Captain Planet, he's our hero, gonna take polution down to a zero!

Pretty much.

 

[The Technomancer]

 

[harSon]

wrong, it'll be super Diversive!

There's no way they're going to have a black, asian and indian actor, or let the black dude be the leader of the group. I'd have faith, but I saw what Hollywood did to The Last Airbender, and frankly, I ain't confident. And Gaia? That's way too much non-white representation in significant roles for Hollywood.

 

[Kers]

I really hope M. Night Shyamalan is directing this. Fingers crossed X.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

On a side note, let's all be reminded that Ted Motherfucking Turner helped create the show.

Ted Turner also challenged Rupert Murdoch to a fistfight over a sunk boat.

This was not one of Turner's better things. He deserve to be discussed for his contribution to Pro Wrestlin..Wrasslin over the years.

 

[ReiGun]

I really hope M. Night Shyamalan is directing this. Fingers crossed X.

We can only hope for action scenes of this magnitude.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Fuck me. My last name is the shittiest planeteer on the show.

Spoiler

Let's just hope they make him a non-ginger for the movie -_-

 

[madara]

How many of these until they start to figure out that iconic hand drawn animation properties mostly dont convert well to CG realism phase we are going through?

 

[Trojita]

Where in the world....?

 

[MMaRsu]

Sweet! This will be pure shit though.

 

[DonMigs85]

I wonder why there was never a grass-type Planeteer.

 

[friskykillface]

but the soviet union isn't around anymore D: can't be done


haha even if it is struggling, i am hyped B^)

 

[thebeeks]

No Rockapella-only soundtrack, no sale.

 

[Regulus Tera]

DIRECTED BY MICHAEL BAY I HOPE

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Was there an episode where they didn't even Captain Planet?

The whole Captain Planet?

I eagerly await the trailer leak spill.

 

[Urban Scholar]

I just remembered I was crushing like crazy on the asian girl with water power. I demand her live action counterpart be hot.

 

[DonMigs85]

but the soviet union isn't around anymore D: can't be done


haha even if it is struggling, i am hyped B^)

Later episodes stated she came from Eastern Europe instead.

 

[Alrus]

Would be much more fun than Captain Planet =/

Edit : I really hope they use the plot were one of the tacky villain goes back in time to sell nukes to Hitler.

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

We're the planeteers. You can be one too. 'Cause saving our planet is the thing to do.

 

[Kusagari]

There is absolutely no way to make this work in live action. It would be more ridiculous than Aquaman.

Sung along every morning. It was essential.

 

[friskykillface]

ah i see, how many seasons did they have?
I only saw the ones where they said she was from the Soviet Union.

Wonder who will play Gaia,

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

Original theme song or no dice. Poor Linka no longer has the USSR as her home.

Also, where is my Bionic Six movie?

This post got me on youtube watching theme songs to my favorite cartoons lol.

I don't think anything could top pokemon. Greatest intro song EVER!

CP is a close 2nd though

 

[Nemesis121]

This will get canned, or it will bomb if it makes it to the screen...

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

This will get canned, or it will bomb if it makes it to the screen...

You're a horrible person for even thinking that

 

[Garryk]

Where in the world....?

Well played, sir.

 

[DonMigs85]

ah i see, how many seasons did they have?
I only saw the ones where they said she was from the Soviet Union.

Wonder who will play Gaia,

The first series lasted 3 seasons, I think they changed it to "Eastern Europe" in the 3rd one, then a new series called The New Adventures of Captain Planet came with an entirely new rap opening and slightly modified looks for the Planeteers.

[BattleMonkey]

Shia Leboufe?

 

[ReiGun]

It would be more ridiculous than Aquaman.

Don't you be dissing Aquaman. I will settle this with fisticuffs. Don't test me.

 

[JCreasy]

where are the gifs?

 

[AAK]

Oh man, the casting for this will be juicy!

Gaia: ???
Kwame: ???
Wheeler: ???
Linka: ???
Gi ???
Ma-Ti: ???

All I want is.....

Nicolas Cage for Plunder!

 

[Wingfan19]

Robot Chicken already found the perfect actor for the role

 

[CornBurrito]

Anyone remember the episode where Captain Planet is nearly brought to his knees by a death stare from Hitler? How is he supposed to fight off any evil villain?

 

[Paznos]

Captain Planet movie??? wow I LOVED that show, hope this is good.

 

[DonMigs85]

Lol

His mustache is all wrong though

 

[hteng]

Earth! Fire! Wind! Water! Heart!

by your powers combined, I am captain planet!

*captain planet, he's a hero, gonna bring polution down to zero*

damn that song is stuck in my head now

 

[Staccat0]

Which actors nowadays have a mullet?

Kenny Powers. jpg

but seriously I can't wait for the GAF thread where everyone predicts if the movie will be good or not based on whether the actors "look right" as the characters or not. Those are always mucho embarrassing.

 

[Chairhome]

I hope the majority of you realize that it says this is for Cartoon Network. Which means it will probably just be a low budget movie for CN, like the Ben 10 movies were. Sorry to crush your dreams of Chris Evans as Captain Planet.

 

[spindashing]

I'm done with cable TV live action adaptations.

Look what happened to the Fairly Odd Parents live action adaptation. Look. WHAT. Happened.

 

[lethial]

I HATED this show when I was a kid.

 

[Venfayth]

This show had so many problems, lmao.

I somehow think this movie will be good, or if not, then laughably bad.

 

[triplestation]

This guy would be the perfect lead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUghfxLQELQ

 

[Snaku]

The only way I can see them pulling off the Cap's look and design without it being very fucking weird and creepy, is if they make him a really hot female. Maybe merge the Gaia character with him, or make them sisters?

Anyway, main villain needs to be Dr. Blight. Cate Blanchett, please?

 

[Buckethead]

Cast me as Wheeler please

 

[wenis]

Oh god...this is going to end up a tragic mess that people will remember for decades.




Stupidest idea ever.

 

[Darklord]

The original cast must return!

Martin Sheen - Sly sludge
Dean Stockwell - Duke Nukem
Jeff Goldblum - Verminous Skumm
Meg Ryan Dr. Blight
Tim Curry - MAL

 

[bathala]

I remember Captain Planet was the first comic book I got from my mom.

Hated it.

 

[Forkball]

Not real:

 

[The Technomancer]

Would be much more fun than Captain Planet =/

I can see the trailer now:
Open on a news report. Cop cars are swarming around a prominent DC building:
"Reports are filtering in of a bizarre robbery that took place last night in which the standard kilogram was stolen from its home beneath Washington DC. Authorities are baffled, as the kilogram is almost worthless on any kind of market"
Cut to a hotel room. A man in the doorway points a gun at a shadowy figure:
"You can still come back you know. You can stop this. You can stop running"
The figure jumps through the window and into the alley. We catch a glimpse of red cloth
Cut to a bureaucrat, walking down the hall of a government building. His aides swarm around him
"We think there are seven flights she could have caught out of the area"
He slams back the door to the mission control room and roars:
"WHERE IN THE WORLD IS CARMEN SANDIEGO!?"
