Captain Planet's enemies are now running the world and openly dismantling environmental protections like it's a matter of pride to them. And half the people that grew up watching Captain Planet voted them in.
Isnât that the point of superheroes, i.e. wish-fulfilment fantasies about there being one powerful and good being who could solve our very real problems?
given what I overhear about marvel movies maybe their problems aren't quite as real
There's a decent Robot Chicken skit on this, where the Captain doesn't want to resort to killing, but the Planeteers feel they have to after given no other option
Just gonna leave this here.
It does have the same kind of feeling that the recycle symbols on plastic does. Like a distraction from the real problems or at least the source of them.
otoh doctor blight was definitely my lesbian awakening so
Ok, now imagine a live action Captain Planet (or wait 2 weeks, I'm sure some VOD will get on that nostalgia). Who are we casting? I'm calling Halle Berry as Gia.
I came here to post this video.
Remember: turn off the faucet between usages and recycle those plastics. Or else I'll turn you into a fucking tree.
Love it.
I am stor- uh, Gaia
Awh man...
