Talk:Captain Planet

Sorry but I don't know how to use the organizational tools that Wikipedia provides. It could also be a better ides to edit in some of the additions here into the Captain Planet and the Planeteers page, or maybe redirecting this page there, as there may be more people looking at "Captain Planet" first.

Heartless Planet

Is there a citation to the actual episode title / number for the section about Captain Planet being summoned without Heart?

• Seems like a load of shit to me; there was a big deal made in "greenhouse planet" about heart being captain planet's soul. There was, however, an episode where someone who wasn't Ma-Ti had to use the hear ring to summon Captain Planet, but I can't find it

Article Inconsistency

The article currently states that Captain Planet was summoned at least one time without the power of Heart, and then later goes on to say that Earth and Heart are likely the minimum two powers needed to summon him. 70.190.242.30 (talk) 14:48, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your support

The article looks very good, it was just that some nasty spaces made your paragraphs surrounded by a dash-line. But after the fix, it looks quite nice. --Megara 23:07, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Duke Nukem

Ok, is it me, or does it just seem like there might be at least some tenuous connection between the Duke Nukem of Captain Planet and the Duke Nukem of the infamous games?

Barring obvious differences such as one is a radioactive monster which gamma rays don't affect like they do 99.9% of all known living things (and probably even cockroaches, which comprise somewhat less than .1%, as well).

Points of comparison are dressing habits (Hawaiian shirts, sunglasses, etc) Attitudes (very jockular) Build (seemingly muscular and athelitic types) --JD 08:31, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

- game hero Duke Nukem never wore a Hawaiian shirt, always a red undershirt. He also always wears jeans.

By Your Powers Combined...

I've added the voice of the Captain and a link to the IMDB page. Or at least at this time of writing, I'm just about to.

"Hidden Character?"

Says here that Blark Flark, who was shown for all of seven seconds in episode 63, is needed to create Captain Planet. Call me paranoid as I am, but since the name utterly fails the Google test can someone who's actually seen that episode (it wasn't carried that far here) confirm or deny? --Kizor 23:28, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Superhero Box

Feel free to remove it if you think it should be, but I added a Superhero box to the article to give it a cleaner layout and to conform to the standards of Wiki superhero articles. I'd also be appreciative if someone could find a better picture of CP to use, as I used the logo, which is fairly poor resolution and includes other characters. 203.208.71.144 16:34, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

"Like many other superheroes, Captain Planet has a day job and secret identity which he uses to masquerade as a civillian. His alias is Dr. Henry DeGrazia, a high school physics "teacher" who reminesces of the hippy movement and eats hemp granola. The Captain fights environmental hazards even when assuming the false identity of Henry DeGrazia through his leadership in GAEA (The Galloway Association for Environmental Assistance). Captain Planet is currently a resident of Atlanta, Georgia" No.

Wiccan?

I notice the Captain Planet mythology (and the five rings) jive with a lot of Wiccan beliefs and teachings. Would you say this is his religion?--204.246.229.246 18:50, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I dunno. Gaia is, in this series, obviously just a kind of general Mother Earth-figure. I don't think Captain Planet really has a religion (especially not if he's an "EVIL ATHEIST IMMORAL COMMUNIST GRRR" like the whackos who wanted him banned said), but he certainly seems to fit in with a range of pantheistic, spiritualistic and pagan beliefs. --Switch 15:20, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

No because all of those concepts are far older then Wicca which is a 20th century invention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.188.178.111 (talk) 02:20, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Co-relation to Satanism

Earth fire wind(air) water and heart(soul) are the meanings of the 5 points in the inverted pentagram (a Satanic Symbol) and by the powers combined, a superhuman figure is unleashed.... is the series subliminally messaging children? It was the most popular cartoon here in Australia when I was about 5, until some low-life decided to remove it from screening. We all remember it though.

Nah, dude, it's back on. I've caught a few episodes - good times, reminiscing about playing with my old CP action figure in the sandbox in back Melbourne. Possibly the most awesome propaganda ever. Definitely not Satanist though - the show was much more overt in its message to kids than that. THE POWER IS YOURS! --Switch 15:20, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

switch, please refrain from posting about captain planet when your knowledge on Satanism is little. both myself (a Satanist) and a Wiccan agree that it supports anti-xian themes, so please refrain from commenting crudely before you become more farmiliar and informed with the subject. Thank you-Trance

Trolling is a no-no. --Switch 13:01, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't think Captain Planet is Satanist.

Hey, can't Wiki research on who are the artists of Captain Planet? There is a long standing rumor in the Philippines that Filipinos animated this one. I really wonder if it's true.

Um, you could like, read the credits. >_> —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.255.203.48 (talk) 22:36, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

If Satan helps us stop pollution, and reminds us that we have the power to keep our planet clean and healthy, then he's alright in my book.

Propaganda controversy

Has there ever been any kind of controversy about this show potentially teaching kids to protect the environment, often at the expense of logic, morality, and common sense (for instance, not to use an air conditioning unit even when it is dangerously hot)? Damien Shiest 21:02, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes there has, from both pro-conservation and anti-conservation groups. It is discussed at Captain Planet and the Planeteers, the article about the show. This article, confusing though it may be, is only about the character of Captain Planet. --Switch 06:00, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I remember seeing an episode once where it delved into the adverse environmental effects of population control, even going so far as to suggest that peole should reduce the number of children they have, just to aid the environment. I know that this conflicts directlty with Roman Catholic doctrine which advocates the impotance of families and creating new life through loving relationships.

I recall an episode where they showed a graphic account of a rabbit having makeup tested on it. I thought this was far too upsetting for children, when I saw it I nearly cried. Then again, as with PETA, it seems when it comes to saving the Earth, terrifying children with the realities of harm to animals, seems to be seen in a positive light. I mean, we're talking about the kind of people who make fake happy meals, with images of animals being slaughtered on them to give to very small children.

Weird wikipedia translation

To quote the article: "The villains Captain Planet had to fight included characters such as Poland, France, United States of America, Great Britain, Planet Mars, and The Jews." The stuff the guy typed in looks ok, but what wikipedia translates it to is just weird/incorrect...

The End

I in some ways recall the end of this show but was curious if anyone knew the exact year that it was completed I looked on Internet Movie Data BaseIMDB, but all it talked about was some Captain Planet Move that came out in the 90's.

Movie Announcement?

Someone please cite a reference for the movie announcement. I am able to find no other source about it, not even a Warner Bros. press release. If the information is accurate, down to the date, it should be simple enough to post where that information came from.68.98.37.37 (talk) 17:21, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I found nothing but a page for a fan-movie (not an official one). Sounds like the guy was pulling your legs. Check out the user's edit history, too.76.111.34.55 (talk) 19:45, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Currently there is a citation, but if you look into it its a gossip site that cites wikipedia as a source. I am removing it for now. 70.244.45.215 (talk) 20:50, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Captain.gif

Al Gore?

Please explain how this article relates to Al Gore. I have removed it anyway --Maurice45 (talk) 17:58, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Some have labeled him Captain Planet for his environmental efforts. See [1], [2], and [3]. JCDenton2052 (talk) 18:25, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
