I’ve yet to read anything about Captain Planet from people my age, liberal or conservative, that didn’t end in them calling it propaganda and gay.
I’ll admit I watched it, but even I knew it was bulls#it at the time.
I watched this when I was 11 years old. I could barely sit through an entire episode. I thought it was just because I was really starting to outgrow cartoons. There was one episode I remember. It was about two tribes, presumably in Africa. There was an arms trader who would convince the chiefs to buy this huge military machine to protect them from the other tribe. It was also implied that the tribes spent their food money on these machines. Of course at the end Captain Planet had to step in and destroy these machines and stop the inevitable war between the tribes.
