Just so we're clear i hat the Captain Planet Planeteers, not your planeteers. The main reason i hat it is because the guy responible for his creation (Leonardo Dicaprio) is a massive hypocrite, preaching about environmental health, yet takes an awe-inducing number of private jet trips around the world, owns luxurious and gigantic homes, and parties on yachts to watch the World Cup. The show itself isn't mush better, for the fallowing 6 reasons (grab some snacks, this could get long)

1. Ted Turner once said "there's a lesson and a message about healthy living and/or environmentalism as well as great entertainment in every episode." That quote doen't hold up when you realize that Cap. P always jumps to the worst possible conclution in EVERY episode, and treats it like it's the begining of armageddon, Ted Turner should've said: "There's palpable resentment and despair about pollution, as well as signs of clinical depression and possibly homicidal tendencies within the hero's miserable heart, in every episode."

2. And in one episode, he says "Mr. Mayor, the best way to protect the envioronment is to never mess with it in the first place." Yet he constantly shouts his signature catchphrase, "THE POWER IS YOURS!" At the top of his lungs at the end of every episode. Power to do what? Nothing? Isn't doing nothing what causes problems in the first place?

3. Captain Planet pulls a Batman in every episode, and tells his 3-7 year old audiance to do things like, stop drug adiction, stop over-fishing, stop the oil industry, ect ect. WHY? These are kids! They most likely don't know how the world works at that age, so how are they supposed to know how they can stop all these problems in the world.

4. In the infamous episode "Mind Polution," a bunch of people get hooked on a drug called "Bliss," and it turns them into drug adicted zombies! ZOMBIES! They portray drug addicts as mindless zombies, instead of people that seriously need help. On top of that, one of the Planeteer's cousin DIES! And what does Cap do?

A. Comfort her

B. Exploit the poor guy's death to expand on his agenda

C. Try to bring him back to life

D. Nothing

If you picked A,B,or C, WRONG! He did absolutly nothing about it!

Me (To Captain Planet): WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? ONE OF YOUR FREINDS JUST LOST A FAMILY MEMBER AND YOU DO NOTHING ABOUT IT? What do you have to save for yorself, young man?

Cap. P:...

Me: Yeah, that's what i thought, ya heartless monster.

5. He broke the law and got arrested for it! In one episode, a land developer legally bought a marshland and was aloud to do what he wanted with it, and what do our heroes do? They tresspass, start a fire, and almost kill the guy! They get aressted, escape, and trick the land developer into sighning over the land he bought. So they Tresspassed, commited arsson, nearly killed a man, and escaped prisson before their sentence was over. Moral of the story: Break the law, kids! Cause if you fight for the envioronment, you can get away with anything, even attempted murder!

Finally 6. He repremands people for things that are beyond their control. In the episode "Population Bomb" one of the planeteers says he wants a big family when he grows up, then hits his head and has a dream of Miceland. A drastically overpopulated and militerized world populated by talking mice, when the dictator begins to destroy the world (because of the overpopulation) one of the mice says to the planeteer "Don't let this happen to you. Don't let there be more people than your world can hold." And at the episode, Captain Planet, dickhead that he is, says that having big families "Puts pressure on the earth" and we should keep our families small. WHAT THE FUCK, CAPTAIN PLANET? For starters, there is no overpopulation problem in the world, then or now. China had to repeal it's "One child per family" law, because they were losing workers. And most first world countries are having less and less kids every year, now THAT is a problem in my eyes. Secondly, even if it was a problem, HOW ARE PEOPLE, LET ALONE KIDS, SUPOSSED TO FIX THAT? Passing laws limiting children in a family don't work. And having less kids isn't going to work, because in certain countries the parents have as many kids as possible, so that there's a higher chance that at least one survives to have kids of his/her own, which is the exact opposite of captain planets solution.

And that's why i hate the Captain Planet cartoon, sorry for the rant, but this cartoon realy gets my tempor blazing.
