Captain Planet: A Hero For Earth

Why hasn’t anyone started a petition to get Captain Planet back on the air? Children need this! How else will they save the Earth if they don’t have environmetalist cartoons?! Please, if you know any kids who didn’t grow up with Captain Planet, it is your duty to expose them to this beautiful liberal propoganda! It may be our only hope.

Also, isn’t Gaia a babe? Also, isn’t that whole scene with the water dripping on her face and then the big drill coming towards her wrought with Freudian creepiness? Stop the oedipal rampage now, Planeteers!

Man, I loved this as a kid, even though I had no idea what was happening.

Bah, I couldn’t get through more than a minute of that review! What’s that guy’s problem? In retrospect, I guess my post sounds sarcastic, but I actually do love Captain Planet.

Thanks for that nostalgia trip Claire… I can’t believe how blind I was in high school– how did I never join that club?
