If I remember right there was an episode where they summoned him without heart, and he was a jerk.

that's really interesting. I listened to a podcast with one of the writers, or maybe the creator, I can't remember right now, and he talked about how sincere everybody was about creating the superhero who could actually change the cultural lack of concern about climate change.

and what's super cool is like statistically and culturally, it looks like the show worked.

like yeah everything is still fucked, but it would have been way worse a generation earlier if a bunch of awesome nerds didn't make Captain planet for generation x so they would become horrified over climate change.
