Memory Lane
June 25, 2011 No CommentsRemember that old show “Captain Planet”? In this day and age, why hasn’t that been remade yet? I don’t know if I was the only one, but I wanted one of those power rings so bad (except heart. Lamest. Superpower. Ever.) For those of you who don’t know, “Captain Planet” was a show about five kids with power rings given to them from the earth, or the spirit of the earth, aptly named “Mother Earth”. These powers were, in order, Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and (ahem) Heart. When these powers combined, they made the title character Captain Planet, who possessed all these powers. Watching the show now, it seems pretty solid. It had a positive message (complete with G.I. Joe-style PSAs at the end), and was generally entertaining (The Captain’s “green” mullet and all). So in light of all that what with the environment being the talk of the town these days, why hasn’t this show been remade in some way? It would be a blast to see environment consciences kid’s blast polluters with super rings (that would so make my day). Anyway, what do you think about this? Would you like to see Captain Planet again?
