Ideas for a Captain Planet movie/TV reboot?

[ninja-zero]

Captain Planet deserves a comeback. Any ideas how?

Since Gaia is named after the Greek primordial being, Gaia would blend herself with Greek mythology. That goes for Captain Planet when he was formerly a Titan named Iapetus!

As for the Planeteers? I once thought of adding a sixth Planeteer as Australia was left out. But now, deciding on something like this.

Arc 1: Captain Planet & the Planeteers vs the Eco-Villains & Eurybia/Captain Pollution (changing gender)

Arc 2: Captain Planet & the Planeteers vs the Eco-Villains & Chaos (replacing Zarm)

Arc 3: Captain Planet & the Planeteers vs the Eco-Villains & Cronus the Titan of Time
- Adding a time travel arc where the Planeteers travel through various time periods to stop the villains from polluting the timeline. In the end, they travel to the future where Cronus is made the new spirit of Earth. And the Australian would be the leader of the resistance, carrying the Ring of Heart.

What do you all think so far?

SNL skit.


Jk. Curious to see what you all come up with. Sounds tricky but with potential to surprise.

Now, I never watched Captain Planet and have only seen reviews for it...

But by god it probably could be handled a lot more tastefully. There are topics that are hard to talk about, but they still need to be talked about.

80's cartoons had clear black and whites, good and bads. Very rarely was there such a thing as pure human error. As in the case with oil spills and forest fires. Most people aren't going to be setting forest fires for sh*ts and giggles as Captain Planet usually depicted its villains doing. "I'm going to wreck the environment FOR FUN!"

Like...no. I would make room for human error and fixing those errors. Accidents happen, it's just a matter of what to do afterwards.

Will there occasionally be a villain that's totally apathetic to the damage they're causing? Or, as I think about in the 70's Lorax (summarized):
"If I shut down my factory, people will lose their jobs and they won't be able to support themselves"
"Okay, I see your point, but I don't have an answer for that"

This probably is one of the better times to make a Captain Planet reboot, since there are writers who do genuinely care about good writing, plotting, and characterizing.



Also yeah, get Australia in there. Maybe make them Aboriginal (or Maori, even though that's technically New Zealand)

Knowing our luck, they'd get Greta Thunberg to voice Gaia

Who wants a female Australian as the sixth Planeteer? Plus with the ring of thunder & lightning!

I have thought of a live action cast for Captain Planet!

- Kwame: Shameik Moore
- Wheeler: Froy Gutierrez
- Linka: G. Hannelius
- Gi: Lia of ITZY/Rosé of BLACKPINK/Mina Myoui/Sorn of CLC
- Ma-Ti: Marcel Ruiz
- Gaia: Bianca Lawson
- Captain Planet/Iapetus: Robbie Amell

I don’t know about the Eco-Villains yet.

But how would you all picture an Aussie planeteer fit in?

Plus in a CP movie, bring back MJ’s Earth Song!!!

Let's try to avoid that!

This fan film is awesome. A cartoon sequel taking place many years later.

It would be nice to bring back "Planeteer Alert" with all those messages.

Imagine in the new "Planeteer Alert", at the start of it, the live action version of the Planeteers, Captain Planet & Gaia (from the movie) gather together to prepare a PSA speech based on the lesson the episode showed you.

Some PSAs will bring some Planeteers together, some will bring in Gaia. All PSAs will bring CP into the mix. Even bring all of them together. Just trying to picture them.

Why not? She used to play theatre until she was about 11–12. (Dated 30 May 2015)

(following a hard recovering period, the daughter is now fine again. She dances several time each week, and likes to play theatre)

I never understood why they didn't call Captain Planet the moment something was up. The guy solved every problem in 5 minutes.

Also, no one ever seemed shocked by Captain Planet. There's a magical blue-crystal man flying around in a light dom outfit. He has grass for hair. If he gets dirty, he dies.

NONE of this was ever cause for new characters to say, "Hey. . . that's unusual!"

Maybe one of the new angles could be a government agency or weapons manufacturer trying to dissect Captain Planet to find out the secret of his powers or something.

Edit: While I'm thinking about it, they had access to those solar powered vehicles that could have revolutionized the entire world. And they handed them over to nobody. Way to blow it, Gaia. "Take the Geocruiser! But don't show Bowing. I won't those guys out of business like, yesterday."

If Captain Planet is rebooted, he needs a serious character change (origin story, strength and weaknesses). The Planeteers are easier to relate too, but Captain Planet himself just came out of nowhere.

Planeteer Alert

Ride a sailboat to reduce pollution, even at intercontinental distances.

I used to see it sometimes because I think it came on TBS before wrestling once in a while. I had a crush on the blonde chick who was voiced by Kath Soucie, that's literally all I remember.

Her name is Linka, and she's from the Soviet Union. As later revealed, Russia to be more exact.

[Leo656]

Yeah, well... she'd get it.

You need to pipe up more often, son.
