HalfLifeCrowBar (8:47:54 PM): EARTH FIRE WIND WATER HEART! Theyoungdragon57 (8:47:39 PM): Fire, water, wind ground… theyoungdragon57 (8:47:33 PM): what are the elements of the game? When chanted out loud in the proper order and followed by the group's cheer "GO PLANET!", Captain Planet would appear from flashes of lightnings and sounds of thunders.Īlthough its history of online usage remains somewhat murky, numerous online reference sites have attributed the gaming forum GameFAQs' LUE (Life, Universe and Everything) board as the site of origin, with its earliest archived instance found in an IRC chat log submitted to Lue Games forum on March 18th, 2005. In the series, each of five Planeteers are given a ring which allows them to temporarily control one of the four classical elements-Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water-as well as the fifth element of Heart. The power drives him insane, causing him to enact his own environmental will upon the planet, no matter the cost.Captain Planet and the Planeteers is an animated environmentalist television program that aired in the United States from September 1990 until December 1992. The fake film's premise has the Planeteers apparently dead, with Captain Planet left in possession of their rings. The overly dramatic caption accompanying the image reveals a far darker story than the classic cartoon every showcased. This piece is actually a slight reworking of one released on Instagram in 2018, the same year as Avengers: Infinity War. While it might seem weird to draw a parallel between the Mad Titan and Captain Planet of all people, a previous version of the work might explain BossLogic's. Intent more than ever on getting all of the Infinity Stones, Thanos directly takes on everyone standing in his way to bring about population balance and restoration throughout the cosmos. The posters for Avengers: Infinity War similarly emphasized the Infinity Gauntlet and the Infinity Stones, with the villain finally taking center stage in the film after years of being hinted at behind the scenes.

The emphasis on the rings, which all glow with different bright colors, is highly reminiscent of Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet. Their absence in this poster, and Captain Planet's wearing their rings, suggests a far different setup than the cartoon, however. This summoning was conducted by the Planeteers, who combined the elemental powers of their rings to bring the environmental hero forth. He would be summoned at the climax of each episode to foil the villain's dastardly plan and was as much of a developed character as the Power Rangers' Megazord. In the cartoon, Captain Planet, despite the title, was actually something of a minor character. Meanwhile, his usually unadorned fingers wield all five of the planeteer rings.

Captain Planet shows off his intricately detailed gauntlet, which dives into an Earth-shaped crest on the back of his hand. What's emphasized in the foreground is the most impressive part, however. The chest in particular heavily resembles some of the modern looks of Superman, namely his appearance in the DCEU, as well as his costumes in the Injustice video games. The poster features the torso of the titular hero in the background, with the highly detailed costume being a vast improvement over the original look.
