![]() But Wheeler seems to be the only who understands humans and their cities, which are part of the environment, and a critical part at that. There is actually a good reason why Wheeler wound up with a ring.All of the Planeteers show an understanding of ecology and the environment. Basically where meant to see the story through Wheeler's eye's, more or less. I think it would be more accurate to say that while Kwame is team leader, Wheeler is the Audience Surrogate.Also, Wheeler was the most clearly flawed of the heroes that makes it much easier to write him "realistically." It would take drastic measures to have a character in this position not seem like the main character. It's easier to write someone from your own culture than from a foreign one. The cartoon was written by Americans and first shown in the USA. Wheeler is the only one to come from the USA. It's not who's running things - it's a matter of identification. ![]() Kwame is the leader of the group, so it wouldn't be a mistake to think he's the main character.Were we not supposed to assume Wheeler was the main character in the first place?.He may be a Jerk, but he's probably the only main character who tries to reason with the others about doing stuff that's quite wrong, such as taking Endangered Species out of their habitats. Wheeler is the real main character.Think about it, he's made some good points about what the Planeteers do sometimes. Together, they defeated Zarm, banishing him and leaving Gaia as the only Spirit of Earth. Zarm fought with the intention to kill, so at one point, she combined all her powers in self-defense, thus unexpectedly summoning Captain Planet for the first time ever. Gaia opposed him, which resulted in their first battle. Eventually, he rebelled and began seeking to destroy them, the first thing on his agenda being to lead them to the original sin. While Gaia welcomed them with open arms, Zarm quickly grew resentful and jealous of them. Things changed forever upon the arrival of humans, though. However, when the first living beings appeared and it turned out that the spirits were supposed to serve and protect them, Zarm started getting bitter, yet he still did fulfill this duty. In the beginning, back when the world was new, they both lived in harmony, simply playing all around the planet. As we know, she's caring, loving and nurturing, at times calling herself a mother he, in turn, is cold, cruel and ruthless, constantly trying to destroy her and everything she protects. The biggest difference between them is their moral alignment. Gaia and Zarm are twins, or at least regular siblings, with a Cain and Abel dynamic.They both have dark hair, darkish skin and blue (or bluish) eyes, and they're pretty much equal in power. You're looking at a bunch of teenagers surrounded by '80s pop culture what do you expect of them? Captain Planet's appearance is based on an amalgamation of the Planeteers themselves. ![]() ![]()
