These names made the aliens feel Kurdish, not imported.


A specific example of the creative liberty taken in the Ben 10 Alien Force Kurdish dub is the handling of villains. The Highbreed (genetically obsessed aliens) were renamed Cendermên Saf (Pure Monsters). When Vilgax returned, his dialogue was rewritten to include proverbs from Kurdish poet Ehmedê Xanî, which is hilariously absurd but culturally genius.
