- Did the iconic 90s cartoon instill environmentally sound values upon our impressionable youth? Maybe...but it definitely inspired too many mullets.

Am I the only one who actually loved heart as a child? I honestly think that heart represents love and compassion. As an animal lover he represents that love for creatures. I don't think heart was useless. Honestly they should bring it back, just how they did with Carmen Sandiego.
You're not the only one... Maty was my absolute favorite character of this show... I liked Linka and Gi as well but somehow Maty was my favorite... and I also found his element (heart) one of the best powers....
The power rings and captatn planet basically represent the pentagram which heart represents aether/spirit captian planet being the embodiment of the elements and a living pentagram
No your not alone his power was impressive problem is most people dont embrace love and or compassion!! So instead they embrace a kind of artificial love if you will which more a kind of artificial caring but it's really hate disguised as love (cognitive dissonance). So if have compassion you can't relate to it.
Venus Cordero it was similar to the show dino riders where the good guys used telepathy and kindness to speak with the dinosaurs and the bad guys used mechanical contraptions placed onto dinosaurs’ heads to make them obedient to them.
Heart was an amazing power and necessary to call Captain Planet 🙂❤️
I'm like 6 mins in and I really don't appreciate how negative she's being about this show, there was a reason it ran so long....smh.
It's a great show. I don't know why she's (or whoever wrote this video) is finding fault over the littleness thing! I remember begging my mom to stay up to watch the captain planet special one night.
marlon young she lammmeee for making this video
Yea I thought the same thing, I was like where is the guy that does these too. I like him better he isn’t so negative and mean about the shows. This girl is super mean and negative, like what did she expect this was a little kid show!!
It’s like she is making fun for it being a kids show, not cool. I LOVED this show growing up and even as an adult I have never ever thought about it like she is talking about it!
Glad that I'm not the only one who felt like this.
She's probably never seen an episode. Just reading a script. The show was corny, but all kids stuff was corny back then.
In the show he basically can control all living things...how is tht not the strongest lol
Water is the most powerful its everywhere think blood bending from Avatar the last airbender.
@@douglasmcfarland9040 You ain't bending no blood if someone with the Heart ring makes you give them your Water Ring.
Why would you consider a heart the lamest power when it runs basically Our Lives. A lot of hate, not enough HEART
JayJack 661 and you can communicate with animals
first of all she's joking. second, it's a terrible joke, like all her other jokes, like every joke on every video on this channel.
Like how we are now. Honestly, they should bring back the show and put Trump as a villian.
@@jonplaud Aspects of him were in the show. Ted Turner hated Trump.
Probably because the show kind of made a joke of it.
Empathy and telepathy are really powerful if used right.
You’re weird. Why hate on such a positive show.
Becuase it was badly written and being positive dosent make it a good show
Agree! She started off hating right away
I was one of the kids growing up to this show I loved it. I miss the cheesey lines of the 90s.
I totally disagree with that.
I totally agree with that.
This show is what got me interested in the environment and I am now studying environmental science because of this show's influence!
So the brainwashing worked 😂
This show is what convinced me to start polluting as an adult! Thanks Captain Planet!
@@ottoandersson2216 Not a bad thing to want to help the environment.
You forgot that Margot Kidder (Lois Lane) voiced Gaia in the New Adventures. And also Heart is totally misunderstood. It basically made Ma-Ti a telepath! The ring portrays mind-reading, astral projection, communication, sonar, empathy, and if Ma-Ti wanted to trample you with Rhinos, or sic a pack of wolves on you, he could. Heart had MIND CONTROL! This makes it the best ring full stop.
She gave no depth of explanation to the black and brown characters, who knew
I still remember an episode where they tried to summon captain planet but heart ring was missing so he was really frail and colorless. It was to show heart is important too, the only episode I remember Mati being useful
What was that episode called? I would like to check it out.
@@Crazygirl11683 it was called "nigga ain't got no heart"
This
He also saved a village from a locust swarm and allowed the planeteers to combine powers despite being very far away from each other.
