Captain Planet confused me as a kid...

Captain Planet confused me as a kid, because pollution is his kryptonite but he was supposed to be the earth's ultimate force against pollution. When I rewatched some episodes I realized that in line with that he gets his ass kicked quite a lot. What did you think of Captain? Did you love him, did you hate him, or did you just curse Ted Turner for cancelling Swat Kats?

No joke, as a child my favorite character on this shit show was the guy in the outro that scream "YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS CAPTAIN PLANET!!" I am not sure if he was an actual villain in the show.(Looked like the slimey business man but sounded different)
I never really liked it much as a child. It was always the kind of show you watch when nothing else was on. I would probably be pissed as a kid if I knew SWAT Kats was cancelled for this shit.

The villians really were the best part if only because of how absurd they are.

I always assumed that he is like a white blood cell in a way. He can handle some pollution, but too much will kill him, just like any other living thing. He is also often shown relying on things like wind and trees to contain harmful gases, or just throwing things into chasms in the earth.


If I remember correctly, he was an businessman trafficking animals and hunting them for ivory, pelts, and trophies.
My favorite was the radioactive guy, because he reminded me of the thing, but with radioactive powers, cool outfit, and cool looking sidekick.

...

I really like the one where Hoggish Greedly was enslaving dolphins, I hate those things.

Has it been that long?

Who in their right mind would do business with a man named Hoggish Greedly who looks like his mother got raped by a pig?

Everything has been that long.

What's wrong with being fathered by a rapist pig?

We all know why he did it.

YOU MEAN DUKE NUK'EM, LOSER

Captain Pollution was the best

In shows like this, I was always fascinated by the villains, usually because they had interesting backstories and I always wanted to find out how they ended up looking like rock monsters or how they got their powers.

I remember reading a test study that showed kids actually polluted more after being shown Captain Planet because they thought he'd take care of everything for them. Maybe that's why they pussified him.

I had no idea Captain Planet had a celebrity voice cast until I watched it again for the first time in years.


His name was Looten Plunder. That particular clip in the outro was from the first season's episode on the ivory trade.

Swat Kats was cancelled for this? I could swear I saw it years after I first saw Captain Planet, and I remember Cartoon Network (or Fox Kids or whatever channel had it) pushing it like crazy, so I assumed it was new. Must have just been new to the UK

Swat Kats wasn't really cancelled for this, but Anons lament how Ted Turner would rather continue airing Captain Planet than Swat Kats.

So his motto is essentially dumping pollution somewhere else and pretending it's not a problem anymore?

Gonna take it down to zero baby.

"Feels like I'm watching nothing at all! Nothing at all!! NOTHING AT ALL!!!"

"Wrong Duke asshole!

All I remember is that the kids almost never did anything cool with the rings

Still a better idea than making business with a Jew.

Funny how environmentalism hasn't gotten the same hate that feminism has, considering it's probably worse.

Seriously, this show's like "oh hey kiddies, don't have more than one kid! Overpopulation is totally a thing, for realz!" Anyone who tells you that shit is a fucking scourge and needs to be buried alive.

I wonder who could be behind this post.

it seemed ridiculous until I caught a rerun on CN. Planet dunked his ass in lava

All I remember was an episode where some guy from the past got transported to the future because of magic because I'm pretty sure it showed rotting corpses, or at least, skeletons. Might be thinking of the wrong show, though.

This show also said Hitler was bad.

Ya know it's like why not just do that to all our actual pollution?

How long do you think Captain Planet could survive in India?

I think it fucks with the volcano and could cause an eruption. I'm no scientist though.

We do. Except we use incinerators, which are much easier to find than volcanoes and have more environmental control.

Also, fumes and stuff. There's a shit-ton that goes into proper waste disposal.

I want the Holla Forums porkposter out of Holla Forums.

I want low energy shitposters to leave

Seriously how many seconds could Captain survive in India?

Fucking space in email field.

you know, whoever was salty enough to make this, could have just spent all that time and effort drawing Callie porn

Mr. Turner I know you're autistic, but this is just too damn obvious.

You'd have a pile of noxious burning trash floating on the lava, it'd have no special benefits compared to just burning it.

gay

terrible animation, blatant liberal propaganda, and cringy acting.

Don't do that, they might take root and sprout more of themselves! Just burn the fuckers.

I just never understood why the awful mullet haircut

oh I'm salty? this fuck could have been drawing glorious cat lady lewds for all of us instead of tormenting some poor guy

Ted pls

Ted come on your summer is showing.

On the other hand it made Hitler so badass he could kill Captain Planet just by staring at him.

The only reason anyone remembers this show was because they rolled a natural 20 when coming up with good once-per-episode catch phrases.

The funny thing about that episode that basically says "Hey American children! Don't have kids!" is that it starts to make sense when you find out that Ted Turner wants to reduce the planet's population to two billion people.


The catchy song helps a lot too.

Oh yeah, I was well aware. Hypocrite had like 7 kids of his own, too.

Anyone who advocates for population control either hates humanity or hates him/herself (or both) and is dangerous.

How many of these faggots who preach for population control try to preach it to the Chinese, India, or Mexico?

Am I supposed to believe this guy is doing something about Africa's exponential population growth over the last century?

Oh, they do that there, too, pushing birth control and shit.

Like I know everyone here is racist and shit, but low populations don't really help them either. Human capital is a valuable resource and a lot of those shitholes need bodies in order to progress. It's just as bad for them as it is for Europeans

Yeah that's interesting, but tell me Pajeet do you poo in the loo or shit in the street?
India will genocide itself in a mountain of its own shit, check em.
