\n\nDoes anyone remember that episode where someone offered them the gloves that gave them super-strong powers, so Water could like wipe a refinery out with a fucking tsunami, only they had to remove their rings and couldn’t summon Captain Planet? And Heart - who alone had refused - and his monkey had to win them back with the power of friendship?right now i\u2019m thinking about like environmentalism in 90s cartoons cuz i just watched the jetsons movie and the entire agonizingly slow plot hinges on spacely sprockets building this plant on some other species\u2019 home and george jetson eventually having to force him to stop and it just makes me think about fucking captain planet. now that was the real shit. the fucking half assed \u201cyou should sort your recycling and maybe compost, also cut plastic rings\u201d was saved for the PSAs at the end but the episodes of themselves were just\u00a0\u201cthis dickhead greedy fuck is destroying the ozone layer, let\u2019s go beat the shit out of them with our magic rings and our superpowered man we summon from them\u201d
\n\nWhat even was that supposed to be? A warning against eco-terrorism?
\n\nAnyway I remember thinking they were idiots and I would take the gloves if they wouldn’t. 2 even! I decided Heart/Fire was the best build.
