generationofswine Heart? Earth, Wind, Fire...those all make sense and then...Heart? Even at 10 I had a huge problem with Heart. And as kids we had a LOT of discussions as to how Heart fit into the group.So anyways, this was made when preserving the environment was something that both liberals and conservatives agreed with..Now, if it were made today the people that poison the drinking water and make acid rain would be the heroes and the Planeteers and their Captain would be communists trying to fool all of you into the vast sweeping liberal conspiracy that clean drinking water is good for you and your family.Remember kids, the Republicans are in power...so always pollute all the time for your health.Only communists care about birth defects.Remember this is also when the NRA supported guns for hunters who hunted animals and not for racists that wanted to shoot unarmed minorities in Florida.So I guess a lot has changed.
catfish907 Oh Captain Planet and the Planeteers. Where to start. Well,you know how people always say that the cartoons from the 90's were the best? That's not true. Yeah,I love a lot of 90's cartoons,but there were some 90's 'toons that were terrible. One of them was Captain Planet and the Planeteers". It's extremely cheesy and stupid,but you just can't help laughing at it(not with it). *WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD! IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPOILERS THEN SKIP AHEAD TO THE END OF MY REVIEW!* OK. So here's the plot. Gaia (The Earth goddess from Greek mythology) is upset with pollution on Earth so she summons the Planeteers! The 5 Planeteers are kids from around the world! Kwame: He's from Africa and has the power of Earth. Wheeler: He's from America and controls the power of fire. Linka: She's from the Soviet Union(This was changed to "Eastern Europe" after the USSR fell to keep it PC)and has the power of wind. Gi: She's from Thailand and controls water. Ma-Ti: She's from Brazil and has the power of heart (What the hell? "Heart" isn't an element! Oh well). What the Planeteers all have in common is that they're all one dimensional and lack personality! They also have a flying car(Solar powered of course). They can also summon Captain Planet! A superhero that helps the environment and has a mullet! Also, his sexual orientation is questionable. Now on to the villains. They all seem to be PURPOSELY trying to pollute the Earth(In real life polluters unknowingly pollute). Apparently they don't realize that they'll die to if they kill the planet they live on. Also one of the villains is called "Duke Nukem"(Has no connection to the video game franchise). He's supposed to represent nuclear power. Didn't the creators of this show realize that nuclear power is BETTER for the environment then fossil fuels? Anyway the shows views on taking care of the environment are questionable at best. As one reviewer pointed out,in the poaching episode instead of dealing with the actual problem (demand for rhino ivory)they go to the poachers themselves. Wouldn't it be better to make the market for rhino ivory go away by introducing medicine that ACTUALLY works and simply dive the poachers out of business? Also they seem to think businesses that pollute are simply evil and want the environment dead. How about getting businesses to install eco-friendly policies instead? Also the lines are SO cheesy! "The power is yours!" "Let our powers combine!" ""By you powers combined! I am Captain Planet!"<---This one always has me in tears laughing! Oh and for the people who claim that Captain Planet is some Communist/Liberal/Socialist plot to brainwash children;get real. It's not some evil plot to destroy Capitalism,it's just a crappy cartoon that you can't help but laugh at! In other words. Captain Planet is so cheesy it's laughable!
anthony-rigoni I remembered watching this cartoon series when I was a kid. Last Spring, Captain Planet returned on TV and I enjoyed it. So, let me give you the full scoop. When the Earth is on the verge of pollution, Gaea(Played by Whoopi Goldberg) sends five magic rings. Five teens were assigned to protect the Earth: Kwame(Played by LeVar Burton), the leader of the Planeteers from Africa who masters the power of Earth; Wheeler(Played by Joey Dedio, who played Jeff from Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw), the comical teen from the USA who masters the power of Fire; Linka(Played by Kath Soucie who played Phil and Lil from the Rugrats and guest starred in the Pound Puppies as Arf.), the music loving girl from Russia with the power of Wind; Gi(Played by Janice Kawaye who played Tammy from Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw), the future biologist from South Asia(Possibly Thailand?) with the Power of Water; and Ma-ti(Played by Scott Menville), a boy from South America with the ability to understand animals and harbors the power of Heart. When things get literally messy, the five teens combine their powers to summon Captain Planet(David Coburn), the defender of the environment! Every time when I hear the Captain Planet song at the end of each episode, I couldn't help but sing. This TV series teaches kids about the dangers of pollution and how we should protect our environment. Check out the cartoon series on Boomerang and I think you'll enjoy this cartoon. And remember, the power is yours!
thermoharmonic Caring for the environment is not a bad thing. We need the environment - practically and aesthetically. However the cartoon is biased and tends to exaggerate things for simplicity. I understand that it's a children's show and you can't expect it to be rational but still it could have been better. I think the idea behind it is great - a superhero who cares for the earth. But I also think the show should be remade to introduce more rational approaches towards environmental issues or maybe show kids actually cleaning trash with their powers. They should also teach kids to try and find out ways to reduce pollution through science, etc. and not just go kill industrialists. Otherwise this is just an average action cartoon with the extremely good guys vs extremely the bad guys, nothing in between. I enjoyed this cartoon as a kid but this is what I feel now.