I remember that episode
There was an episode that explained the reason for the element of Heart was bc Captain Planet needed the ability to emote and have feelings. They should have expanded on it and made it where he could have influenced ppl more. As 80's-90's kids everything was already sugarcoated. We had enough bubblegum and fun in other cartoons and multimedia, we needed some harsh truths. The show wasn't perfect but it was needed bc adults weren't too keen on sharing the truth w each other, let alone minors. Maybe if more kids shows were like this the Amazon wouldn't be burning....
Not everything is for everybody so I get that many wouldn't care for CP, but your delivery was condescending and kinda fckd up.
if more shows were like this, McDonalds and other fast food would go bankrupt or stop buying meat from tropical countries, use palm oil and spill untreated waste straight to water bodies.
Bad writing.
Heart is the glue that makes him!
I still dont get why Hollywood hasnt found a way yet to give us a live action Captain Planet movie. We got Dora first before Captain Planet. Wtf.
And while still a superhero movie it will be a nice change from DC and Marvel movies
Last time I heard Leonarfo DiCaprio was interested in producing a live version.
We already got the best live action Captain Planet. His name is Don Cheadle and its on Funny or Die lol
@Big Elite that's awful, it's supposed to be campy
Give it some more time my friend. It is under Marvel...
Heart was actually brilliant in the context of the show. The representation of the 6th sense of nature, tied in with breathing lifeforms and the undertone of love
For the record "Heart" was far from lame. The only lame thing here is your video commentary skills.
Jorge Vazquez agree
Jorge Vazquez agreed
Yep.
Heart would be useful as hell during a date, too.
"My ring is the power of Heart, which allows us to love. Heart to care for our planet and friends. My ring will not touch you because... you have no heart!" Ma-Ti
Excuse me but you don't have the level of enlightenment to understand the importance of heart and why Gaia included that. The only thing that is so bad is your commentary right now thank you very much.
Yesssss! Came here for nostalgic review.... Got a shitload of condescending bias :@
*THANK YOU* How Does She Not Get The Fact That Heart It The Power To Feel Empathy: Something SUPER Important When Talking About *SAVING THE PLANET.* His Core Power Was The Ability To Not Only Feel More Deeply Then The Other's,But To Also Make OTHER People Feel Things Like Empathy. It Was't The Weakest Power,It Was The Strongest: He Was Just Responsible Enough Not To Abuse It.
I clicked on this & prayed that they didn’t use Negative Nancy as the hostess. Sadly, I was disappointed. Captain Planet needs to turn her into a tree because she’s just as wooden as one.
*REPLACE HER, PLEASE!!!*
tree...tree....tree....human tree....
She did kinda start negative heart was kinda op if I remember it right.
Right? It's So mean spirited. All they where trying to do was make a good cartoon to teach kids that they could make the world a better place.
Austin Bates, exactly. It was simple & beautiful & Captain Planet is absolutely amazing. I always wanted him & Synergy to get together, I don’t know why. Maybe because they’re both called upon through jewelry 🤷🏾♀️
Also, why jewelry? That’s the real question one asks as an adult.
Thank you💯 this chick is ignorant and modern as they come 🤮🤮🤮.
Lost me in the intro. Heart hater
Appreciate learning a lot interesting facts about my favorite old school cartoons, but thumbs down for the constant nitpicking of my childhood. Not everything was "cringe worthy," it's a product of the time.
Also, to an extent, I miss PSAs in cartoons. As a kid, they helped with situations we didn't think to ask, or know how to ask, our parents about. My two cents...
Heart is actually the most powerful one. It seems lame -- but Mahti (sp?) basically got telepathy, mind control, and other psychic powers. He was literally connected to every living creature.
Come on, it's 2019. We shouldn't be calling Ma-Ti's super-empathy and telepathy an uncool power.
I'm reminded of a paraphrased Gyrich from the Saban X'Men. "We want exciting multi-ethnic cartoons. Not to learn stuff!"
It was honestly more like mind control
@@tavienkeith6839 he couldn't make anyone do anything against their will he could only calm things and summon animals( unless they were enraged/terrified) so not really mind control.
