Captain Planet wasn’t just a cartoon — it was a mission. But was it shaping young minds or selling an agenda? In this episode, we dive headfirst into the eco-warrior from the '90s and unravel the real message behind the Planeteers. Was it progressive? Performative? Propaganda?
From toxic villains to recycled animation, we explore how Captain Planet and the Planeteers influenced environmentalism, pop culture, and a generation of kids who grew up thinking the power was theirs. This isn’t just nostalgia — it’s a reckoning with the messages we were fed.
