Five (six?) children with magical rings combine with this one blue superhero to fight pollution.

With respect,


CAPTAIN PLANET

I never realized how silly that cartoon was until now.

It was an unsuccessful attempt at brainwashing.

that show was ghey!

[mrmitchell]

Sava, you Earth-raping corporate whore! Love the Captain Planet!

[Sava]

negative! DEATH TO THE ENVIRONMENT!!!

Man, Captain Planet was a loser. Throw some pollution on him and he was incapacitated? He never fought really competant villens or terrorists. Can you imagine if hewas flying around and he met up with Captain Marvel ?



'Splode Captain Planet, all over Earth. Or Marvel would've just tossed his ass into a garbage dump.

[Lonestar]

*continues* I mean, c'mon, he was suppose to save the enviroment but he was vulnerable to pollution? Loser.

Now, here's a Captain we can rally behind.

You know what I don't get? IIRC, the whole schpeel was, "earth, wind, fire, water, etc"... well... wind is just a reaction of pressure systems. It's air molecules moving. It's not like a secret power. And fire... well fire helps burn the coal and stuff. Fire is bad. But yet they use it to create captain planet. And water? Water is just H2O... wtf is so special about it? And earth... Pollution is caused from burning coal and other fossil fuels... everything CAME from the Earth, so yet its good... I just find the use of the "elements" to be very stupid.

BTW, the whole "environment" concept is rather silly. People treat it like some universal battle between good and evil. In the grand scheme of things, pollution isn't universally bad or good. It's just different chemicals making up the atmosphere. It's bad for humans and other living things, but they make pollution out to be something universally evil. It's not.... it's just bad for us.

I'm probably not making much sense... oh well.

Now, here's a Captain we can rally behind.

I wonder what Captain planet would say to Bush and company... what with many of the same people who ARMED Saddam Hussein, now rallying against him. And likewise with Al Qaeda, Osama, and how the US supported them in the 80's against the Soviets.

I don't think Captain Planet would have kind words for the Bushies.

SHUDDUP SAVA!

CAPTAIN PLANET RULES!

[Sava]

I didn't say anything bad about Captain Planet, dumbass.



oops wait I did... he sucks... LOL

[Az]

I suspect CP is surprisingly vulnerably to TOW Missiles.

I also see Azazel is using the same google search as me.
