Description
When I first did my captain planet drawing. I wanted it to have a bit of a cartoon/anime feel...I didn't come out as planned. Recently I saw a tutorial in a magazine and I decided to redo it. This is it.Related content

All thing is missing is Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio crying and Scott Pruitt, current header of EPA soon to leave hopefully and Sarah Palin laughing.
I wish they would bring back Captain Planet to TV so children would help the environment instead of destroying the environment.
By the way, great artwork, dude. You should be a political cartoonist for Washington Post or New York Times. That would be awesome.

mildly offensive, and a hair away from being 'highly' offensive with only the knowledge that you Probably didn't mean it to be, saving it.
without any kind of description of what's supposed to be going on, I can't tell what you're trying to convey. (beyond maybe 'Rich guys screw the planet over')
the artwork itself is decent.

the greedy would sacrifice their savior for short-term comfort and security while ultimately screwing themselves and everyone else in the long run, it sort of a joke for christians to get, they or someone who knows a bit about christianity. the comparison is to that of jesus of nazareth in that both had their minds on their mission and the future of anyone who'd listen

Al gore crying and Sarah Palin laughing could be added too. Sometimes an artwork show many things and the thrut too... :-[ Captain planet was an audacious cartoon. He didn't showed super heroes fighting the evil, or a world of brainwashing Dora, but things who could making the kids asking questions about serious things: pollution, hunt, racissm and hate. Show me a cartoon, american or japanese who show that today. Nice artworks, sorry if my words could seem depressing.

Haha, the businessmen are casting lots for the rings... I don't know why that strikes me as funny but it does.

I'm still trying to figure out what it means. Big business and politicians killing the planet and gambling each other for its resources? Not sure I see anything more than that. Christ died to save others, but I'm not sure I see any other symbolism or parallels here. Except for maybe the rings signifying the scripture "Strike the Shepherd and the sheep will scatter," or etc.

Since I'm not religious I can appreciate this for what it is without getting all fundie about whether the context of this piece directly parallels Jesus' Plight in the New Testament. Anyone could be crucified like that back in the day (or today, just watch Riki-Oh), didn't have to be Jesus, the cross was simply a torture device back then, not a symbol of Christ's eternal sacrifice in the story. But people love their Jesus so none of that matters.
This is striking, instantly caught my eye, and is utterly original as far as Captain Planet is concerned. Love it.

Even though this is technically sacrilegious,there's a point to be made behind this cartoon. Plus this is very tactfully and well done, so great job on a good picture. ^^

You took the words out of my mouth, man.

You should turn this in sometime,as a political cartoon or something.
For pollution or global warming or something.
The best spot I say is in TIME Magazine.

*panics* AAAAAAH!!!!
i love this, and at the same time it makes me so sad! i love captain planet!!!
holy crap, are they shooting dice for the power rings???

yea, i don't think too many people notice the rings.

Wow, that's pretty inventive, now that i think on this, I can't believe no one else (that I know of anyway) did this before.

One of the best/worst animated shows ever! Right next to Speed Racer of course. Wow now that is memorable for so many reasons. I am kind of frustrated to with the environmental debate. You have allot of people making good points then you have people exaggerating like Al Gore who takes the most extreme probability and runs with it (like how in the seventies they said we were heading into another ice age)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yea, I'm on more on Gore's side of course sometimes the other side makes some good points and I have my doubts. The way I see it, I prefer to be on the safe side and try and take care of the problem. I think if the change is gradual the economy will adapt.

Wow.. Great work. (How come no one remembers this damn show?)

Is this a metaphor for how all the people who loved Captain Planet as kids make fun of it now?

I still love Captain Planet. I just think the bad guys won this time.

On one hand, I'm mildly offended at the comparison, but it's also pretty profound. Haha, good job!

You are probably going to hell for this.

For some reason I don't think of this as a stab at Jesus.

That's not what I meant, heh.
But yeah, that was at two AM.
Seriously though, it's great work and I really like it.

I think I like the first version more, but I still love this concept. I still think this is a picture that shouldn't be taken too seriously, but a person should still be able to take something away from it. Thanks for drawing it in the first place <3

you welcome. I agree, I prefer the color scheme in the first one. I'm tempted to recolor it but I don't want to keep making revisions.

So Captain Planet is on a par with Jesus? Shocking in a cheap sort of way, yes, but not terribly...effective?
Who is Pilate in this analogy, the uncaring condemner of the Messiah figure?
Where is the Judas who betrayed him for cash?
The guys who cast lots at the foot of the cross were nobodies, the gofers, the guys who were there to do the bidding of those with the power.
Rework it with the analogy fleshed out better, and while the message will still be maudlin and reactionary, it will at least be complete.
