I always thought Captain Planet was some kind of weird controlled opposition on Ted Turner's part, because the villains were just too ridiculous and even too cartoony for a fucking cartoon, and that's saying something considering comic book villains who form organizations with the words "evil" and "doom" in them
Oh right, I forgot they named their villains some really funny stuff like Sly Sludge, Verminous Skumm or Hoggish Greedly. Even for a cartoon it's a bit too much, lol.
Know what was a better environmentalist cartoon
For me personally either once upon a forest or Nausicaa. Especially Nausicaa I'd argue is one of my favorites overall.
I am not entirely opposed to saving the environment but I have some issues with the mentally ill people we call our leaders pushing more and more restrictions on us. The thing we need is progress and in some regards we already HAVE some solutions(like nuclear power) our dear leaders do not like to hear about.
Nausicaa/Princess Mononoke/Ghibli films in general are cheating. They don't have nearly as much woke infection, and an older target audience, so their environmentalist message is much more nuanced.
