Heart is the dumbest power

Except that one single episode where it was the most important power

Because it was the dumbest power and they needed an episode to 'prove' it wasn't worthless

(It's worthless)

Heart has potential to be terrifying and manipulative, Ma-Ti is just thankfully someone with no imagination to actually wield it to its true potential IE mind controlling the world governments into brutalizing society to be clean and environmentally friendly.

I mean, poo poo, those kids created perpetual clean energy for flying robot car/submarine/planes that they could have told the world about. And yet, they play nice with all of these stupid, polluting business maniacs who always come back to do some other dumbshit like build a time machine to sell nukes to hilter. Because somehow that will maybe turn a profit.

I think it's for the best that Ma-Ti was morally opposed to enslaving humanity via mind control.

And thus Duke Nukem, Hoggish Greedly, Vermin Scumm and Dr. Blight all become cabinet members that constantly get pardoned in the reboot's setting.

Hoggish Greedly actually gives up on polluting (for his sons sake, and also he discovers going green is profitable) and I think in one episode it's revealed that Dr. Blight has some kind of disease that's going to kill her in a few years or something so she's not much of a threat long term (what with the whole being dead thing).

But yeah, Ma-Ti probably should bend his moral code a little bit and mind control the guy who's a living nuclear bomb and the drug dealing rat monster into either A) being better people or B) standing still long enough for the other planeteers to murder them.

Edit:

I looked up a list of Captain planet episodes on Wikipedia to try and find the one where it was revealed Dr. Blight has a disease, instead I found this:

"Greed Is the Word"
"Hoggish Greedly is behind a scheme to get rid of the manatees, but the Planeteers call Captain Planet, who defeats Greedly and saves the manatees."

Why the gently caress does Hoggish Greedly have a grudge against manatees?

Edit Edit:

"An Eye for an Eye"
"Hoggish Greedly is behind a scheme to wipe out all the river dolphins in existence, but the Planeteers call Captain Planet, who stops Greedly."

Wait, did Hoggish Greedly just hate all marine mammals? Was that his thing?

Edit Edit Edit:

"No Horsing Around"
Hoggish Greedly is behind an attempt to get rid of the horses as well as Ma-Ti and his native American friend, but is stopped by Captain Planet.

I guess he also hates land mammals.

The we've got fleas ep. TKO was a half hour special, so some sources count it as 25 while other sources count it as 25/26, so Fleas is either listed as the 27th or 28th

So, Dendy, who is not a fighter, has a POW Level of 1, .9 more than KO.

Dendy has put all her points into a high INT stat, making her a glass cannon while KO is the tank who is always getting ganked and needing to be healed so he doesn't get any XP.

I did like how the episode was a not very thinly veiled commentary on the comics industry, its creators, and publishers. At least, thats how it read to me.

I was wondering about what the POW cards could be an allusion to in this scenario, and that kinda makes sense. It's not a perfect comparison but it fits well enough, especially "I can't help but love these even though I know they're mindlessly exclusionary and that bothers me."

I'm not sure if it was an allusion to anything directly (though I'm sure they had one or two things in mind) but more trying to help kids who may be coming aware of the world around them deal with the immorality inherent to the capitalist system. Try to change what you can but don't torture yourself.

Hmmm...
What probably happened is that a bunch of heroes got into fights with a bunch of villains. Collateral Damage happened, some landmass went flying and created lakes in their wake and islands where they landed. One dude was probably level 100 and suplexed a dude into Australia, fracturing the continent. Probably nothing more complicated than that.

It's just supposed to be a weird mish-mash of 80s and 90s comics, anime, cartoons, and video games. The fact that Captain Planet exists, along with one of the kids that summons him, seems to show it's nothing post-apocalyptic.

It's a just a cool, weird, crazy world that's kind of like ours.
