> Did you know that Captain Planet was straight up created to be pro environmentalist and anti-oil propaganda?

Well, yes, it isn't subtle.

It turns out that some propaganda is just correct, however.

Captain Planet always bothered me as a kid, even though I was (and continue to be) supportive of environmental protection. There was too much evil for the sake of evil. People don't destroy the environment because they want to. The destroy it because they don't care. They don't care because they are driven by greed, or some other motivation that is ultimately damaging to the environment, society, and civilization.

		Yes, that's an entirely fair criticism. Media for children often has this kind of non-realism, and I think it's mostly for the worse. Strangely enough, I was raised with quite a bit of environmental responsibility, but only a relatively dim awareness of the show existing.

		It's a cartoon meant to sell merch. It wasn't exactly meant to be a nuanced reflection of reality.
