80/80

Growing up, Captain Planet one of my favorite cartoons. I couldn't wait to see a new adventure every Saturday, and my sisters and I would always pretend that we had Planeteer rings (nobody ever wanted to be the Heart guy, lol). The other day, I was thinking about what Captain Planet would be like in the present.

I believe that if a pro-environment, Earth-friendly show like Captain Planet was announced today, conservatives would have a fit. The producers would be accused of brainwashing our children with their "liberal agenda" and would likely even be threatened by some nutjobs. There's a good chance that the show would have to tone down its message, or even get shut down outright due to the backlash.

It's sad that this anti-intellectual and anti-science mindset has been allowed to pervade the once reasonable Republican Party. Nowadays, they're the only major political party in the world that denies the reality of man-made climate change. Really makes me wish for the good old days.

Rocko's Earth Day episode would have been pulled from rotation after Trump deemed it fake liberal propaganda :/

If Captain Planet existed today, she would be a woman, the planeteers would be all minorities, it would be on Netflix, and get Emmy nominations.

Indeed, CP would be detested by the far-right.

It WAS complained about back then. There were groups saying it was brainwashing kids into worshipping nature. They saw Gaea as a pagan goddess seducing the viewers away from Christianity

Captain Planet was essentially a preview of annoying SJW's.

All that would change over the past twenty years is adding about 30-60 pounds to all the planeteers, and the big 'ship' would be Linka and Gi.

Mister Rogers wouldn't be around nowadays either because it was a public broadcasting show and it wouldn't get funded.

1 out of the 5 was American. The others were African, South American, Asian and Rusian. If anything, everyone but the generic Asian were part of a minority.
Get educated please.

Captain Planet was lame. I only ever watched it as a kid because it came on right before better shows.

the asian girl would be replaced by a black or white male

No. China is far too big a media market to ignore by not tossing in a few tokens and Chinese-patronizing scenes.
Unless, of course, the Chinese government bans it for being blatantly anti-industry. There's always that chance.

Seriously? I guess I was too young to pick up on that back then. Still I feel like any negative reaction would be 10x worse today, considering the increasingly anti-scientific sentiment and with social media to amplify the offended right wingers now :/

yeah i made the mistake of looking at the uncharted lost legacy board and found posts complaining about the SJW pandering in the game retconning chloe into being indian O_o

it wasnt a retcon the game just gave details to her background. born in india and her mother moved her to australia when she was a child which is why she has an australian accent

the game is set in india so of course her background is going to come up when the treasure she is seeking is related to her cultural background
