• But before this can happen they have to resurrect Ma-ti with the Necronomicon. Can't have Captain Planet without Ma-ti and his power of "Heart!"

• Ted Turner's not dead? Well, it's apparent he's brain dead. What the fuck?!?!?

• A live action Captain Planet movie?  What a great idea (if you're stoned)

• all i can hear in my head is the "Robot Chicken" episode where Ted Turner dresses as captain planet.....CAPTAIN PLANET!!!!!!

• there should be a porn parody called Captain Planet and the Fucketeers starring Peter North as Captain Planet,T.T Boy as Wheeler,Sindee Jennings as Linka,Nautica Thorn as Gi,Rico Stifrredi as Mati and Lexington Steele as Kwarme with Jadafire as Gaia!

• it is fucked up beyond belief! The matrix is around us

• Batman can only be defeated by being dropped in toxic waste if he doesn't have a few milliseconds beforehand to prepare.

• Hey, Earth broke up with HER! After all... the Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

• Couldn't he just go after Whoopi Goldberg? I mean, she played Gaia, the literal avatar of the planet in that godawful cartoon.

• HE'S FIGHTING ON THE PLANET'S SIDE

• Yeah, us old folks actually didnt have to go to the wiki for that info, we lived through it...one more reason to respect your elders.

• Mullettes are back with a vengeance.

• I think it woule be better to see Captain Planet, The Toxic Avenger and Hedorah get thrown into a FFF together...

• I would watch only if it answers the question I always had the two times I tried to watch the cartoon. All these bad guys who flat out said they want to destroy the Earth, where do they plan to go if they manage to do so?

• {{Don't forget "hate"...strong enough hate could get him, too.}} So that explains his cancellation, then. Wait: you're saying there's a chance this movie won't be made?!

• What the heck does Captain Planet have to do with Sailor...? Oh. Wait, sorry. I am a very sad person. :(

• It wasn't the first time they tried it.

• Look at your man. Then at me. Now him, now back to <i>me</i>. Who has the Old Spice Women? I am riding a horse.

• Cartoon Network sullied itself when it started airing live action shows that were ripoffs of other, better shows.  The rabbit hole has already been breached, and breached hard.  So bring on the live action teenage ecoterrorists... At least this can't destroy anybody's childhoods like GI Joe and Bayformers did, since the original both wasn't very good and came out in the '90s.  It also won't cause a minor international incident like what will happen when Japan sees what Hollywood does to Akira.

•  I am almost 75% certain Batman can be defeated by being dropped into toxic waste. Current global take: $5 trillion. (The Joker, on the other hand, I'm not so sure about...)

• No. It's a trick. Get an axe.

• I think you meant to say AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAwesome!

• I think his original name was meant to be Dookie, but George's terrible hand writing made short work of that...

• Captain Planet took on the IRA back in the day? WOW. Now that is something kids cartoons could use more of these days, along with hillariously bad anti-Drug specials.

• Double pits to chesty!

• Behold, I will stop this earthquake with the power of recycling!

• I demand they get Meg Ryan to play Dr. Blight

• The basic idea of the cartoon might have been good, but the execution was horrible, the messages were corny (and sometimes downright false) as hell, and the good Captain looked like a walking nuclear accident. I remember one episode in Africa where some park ranger I think sprouted some nonsense about how nature sometimes needs mankind's help to keep from falling out of balance. Which is the biggest piece of crap I've ever heard. Nature's perfectly fine until we start fucking with it. Captain Planet, may he rot in hell!

• Maybe Ted Turner watched that episode of Robot Chicken and thought he was actually Captian Planet

• Now thats the kind of work we'd get if Tarintino were put in charge.  I'd go and see his take on Captain Planet anyday.

• It was "Mutt" Williams, not Jones.

• It appears that Ted is subtly giving us the finger there. Same to you, pal!

• Muhwahahahaha! I responsible this. Best tip submitted ever!!!  (and that's in regards to all the comments, not to the subject matter in which I agree with the the consensus of WHAT THE FUCK?)

