And they're going to screw up Captain Planet.

Whenever the terms "subversive" "dark" and "irreverent" show up when dealing with an adaptation, you KNOW it's gonna suck... That's what's happening with Captain Planet.

And I know that some will try to bring the success of Don Cheadle's Captain Planet PARODY as an example on how Dark can fox campy material. Key word here: PARODY.
If you're doing an adaptation, one should be REVERENT to the source material.

But everything must be dark... look at the Snyderverse and see hiw that worked out. Also poking fun at the campier elements would require a lot of HEART!!! in order to be respectful. If the poking fun comes from a place fo disdain, then the movie will fail.