He literally has the strongest ring.
she's stuck in a patriarchally constructed brutal force driven middle ages. not even ma-ti or captain planet can save her
Wait so... A cartoon that wasn't afraid of real problems and wanted to treat kids as intelligent and showed those real problems is ... A problem. Kids are impressionable, not dumb and the show (for any lame quip riddled short coming this chick could say) is the absolute best way to go about creating a show. Preaching about a show being to preachy is hypocritical. If it is preachy it will speak for itself. And decades later people still remember this show so I think it already has
@johneldred4195 what lies besides what this idiot lady is saying
Captain Planet was a super sayian vegan 🌱
Candymane TV he doesn’t eat anything that cast a shadow
@@thepurpleman119 then that is every thing. he do eat only to get power back if he need a small boost.
Clow Reed I’m guessing that you don’t watch the Simpsons?
It sounds like you have something against a positive message. The show was popular and successful in its message. Why are you going on and on about it being preachy? Obviously the children who they focused on were 1. enjoying the show. 2. The generation of millennials that it impacted to care about the planet are cleaning up the mess of previous generations. You must be a smoker.
Talking to animals is cool. Stop bashing Heart.
The kids from Captain Planet are the kids from The Magic School Bus 🤫
Agreed
@@cfruge444 take a quick look at how the kids acted and how the planeteers or however u spell that act. Spot on personalities. Is it true...meh prob not but it's fun 2 dream
I 💛 your genius.
🤨🤔😲
🤣😂
I don't think there's anything wrong with having real life issues in a kid friendly format. We all see life happening around us as children why shouldn't we see it in a cartoon to help us make sense of it? Also it was the 80s people didn't think kids needed to be coddled and overprotected, and they don't.
Heart is actually very powerful. If Ma'ti wasn't so caring, heart could mess anyone up by controlling them.
I was a 90’s kid in El Salvador when I watched this show. I was never offended by Mati being the only or first hispanic character at all. Actually, I really preferred Linka, and I always wanted to learn Russian because of her.
I used to watch all the shows from the US (dubbed of course) and never felt offended by any of those shows. To me they were just great cartoons. I used to love CP because it touched on very strong subjects. My favorite episode was about the kid with AIDS. I remember there being an AIDS epidemic, and how people were being told how contagious it is. Watching that show, really changed my perspective on AIDS. I was under 10 years old when I watched this show.
Regarding Mati’s “lame power,” you need love and compassion to care about people and the environment. Something that we world does need.
Such a cynical commentary.
This video also went on 15 minutes too long.
Fire is passion
Water is emotion and the self consciousness
Air is intellect
Earth is stability
Heart/spirit is the ability to us the elements and interact with them.
@ Angel Kingsley, If that's what these elements represents, then what does Captain Planet itself represents?
They are 2 types of smart. People who are actually smart and make a difference, and then we got your cast, people who pretend to be. This ain't hate, leaving that crystal clear.
But I gotta admit that thrashing a show that on those time gave not only the people but kids awareness of what's happening, how this rich people literally doesn't care about the earth and us, and positive messages it's kinda lame you know. This is my opinion, you got yours. Last thing, spread consciousness, not ignorance.
Captain Planet’s voice:The Power Is Yours!!!!🗣🗣🗣😎💪🏽🌍🌍🌍
Captain falcon...yes!!!! Show me your moves!! Falco PUNCHHHHH
Tj Clark I see your a fan of the Smash Bros culture and it is one of Captain Falcon’s iconic taunts😎👍🏽💯
Captain Marvel: Shazam!!
I know the guy who voiced Captain planet. His name is David Coburn and he’s friends with my dad and is retired and lives in Paris France.
Madison Telfer wow that’s awesome!
Weird flex but ok...
Which has absolutely nothing to do with anything.
Teddy Chappell he’s flexing
@@trickybread2007 I don't think he is. David Coburn does live in Paris now.
Whoever wrote this one is clearly clapping upon learning the Amazon is on fire.
Aubrey Oczon
can we set THEM on fire?
@@williamcasey1927
Not worth it. And would just add up to more pollution. Burying them alive would do the job.
In my head Mati's power of Heart is the most important of all. Why? Without it, there will be no will, or heart, to control all combined four elements. Without Heart, there won't be Captain Planet, it'll just be an unfeeling force of hurricanes, earthquakes, tidal waves and firestorms combined. A literal raging force of nature.
