Nada más verla, con su cabello rubio y sus ropas azules, su corazón se aceleró. Era un adolescente, sus hormonas estaban revolucionadas, aún y así mirándola supo que aquel acelerón no era solamente por la pubertad.

Just wanted to say that as an American kid who grew up watching Captain Planet and the Planeteers, Wheeler being the one most in need of lessons didn't bother me.

"praying to Chekov (Pavel or Anton, it doesn't matter)"

Lol!

My Favorite Captain Planet Episodes: "Two Futures (Part 2)"

 “Traveling back in time so that he never becomes a Planeteer, Wheeler jeopardizes the survival of life on Earth. When Gaia gives him the chance to go into the future and see the consequences of his actions, Wheeler realizes how much he, along with every individual, contributes to the future of the planet.” - Synopsis taken from Wikipedia

Whenever a story called for a Planeteer to be selfish, short-sighted, or ignorant…nine times out of ten, they used Wheeler. 

Wheeler was, for functional reasons, woefully uninformed about nearly every issue ever addressed in every episode of Captain Planet and the Planeteers. And although it was (and is) probably accurate to depict Joe USA as having a myopic view of world events and international crises, it still kind of sucked for us American kids to see our continental representative serve as the narrative excuse for ecological exposition time and time again throughout the series. 

Wheeler was the Planeteer who wanted to get Linka an ivory necklace for her birthday AFTER Gaia commissioned the group to stop a pack of elephant poachers. Wheeler was the Planeteer who needed to be educated about the rigors of homelessness by getting amnesia after he was mugged in a slum. And of course, most notably, Wheeler was the one team member who ALTERED THE FABRIC OF TIME ITSELF just because he had to cancel a New Year’s Eve party that he was going to throw for all his friends.

Repeat: He messed up the time/space continuum for A PARTY!!!

Okay, so maybe there was also this minor life or death issue at hand where he and Dr. Blight were trapped behind radioactive ice that Cap. Planet couldn’t burst through because it was “polluted,” BUT WHATEVER.

In all honesty, it’s an innocent enough question for him to ponder; a basic “what-if” that even the most convicted souls must ask themselves once in a great while. Would My Life Have Been Different If Only I Had….insert secret desire here.

Unfortunately for Wheeler, for the remainder of the episode he gets to witness firsthand how his decision NOT to become a Planeteer had disastrous effects on the rest of the world in an alternate timeline. The show shifts mood considerably from part one and effectively becomes the Al Gore version of It’s A Wonderful Life, complete with Linka playing "Auld Lang Syne" on her Casio keyboard for the big finish. 

“Look, Daddy! Teacher says every time a Eco-villain’s plans are thwarted, another animal is taken off the Endangered Species List!!!" 

Without Wheeler, the Planet-eam was emotionally (and functionally) incomplete. They split up, and with no one around to stop the Eco-Villains from mucking up the past…the world descended into ecological chaos.

One of the saddest/most effective parts about this episode is seeing the alternate universe planeteers in all their jaded glory. Under the new world order, Gi becomes a hermetic recluse who trusts no bitch, but will help out the occasional dolphin. Kwame is stuck fighting a war against soldiers of fortune who want the only remaining verdant land in Africa. Any spare time he has left he spends teaching kids literacy skills on Reading Rainbow. 

Linka oversees food rations in Russia, where crops no longer grow because the ozone layer has been completely destroyed (of course). Ma-Ti and the rest of his South American tribe are all homeless after their land is rendered barren from over-farming. Oh yeah, and Hope Island becomes a sort of Las Vegas resort taken over by eco-creeps Hoggish Greedly and Rigger. *Sigh* It’s pretty dire. Gaia is even shown dying next to vats of toxic waste.

The one slightly absurd part about this section, for me, is that no matter how many times each his friends express how they DON’T recognize him and DON’T want to help him, Wheeler persists in trying to recruit the subsequent team member. Wheeler has to keep reminding himself over and over again that he never got a chance to know these friends in this alternate timeline.

