I was watching Captain Planet...

Question. Why on earth are the eco-villian-people so... well, stupid? They have to live here, don't they? Destroying Earth = suicide. If you want to kill yourself, isn't there a better way than the unsuccessful way which gets the Planeteers at your door?

but, but, it's all about the planeteers - if the ebil-peepol weren't so unsuccessful, we couldn't get regular episodes of the 'teers!

Why can't the planeteers educate normal people more often, or help victims of natural disasters, or stop wars?

education for free? [i know, i know.]

[besides superheros save people from stuff, they don't teach them how not to get in the pickle in the first place - that'd be doing themselves out of their jobs ...]
