For once I want to see chuds set a good example of their advice to us that we should embrace having our ideas challenged.
I have to do that every single day and I’m not allowed to complain about it, yet the smallest hint that anything they’re watching will present an idea that disagrees with them? BLASPHEMER!
During the middle of the epidemic, Captain Planet addressed the issue of HIV/AIDS in its episode, “A Formula for Hate.” The episode challenged the audience to put aside ignorance and fear to reduce discrimination against people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. The plot of the episode parallels White’s situation after his diagnosis with AIDS. In the episode, the townspeople learn about a student’s (Todd Andrews) HIV-positive diagnosis. The townspeople turn against Andrews and his family, going as far as burning his mother’s vegetable stand. Captain Planet and the Planeteers intervene by educating the townspeople on the virus, dispelling the misperception that HIV cannot be transmitted by casual contact. As a result, Andrews and his family were once again accepted by the townspeople and no longer discriminated against.
In 1994, Captain Planet addressed the issue of gang and gun violence in the episode, “Teers in the ‘Hood.” The episode’s plot revolved around a shootout between two rival gangs and The Planeteers became caught in the middle of the conflict. Captain Planet and the Planeteers defused the situation by talking about the peace messages of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy and Mahatma Gandhi. The episode also debunked the myth that gangs offer positive communities for its members. After two of the Planeteers infiltrated one of the rival gangs, the gang quickly pressured them to use violence in order to gain acceptance.[1]
TIL the Captain Planet cartoon had an episode dedicated to the dangers of over population with the planeteer alert telling you not to have too many kids [2]
kek, what a show, man. It reminds me of the Osmosis Jones episodes where they have to fight Nick O'Teen

I'm still hoping for a revival where the villains kill Captain Planet in episode 1, and the Planeteers have to establish an international ecoterrorist insurgency.
You jest but this is legit something me and a couple friends discussed one time, Captain Planet needs a reboot.
But I'd spare captain planet and make him comically edgy. The seven year old boy in me just wants to see cool anime fights, but now they're educational!
I watched that episode again recently and it’s so stupid how it goes from “burning a congressman’s house”
to “killing a bunch of miners by tossing them down a shaft” 
MFW the show dunks on wheeler the American half the time (Linka calls him an imperialist dog episode 1.) And ‘social activism’ is wrong? Yeah, because how dare TV try to be good for us.
MFW Family Guy is too intellectually stimulating for most westerners.
was Gi supposed to be from the PRC? which would mean two communist planeteers? (at least until the collapse pretty sure they changed Linkas origin after and made her less based)
Gi | Captain Planet and the Planeteers Wiki:
Gi never reveals what Asiatic country she is from. She does, however, have friends from Thailand (Nuok), whom she met through school, as learned in the episode Beast of the Temple. She has been shown as able to read both languages: Mandarin Chinese and Japanese, and it was later revealed by Barbara Pyle herself that Gi was based upon a Malaysian activist, although she was made to represent all East and South Asians. Gi's dolphin friend's name was named Kisa, as learned in the episode A Mine is a Terrible Thing to Waste Part II, and this name has roots in Japanese culture. The name 'Gi' is Korean, but is a predominantly male one, hence she is often assumed to be Korean by fans.
"Oh PHEW! I was afraid that maintaining a habitable planet might require me to no longer benefit from the disgusting exploitation of the global south and anyone who looks like they may have had ancestry there in the past 3,000 years. Thank God there are non-Woke shows for people like me!"Ok which ever one of you is posting shit like this on “r/askconservative” respect that’s a good ass bit
Environmentalism without "woke" just sounds like eco-fascism tbh.
Keep the work mob away from my Captain Planet!