The ecological stakes also seem to rise higher and higher with each Planeteer as we see yet another way that we f*cked up the planet. For Linka, Wheeler tries to approach her by recalling that she loved birds and could play their songs on her keyboard.

To which Linka replies…

”I used to love that…but, that was DECADES ago. Before pesticides wiped out ALL OF THE BIRDS.“

Yeah. ALL of them. Penguins too, bitches!

Eventually, Wheeler discovers that he really did have a wonderful life, the Eco-Villains’ plan gets foiled, and Linka manages to squeeze in a little promo time to show off her mad Casio skills, praying to Chekov (Pavel or Anton, it doesn’t matter) that Ryan Murphy is watching at home so that she can finally get a part on Glee. Linka truly does rock out "Auld-School” style, but then she tries to spice the mood up a bit by singing one of her traditional Russian folk songs…

Captain Planet Issue #1

I'ts finally here!

I've been sitting on this for like a week because I have no idea how to start.

It's been 30-ish years since the last time the world saw captain planet. I wouldn't be surprise if people nowadays are more familiar with it's parodies than the actual show

I had already given up on the idea that we would ever get another try at this franchise, so seeing this is a true miracle.

I've never tried to make a comic review before, so, I'll just try what comes more natural. I'll start with an overview and then go into details.

overview:

In general, this issue is fine. It's clearly the first part of an overarching plot, so it's mostly establishing things, the plot, the characters, the elements, etc.

it really does make me wonder how would someone new, that knows nothing about captain planet would feel about it. This is a full on reboot of the series, so you don't need previous knowledge, but I do wonder how would that affect the overall experience.

There are no huge differences with the original, the premise is still the same, but some of the characters are a bit different, and I'll get to it in a bit.

The art is gorgoeus, with distinctive faces and incredibly colorful backgrounds

Personally, I can't wait to see more of it, so I think it's time to go into

In depth: (spoilers ahead)

The comic starts with Gaia having to escape from somo military guys and here we get the first change. Gaia is no longer the spirit of the earth, but now a priestess from some undefined ancient cult. Yet, hope island still exists, the armed forces clearly invading it

A very different Gaia and a very different start. Wonder what role she'll play this time.

Regardless, she's trap, so she does the only thing she can...

GO PLANET!

Sorry, old habit ñwñ

I saw some interviews with the writer David Pepose, and I was a bit worried. He would often describe Captain planet as this otherworldly entity, with cloth made of fire, skin made of ice and impossibly ethereal blue eyes. So I'm happy to see he's still more or less the goofball we know and love ^^

Wait a second, you had 4 different covers for issue one and you're telling me you couldn't spare one of them to give us DINO CAPTAIN PLANET FIGHTING A METEOR?! Esta gente le teme al exito ¬-��

It cost 400,000 dollars to fire this weapon for 12 seconds.

So Gaia is captured and the rings go flying in search for their new users, Green lantern style. Including the virtues that guide them to each Planeteers (in their traditional order. Noted and apreciated)

Which is another big change, since in the original, it's the Planeteers that found the rings, but here, it's the rings that find them

A small complaint is that we only see Kwame getting his rings, while all the others already have theirs. But I get it, comic pages are a very limited resources.

This was the page where I knew this comic was in good hands -w-

Other big changes: Wheeler who was the more aloof of the original group, is now more responsible and heroic and Linka is now on an ecology group/punk rock band… I'm not complaining

And Gi is still the resident scientist, so no big changes there

Sidenote, I LOVE this panel XD

Gi being obvious, her crush not noticing, the guy going poggers realising what's going on and the guy in the back probably thinking "This darn kids and their hormones" XD

Single Handedly (literally) stopping a tidal wave is one heck of a confidence booster o3o

Is this going to be one of those cases of "thank god he's on our side… and an empath"?

And so, our comic ends with the introduction of what'll possibly be the main villain of this first arc.

