‘Captain Planet’ #1 is the roadmap for an excellent reboot

I’m fully sold on this new version thanks to Pepose and Casallos.

I want to see Poison Ivy team up with Don Cheadle's Captain Planet.

Sadly the "No heroes" part of my "No gods, no masters, no heroes" credo means I know we're going to have to do it ourselves.

Plus them being fictional.

Can you believe I left this piece unfinished for 6 years?

It only took me an evening's worth of work to complete.

I want to reconnect with the things I like to draw. Turns out, most of my childhood and teenage favorites are still around or getting rebooted (looking at you #CaptainPlanet ).

This one's for the 90's kids out there.

I still believe there is a way for a current-day animator to reboot/remake #CaptainPlanet in a fun way. Something Ben10-y, action packed. Very Saturday Morning. But with current environmentalism theory.

And hell, let's keep the mullet. Tht is not something I usually support. But he wouldnt be the same w/out it.

Reminded by @augustocc of the Captain Planet and the Planeteers TV show, which apparently first aired 34 years ago.

"Each episode is followed by at least one "Planeteer Alert" clip [...] which discusses environmental-political and social-political issues and how the viewer can contribute and be part of "the solution" rather than "the pollution"."

Now that's a show worth rebooting!

We're watching The Fifth Element tonight.

Cinema Kid - "Wait, how many elements are there?"

Me - "Five."

Cinema Kid - "What are they?"

Me - "Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and .... Heart."

Cinema Kid - "Is that in the movie?"

Me - "No, that's just Captain Planet."

I remember watching Captain Planet regularly after school. I actually recall very little of the details of the episodes, but the overall concept (and the opening theme) definitely stuck with me, often via meme-ish references.

I thought this article was a good read - so interesting to learn more about the history, motivations and inspirations behind the show - and super relevant!
