Awesome show, though the first three seasons are the best.

I feel like the only person on the planet who actually liked watching Captain Planet. I didn't like his character, but I liked the Planeteers. Ma-Ti and Gi were my favorites. I also admit that it got me into recycling and my family started doing it too. lol Oh, and that Rocko's Modern Life episode kinda did that too. lol
I'm pretty sure I watched the entire series and I liked the character redesigns in the last couple of seasons, mostly Gi's. Didn't like that new intro it got, though...a bit...um...I dunno. lol Just wasn't for me. The rap was too cheesy even for me who likes cheese.
Thinking back, I guess that would be considered "woke"...be more mindful of the outside world around you and nature and all that jazz, but I dunno. It was informative and we really should be taking care of the habitats of animals. I mean, I view it like this...I wouldn't want anyone coming into my home and tossing their garbage and junk all over it or coming in my home and smoking and stuff, so shouldn't the same apply to animals in their habitats?

I don't think the ring would've worked in that way anyway. You have to be pure of heart to actually use it, I thought, which was why Gaia chose him. I do recall an episode vaguely where Ma-Ti tried to use his ring, but couldn't. I forgot why, but his is very specific to emotion and stuff unlike the others.
