Cartoon Network and Don Murphy (Natural Born Killers, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Transformers 1-3 and GI Joe) are set to do a live action movie based off of Captain Planet.

This sounds like a stupid idea since the show was never that good to begin with. I doubt anyone will care to see this and that no one hardly talks about global warming any more. I smell a box office bomb.

Is it going to be a parody or something?

Eh, I'll still see it to see how horrible it is. Also because I want to dress up like Captain Planet and run around a movie theater singing "CAPTAIN PLANET! HE'S OUR HERO! GONNA TAKE POLLUTION DOWN TO ZERO!"

Nah, just quote Robot Chicken and scream "CAPTAIN PLANET!" on the top of your lungs, you'll be a Youtube sensation quicker that way.

But it's Captain Planet. How can we hate Captain Planet? He wants to stop the evils of pollution, global warming, and Jeff Goldblum.

So there's superhero in existence that's actually a decent guy and not sociopathic gung-ho justice vigilante?

Why do I have this feeling that if Captain Planet has an alter-ego, it would be Jeff Goldbum?

Michael Bay isn't busy right now. He can fuck this thing in the ass just like he did Transformers.

And I hated how it was always sandwiched between two cartoons that were awesome, and how there was nothing good on another channel in between.

But yeah I think this movie is just a disaster waiting to happen. I mean in terms of adaptations of campy 80's/90's cartoons to live action films the closest I've seen to being good is transformers and the live action he man, neither of which were that good. Though I never saw live action gi-joe so I don't know how that compares.

(EDIT: Hey I forgot about live action ninja turtles, I like the first two movies in that franchise)

But anyway, that aside what do you guys think about how the live action adaptation of the characters will go?

I'm especially interested in what will happen with the weird ass villains they had on the show, they better not pull a super mario brothers where the villain changed from a crazy turtle monster to some guy in a suit.

As a kid, I always had a feeling that Captain America worked under Captain Planet, because you know America is just a country/place on this Planet.
I never thought I would come back to Evangelion after EoE,
But I discovered Re-Take (or it found me?) and
now here I am.

I can only hope this turns out to be so bad it's good.