• She can't force me or anybody to watch this cartoon series OR watch the upcoming movie. Anymore than all of his millions can make me watch his TV channels and love them. LOL!

• Robert Pattinson as Ma-Ti, but renamed as "Matty". Because Hollywood hates you, THAT'S why!

• Well, that will give me nightmares.

• *bangs head against wall repeatedly*

• Anyone else read this and see Ted Turner from the Robot Chicken short yelling, "CAPTAIN PLANET!"

• That picture... his horrible lifeless eyes, they follow me wherever i go. NOOOOOO!! oh look, capt. planets here too.  

• I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BRING THAT UP! I think I love you... (no homo) LONG LIVE MA-TI RIP MA-TI

• May as well spread this around. http://captplanet.blogspot.com/

• So...best case, we'll have new freakish supervillains who's schtick is to deliberately try and melt the ice caps for no reason, right? Worst case, the villains are one-dimensional caricatures of politicians that frustrate aging hippies. (The primary difference being that the freakish supervillains get cooler costumes and more charisma.)

• I'd watch the shit out of that movie. But yeah, switch Reynolds for the Beef he's way more annoying (he was Sam Witwicky three times and f*cking "Mutt" Jones... It's impossible not to despise him on some level).

• Ahh, Robot Chicken... how I love thee.

• There is at least one fan of captain environmental preachypants, and he is a billionaire with a lot of high profile friends and a bitch-queen wife he can sic on anyone who get's in his way. Do YOU want him to send Hanoi Jane after you? I sure as hell don't *lol*.

• Well i've never seen this one (since i watched it on German TV). It makes sense that they wouldn't show Adolf having a stair down with the Captian. That said it makes him even lamer that i remember, he's about as use full as a Care Bear. God he'd probably lose his powers if you cut of his ugly ass mullet.

• No, it was called "Return to Oz." in this the wicked witch of the west returns from her melting and creates a huge wind that blows the balloon, with the wizard trapped in the gondola, to a distant part of oz... and dorothy and the others have to go rescue him. Collosal waste of time.

• While not excited about this, I can see this as a "Spy Kids"-like kids movie. Nothing wrong with that. And I for one liked the "Captain Planet" series. It was innocent fun.. Not every damn thing in the world has to be "dark, gritty, realistic".

•  I believe Tom Cruise was the voice of Captain Planet in the pilot episode, and the character was modeled on him.

• Captain Planet really belongs to the 80's not the 90's.

• I'll hold him and you shove a glovatrix right up his ass.

• Look at your Wannabe. Now look at me.

• This would almost be kinda awesome if for the movie the kids were grown up, at least then if they re-use Whoopi Goldberg as Gaia it would make sense; seriously, can't you just imagine Ryan Reynolds as Wheeler, Lucy Lui as Gi, Don Cheadle as Kwame, Cate Blanchette as Linka and Danny Pudi as Ma-Ti? Honestly though, this was the dumbest fucking show.

• I don't want to live on this planet anymore.   >:(

• I am a 100% Pro-Development guy.  I will pay money to see this, Captain Planet is awesome.  I LOOOOOVED Dr. Blight and her creepy obsession with MAL

• I never really did liked Captain Planet. And now that I know better, I hate the whole concept of that stupid show a lot more.

• Don't forget "hate"...strong enough hate could get him, too. As we found out from a time travel episode where he got <i>stared down by Hitler.</i> Great heroism, there. What got me, though, on thinking of it? Why does crude oil hurt Captain Planet? If you're not <i>burning</i> it, the stuff's a naturally occurring product of organic material. Would throwing dead bodies at Cap hurt him, too?

•  Scarfing takes another victim. =[ "Not the end I'd wished for, lad." - Kup

• And Shia LaBeouf should play Wheeler.  Just 'cause.

• What the fuck? No, seriously, what the actual fuck are they thinking will work from this idea?

• I think the guy who plays Naboo on the Mighty Boosh should play the heart kid because why the hell not.

• nice to contribute to the insanity instead of just enjoying it :)

• I like this. but only in the sense that I don't care about the show enough to care what they do to it. and if they're going to just remake stuff, might as well do stuff that has a lot of room for improvement.

