This was one of my favorite shows because it made you the superhero. You couldn’t tell me I wasn’t making the world a better place recycling my 3 cans lol….

No greater cartoons than cartoons of the 80’s/90’s Carmen Sandiego had a lot of great truth information in it as well … learned a lot growing up

The real hero!

Boomer and Gen X get mad at us for not being racist, hating the system, or having empathy in general. But all our stories from comics, to tv, to film taught us those things were bad.

To this day I still mean mug people when I see them litter

yaaaa daaaaaaaaaaaaamn riiiiiiiiiight! We are planetiers, you can be one too! Cause saving our planet is the thing to do! Omg I havent watched it in 30 years and still remember eeeeevvveerything lol

It worked . Haven't littered Since '96.

Taking this time to say Gaia was a melanated woman…Gaia is another word for Mother Earth…Cap was Blue…jus like the people on Avatar…shit deeper than surface level

@BGFCentral I thought it was blatant, not low key lol. (In the best way) I just wish we weren't currently trapped with Looten Plunder as president (seriously, look him up)

They aren’t redeemable is the correct take honestly

I just respect that the show would go all in on the heavy stuff when it had to. Wanna save the whales? No? Here's an episode of them getting harpooned with FUCKING BLOOD! Don't wanna save orangutans from poachers? Here's a dead juvenile one. Betcha feel bad now, dontcha?

Can they please put Captain Planet back on Prime 😭

“and we would’ve gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for you meddling teenagers”

roon got heart

They been talkin this climate shit my whole life. My mom was HEAVY on not wasting water or power and recycling. Havent heard shit about the Ozone layer in like 30 years

We’re the Planeteers, you can be on too. Cause saving our plan-et is the thing to do. Looting and polluting is not the way, here’s what captain planet…has to say

This is awesome. We need a reboot.

Money and time WELL spent

We need to Bring this your of energy back and change some health care law and these insurance companies that being greedy and allowing millions to die

I loved Captain Planet. Its was a good cartoon. I would rather have my kids watch that and understand why pollution is bad. Not playing roblox and being groomed by pedophiles. Life was better back then.

Umm eight year old me totally understood mission.

Such effective propaganda 30+ years later and I still know the words and music to the theme song

Listen, they gave us cartoons that basically trained us to be Communist Ecoterrorists. Why they expecting anything less?

🤯🤯🤯🤯

"Weeks after real disasters"- you do know that 1980s animation did not work fast enough to respond to real events, right? These episodes airing in proximity to real disasters is only because these sorts of disasters were common and predictable.

Captain Planet tackled storylines no show had the stones to do. Nuclear war, gang violence, drug addiction, crippling poverty...

@DymondMarie ESPECIALLY if you grew up in California. People compliment on my environmental consciousness but I always tell them it’s been ingrained in me since youth.

Good. Positive propaganda works just think about the negative now n hows that been working ?

A fucking legend

This show is the reason I don’t MESS with Texas!

I’m so happy I never watched Captain Planet and instead watched dragon ball z

We need a reboot.
