    The kids shouldn’t be armed, so they have nobody to arrest. They should operate like a terrorist cell and stay hidden from the law while they send out Capt. to put in work. Best part is they use their powers publicly to save people, so they look like a team of heros to the public.

      Didn’t the kids lose their ring powers when they summoned Captain Planet? Damn this could be a legit interesting film.

        That sounds right, but it has been decades since I last watched an episode; such time breeds uncertainty.

      In case you’re really not familiar.

      Captain Planet was a kid’s cartoon in the '90s where 5 kids were given rings that could control different elements (one each of the classical elements, plus heart). When together they could combine their powers to summon the eponymous Captain Planet, a superhero who cared greatly about environmental justice (which was the main theme of the show).

        Thx. Seems I have some knowledge-gaps in pop-culture 😅

          And in every episode there was some kind of environmental problem that 5 kids with super powers attempted and failed to solve and then had to summon Someone who was basically Earth-Superman. Finally the episode would end with the kids (who had failed to save the day) and the audience (who had no kind of superpower) being told that we had the power to save the world.

          It really required a feast of cognitive dissonance to enjoy.

    Why does Captain Planet look like 1980s Dolph Lundgren

      And then he smells crime again, he’s out busting heads. Then he’s back to the lab for some more full penetration. Smells crime. Back to the lab, full penetration. Crime. Penetration. Crime. Full penetration. Crime. Penetration. And this goes on and on and back and forth for 90 or so minutes until the movie just sort of ends.
