Ok for real I never knew what the cast was like for Planeteers because I was just a kid and now I'm stuck in the wikipedia page.
Kwame? LeVar Burton.
Gaia? Whoopi Goldberg (s1-3)
Rigger (Greedly's Henchman) was John Ratzenberger (Cliff from Cheers, been in nearly ever Pixar film).
Verminous Skumm was Jeff Fucking Goldblum in season 1.
Duke Nukem was Dean Stockwell. Dr. Blight was Meg Ryan. Tim Curry was her computer-thing.
It's always a fun surprise to go back to an old cartoon and recognize so many names you didn't know back then. I see several longtime voice actors like Frank Welker, Mary Kay Bergman, Maurice LaMarche, Cam Clarke, and Jim Cummings, plus some unexpected one-off voices like Phyllis Diller and Ted Turner.
There was also a Captain Pollution summoned by using the Rings of Destruction and combining their polluting powers of Super Radiation, Deforestation, Smog, Toxics, and Hate....
... yeah, sounda like their agenda to me
Trump just made one all power ring to rule the Republicans. Called "I'll give you a bunch of money in foreign bank accounts if you vote for x"
They all caved.
FTFY
i think we should replace "hurt the poor" or "tax the lower class" with "racist shit", as the first two are pretty similar.
Every day I look at the news and the Don Cheadle version of Captain Planet looks more and more reasonable.
I don’t see oppress minorities on there
Or "Push Evangelical Theocracy"
Not enough rings
Also three of the Planeteers would have their rings stolen and be thrown into a concentration camp
Three? Who stays besides Wheeler?
Gonna guess Linka.
Does the Republican Party have any redeeming qualities at this point?
Those hats are effective social warning
Masochists love them
*And also corporate democrats, which is most of the democrat party.
Meme from 2050s be like "we once lived in a society"
Don't forget hating anyone who isn't a white, cis, hetero male.
You forgot all the shades of xenophobia.
If the show was rejigging to this, but without reminding me of the existence of The Republican party. Like it's just evil doers trying to get their plans done each week...m
NGL would watch.
Not Captain Planet!!! What the fuck??!!?!??
So Capn Planet was all about the little guys, the minority, the trans, the gays, all of it!! How dare you plant words in his mouth??
I like this meme, but why?????
where "pretend like you are a democrat"?
Dems check at least four of those boxes too but what am I going to do about it? At least in my state I'm able to vote in whatever primary I think is going to have more impact. My choices in the primaries never get picked though.
