about the Eco-Villians, i think they are bumbling idiots you know i would think if they had all these resources, they could hire a sniper and shoot all these damn planeteer kids and end the campaign against capitalism they initiated.

They're eighties villians, all they care about is money. They just do so in outlandishly polluting ways.

Captain Planet! He's our hero!!! .. or whatever.. damn you, now I won't be able to sleep. I guess I agree though, sounds like this was just a very random though.

This is slightly off topic, but Ken Begg of Jabootu's Bad Movie Dimension has a review of one of the episodes that is quite enjoyable (the review, not the episode...):

Captain Planet was created to fight pollution, and his weakness is...pollution! Yeah, that's helluva smart!

And I've always wondered; why 'Wind, Water, Earth, Fire, and Heart'? Aren't they elements? Shouldn't it be 'Oxygen, hydrogen, uranium, carbon, and sodium?' GO URANIUM MAN! THE POWERPLANT NEEDS YOU!

They're primary elements, like in alchemy for one...

Captain Planet, he's our hero, gonna take poluttion down to zero. He's our powers magnified, and he's fighting on the planet's side... "By your powers combined I am Captain Planet!"

Captain Planet is even lamer than Joe Dirt, at least Joe's mullet wasn't green.

Yeah, it's more like the traditional five elements of non-clerical magic (like Shamanism in Slayers): Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Spirit/Heart/Mind/Astral.

Ah, my favorite example of American eco-Stalinism, Captain Planet. That review kicks all kinds of ass, Spanky.

I'm pretty sure the fifth element was ether or aether, which was said to be what celestial objects were made of.

That is seriously one of the funniest things I've read all year.

Ahhhhh. Good ol' Jabootu. Long and funny. I think Mr. Begg was a little soft on The Cross and the Switchblade, but I have no reservations about trashing religious propaganda. Did anybody read the review on Highlander 2 by Jason McIssac(sp)?
