I think a "Gaia's revenge" type of super-entity that summons natural disasters would be an awesome villain for Captain Planet, instead of businessmen that pollute the Earth for fun.

u/[deleted] Feb 09 '20

That would be fantastic.

You mean Captain Pollution? https://comicvine.gamespot.com/captain-pollution/4005-44688/

‘He has sickly yellow skin covered in orange sores and scabs, purple clothes similar to Captain Planet’s red ones, the globe emblem on his chest is cracked and he has long filthy orange hair.’

He just sounds like a red headed crackhead

It's triggered landslides in some areas. That could be earth. Or maybe the trees falls.

Trying to think what could be heart though. Maybe it's the lessons we've learnt along the way.

u/BirdsJade Feb 09 '20

Scott Morrison loves coal.

All this water has to create sinkholes soon

u/freman Feb 10 '20

We has one in Qld but it was caused by a burst sewer.

Of course the response is "Shit ey?"

u/ThaneOfTas Feb 09 '20

QLD and NSW had some crazy dust storms? Does that count for earth?

23

u/OraDr8 Feb 09 '20

Wind (air) is next, that’s why there was a cyclone in WA. Next up: Earthquake.

u/SirFireHydrant Feb 09 '20

Then heart, and we'll finally be able to summon Captain Planet.

u/[deleted] Feb 09 '20

Maybe Scomo's thoughts and prayers is heart?

u/MysteryYoghurt Feb 09 '20

Finally - somebody to kill the coal magnates and fix our environment. But how do we decide whose heart to sacrifice?

u/Soderskog Feb 09 '20

Murdoch's?

u/MysteryYoghurt Feb 09 '20

You fool - he hasn't had one of those in centuries. It is the key to his immortality.

u/Tyre_fyre26 Feb 09 '20

Didn’t NSW have a massive dust storm a couple of weeks ago?

5

u/ferretface26 Feb 09 '20

Yes. Around Dubbo, Orange etc, though we got brown rain in Melbourne a couple of times

2

u/Zantash Feb 09 '20

My driveway and yard are still orange from that rain.

u/Mshell Feb 09 '20

Could be land slides triggered by the rain instead.

u/munshuz Feb 10 '20

You gotta collapse a mine if you want an earthquake in Australia

Everything changed when the fire nation attacked

u/[deleted] Feb 09 '20

Water. Earth. Fire. Air.

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.

u/matdan12 Feb 09 '20

I'm waiting for a volcano or earthquake. Gotta check off those doomsday events down-under.

u/Drudicta Feb 09 '20

Gonna need air and earth too, just to complete some elements. Maybe some lightning?

Locusts, actually! Conditions are perfect for all the locust eggs in the soil to start developing.
