@Xunkun That depends. Gaia is just the spirit of THIS earth, whereas the traditional idea of God is that he created the entire universe. There are a lot of ways you could go with that argument.
In defence of the writers, they did do SOME research for this episode, at least in relation to the main players of the UDA. Check out 1:39, it's MICHAEL STONE on the left!
that bakery would've gotten burned out within 2 weeks lol As someone who lives near belfast, this is hilarious. Just goes to show how little the US knows bout what happened here lol
This was a cool episode, man. "Captain Planet" was politically, socially, and environmentally conscious. An overdose of liberalism, but sometimes that's what's needed.
What the heck? It's Northern Ireland and no one is saying 'sitchyation' in every second sentence. On the other hand, everything else seems reasonably legit :)
Facking hell... a six-pack? On a UDA man? most UDA "soldiers" we encountered were middle-aged, twenty stone and with beer guts that would do three blokes proud.... either that, or they were proof of the unwritten law that said the bloke who got to play the big drum on the parade was some undernourihed little seven-stone spide with arms like twigs....
If you think this was bad, this same episode also tried to deal with Apartheid South Africa and Israel/Palestine. I wonder if the writers ever stopped and thought "Aren't we getting in a little over our heads?"
I like how he goes to Belfast and the first thing he sees is someone throwing a molotov cocktail, followed by soldiers and roving gangs of protestants.
If only Ian Paisley and Gerry Adams had opened a bakery together, the violence could have been stopped decades earlier. It's a good thing there was an American handy to come in and solve everyone's problems.
"Guys, guys, the important thing is you're forgiving! Now why don't we get the fucking nuclear bomb out of here?!?" Got to love their reaction to the fire ring, too. And the accents... *shudder*
ignoring the vast amounts of critical research failure, I got a kick out of the fact that the green shirt guys first question was "What did you do that for?" As opposed to "How the hell did you just shoot fucking fire from a ring?!!!"
@greatestXhits Um there's a country almost entirely built of people like that. It's called the United States. As it happens, we're the most powerful country on earth. Granted, people talk about illlegal immigrants as "threats" to our culture (which is ironic given that our culture has pretty much taken over the world already).
I don't think Ted Turner knows what he's doing. Don't The Planeteers have anything better to do like plant a tree, or teaching some kid why pollution is wrong?
I think a number of the commenters fail to realize that this was a cartoon for kids. Of course it's going to have to tame things down a bit. I would even say they went way farther than I would have expected just dealing with the issue at all.
This has some of the worst voice acting I've ever heard I am ashamed as an Irish person that people think that we sound like that. that jackass John sounds more like he's from cork than the north of Ireland
ROFL, what were they smoking when they made this? Guy arrives in Belfast, turns the first corner and someone is throwing a petrol bomb at a house. Hilarious :D
Also, worst accents ever @ 3:24 - 3:57 ... christ on a bike. Are they supposed to be Russian, Swedish, Indian, Scottish or all of the above?
@WSWarthog Fuck you this is not what Belfast looks like and the violence has stopped for the most part there I hate people who talk shit about a place when they've never fucking been there
@Chrisindapurplehouse Erm do you actually live in belfast??? i knew a guy who killed a man just for coming out of a catholic pub... didn't know that the victim was protestant, and you think the violence has stopped for the most part??
@1990angelofmusic No but I've been there my family are Irish all cities have crime and hate crimes but if you think anywhere in the western world is like this in 21st century u are retarded
@Chrisindapurplehouse well i'll agree that all cities have hate crime ad the cartoon is a ridiculous representation, belfast looks nothing like that but the situation looks familiar if i compare the level of violence i lived through in belfast with the level in london (where i live now) belfasts seems more escalated or atleast more out in the open which is why i think the violence hasn't "stopped for the most part there" although compared with say the 1960's it has toned down quite a bit