Fire,Water,Earth And Air Are The Elements Of The Planet. Heart Is The Soul Of All That Live On It.
Reboot the Captain Planet cartoon and make a live action movie where they battle global warming.
Please don't
Not live action! But yes, a reboot would be cool.
Can’t battle something that doesn’t exist!
Andrew Lofft Oh well if a random moron on the internet says it’s true - oh wait. I’m always curious about nutjobs like you, a decade from now when people are being displaced, mass desertification is occurring, and water is becoming more sparse, are you just going to pretend like you weren’t a climate change denier? Or are you going to own it? I think I already know the answer to that.
Andy Dietrich Thank you for letting me control your actions and mood. Triggered much?🤣🤣🤣🤣
I couldn't watch it for more than 2 min. Why she is so negative? Heart or love is the most powerful thing. If she wanted to get famous with this negative review, such a bad idea.
Soo was this video made just to talk trash about the show? Were you all calling the show partially bad because it had PSAs?
Easily one of my favorite cartoons. And please do not disrespect the power of ❤. That's the power that bring Captain Planet to life..duh!
Thank you for the wonderful trip through Memory Lane. Your commentary really explain why the show was such a gem. Thank You 🥰
This chick & her attempt at comedy is indubitably excruciating.
Why am I getting a tomi Lauren vibe from her?
marlon young big time.
The longer i watch this the more i think capitonplanet is amazing
I enjoyed this show back in my days 😎For the record. ❤ is not as lame as this lady here 😈
Don't come for my show!! Now here were are in such a predicament where we need Captain Planet and the Planeteers.
I would like to see a Captain Planet Movie
Heart was the force that connects all life
She is terrible in the introduction to the show The Spirit of the Earth could no longer stand the terrible destruction plaguing our planet so basically heart is Love of environment and the people around you but she got us viewing her episode and commenting so she basically won
Heart is ether and the most powerful element of all......it’s probably dark matter.
One of the few shows that had a good intro and credits
Well without heart why would Captain Planet want to save the environment? Without that element when they call him he would just do what? Eat pasta or something? I don't know but he wouldn't be saving the planet that's all I'm saying.
without heart captain planet would remind this, whoever she is, that talked all this nonsense
It warms my *heart* to see comments discerning through her sarcasm.
Heart is an amazing power. It is essentially telepathy, mind control, empathy and ESP all rolled into one ring. He could destroy a small town by summoning a stampede or he could make you off yourself. Not as flashy as a fireball but if he were an X-Man he would have a movie by now.
The host is wack the show was awesome
Even though he was far from my favorite, Ma-Ti was the "glue"/lynch pin that held the Planeteers together--yes, yes, he was cast in the "healer/mom/cheerleader role that is usually occupied by a female (at least in literally tropes) but he embodied a two-fold aspect for the show. He represented humanity and their greatest asset in "caring" about the environment, and being the "heart" of the show/group of Planeteers.
Look no further than the episode in which Zarm was able to convenience the Planeteers to use his gauntlets of conquest; all of the planeteers fell for Zarm's power gloves except Ma-Ti.
Yeah, and I'm confused. She is dogging the show for touching on serious topics, but then makes fun of it for being "On the nose" about everything. WHAT DO YOU WANT!?!
Kwame was my favorite character cause he was the only black one.
"Heart is lame"
Mati LITERALLY concurs the planet in an alternate timeline because the power of Heart is the power to control all living beings, but do continue.
Your expressions make it hard to know if you are being sarcastic, happy or disgusted. The expressions and tone of your voice do not match at all!
Wtf is wrong with heart ?! It’s beauty and grace and compassion and unconditional. That whole intro rubbed me the wrong way
Are you saying that LOVE or Heart is the weakest and or lamest power of all time? I won't even bother to call your comment stupid or idiotic. Others will do so.
We never saw the full potential of Heart because Gaia gave it to the right person. Mati would never misuse the power. There was even an episode where the former spirit of the earth offered to bypass the failsafe Gaia put on the rings so it couldn't be abused. Mati was told that if he unlocks it he can control all the minds on the planet but Mati turned it down. Stating "Gaia gave us all the power we need"
I think we should bring back the cartoon psa... it helped reinforce all the things that parents were trying to teach their children and helped kids bring up topics that maybe parents had no clue about.
