It wasn't on purpose?

I mean, pink being the girl, yellow being asian, and black being black was BY ACCIDENT?

What are the odds?

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm pretty sure the gender dynamics were intentional, but the racial dynamics were reportedly an accident that went unnoticed for a little while. But keep in mind they were reportedly an accident, and I can't find the interview where it was mentioned anymore. 'Random person on the internet recalls having read it once' is not really a reliable source.

EDT: And pink was female because the in-costume footage from the Japanese show they used clearly had a female Pink Ranger. Boobs and a skirt are hard to pass off as male. With regards to racism, my theory is that Pink and Red were always going to be white people, since even when studios are trying for diverse casting there's still an over-representation of white people as leading men/women.

[–]leftsideofthelane 471 points472 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

From a visual standpoint I prefer that. It creates characters that standout and don't just blend into the background.

If a character has good visual design they can be differentiated easily just from their color palate.

Examples:

Futurama

Street Fighter

TMNT

Mortal Kombat

South Park

I'll let you guess this one.

Ruh Ro Raggy

Heart was the most bullshit power ever...

[–][deleted] 436 points437 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nope, it was the most dangerous power since it was pretty much just telepathy (when applied to Captain Planet, it's what made him animate and conscious). It was also the only power that could be used without the ring- when they all lost their rings in the Himalayas, everyone but Ma-Ti was surprised that he could still communicate with a Snow Leopard, while they were reduced to muggle status.

Ma-Ti was given the Heart ring because Gaia knew he wouldn't abuse it. It only seemed stupid because it was a powerful weapon in the hands of a person who was careful not to unleash it's full power.

A comic artist friend of mine has a pretty twisted version of Captain planet he wants to draw someday. In his version Ma'Ti is killed and Captain Planet becomes a renegade environmentalist that begins to eradicate humans indiscriminately, because of their selfishness and propensity to pollute.

I had a huge crush on the ginger. I went nuts for the whole bad boy who's really good inside thing.

Actually Heart has the power to control Will. He could make everyone his personal slave, but he was too pussy to use it on people and just used it on animals.

Some other redditor made a rather well thought out post about it. Had +300 karma.

I like to think when he got older he used it to get laid all the time. Also, this.

Going by Don Cheadle canon (yeah, that's a thing- deal with it) the "Heart" kid was pretty much special needs.

If used for Evil I'm sure it could be manipulated into mind control. Or heart control. Just make the polluters have heart attacks. Problem solved.

Nope, not even shitting you. I closed this thread and didn't go back to it until I saw your comment. You know, not that there's any way for you to know that or anything.

Also-- does anyone realize how awesome the voice cast for Captain Planet was?

LeVar Burton, Whoopi Goldberg, Ed Asner, John Ratzenberger, Dean Stockwell, James Coburn, Martin Sheen, Hulk Hogan, Jeff Goldblum, Meg Ryan, Sting, Malcolm McDowell.

I had it so good and I didn't even know it.

I remember playing Captain Planet as a kid. No one was allowed to be the Captain because he was too powerful-- so we had to play as a Planeteer. And I remember being conflicted. The fire ring was far and away the coolest ring... but the guy who had it was a ginger.

As long as I didn't end up with heart, that's all that mattered. Heart sucked.

Incorrect. Ms Frizzle is actually a Timelord and the bus is a TARDIS.

I'm guessing you didn't live in the US? Magic School Bus was on PBS and Captain Planet was aired in Kids WB which was on tons of local stations.

[–]CapMcAwesome 20 points21 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Don't see how that would be a problem as long as you had a television and some bunny ears. Magic School Bus was on PBS and Captain Planet was in syndication all throughout the 90s early in the morning.

The top one is Captain Planet. What is the bottom one?

This kind of thing was always very common. It was just about being politically correct even though a group like this coming together would be highly unlikely.

The top image is from the series "Captain Planet" and the bottom is from "Magic School Bus" 2 complete different series. The photo implies that the kids from Magic Schoolbus grew up to be the kids from Captain Planet.
