Seriously. He Kicked Butt. We need a awesome super hero that fights for the enviroment. There could be an episode where he goes beat up the Ceo of BP then throws him into the gulf. Who else is with me?

feth yeah Captain Planet.

I had a super crush on the Russian girl as a kid.




That being said, I bet there are pictures of all of the Captain Planet kids having an orgy. The power is yours!!!1111

Well at least now thier realesing cartoons with a message like the good old days.

None of this Sponge Bob Square Pants crap I'm use to seeing on kids channels

Spongebob does have message(s). I'lll leave it to the imagination of other OT posters to decide what those messages are/were (is Spongebob even still made anymore? ).

and what was that? Making a crabby paddy?

No, the message of Spongebob is that Mr. Krabbs lives in Bikini Bottom. Beware, children!

I think we need more adult minded and college educated message seekers here.

Actually, no.

Captain Planet was horrible. The only cartoon worth a feth from when I was a kid is Ren and Stimpy, and that's a stretch at times. Any show where one of the special powers is "heart" is total gayness.

Yeah, but at least the heart guy was utterly useless except for calling the Cap'n

I do believe you may have forgotten other greats, such as Pinky and the Brain, and The Tick

Well I give you that it was cheesy like the power of heart

But it teachs the values of protecting the planet through recycling and reducing green house gases to kids.

I also learnt that taking antibiotics frequently would lessen their effect, so you should only have them if you need them, and not for common colds from Captain Planet!

Now thats television!

I think it was a bad idea, as a cartoon. It's nice to have a message, but environmentalism isn't really a concept that lends itself to a 30 minute kids cartoon.

Thing is, you need someone to punch at the end of the episode. You can't have the heroes kicking down the door of CEOs at multinationals and start dealing with the complicated idea that the companies who provide jobs are also the companies who destroy environments, that's too political. Instead you invent a collection of supervillains who are, for some bizarre set of reasons, actively trying to cause environmental destruction. It's nice and simple that way, but also really inane television.

Give me the Centurions any day.

NOOO!!! Leave it dead! Captain Planet was terrible. Just a bunch of hippy nonsesne, I mean they hung out with Gaia for feths sakes. If someones gonna go dredging up old 90s cartoons and zombifying them, then bring back a good one like Rocko's modern life, or get those people who made that awesome Batman series writing new episodes or something. Bringing Captain Planet back is like bringing back Disco, leave it in hell where it belongs!

Maybe they'll leave the "total suck" out of the new version.

That show was crap. You all know it. Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

Yes.

Notice how it's only the African Kid (name I can't remember) who calls Captain Planet. What happens if he doesn't feel like it one day?

Captain Planet totally sucked. He was such a dick and that cartoon made me lul.

I vaguely recall watching this when I was supposed to revising for GCSEs.

Russian babe was wind
African kid was earth
Brash American was fire (well duh!)
Chinese cutie was water
Which left the South American weedy kid as heart

Oh God, the lyrics of the theme song are coming back to me...

"Captain Planet, he's our hero. Gonna get pollution down to zero"

The only way I can see a reboot working is as an ironic live action film starring Will Ferrell.

It was always one of my goals in life to be a villan on Captain Planet.

I just turned around to see the Captain Planet action figure I've had for years looking at the screen with that creepy smile >_>
Either he likes this thread or wants to kill you in your sleep...

This one
His arms can lock downwards and if you press the button on his back they shoot up into the position in the pic, so yes he's designed to push things off cliffs.

I agree though, show really really sucked.

Maybe if they lose the mullet.

This about sums it up for me

Yak9UT wrote:Well at least now thier realesing cartoons with a message like the good old days.

Yeah, shoving an message down my throat at 8:00 on Saturday morning is why that show blew. On top of the other obvious crapiness of it. Seriously... HEART?

Heart would be an awesome power if done right.

Evil Oil Tychoon: Muahahaha! I am going to use the souls of baby seals and OIL to blow up a colony of Pandas!

Ma-Ti: You know what, I am sick and tired of having the crapest power on this show! HEART THIS MOTHERFETHER!

Evil Oil Tychoon: Argh! My left arm! -Falls down dead of a heart attack-

You got me there.

The Tick was great, and Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain are actually still funny to me after all these years. Still, Captain Planet was painful.

Not trying to be a douche, but your spelling and overall communication is much improved garret I approve.

I made this Captain Planet-meme-related-thing a while ago, linked for language
