Captain Planet: "Two Futures" (Pt. 4)

Captain Planet: "Two Futures"
Episode: 24 / 25
Season: 1
Original Air Date: 18 May 1991 / 25 May 1991

Hoggish Greedly prepares to enter Dr. Blight's time pool to travel back to the 1950s where he can profit through development as much as he pleases without having to worry about environmental policies. The Planeteers track down their cave in Greenland, and though Captain Planet slows down Greedly and Rigger, Wheeler's pursuit of them near the pool separates him from the others when a sound-wave machine causes an ice-fall. Cap is weakened by radiation and must depart, and the others can't see an easy way to get through the blockade. Bitter about being trapped in a carbon-dioxide-filled chamber with Dr. Blight when he could be celebrating a New Year's Eve party, Wheeler admits that this is one of those times he regrets becoming a Planeteer. Blight offers to let him stop their imprisonment by having him go back in time and undo that. Wheeler gives the date and location, but is reluctant to actually go until Blight pushes him through the pool. Going 360 days back in time to New York, Wheeler catches the Fire ring meant for himself and warns him to refuse it since it's fatal. His past self agrees and flees, but then Wheeler is confronted by Gaia, who tells him that he changed history in more ways than he thought. Greedly was never stopped from going back in time himself, so global warming is now much worse thanks to his decades' worth of polluting. The Planeteers never formed without their fifth member, and Captain Planet could not be summoned without the Ring of Fire. Wheeler doubts this can be true, since others might have been chosen in his place. Gaia takes him forward 35 years through MAL's time-pool system, where he finds New York flooded from global warming...


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wheeler gets his wish to see how those who were once his fellow Planeteers are living, but discovers life really has changed for the worse without him as part of their team. Gi lives alone on her island trying to rescue the last few fish species from extinction, angry with humanity in general since too few became Planeteers and the group failed. Kwame feels forced into, and accepting of, a position of constant battle to defend the few trees he alone planted from land-developers, thinking since nobody helped him before he can't possibly undo damage on a global scale. Linka works with her government preventing riots so all the masses suffering from global warming get enough from the meager food supply, and thinks Wheeler is insane since another's cowardice ruined any chance the world had by not joining the Planeteers. Ma-Ti, whose home was completely destroyed, lives among his starving people bringing out the kindness in others to support them, and despairs that since the rainforest cannot be restored, Earth's fate cannot be changed. When Wheeler finds that even Hope Island has been transformed into Greedly's vacation-center and Gaia is dead from toxic poisoning, he is desperate to reverse his act but doesn't know what to do...

I like how past wheeler doesn't think its strange that a fire ring popped out of a trash can into his and there's two versions of himself fighting in corner.

Just another day in New York, huh?

The little girl has a point...

[HotatsuKage]

Greedly still alive? Shall we say he was late 30s at least more likely 40s when he went back to the 1950. wheeler was in about 1990 then was sent forward 35 years. The year 2025(looks like we made it past 2012.) 75 years after 1950. That makes greedly 110 at the very least. And he's still not only alive but strong enough to man handle wheeler...
