    A few of them are true Captain Planet cartoon villains in their hearts (McConnel, MangoBastard), but for the most part yes.

      Every single member of Donald’s cabinet was comically evil. Like the sort of appointments that would happen in a comic book so that the reader knows for certain they are completely corrupt.

      I once heard someone try to say Captain Planet was actually harmful to discussions on environmentalism because it portrayed the “bad guys” aka oil barons, loggers etc. as physically deformed monster men who were cartoonishly Evil with a capital E, and people who watched the show as a child treat people who work at power plants or refineries or whatever as if they’re Just Evil and don’t have room to debate that stable grid power is exceptionally important.

      But no turns out they genuinely are physically deformed monster men who are cartoonishly Evil with a capital E.
