Talk:Captain Planet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sorry but I don't know how to use the organizational tools that Wikipedia provides. It could also be a better ides to edit in some of the additions here into the Captain Planet and the Planeteers page, or maybe redirecting this page there, as there may be more people looking at "Captain Planet" first.

[edit] Thank you for your support
The article looks very good, it was just that some nasty spaces made your paragraphs surrounded by a dash-line. But after the fix, it looks quite nice. --Megara 23:07, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Duke Nukem
Ok, is it me, or does it just seem like there might be at least some tenuous connection between the Duke Nukem of Captain Planet and the Duke Nukem of the infamous games?
Barring obvious differences such as one is a radioactive monster which gamma rays don't affect like they do 99.9% of all known living things (and probably even cockroaches, which comprise somewhat less than .1%, as well).
Points of comparison are dressing habits (Hawaiian shirts, sunglasses, etc) Attitudes (very jockular) Build (seemingly muscular and athelitic types) --JD 08:31, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
- game hero Duke Nukem never wore a Hawaiian shirt, always a red undershirt. He also always wears jeans.
[edit] By Your Powers Combined...
I've added the voice of the Captain and a link to the IMDB page. Or at least at this time of writing, I'm just about to.
This edit brought to you by fergdude33, who thought his edit would automatically include his name. --Fergdude33 16:16, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "Hidden Character?"
Says here that Blark Flark, who was shown for all of seven seconds in episode 63, is needed to create Captain Planet. Call me paranoid as I am, but since the name utterly fails the Google test can someone who's actually seen that episode (it wasn't carried that far here) confirm or deny? --Kizor 23:28, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Superhero Box
Feel free to remove it if you think it should be, but I added a Superhero box to the article to give it a cleaner layout and to conform to the standards of Wiki superhero articles. I'd also be appreciative if someone could find a better picture of CP to use, as I used the logo, which is fairly poor resolution and includes other characters. 203.208.71.144 16:34, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
"Like many other superheroes, Captain Planet has a day job and secret identity which he uses to masquerade as a civillian. His alias is Dr. Henry DeGrazia, a high school physics "teacher" who reminesces of the hippy movement and eats hemp granola. The Captain fights environmental hazards even when assuming the false identity of Henry DeGrazia through his leadership in GAEA (The Galloway Association for Environmental Assistance). Captain Planet is currently a resident of Atlanta, Georgia" No.
[edit] Wiccan?
I notice the Captain Planet mythology (and the five rings) jive with a lot of Wiccan beliefs and teachings. Would you say this is his religion?--204.246.229.246 18:50, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
I dunno. Gaia is, in this series, obviously just a kind of general Mother Earth-figure. I don't think Captain Planet really has a religion (especially not if he's an "EVIL ATHEIST IMMORAL COMMUNIST GRRR" like the whackos who wanted him banned said), but he certainly seems to fit in with a range of pantheistic, spiritualistic and pagan beliefs. --Switch 15:20, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Co-relation to Satanism
Earth fire wind(air) water and heart(soul) are the meanings of the 5 points in the inverted pentagram (a Satanic Symbol) and by the powers combined, a superhuman figure is unleashed.... is the series subliminally messaging children? It was the most popular cartoon here in Australia when I was about 5, until some low-life decided to remove it from screening. We all remember it though.
Nah, dude, it's back on. I've caught a few episodes - good times, reminiscing about playing with my old CP action figure in the sandbox in back Melbourne. Possibly the most awesome propaganda ever. Definitely not Satanist though - the show was much more overt in its message to kids than that. THE POWER IS YOURS! --Switch 15:20, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
switch, please refrain from posting about captain planet when your knowledge on Satanism is little. both myself (a Satanist) and a Wiccan agree that it supports anti-xian themes, so please refrain from commenting crudely before you become more farmiliar and informed with the subject. Thank you-Trance
- Trolling is a no-no. --Switch 13:01, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Hey, can't Wiki research on who are the artists of Captain Planet? There is a long standing rumor in the Philippines that Filipinos animated this one. I really wonder if it's true.
[edit] Propaganda controversy
Has there ever been any kind of controversy about this show potentially teaching kids to protect the environment, often at the expense of logic, morality, and common sense (for instance, not to use an air conditioning unit even when it is dangerously hot)? Damien Shiest 21:02, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yes there has, from both pro-conservation and anti-conservation groups. It is discussed at Captain Planet and the Planeteers, the article about the show. This article, confusing though it may be, is only about the character of Captain Planet. --Switch 06:00, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
I remember seeing an episode once where it delved into the adverse environmental effects of population control, even going so far as to suggest that peole should reduce the number of children they have, just to aid the environment. I know that this conflicts directlty with Roman Catholic doctrine which advocates the impotance of families and creating new life through loving relationships.
[edit] Weird wikipedia translation
To quote the article: "The villains Captain Planet had to fight included characters such as Poland, France, United States of America, Great Britain, Planet Mars, and The Jews." The stuff the guy typed in looks ok, but what wikipedia translates it to is just weird/incorrect...
