Why Captain Planet Sucks

I mean, besides the obvious.

So I was reading about ‘Captain Planet’, which is a thing that’s far too easy to do now that the internet exists, and I found out that his only weakness is pollution.

Let’s all, as a nation, take a moment to let that sink in.

Captain Planets’ only weakness is that stuff that he’s supposed to protect us from.

That is, and I don’t think I can stress this enough, extraordinarily stupid.

Okay, so look at it this way: let’s say I’m a new super hero named Milk Puncher, and it’s my mission to protect the world from the dangers of dairy products.

But unfortunately, I’m severely lactose intolerant.

Basically, if anyone pours milk on me, I start shitting until I’m completely hollowed out.

Okay, you caught me: there’s no point to this post. I really only wanted to put forward the idea of my new character Milk Puncher. I’m trying to get my own movie franchise going, and this is the only high concept idea I’ve been able to come up with.

I think there’s some potential there, even though the more I toss it around in my head, the more ‘Milk Puncher’ sounds like a sexual deviant with an alarmingly specific fetish…
