I was apparently OOTL the Cheadle was involved with Captain Planet at all. I thought they were just throwing a name out there xD and I happen to like Cheadle a lot as an actor.

Cheadle played him previously in Web shorts. Someone compiled them into one video, less than 20 minutes. Absolutely hilarious.

It will be just a series about this dude on life support & discussing humane euthanasia.

This is going to be hot garbage and Captain Planet will be promoting pro corporate propaganda

Yes, this!

They will literally make up a villain, the only fictional part the series doesn't need.

Oh no

I was so excited... until I saw Berlanti is involved. Pass!

I keep trying to figire out how to make this show modern and relevant. I can only see it as a naive 90s world. I will watch it. I just hope it doesn't suck.

Dear netflix:

Hi. I'm 41 years old, which means I was about 10 years old during the original run. Therefore I was the target audience. Just came by to tell you, that Captain Planet has always sucked. The ONLY reason it had any ratings is because it had a 4pm timeslot, on weekdays, and Fresh Prince of Belair reruns didn't air until 5pm.

Seriously, nobody liked that show. It may legitimately be the first case of hate watching.

~Sincerely, some guy.
