Sure, Captain Dark Shell took over the multiverse, but hasn't Alan been already convinced enough that the gang is capable of doing their job after seeing that they have defeated villains countless times? He should have known very well by then that the gang is capable of doing their job to defeat villains. After all, the gang has defeated Captain Dark Shell once before.

Speaking of which, is protecting Echo Creek even supposed to be the gang's job? Most of the gang members don't even live in Echo Creek, and it seems that the citizens of Echo Creek completely depend on the gang for their own safety. I know I might be exaggerating, but it almost feels like that the citizens are completely defenseless without the presence of the gang. It does make sense. Think about it, when Captain Dark Shell actually takes over the multiverse, Alan might find it to be proof that the gang isn't as competent as everyone thought. Think about it: The gang is not 100% effective anymore. One villain managed to take over the multiverse before their defeat. This might make Alan think that if there was one villains that managed to do this, who says there's not going to be other villains that do this as well, perhaps even one that doesn't even fall to the gang at the end. And since Alan wants to replace the gang with the Purple-Ops, you'd expect him to be in that mentality where you're only waiting for them to make 1 error in order to justify your actions on that.

Well, no one else is doing it, right? After all, isn't this the case in every series that involves superheroes? What would townsville be without the powerpuff girls? What would the people of DC or Marvel do without the superheroes from their respective worlds? Can you mention at 1 least superhero series where the world wouldn't be doomed without the presence of the superheroes?

Won't the gang defeat Captain Dark Shell in the end? Since that would definitely happen, Alan would most likely become convinced again that the gang are able to do their job well. It's not the first time that the gang has made an error anyway. In fact, sometimes the gang members are the ones who accidentally initiate the wrath of a villain. One example would be Cold as Ice, where Red Ruby made the Snow-Bot angry to the point that it began to attack Echo Creek. We have seen the gang constantly fixing their errors and changing for the better, and one error doesn't necessarily have to change one's mindset to the complete opposite.

No one else? May I remind you that the gang has allies? That's right, I'm talking about Dark Shadow, Black Gem, Captain Snap Jaws, Paula Python, Team Hybrids, Sakura and more. And these characters aren't eveb part of the gang. They're the ones who even tried to defend various parts of the multiverse while the gang is trapped in the Shadow Dimension, in Shadows of War of course. I'm pretty sure there has been a few series where the superheroes aren't present to save the world and the world is saved at the end, but I don't really know any of them enough to mention them.

Alternatively, I think it might work if Alan isn't completely convinced that the gang isn't capable of doing their job to defeat villains. He might possibly begin to doubt about the gang's capabilities, after seeing that Captain Dark Shell gets the closest to taking over the entire multiverse. He can send the Purple-Ops to fight the gang, to see if they make better heroes than the gang.
