilization during the time of Gilgamesh. In actual myth, he was a dragon, so I can see him being akin to something like a kaiju. Not to mention the world building that could be utilized more: the Lemurians, Nagas, Kumari, etc.
