Let's see, by being born human and from North America (and no magic ring ), I'm destined to be part of the problem rather than the solution. Unfortunately, Ted Turner's none-too-subtle message that being born human beings made us part of the pollution epidemic by birth raised some concerns.

Besides, the first season contains the memorable "Mission to Save Earth" and "Two Futures" and personal favorites "Beast of the Temple," "Ozone Hole," "Deadly Ransom," and "Tree of Life" and is a lot better than the drek that it became as the seasons went on. That's all well and good, of course and for taking that big of a stand for his beliefs, Ted Turner is owed enormous credit. Our youngest generations were taught to protect and preserve our planet from the whole sorry.uh.mess that is the pollution epidemic. Love it or hate it, "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" was proselytizing at its craftiest. If not for being from different parts of the world (pollution being the world's problem, don't you know), they were pretty much nondescript from one another (and, because Ted Turner is so politically correct, the huge tool is from North America). The Planeteers were kind of the same way. The assorted.uh, trash.in the form of the antagonists in CP's rogues gallery were only really distinguishable by name. With these five powers combined, they summoned Earth's "greatest champion,".Al Gore, is that you? No Captain Planet, a flying Smurf with a green mullet buzzed around Earth, delivering roundhouse suckerpunches to the faces of those guilty of driving trucks. "Earth! Fire! Wind! Water! Heart?" (Sometimes, it's best not to ask.) The Best Showing of "Subtle" Proselytizing of Youth.
