I'm talkin' about anything.... shadow.

Nope- Heart is exactly what it sounds like. The power of THE Heart. It's the "power of love/compassion/friendship/etc." That's why "Hate" was Captain Pollution's fifth ring.

Also, "shadow" is NOT evil. It is simply the counterpart to light, and in the Chinese yin-yang duality, each is necessary for the other to exist, they are a balance to each other and are part of the "natural" order of the universe. Darkness and shadow do NOT equate to "evil" except in Western Christian mythology, where it is somehow (and inaccurately) attributed as being tied to the "dEvil". In older (pagan) beliefs, it was simply night and feminine power (Diana/Artemis/Hecate) as opposed to day and masculine power (aka Apollo or Sun)

Yup! I LOVE Reds, they're so awesome! And kind of cute, too! (I may be biased from watching Dot as a kid....)

You couldn't tell? Big, red, long ears, and long "arms"? Gah, and I thought you knew EVERYTHING!!

WHY??!! Just WHY??!! There is no NEED for a sixth, and it has NOTHING to do with the purpose behind him! "Mixed" elements are just that- a blend of two or more of the basic ones, and are not a "boost". Also, some elements simply don't mix well AT ALL. Fire and Water, for example, creates- steam. (Which is not only dangerous to the wielder themselves, but nearly impossible to control.)

So it looks like these two are gonna end up fighting a lot, huh? Because one wants to rid the world of ALL ANIMALS, and the other wants to protect marine animals? Did you even think this through? Ridding the world of animals does the exact opposite of protecting it. Like this is basic biology, go back to school, kid. Also why you gotta single out birds?

Whoa. That's a LOT of responsibility on your new self-insert. Also, you realise nobody can wield thunder, right? Like, thunder is a sound.

Oh, and what does "those with good rights against evil" mean? Does this mean he goes after people with the right to free speech as opposed to the people without free speech? What IS a "good" right? This doesn't make any sense!

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH

GET A LOAD OF THIS GUY, HE THINKS CHRISTIANS ARE PERSECUTED, LMFAO

AHAHAHAHAHA!!!

But to be real for a moment: you don't get to decide what "false" religious rule is, bruh. If some other individual or some other country decides to follow a religion you aren't a member of, then let them be! They're clearly happy with it, just as you are yours, you ain't gonna accomplish anything but making people want to fight you by shoving your ideals down their throats. Seriously, this is why people like me hate religious people like you. Your ideals are nothing but annoying ******** to me. Going on and on about God or Jesus or whatever is not going to "save" me, I don't need saving, and neither does anyone else that happens to not subscribe to your particular religious belief.

Heh, you caught something I missed, Net. Good points. I mostly ignored the religious aspects mentioned, as I just don't feel they have any place in CP in the first place. Heck, the kids in the show were all from different cultures, several of which don't even subscribe to Christian beliefs to begin with. Why would the Planeteers defend a system that several of them don't even follow, even over their own? That's just dumb.

Loved this show as a kid. I think my favorite episode was the two parter where the villains teamed up and made their own pollution rings, then summoned that insane Captain Pollution guy. I'd probably buy this if it came out on DVD. Shout!factory tried to release it but I don't think the first season sold all that well. They also had a ton of celebs doing voices in this series. Seems like Youtube has most of these so I might re-watch this series.

I remember watching the cartoon and liking it when I was a kid in the early 90s. I don't remember the characters or episodes, though. I saw the first episode on YouTube nearly a year ago and thought it was so bad, it's good.

^^ I love your brain. We need to gasbag about mythology and paganism sometime.

As far as the religion thing goes, every time it gets brought up in a thread I just cringe because it never ends well. I appreciate that we all have our own beliefs, however I think it's fair to say that you don't have to be religious to be a good person/care about doing the right thing. Some people are douchebags and are religious, some people are douchebags and not religious. Some people are awesome and religious, some people are awesome and not religious.

tl;dr - The Planeteers doesn't need to be Veggie Tales.

Slightly off topic, but all this CP talk reminded me of something I made a few years ago for... some reason?