@1990angelofmusic You're right man. I've been to Belfast many times and 90% of the time, I had to help neighbourhood kids defuse nuclear bombs and forgive each other. Apart from that though, things have been okay.
Are you sure about the level of violence in London? There's been a lot of gang crime involving guns there lately - about 3000-4000 firearms offences a year recently.
@batlin erm well ive never had any experiences with nuclear bombs !(not sure if that was meant to be a joke ?) but petrol bombs yeah!!!!, and what i meant about london was that there is def alot of hate crime there but in belfast it's more out in the open! obvious!
@1990angelofmusic Yeah, I mean its only the fringe, splinter groups that do anything now, and all of them on both sides have resorted to drug running for funds so they're really not that different than any other organized criminal group.
@asmodeon yeah, it's still bad but i suppose because i lived through it, it's easy for me to be biased and see it as worse than anywhere else, even though as you say it's not much different than places with prejudice and organized crime :)
@WSWarthog Yo, I'm from Northern Ireland, and I love Belfast. Every country has their own problems, heck it even happens where u live. So i dont c y u have 2 pick on Belfast the most
I love how people are taking this show as a serious representation of the American view of The Troubles. It is a shitty cartoon made for CHILDREN from the early 90s. Even if it were halfway decent they wouldn't be able to portray things as they really are because, again, it's a kid's show. Maybe you should go watch another episode so you can laugh at someone else's expense. (And no, as an American I can safely say I don't think that camels live in Ireland.)
ive grown up in belfast my entire life and i cant help but laugh at how stupid and rediculous this cartoon is. the situation in belfast (granted its nowhere near as bad as it used to be) is nothing like this show makes it out to be. in fact my great uncle was murdered by the UVF (ulster volunteer force) and belive it or not, because my uncle was targeted by protestants, the police didnt care. i have nothing against anyone of any religion, but the injustice of when my uncle died is unacceptable
@HeavyDutyGamers The 'poor catholic' routine has got a bit old - More loyalist terrorists were brought to book and jailed than republicans during the troubles and there were countless unsolved murders & crimes carried out by both republican & loyalist gangs. I had 2 members of my family murdered in sectarain attacks by the IRA, no-one was ever arrested, my catholic neighbours protected, assisted and now vote for the people who carried out these murders - I would call that injustice!
@HeavyDutyGamers U do realise that this is a cartoon rigth ? And that that wasnt real right ? sorry about your lost..cant understand how u can relate something serious like that to a cartoon tho.
@HeavyDutyGamers for a start you do have something against prods so your talking shite and he was'nt murdered he was prob in the IRA you just sound like everyother fenian
@and it was prob the brits who did it we died too but this show and you put it across that we are the bad guys, cause half of america think they are irish and have to lick your arseholes, yas never got shit on we did because no one never knew our side, only yours
this is the worst cartoon ever made. you know when hollywood cellebrities complain about issues and pretend to do great things, imagine a whole series ike that.
Oh, that's right, the troubles were caused by people having different names, that whole "cenuries of religious conflict" thing didn't matter at all
That whole war is staged by the globalists. Divide and conquer is their motto. Eventually the depopulation plan will go into effect and they'll be ruling on high while all people are their serfs.
It isn't that hard to believe that there'd be two A-bombs in Belfast when you think about it, I'm sure there was plenty of plutonium left over from the Delorean Motor Company to put them together.