• SHUT YOUR LYING MOUTH! Atticus Finch is like 10000000X more powerful and awesome than toothpaste-colored green mullet man!

• L'Chaim!

• I know there's already one fff re this but that whole 'expands inside whom' phrase is just inspiriting

• now I'm imagining The Beef exploding from an expanding Scarlett Johannsen. for the record, I don't care enough about those actors or sailor moon to make sure I'm right about who expands inside whom.

• Oh, and Bargo for Ma-Ti. It just has to happen.

• i dont' care how old he is, I want Steve Eurkel to play the heart dude.  BECAUSE HEART IS THE LAMEST POWER EVER.

• captain planet = Keanu Reeves some of the kids = the cast of twilight

• awww come on, mogo needs some luvin too.

• Cross Frank Castle with Captain Planet and you'd have the most awesome movie imaginable! I wanna see this guy hiding in a tree on a hiking path with a sniper rifle popping caps in litterers! ^_^b

• Be taken seriously, that's his major weakness.

• I just realized we haven't even talked about who is going to play the planeteers. Okay brain time to start working.

• well to defeat captain planet take out the kids that can summon him and destroy their rings that they summon him with  problem solved

• are we gonna have the factory that the only purpose is to cut air conditioners in half?

• ... *goes to get LeVar Burton's blessing to play Kwame*

•  I hate you right now rob you just ruined a nice day off ....  goes off to find a drink.........

• Right, whatever--and George Lucas is gonna name a Dark Lord of the Sith....I dunno...."Dooku" or something....

• MOON! I WANT YOU BACK, MOON! WE USED TO BE ONE PLANETARY BODY TILL WE BROKE UP

• Dammit you're supposed to say "He must. He must."

• REAGANOMICS!

• IRONY!

• Oh David Carradine... that was a hell of a way to die.

• Backstreet . . . Boys? These are Backstreet Men! Now to sit back and await the return of the Spice Women (Old Spice Women?)

• Well, shit.

• if I ever start a Mexican restaraunt--I am SO serving "Breakfast Pinatas"!

• GABBA GABBA WE ACCEPT YOU! WE ACCEPT YOU! YOU'RE ONE OF US! GABBA GABBA WE ACCEPT YOU! WE ACCEPT YOU! YOU'RE ONE OF US! (I couldn't resist! :3)

• i would also watch the shit outta that.

•  But,but,but Peter Cullen( OPTIMUS SLAGGIN' PRIME) and Alan Oppenheimer (Warpath. Seaspray) were both in the Filmation version. It is enjoyable enough for those two reasons alone.

• Like marriage then an expensive divorce from jane fonda?   RIMSHOT

• But the assylum is so... assy?  You are more than welcome in Crystal Castle, I'm sure you will find it quite comfortable.

• I rather it be Charlie Sheen, just to see him snort a whole forest fire up his nose.

• Do you mean Oz Kids? I watched a VHS of the Pilot Movie, if i remember correctly.

• I hope this is an adaptation of the episode where that rat-faced dude infiltrates a high school and spreads a bunch of misinformation about AIDS.  I'd love to see Captain Planet's five minute speech about how "people with HIV are just like you and me" on the big screen.  It'll be like Atticus Finch's big speech from To Kill a Mockingbird, but ten times better.

• do we want to see a naked captain planet? on the other hand, if they need to do an orgy to summon the planet, I'll be on that FFF

• I don't think Linka was the genius. I'm pretty sure they had Kwamee and Gi play that role. Ma-Ti had "primitive wisdom", because you can't have a five-token band without at least one stereotype. But it was ridiculously stupid. They couldn't have them pollute for money (and especially government subsidy; you'd be surprised how much the oil industry gets, and the soybean industry gets the bulk of the farm subsidies, and is the most commonly genetically modified crop), as this would imply things about the place where Daddy works, so it was just for lulz.

• Maybe it'll be on HBO and have excessive sex and violence.

• sadly, we don't live in a universe that awesome

• you truly belong with us in the assylumn
