If the show was rejigging to this, but without reminding me of the existence of The Republican party. Like it's just evil doers trying to get their plans done each week...m
NGL would watch.

There was also a Captain Pollution summoned by using the Rings of Destruction and combining their polluting powers of Super Radiation, Deforestation, Smog, Toxics, and Hate....
... yeah, sounda like their agenda to me
I don’t see oppress minorities on there
Ok for real I never knew what the cast was like for Planeteers because I was just a kid and now I'm stuck in the wikipedia page.
Kwame? LeVar Burton.
Gaia? Whoopi Goldberg (s1-3)
Rigger (Greedly's Henchman) was John Ratzenberger (Cliff from Cheers, been in nearly ever Pixar film).
Verminous Skumm was Jeff Fucking Goldblum in season 1.
Duke Nukem was Dean Stockwell. Dr. Blight was Meg Ryan. Tim Curry was her computer-thing.
It's always a fun surprise to go back to an old cartoon and recognize so many names you didn't know back then. I see several longtime voice actors like Frank Welker, Mary Kay Bergman, Maurice LaMarche, Cam Clarke, and Jim Cummings, plus some unexpected one-off voices like Phyllis Diller and Ted Turner.
Also three of the Planeteers would have their rings stolen and be thrown into a concentration camp
Every day I look at the news and the Don Cheadle version of Captain Planet looks more and more reasonable.
Does the Republican Party have any redeeming qualities at this point?
The 'both sides' narrative is a trap that sabotages progress. Yes, establishment Democrats often disappoint. No, they're not the revolutionary force we need. But pretending they've done nothing while Republicans actively dismantle democracy is how we lose forever.
Democrats have:
And they did it while contending with
Republicans create systemic damage through tax cuts for rich, stacked courts and gerrymandering, Democrats spend years cleaning up, while getting blamed for 'not fixing it fast enough. Voters get disillusioned, GOP regains power, Repeat
We can demand better while acknowledging reality: Celebrate the IRA's climate wins and Push for Green New Deal Applaud student debt relief and Fight for free college Call out corporate Dems, without equating them with literal fascists Vote in more progressive Dems in primarys Like AOC, like Kat Abughazaleh and like Zohran Mamdani
But most importantly: STOP pretending incremental progress and active destruction are equally bad. That's not idealism it's suicide by political purity.
Not Captain Planet!!! What the fuck??!!?!??
So Capn Planet was all about the little guys, the minority, the trans, the gays, all of it!! How dare you plant words in his mouth??