There is Amnesty for those who committed act of terrorism before Good Friday Agreement. Then why was a Loyalist sent to prison this week for committing act of terrorism in 1973. There is one law for Republicans & another law for Loyalists. Government is afraid to act against Republican criminals. click Justice party UK.

lol, this is insane. I know its for kids, but Northern Ireland is clearly an extremely complex issue. Its brave for Capt Planet to tackle it but... fail!
I'm a Catholic but I don't give Protestants trouble or even Lutherans, I mean in the end we're all Christians. I don't give Jewish people trouble, either. One of my classmates was Jewish, he wore his yamaca everyday. Everyone has a right to their religious beliefs and cultures and you should respect that, it's called being diverse.
Although, I will admit I'm not fond of Atheists but that doesn't mean I want to go and give them trouble. Where does it say in your religion that you should?
@pytko3 why are you not fond of atheists? most of us don't go around don't go around harassing religious people like the ones you see of tv or on youtube sometimes. most of us don't even talk about being atheists at all.
@robokill387 Well, if that's the case, I guess Atheists are alright. I never go around harassing them, either. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs.
@pytko3 Listen, it aint about religion. Ask anyone here, they won't say "I hate their views on scripture!", apart from a few Protestant fundamentalists. It stems from the plantation of British Protestant settlers in Ireland amongst the indigenous population who happened to be Catholic (this is why some less-informed outlets refer to Catholic+Protestant as the "two sides") + partition. I'm an atheist with Republican politics, believe in secularism + am a lover of humanity regardless of background
...(Irish were poor peasants and perceived as pariah by the government, Scots were also farmers but regarded as higher on the hierarchy than Catholic Irishmen). Although other plantations in Ireland ultimately culminated in failure and failed to obviate what King James I's arbitrary reign considered to be the "inferior Irish race", Ulster transitioned from one of the most Catholic, agrarian areas of Ireland into one of the most Protestant, urbanized areas of Ireland.
As a result, Ulster, or what is colloquially referred to today as Northern Ireland, primarily became Scottish as a result of massive immigration from Scotland. Although Scotland and Ireland share a somewhat similar Gaelic culture (in contrast to that of England's own Anglo-Saxon culture), the prime disparity between native Irish inhabitants of Ulster and that of the Scottish immigrants was that of religion (Scots were primarily Presbyterian; Irish were Catholic) and social status...
To the episode's credit, the Catholic guy was right about the Protestants coming over and basically taking over their land. In the 17th Century, under the rule of King James I of England (whose rule amalgamated Scotland and England into one political entity) and as a result of violent uprisings in Ireland, the English decided to establish so-called "plantations" to encourage Protestant English and Scottish immigration to Ireland. As a result, Northern Ireland or Ulster became primarily...

Belfast is served by two airports: George Best Belfast City Airport in the city, and Belfast International Airport 15 miles (24 km) west of the city. Belfast is also a major seaport, with commercial and industrial docks dominating the Belfast Lough shoreline, including the famous Harland and Wolff shipyard. Belfast is a constituent city of the Dublin-Belfast corridor, which has a population of 3 million, or half the total population of the island of Ireland.
Today, Belfast remains a centre for industry, as well as the arts, higher education and business, a legal centre, and is the economic engine of Northern Ireland. The city suffered greatly during the period of disruption, conflict, and destruction called the Troubles, but latterly has undergone a sustained period of calm, free from the intense political violence of former years, and substantial economic and commercial growth.
Industrialisation and the inward migration it brought made Belfast, if briefly, the largest city in Ireland at the turn of the 20th century and the city's industrial and economic success was cited by Ulster unionist opponents of Home Rule as a reason why Ireland should shun devolution and later why Ulster in particular would fight to resist it.
Belfast played a key role in the Industrial Revolution, establishing its place as a global industrial centre until the latter half of the 20th century.
Historically, Belfast has been a centre for the Irish linen industry (earning the nickname "Linenopolis"), tobacco production, rope-making and shipbuilding: the city's main shipbuilders, Harland and Wolff, which built the ill-fated RMS Titanic, propelled Belfast on to the global stage in the early 20th century as the largest and most productive shipyard in the world.
The city of Belfast has a population of 267,500 and lies at the heart of the Belfast urban area, which has a population of 483,418. The Larger Urban Zone, as defined by the European Union, has a total population 641,638. Belfast was granted city status in 1888.
Belfast (from Irish: Béal Feirste, meaning "mouth of the sandbars") is the capital of and largest city in Northern Ireland, as well as the second largest city on the island of Ireland. It is the seat of devolved government and legislative Northern Ireland Assembly. The city forms part of the largest urban area in Northern Ireland, and the main settlement in the province of Ulster.

@HeavyDutyGamers The 'poor catholic' routine has got a bit old - More loyalist terrorists were brought to book and jailed than republicans during the troubles and there were countless unsolved murders & crimes carried out by both republican & loyalist gangs. I had 2 members of my family murdered in sectarain attacks by the IRA, no-one was ever arrested, my catholic neighbours protected, assisted and now vote for the people who carried out these murders - I would call that injustice!

That whole war is staged by the globalists. Divide and conquer is their motto. Eventually the depopulation plan will go into effect and they'll be ruling on high while all people are their serfs.

It isn't that hard to believe that there'd be two A-bombs in Belfast when you think about it, I'm sure there was plenty of plutonium left over from the Delorean Motor Company to put them together.

There is Amnesty for those who committed act of terrorism before Good Friday Agreement. Then why was a Loyalist sent to prison this week for committing act of terrorism in 1973. There is one law for Republicans & another law for Loyalists. Government is afraid to act against Republican criminals. click Justice party UK.

