And each ring had its own power. There was earth (which made the earth rise up and hit things) fire (which shot fire out of the ring like a flame thrower) water (which moved water so waves could rise up and splash things, yeah I thought it should blast out of the ring like a hose but anyway!) wind (which caused tornados) and heart (which allowed the wearer of the ring to understand things telepathically.)
I always thought Heart didn't belong with the other four forces of nature. Heart as a thing we all have, pumps blood! It doesn't have telepathic abilities! And heart in the abstract way is about love and compassion not telepathy and communication! That's the brains department. The fifth element of nature shouldn't be heart it should be brain!
But then again watching the show its obvious the creative staff didn't know what a brain is.
Poor Heart. He had the worst power. LOL
ReplyDeleteI can only remember being suckered into watching a small handful of Captain Planet episodes.
ReplyDeleteNot even sure how this terrible cartoon stayed on the air.
I remember enjoying captain planet as a youngin'. Unfortunately as an adult it's kind of disappointing to examine. I don't really know what they were going for with the "heart as an element" bit either.
ReplyDeletewhat a bizarre show this was. environmentalist superheroes, that's pretty funny - i can imagine the meeting where they came up with it
ReplyDeleteThat AIDs episode...
ReplyDeleteEarth!
ReplyDeletenever heard of it :(
ReplyDeleteprobably a good thing
I used to love this show
ReplyDeleteI remember this, but don't actually remember it. It was probably that awesome.

Captain Planet always kinda creeped me out.
ReplyDeleteNever watched it, but I've always heard people talking about it. :/
ReplyDeleteCaptain Planet is weak against any pollutant like smoke and toxic, while Captain Pollution can fly on fresh air and isn't affected by clean sunlight. His enemy have far less weakness compared to him!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Heart is a stupid and pretty useless power.
I remember this show, absolutely ridiculous. :P
ReplyDeleteBut it had a good message at least.
Sorry, I'm not into it :/
ReplyDeleteNever liked CP for some reason
for an old school show that many watched when they were younger who cares if it was heart.. but for those who try to make sense of it hahaha you are totally right!
ReplyDeletehm.. i did not know they have a creative staff there...
ReplyDeleteI want abilities... why cant i have special abilities!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't get the damn theme song out of my head now... thanks...
ReplyDeleteI watched this when I was a child :P
ReplyDeleteI've never seen Captain Planet!
ReplyDeletedude I loved this show! The little kid who had the crappy heart ring also had a kickass monkey sidekick to offset how lame his power was.
ReplyDeleteI still know the entire Captain Planet theme song too. Cool huh? =/
Imagine a live action movie of this show.. Produced by Al Gore rofl.
ReplyDeletenostalgia !
ReplyDeleteit was ok
ReplyDeleteNever used to watch this show, but I do remember seeing that guy with green hair somewhere?
ReplyDeletehehe, i saw that show when i was a younger. there was this one really awkward episode where someone got AIDS. it was kinda funny and sad at the same time.
ReplyDeleteanyways, i always kinda hated that show. it gave me goosebumps :(
I remember seeing some enthusiasts chat about this show. I thought they were going over a play about how to speak in turd.
ReplyDeleteCaptain Planet is awesome!
