...Captain Planet? Wasn't he just a huge advertisement for recycling bins?

No one can be a better Captain Planet than Ted Tuner himself. . .
I got moderately excited when I misread this as "Cat Planet 2011".

Words cannot convey the reaction to this post.
Let's just say, I've heard enough things to come to the conclusion I posted. There's caring for the planet, and then there is not caring for the human race.
From what I've seen, each ecovillain in the old cartoon series took pollution to the far extreme. Never was there a villain that took saving the planet to the far extreme. To me, Al Gore would fill in that missing villain.
Also my info on him comes from talk radio from over several years. Hence why I feel this way.
But regardless, It should be interesting to see if the message stays the same, or has gotten corrupted.

Captain Planet isn't over the top? He doesn't go overboard?
Bare minding that the true moral of the movie seems to be leaning more to "Protect Humanity, Oppose Natural Forces" moreso than "Save Ecosystems, Defeat Evil Corporations".

Now, to tell the truth, that sounds interesting. Personally, I'm not a big fan of Al Gore, but I haven't really actually learned much about him, just trusted hearsay. That definitely isn't the most accurate source, but if it is somewhat true, that is quite an interesting outlook on it. There's certainly enough environmentalists out there that would be more than willing to consider eradicating humans for the good of the planet.
It kinda reminds me of the plot of Tron Legacy. A guy so bent on perfection and cleansing the world, that he was perfectly willing to destroy innocent sentient life. It certainly led for an interesting plot, and I would be quite wowed if the makers of Captain Planet chose to do something similar with a new villain.

What part of 'RETIRED' don't you understand?
Really? I always thought the moral of Captain Planet was "Protect Ted's Corporate Empire, Profit from irrational fear of global warming.

Well, hell, that works better than my drivel. We'll just go with that.

"...What?"
This is less a gripe about Captain Planet and more a reaction to the practice of reheating old stuff to capitalize on sentimentality. As much as I love the stuff from the late eighties / early nineties (which is when I was going up, as a lot of young adults today were. Come to think of, maybe that's why I'm so fond of it), I will be glad when this current wave of nostalgia finally ceases. Most of what it's produced is tripe (with exceptions. I'm willing to consider the new My Little Pony as such an exception).
Then, when it becomes hip and profitable to reintroduce more recently popular children's stuff, I won't recognize it near as well and thus the effect won't personally come across as bastardization. Yay!
