Captain Planet needs a reboot
Other urls found in this thread:
It'd just be a bunch of propaganda.
The question isn't what would change.
The question is, what would stay the same?
For started, Captain Planet's one-liners would need to stay. Secondly, the Burger King Kid's Club that were the Planeteers would also be the same for sure.
>kids from different countries and races come together
>battle evil businesspeople who want to destroy the environment and introduce degeneracy to the people
>commune with Pagan deity
>summon smug, grinning figure with green and blue in his color scheme
Why have a cartoon about that when you can just go to /pol/?
It's more current than ever
CP admitting in OK KO that Earth is totally fucked at this point makes a revival meaningless.
He'll save us
The type of "save the earth" hippies that make up the main cast don't exist anymore.
Now all we have are radicalized Marxists street thugs.
>ecofascist anti-china captain planet
sounds based
That's what it was the first time around.
Ma-Ti would need to be trans or nonbinary. And it wouldn't even make anyone mad because nobody liked Ma-Ti anyway.
Wasn't one of them literally a Soviet?
If you add lore to it it could be awesome
Yes, Linka was Russian. That was the point though, it was the WHOLE WORLD coming together, including both major powers of the cold war. That shit wasn't an accident, they didn't just say "Oh we need someone from Europe, let's throw a dart" and it just miraculously landed on Russia.
Can you honestly tell me anyone would notice?
I sure can't!
Ma-Ti power is broken, but he never understood this.
It's too late, we didn't act on environmental issues back then when we should have, so the message would be pointless today.
Not after getting BTFO by based Eddy.
The message is more relevant today
>punished captain planet returns to a planet that has rejected him
>Captain Planet with an eyepatch and a bandana
Make it happen, Turner.
what was that one episode where the blonde appears in a bikini?
>the villans from captain planet are unrealistic
>Fraking is a thing
>Japan still blatantly breaks the wall and kills tons of whales
>Logging corperations in the rain forest kill the native populace
>No one got arrested for the bp oil spill
>Africa is still a shit hole only now its gonna be owned by china
Ted turner tried to warn us and all we did was laugh
Actually, I'm angry at him because he canceled the cat lady show.
People are still laughing.
The last three people on Earth will probably be a /pol/fag laughing about owning the libs and saying its all the Chinese’s fault, a guy who missed what happened and is trying to google what global warming is, and a sad hippie who recycled every day, swapped beef for chicken and beans, and doesn’t realize why it didn’t work.
Which is funny, because that setting is almost like Judge Dredd where its clear that everything went to hell already.
His anti-nuclear bullshit didn't help.
It's WB now
Someone please make this a cartoon
The power was supposed to be ours, remember? We blew it, badly.
Nothing left to do but wait for the end.
Technically we have the same power we did then.
Just not as much time.
Maybe twenty years to kill our current economic system and convince flyover country they don’t have a right to jobs.
Shit, you see the same oil industry and automotive industry that pushed President Orange Julius to axe all regulation are now telling him he’s cutting regulation too much and is causing too much competition in their fields?
>New episode done in the style of the old cartoons.
>The planeteers are dead.
>Gaia's dead.
>World is drying up, rain is visibly corroding buildings, people screaming and seeking shelter.
>Somber version of Captain Planet theme plays.
>People breaking open hydrants for buckets of water
>All the vegetation is brown and dying.
>Ocean is full of garbage.
>Cut to Blight's lab. Protein bars and empty bottles of water everywhere. Blight looks ill and desperate as she frantically types on a computer.

(Blight's voice is broken, soft, and defeated as she narrates her typing mentally)
"They were right."
"They were right all along."
"Greedily was the first to go. The rising temperatures and the bad air were too much for his lungs and heart. Then Sludge. Fell head first into Lake Eire after making another waste dump. He might have lived through the chemical burns with skin grafts had he not panicked and inhaled. I've seen a lot of bad ways to go, but that was the worst."
"Skumm died trying to create a new strain of airborne AIDS. My drones found him smiling, and now New York is a dead zone, one of the worst. 100% fatality rate, he'd be proud. I think the end of the world was what he wanted. If this works, I'm putting a bullet in his head the moment I see him."
(We see some sort of pod, with very shoddy and hasty construction, charging up.)
"Looten... I don't know. He was trying to offer $200,000 for a 12-bottle pack of water, only to be told the almighty dollar wasn't good anymore. At least as currency." (Cut to some very emaciated families throwing dirty dollar bills on a small fire to use as kindling.)
"Nukem holed himself up in a reactor somewhere, started a cult to "the ascended atom", but he's dying and he knows it. The nuke he used to kill Captain Planet did something to him, tipped the balance to where he's more radioactive material than human, and he has a very short half-life. Being near radiation helps, but from my calculations, it's just slowing down the process. He'll be dead outside of ten years."
"Then again, so will everyone else."
(cont.)
What about rebooting it as teen drama as alusion to how current measures are ineffective.
"Looten said he was going for a walk one day. I told him to take his respirator. He didn't. I told him repeatedly what would happen. He knew. HE. KNEW. And he did it anyway. My drones found him a block away from my lab, already decomposed. I suppose I had it coming. The Hades virus took care of the firebug and airhead, and now it's taken him from me. I released a cloud of it to deal with a mob- thought the virus would die off without any living hosts to feed off. It doesn't. It just remains dormant in the air until it gets in your lungs."
"Zarm hasn't contacted us. He's given up on this planet. He wants conquerors, he wants war, and soon there won't be anyone to hand out Iron Gauntlets or superpowers to."
"When we got the Unrestrained Business Bill signed into law, we were signing our own death warrants. Ozone layer's dying, here it's just hotter than hell, over in China people cook to death in minutes. No more fish in the sea. No more bees, so no more plants. Water is the new currency, and everyone is below the poverty line. I'm down to my last bottle, my last protein bar. MAL calculates that there's a 30% chance the Chrono-Slide works, 70% chance it vaporizes me. Both mean I don't have to deal with what comes next."
"If this doesn't work, this is my confession. My apology. The power WAS ours... and we squandered it. I'm so sorry."
You know,what if we made a post apocalyptic Captain Planet.
>Gaia is dead,we killed her...
>It's been 17 years since the fallout when the eternal winter started to fall,we knew it would end like this,but we never expected to happen so soon.
>Fire is too much to sacrifice
>Earth is rotten to it's core.
>Wind is so polluted it's not worth breathing
>Water is practically non-existent.
>but we still have Heart,and that keeps us going.
Oh wow
>Whit your powers combined, I am Captain REEEEEEE
>Verminious Scumm tries to sell hormone pills to confused teens and "progressive" parents
>Calls the planeteers bigots for trying to strip people of the choice to ruin their bodies and minds
I think it was compassion that allowed him to influence weak willed people and animals.
we already got one
youtu.be
>Liberal propaganda needs ANOTHER SHOW
Fuck off.
Captain Planet can and should battle rich attractive suburban white women who want to personally chainsaw all the trees and install Wonderbread factories in their place and then eat the bread while standing among the corpses of the trees they erotically chopped down
