Review of Captain Planet and the Planeteers

Oh Captain Planet and the Planeteers. Where to start. Well,you know how people always say that the cartoons from the 90's were the best? That's not true. Yeah,I love a lot of 90's cartoons,but there were some 90's 'toons that were terrible. One of them was Captain Planet and the Planeteers". It's extremely cheesy and stupid,but you just can't help laughing at it(not with it). *WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD! IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPOILERS THEN SKIP AHEAD TO THE END OF MY REVIEW!* OK. So here's the plot. Gaia (The Earth goddess from Greek mythology) is upset with pollution on Earth so she summons the Planeteers! The 5 Planeteers are kids from around the world! Kwame: He's from Africa and has the power of Earth. Wheeler: He's from America and controls the power of fire. Linka: She's from the Soviet Union(This was changed to "Eastern Europe" after the USSR fell to keep it PC)and has the power of wind. Gi: She's from Thailand and controls water. Ma-Ti: She's from Brazil and has the power of heart (What the hell? "Heart" isn't an element! Oh well). What the Planeteers all have in common is that they're all one dimensional and lack personality! They also have a flying car(Solar powered of course). They can also summon Captain Planet! A superhero that helps the environment and has a mullet! Also, his sexual orientation is questionable. Now on to the villains. They all seem to be PURPOSELY trying to pollute the Earth(In real life polluters unknowingly pollute). Apparently they don't realize that they'll die to if they kill the planet they live on. Also one of the villains is called "Duke Nukem"(Has no connection to the video game franchise). He's supposed to represent nuclear power. Didn't the creators of this show realize that nuclear power is BETTER for the environment then fossil fuels? Anyway the shows views on taking care of the environment are questionable at best. As one reviewer pointed out,in the poaching episode instead of dealing with the actual problem (demand for rhino ivory)they go to the poachers themselves. Wouldn't it be better to make the market for rhino ivory go away by introducing medicine that ACTUALLY works and simply dive the poachers out of business? Also they seem to think businesses that pollute are simply evil and want the environment dead. How about getting businesses to install eco-friendly policies instead? Also the lines are SO cheesy! "The power is yours!" "Let our powers combine!" ""By you powers combined! I am Captain Planet!"<---This one always has me in tears laughing! Oh and for the people who claim that Captain Planet is some Communist/Liberal/Socialist plot to brainwash children;get real. It's not some evil plot to destroy Capitalism,it's just a crappy cartoon that you can't help but laugh at! In other words. Captain Planet is so cheesy it's laughable!