I'm a Catholic but I don't give Protestants trouble or even Lutherans, I mean in the end we're all Christians. I don't give Jewish people trouble, either. One of my classmates was Jewish, he wore his yamaca everyday. Everyone has a right to their religious beliefs and cultures and you should respect that, it's called being diverse.
Although, I will admit I'm not fond of Atheists but that doesn't mean I want to go and give them trouble. Where does it say in your religion that you should?

@pytko3 Listen, it aint about religion. Ask anyone here, they won't say "I hate their views on scripture!", apart from a few Protestant fundamentalists. It stems from the plantation of British Protestant settlers in Ireland amongst the indigenous population who happened to be Catholic (this is why some less-informed outlets refer to Catholic+Protestant as the "two sides") + partition. I'm an atheist with Republican politics, believe in secularism + am a lover of humanity regardless of background

...(Irish were poor peasants and perceived as pariah by the government, Scots were also farmers but regarded as higher on the hierarchy than Catholic Irishmen). Although other plantations in Ireland ultimately culminated in failure and failed to obviate what King James I's arbitrary reign considered to be the "inferior Irish race", Ulster transitioned from one of the most Catholic, agrarian areas of Ireland into one of the most Protestant, urbanized areas of Ireland.

As a result, Ulster, or what is colloquially referred to today as Northern Ireland, primarily became Scottish as a result of massive immigration from Scotland. Although Scotland and Ireland share a somewhat similar Gaelic culture (in contrast to that of England's own Anglo-Saxon culture), the prime disparity between native Irish inhabitants of Ulster and that of the Scottish immigrants was that of religion (Scots were primarily Presbyterian; Irish were Catholic) and social status...
KantianEdifice 11 months ago
To the episode's credit, the Catholic guy was right about the Protestants coming over and basically taking over their land. In the 17th Century, under the rule of King James I of England (whose rule amalgamated Scotland and England into one political entity) and as a result of violent uprisings in Ireland, the English decided to establish so-called "plantations" to encourage Protestant English and Scottish immigration to Ireland. As a result, Northern Ireland or Ulster became primarily...

Belfast is served by two airports: George Best Belfast City Airport in the city, and Belfast International Airport 15 miles (24 km) west of the city. Belfast is also a major seaport, with commercial and industrial docks dominating the Belfast Lough shoreline, including the famous Harland and Wolff shipyard. Belfast is a constituent city of the Dublin-Belfast corridor, which has a population of 3 million, or half the total population of the island of Ireland.

Belfast city centre has undergone considerable expansion and regeneration in recent years, notably around Victoria Square.
Hosea22 11 months ago
Today, Belfast remains a centre for industry, as well as the arts, higher education and business, a legal centre, and is the economic engine of Northern Ireland. The city suffered greatly during the period of disruption, conflict, and destruction called the Troubles, but latterly has undergone a sustained period of calm, free from the intense political violence of former years, and substantial economic and commercial growth.
Hosea22 11 months ago
Industrialisation and the inward migration it brought made Belfast, if briefly, the largest city in Ireland at the turn of the 20th century and the city's industrial and economic success was cited by Ulster unionist opponents of Home Rule as a reason why Ireland should shun devolution and later why Ulster in particular would fight to resist it.
Hosea22 11 months ago
Belfast played a key role in the Industrial Revolution, establishing its place as a global industrial centre until the latter half of the 20th century.
Hosea22 11 months ago
Historically, Belfast has been a centre for the Irish linen industry (earning the nickname "Linenopolis"), tobacco production, rope-making and shipbuilding: the city's main shipbuilders, Harland and Wolff, which built the ill-fated RMS Titanic, propelled Belfast on to the global stage in the early 20th century as the largest and most productive shipyard in the world.
Hosea22 11 months ago
The city of Belfast has a population of 267,500 and lies at the heart of the Belfast urban area, which has a population of 483,418. The Larger Urban Zone, as defined by the European Union, has a total population 641,638. Belfast was granted city status in 1888.

Belfast (from Irish: Béal Feirste, meaning "mouth of the sandbars") is the capital of and largest city in Northern Ireland, as well as the second largest city on the island of Ireland. It is the seat of devolved government and legislative Northern Ireland Assembly. The city forms part of the largest urban area in Northern Ireland, and the main settlement in the province of Ulster.
