All the others got to control some kind of element, but with the power of Heart, Ma-Ti could control people and animals. That’s more badass than people give it credit for. At least these guys recognize the awesomeness of Ma-Ti and the Planeteers! It’s a live action fan-made trailer for  modern day Captain Planet movie. And it is a thing of brilliance.

How cool was that? Those people at Altermotion Media Entertainment did one hell of a job. Even the Captain Planet costume looked awesome, and I’m sure that was hard to pull off.

I used to watch Captain Planet all the time, and I liked it when I was a kid. I thought the characters were cool, the concept was pretty fun, and I didn’t care about all the preachiness about cleaning up the environment. I just liked the superheroics. Captain Planet and the Planeteers is ripe for a grittier kind of reboot. Take it seriously, give it the strength and intelligence of modern day cartoons. It could be a hit!
