this show is a peice of crappy crapola
crappity crap
Captian Planet jumped day 1

This cartoon was created by RED TED TURNER the big time eco-freal leitists and multimillionare who wants to brainwash kids he created other trashy shows like ONE CHILD ONE VOICE,NETWORK EARTH,NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPORER plus others i mean this is left-wing propeganda at its worse

I like clean air and water, but this show was pure liberal propaganda.

To answer one of the questions of the last poster:

Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water are the 4 elements. Heart represents kindness, love, and peace, which is also important. An environment is not just forests and oceans, an environment can be anywhere. Evil, greed, and aggression can pollute an environment as much as pollution can.

Ugh, that show was freaking hell for me to stomach!

So many problems with the show

1. Correct me if I am wrong, but traditionally in the hero/villian world, the hero's weakness or "kyptonite" is supposed to be hard to detect or be kept a secret so as the villian can not find out and use it against them.

But with C.Planet, its obvious. Pollution! Smog, contaminated rivers, animal crulety, Hitler's ugly ass face, etc makes this guy whine like a B--tch. So its almost as if everyone both innocent bystander and bad guy suddenly know what can kill him right away. If I was someone like C.Planet I would be concerned about that.

2. C. Planet's lame ass puns, just kill the guy and quit trying to be funny...!

3. What was up with the heart power? At first, I thought it was like the kid's power over animals or something. But it just was never made clear. With the others you knew where you stood:
"Wind=CO2 free ozones"
"Water=marine life and clean water"
"Earth=conserving trees, stop bulldozing rainforest"
"Fire=I assume its probably people's incentives to make a difference or a metaphor for social conundrums"

But what the heck does "Heart" do?

3. Everyone is pretty much straight forward, thus, no character development for either good guys or bad guys.

Either the person they meet is a automatic alley that never betrays them later on or the villian they are accustomed to never has that "This is bad I actually need your help" moment that the Planeteers could ever ponder.

Only one episode I think did the latter and that was that pig guy when his son kidnapped Linka and got some sort of aphyexiantion problem. But they never made a reference back to that episode later on.

5. Captain Pollution....that was just a waste of a new villian. Like the others were having a major case of artistic block or something.

And to the early commenator a few years ago on the original look of this board on "GOOD 80s (Thundercats,etc.) cartoons.. +ARE YOU KIDDING!!! YOU'RE polluting the envinronment with your choices for GREAT cartoons (laughing out LOUD).

Sucked rotten eggs.

Whoever brought up "The Lorax" was absolutely right. It did everything Captain Planet did, and a million times better, because the characters were actually REALISTIC. In "The Lorax", you have a "villain" who causes problems through his apathy for the environment, interest in gaining profit, and even interest in getting his family jobs. The hero, while he spoke the truth and did what was right, failed to reach the "villain" on a level that made him realize what he was doing by being too loud, pushy, and bossy.

In Captain Planet, you have five utterly perfect little kids and a plethora of one-dimensional villains who dump gallons and gallons of oil in the ocean just 'cause they can. Not to mention a blue-skinned magical man with a green mullet who flies in and saves the day at the last minute....mmkay.

Jumped on the first day. Also, the kid who got the "heart" power got screwed.

"Whatever happened to kick ass cartoons like Transformers, He Man, Silverhawks, Thundercats and Voltron? They got replaced with garbage like this. "</quote>
They got chased off the air in their own right fortunately due to being based on toys and to being violent. I'll take 50s-6s shorts.

Just showed up on my demand service put it on for my 4 year old. i forgot how bad this show was, made by liberals for liberals. Plus why was the American kid such an a-hole. just plain bad, even my 4 year old said turn it off after about 15 minutes.

I don't know if this of mine was psoted but (Earth day, so no time like the present, right) Whoopi, and that other chick doing "Gaia"...celebrities, celebrities, etc. June "Rocky the Squirrell" Foray or someone like that ANYDFAY (though un PC I know for a white gal to dol an African American earth woman but Junebug's had much more experience at cartoons...actually Whoopi is disctintive, yes but this was a case of the badf trend t'wards badfd celeb-voice castinbg. Now today, if they only got ELLEN PAGE..I'd love THAT!) Oh yeah, that one AMERICAN WHITE KID wass the ONLY BAD TEEN AROUND!!! Only C.Planet and Gaia are the good ADULTS whom I can THINK of...in short bad casting and 99 percent of adults are bad vis avis the "GOOD teens" (and the adul;t title "personality"..note quotes-rhymes huh? HAH!)

Thanks a BUNCH Ted Toiner and am I GLAD BETTER media is done for the mplanet which I protect,.>:<


Steve

lol this show is the Jump the Shark for saturday morning cartoons!! Now THAT is pretty bad! XD

No doubt that back in the 90's, when Al Gore got home in the afternoon after playing VP, he fired up the bong, turned on TBS and watched "Captain Planet" while Tipper brought him his cookies and milk.

man, that was the most cheesy show ever created by human hands.

There have been some funny a$s parodies of it on youtube, though.

So you want to know who is polluting the planet? Is it factories that procduce smog? Is it ethanol? No, stupid! Only "supervillains" can cause pollution! That means, if I run a lumber mill, but don't plant enough trees to replace the ones cut down, does that mean I'm the spawn of Satan? According to Ted Turner, yes I am! I hope that the concept of Captain Lame-O comes to realization.
