Let's just say I've been forced into watching one too many Captain Planet reruns that have gotten me thinking. Say you were given the power of Heart, either Mawti gives it to you because he's going off on vacation for a while, you club the kid in the back of the head to get the ring, or it's blown off course when it's supposed to go down to Mawti and you catch it. What now?
Me, I'd make Linka and Gi make out and generally fuck with people. Sure, it's said to be a lameass power but really-It gives you power over people's hearts (aka emotions) and makes you empathic. That's a pretty badass power if you know how to use it. Hell, he could have solved all their problems by changing the hearts of the idiot villains they had to face every week.
"I know you feel like you need to pollute in order to make money, but seriously, this is a far better way to use your resources. I mean, you've got a freaking shrink ray. Patent that sucker, sell it and you will be rich without having to tear up the rainforest or other crap like that."
It's like, Jedi Mind Trick ring. Now that's a productive way to help the planet.
But then, I (like everyone else on this forum) am far, far smarter than the writers of Captain Planet and the creator Ted Turner. And are less interested in stupid agendas and more interested in interesting storytelling.
But let's have some fun. What would you do with the power of Heart?
