Me explaining why I want to see this Death Battle. (Note: I'll try and keep this blog up-to-date)

"Aang vs Captain Pollution" I'm a 90's kid so I naturally love crap like Power Rangers, Pokemon, Ghostbusters and of course Captain Planet and the Planeteers, very near and dear to my heart. 5 kids given magical rings by Gaia to save the earth from the corrupting influence of human pollution. When they combine their rings together they summon the all powerful Captain Planet. "By you're powers combine, I am Captain Planet!". I sometimes feel bad for this younger generation because they will never know of the great content that they missed out on. But as the years go on new shows pop up that are just fucking epic such as Avatar and then I feel sightly better for them. I can't remember the last time I enjoy a show so much, a normal everyday person realizes that he is destined for greatness and the duty to protect the world by being the only one to bend all four elements. Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

As with most people the first match I thought of when it came to picking an opponent for Aang it was Captain Planet. Thematically it's a great fit, protectors of the earth, all powerful, possessing the ability to control the elements in anyway imaginable. The MAIN PROBLEM with Aang vs Captain Planet is that Aang has no way of actually killing CP. Unless you delve deep into Aang's Energy Bending technique then maybe he would be able to destroy him as CP or send him back into the planeteers rings, as CP is just a physical manifestation of the elements through the use of Gaia's power. All of Aang's attacks would just rejuvenate CP and make him stronger.

This is why I opt for Captain Pollution. Not only can Aang damage Pollution he now actually stands a chance of winning. It is also a nice thematic pairing as we have a protector of earth/nature fighting a destroyer of earth/nature. Polar opposites of each other.
