Just because something exists, is not a good reason to reboot it.
It better star Don Cheadle
You beat me off to it
If it's not Don Cheadle playing the titular Captain - I'm not interested.
Deal, but he has to wear the green mullet.
The wig isn't the problem. It's the blue face paint:
I was apparently OOTL the Cheadle was involved with Captain Planet at all. I thought they were just throwing a name out there xD and I happen to like Cheadle a lot as an actor.
Cheadle played him previously in Web shorts. Someone compiled them into one video, less than 20 minutes. Absolutely hilarious.
This is going to be hot garbage and Captain Planet will be promoting pro corporate propaganda
Yes, this!
They will literally make up a villain, the only fictional part the series doesn't need.
I keep trying to figire out how to make this show modern and relevant. I can only see it as a naive 90s world. I will watch it. I just hope it doesn't suck.
I was so excited... until I saw Berlanti is involved. Pass!
Oh no
Dear netflix:
Hi. I'm 41 years old, which means I was about 10 years old during the original run. Therefore I was the target audience. Just came by to tell you, that Captain Planet has always sucked. The ONLY reason it had any ratings is because it had a 4pm timeslot, on weekdays, and Fresh Prince of Belair reruns didn't air until 5pm.
Seriously, nobody liked that show. It may legitimately be the first case of hate watching.
~Sincerely, some guy.