Looten Plunder

And for anyone that thinks that's a ludicrous name, let me assure you, he's probably the most vanilla of this villains, or at least the least gimmicky.

I really can't wait to see more of this villains reinventions. There's really a lot they can do with them, specially today!

Also, another thing this new series is giving us. LAST NAMES!

I don't think we ever got them back in the day...

-Kwame Aboagye

-James Wheeler

-Linka Aleksandrovina Sokolob

-Gi Seung-Hyun

-Ma-Ti Yañes

Rereading this for this post, I enjoyed it even more. It's still hard to rate, since is a piece on a much bigger story, but I'm even more excited for what's coming next than before ^^

4/5 Go read it!

Planeteers as The Dragonet Prophecy

Wheeler - mudwing

Gi - seawing

Linka - she was supposed to be the Wings of sky, but it turned out to be an ice/sky hybrid and her hybridity is more noticeable than that of Sunny

Kwame - sandwing

Ma-Ti - nightwing

.

Just read the new Captain Planet comic. So far so good.

Gaia seems to be the newest guardian who calls Cap to help when Hope Island is invaded. She's captured but manages to send out the rings. Kwami is implied to have been a soccer star before a knee injury Wheeler is a union worker in Detroit Linka is a punk musician Gi is a scientist (and heavily implied to be at least bi) Ma-Ti full on has a leopard pin a man to the ground and says that before he got the ring he would have let the leopard kill the guy.

"Captain Planet" Returns in Comic Book Form

Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery have announced the return of Captain Planet with a new Captain Planet series. Captain Planet will be written by David Pepose and drawn by Eman Casallos.

"Five ordinary young people from around the world must become humanity's last hope after being chosen to wield elemental rings of Gaia, the High Priestess of Earth. Each Planeteer suddenly finds themselves equipped with abilities aligned with one of the world's elemental forces: Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Heart. And in the most dire circumstances, the five can combine these powers together to summon the globe's greatest champion — Captain Planet!

Kwame from Ghana wields the power of Earth. Wheeler hails from the United States and channels Fire. Linka's origins are in Russia and she can manipulate Wind. Gi traces back to South Korea and can control Water. Ma-Ti is from Brazil and uses Heart.

... Before these would-be eco-warriors can grasp their own newfound powers in pursuit of environmental justice, they're first going to have to learn to trust each other. It will be even more of a trial by fire experience when Gaia is kidnapped, forcing the inexperienced Planeteers to learn in action against the well-financed might of Lucian Plunder. Their first test against the ruthless exploiters of Earth won't be the hardest, but it all starts here!" (Dynamite Entertainment)

Captain Planet #1 goes on sale on April 23, 2025, the same week as Earth Day, naturally. The first issue sports covers by Mark Spears, Christian Ward, and Ben Oliver. The first six issues will also feature a connecting set of covers by Jae Lee and June Chung.

[incorrectplaneteers]

Kwame: Wow, you and Wheeler are back early from the movies. What happened?

Linka: We got kicked out because Wheeler wouldn't stop yelling diving scores as people jumped off the Titanic.

Wheeler: That last guy had a solid 8, I'm telling you!

[taliesin-the-bored]

Sir Kay is what happens when the Planeteers put together their rings without Ma-Ti

Kwame: Earth!

Wheeler: Fire!

Linka: Wind!

Gi: Water!

Kwame: Uh, didn’t we forget someone?

It is too late. They watch in confusion as a figure in antiquated armor rises from the ground.

Kay: With your powers combined, I am Sir Kay!

Linka: Who are you?

Kay: I am one who may endure Fire and Water like no other and grow as tall as the treetops.

Gi: We were trying to summon Captain Planet. Not that we’re not glad to see you. Um. Will you still fight with us?

Kay: Yes, but I will complain constantly and bully the younger ones.

Kwame: Heart. We forgot Heart. HOW ON EARTH DID WE FORGET HEART?!?

A few hours later…

Wheeler: Has it ever occurred to you that you’re a jerk?

Kay: Has it ever occurred to you that you’re me?
