History Recap / OKKOLetsBeHeroesS1E33ThePowerIsYours

* EcocidalAntagonist: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes''. In "[[Recap/OKKOLetsBeHeroesS1E33ThePowerIsYours The Power Is Yours!]]", Dr. Blight comes to Boxmore to pollute the area around Lakewood Plaza Turbo. She notes that her ultimate end goal is simply to pollute the planet until it dies. Boxman points out that, since [=THEY=] live on Earth, [[DidntThinkThisThrough her plan will lead to their own deaths as well]]. Dr. Blight just states she doesn't care and continues on.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When Dr. Blight says she's proud of how much Box More pollutes, we see a montage of Jethro slipping on oil and spilling his own, Ernesto ignoring a leaking nuclear waste pipe (that melts his upper half), and Darrell leaving a sink running after [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot brushing his teeth]].

* ComicBookTime: In the twenty years since ''Captain Planet and the Planeteers'' ended, an unspecified numbers of years have passed for the characters, but Dr. Blight, Kwame, and (in the Planeteer Alert segment) the other Planeteers look the same age.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: DownplayedTrope for Boxman. While he may have a point about Dr. Blight's plan on destroying the planet to make no sense as both of them would perish alongside with the Earth, but Boxman's crush on her caused him to blindly follow her.

* MissingStepsPlan: Dr. Blight insists polluting the Earth will make Box More loads of money, but gives no reason at all why.

** The disbandment of Planeteers might also reflect with a common critique on the show's pro-social message that tend to promote obedience to the group while treating [[TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong anyone who complain as an obstacle]]--Wheeler being the only one--being detrimental to team-building exercise for the audience since group-cohesion maintenance also required accountability and compromise of individuals' personality along with conflict resolutions on in-fighting rather than solely based on group-loyalty.

* NoodleIncident: Kwame mentions that the fighting that Rad, Enid, ARMS, and Brandon get caught up in remind him of a similar occurrence that caused the original Planeteers to disband.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: While Captain Planets and the main characters managed to clean up the plaza, NoOntologicalInertia is averted as Dr. Blight's actions still have lingering consequences (flooded areas, smogs, and climate change) on the surrounding area despite their best efforts.

* RealityEnsues: While Captain Planets and the main characters managed to clean up the plaza, NoOntologicalInertia is averted as Dr. Blight's actions still have lingering consequences (flooded areas, smogs, and climate change) on the surrounding area despite their best efforts.

* HappyEndingOverride: Years after ''Captain Planet and the Planeteers'' ended, Kwame is the only one still on the team, as the others (Wheeler, Linka, Gi, and Ma-Ti) [[WeAreStrugglingTogether got sick of fighting with each other]] and left to get "real jobs". [[SocietyMarchesOn And just as in real life]], climate change has advanced considerably, without consistent progress toward stopping it or societal consensus on it even happening/mattering, with a sizable segment claiming climate change is a hoax, as well as the general consensus--especially among Libertarians--that environmental-friendliness hinders profits. In other words, the Eco-Villains (at least the ones who didn't pull a HeelFaceTurn like Sly Sludge and Hoggish Greedy did) have ''won'' (though only Looten Plunder and Zarm seem to have benefitted the most, the former from having free reign to exploit the environment for his own gain, and the latter from the constant strife plaguing modern society like religious extremism, resurging nationalism, gender wars, the internet in general, and an overall disdain for doing good deeds without getting paid). The only thing that's actually stuck is, ironically, public awareness of non-environmental issues such AIDS, gang violence, and recreational drug use, and the only environmental message that stuck is nuclear power, with a huge backlash towards nuclear power plants in recent years (especially following the Fukushima-Daiichi disaster in 2011), which is a major blow to Duke Nukem. The last part; however, has many energy analysts reconsidering on its revival due to its massive energy output to meet the global demands with little to no carbon emissions as long as radiation wastes are properly contained.

* RealityEnsues: While Captain Planets and the main characters managed to clean up the plaza, NoOntologicalInertia is averted as Dr. Blight's actions still have lingering consequences (flooded areas, smogs, and climate change) despite their best actions. All of the issues are also given in a cynical note.

** The disbandment of Planeteers might also reflect with a common critique on the show's treatment of Wheeler's the complainer with the purpose of promoting [[TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong confirmity]] being detrimental to team-building exercise for the audience since group-cohesion maintenance also required accountability and compromise of individuals' personality along with conflict resolutions on in-fighting rather than solely based on group-loyalty.

The last part; however, began to be given by many nuclear physicists to be adopted as "green energy" due to its massive energy output with little to no carbon emissions as long as radiation wastes are properly contained.

* BittersweetEnding: While Dr. Blight is defeated and the plaza gets cleaned up, the effects of Blight and Boxman's polluting have permanently affected the rest of the world.

We'd elaborate more, but the lead proponent of climate change denial is...[[Main/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement a]] [[Main/FlameBait tricky]] [[Creator/DonaldTrump subject]].