Jackie Jennings @ Syfy wire you clearly NEVER watched captain planet otherwise you'd know that the power of heart was actually telepathy under a different name.
Wait....Wheeler from Brooklyn? Same accent as Joey Wheeler from Yugioh!
As a fan of both shows, I’m glad somebody noticed.
As a latinx kid in the 90s, Ma-Ti was one of my favorite characters and heart still is an incredible power!
Don’t underestimate kids and their ability to understand.
All this video did was make me fall in love with Captain Planet more than ever LOL
Captain Planet rules, Heart was actually the most powerful of the rings, and providing gripping and real back stories gave kids something to relate to and be empathic to. You should have done a little bit of research before bashing on this show. A kid show that was edgy, had a impactful message, and wasn't just about happy mindless fluff? Yes. Why would you even try to bash on a show like this? You are wrong on so many points.
Too negative for a beloved show...
Next we need Carmen Sandiego
Loved the animated show.
My fan theory:
Heart is used to reincarnate the dead, think about it, the planet is dying and in order to give it a fighting chance it needs heart as an element to live again
DreBone1986
also, a take on the western five elements design.earth, air, fire, water, spirit.
Heart was my favorite power of them all.I loved watching this cartoon as a teen.I wish they would put it back on the air and make some new tv series of it to watch for us green living lovers,nature lovers and eco friendly lovers.
How is talking to animals a lame power?
Its like that show beastmaster
This women's eyes freak me out.
The nose,the eyes and the hate for heart lol
Well she not very attractive sooo, yeah that may happen 🤣😂
The same negativity hating on this show praises static shock for being a really good and sophisticated kids show. Lame video.
I always thought the Theme song sounded alot like Step by Step by New Kids on the Block
Idk but I find many of the issue in captain planet still highly relavent today. I mean the rainforest is on fire for crying out loud
Heart is greatest power it is what gaia said matty is the vital member of the planters he is the center of the group
Heart was the unifying force of that team and you know it
I’m surprised there was no mention of Margot Kidder who voiced Gaia
With Heart you could control animals and people’s hearts.
I personally quite liked Captain Planet. I understand some of what shes bashing, but some of it is easily explained by watching the show. Like why Heart was actually among the best powers on the show.
I’m 29 now when I get asked what my favorite shows growing up were and Captain Planet was always in my top 5 Linka was my favorite character though I loved how she wasn’t like all the other females we saw on tv at the time
Blueyellow Same. Almost age and everything- will be 29 on November 29th 🤷🏻♀️
Very negative content on this video!! Shame on writers, producers and everyone involved on the making of this
I think the heart part is about the power of love, many people say love is the most powerful force...
Tbh I watched very lil of Capt Planet but what you see as negative in the show I think it was pretty good. PSA was good because kids are smarter then you think. These realistic concepts made in a child friendly show was smart. And heart is not a good combat power but its definitely needed
So negative had to comment twice this was a classic show Nd good message Nd this $&@$ up here bashing it smh
Im convinced there is always a guy giving the ladies this info lol
Heart was basically like mind control
No. Heart was literally mind control.
THE POWER IS YOURS!!!!!
This was one of my favourite childhood animated series when I was a kid. But what's shocking about it is I didn't realise it had very dark moments.
disrespect heart is the reason people don't care now but anyway those ring's might be from dinosaucers..
Yes and yes!
This lady just ruined my childhood 💯😳
Damn Skippy
LOL I LOVE THE POWER OF HEART XD
Sweet mother of Earth, could you be any more biased against this show?
I kind of liked Captain Planet because for one they had a great voice cast and all. But I really HATED DIC Entertainment and still do!
I dnt hate Dic but they r kinda trash
@@shaggydee91 DIC seriously became trash to me the day they did the abortion called G.I.Joe The Real American Hero series in the 90's!
One thing about this cartoon they predicted what actually is going on right now in the world
"The power is yours." I used to love saying that as a kid.
same here.
Her face reminds me of mtv Celebrity Deathmatch clay animation.
