Ever watched Captain Planet?
Ever thought how Mauti's heart ring was pathetic?
Maybe not as much as you think.
Me? I would have used the thing to gather an army of squirrels to attack the villians :D
Anyone else have any interesting uses for the ring without changing its powers? :p
Mai Ti's heart ring wasn't really pathetic so much that using it would be the ultimate trump card as it would in a way remove a person's freewill. Which was why Mai Ti probably had it because anyone less responsible would probably just go "*BAM* Now you won't pollute! *BAM* Now you will do as I say for this! *BAM* Now the world is a better place because people lost the ability to choose for themselves and now just follow what I believe is the right way!"
It sort of leaves a bad impression to the viewing audience...so it isn't surprising the ring was moderately Nerfed in show.
I know I've probably linked this before

True, but sheesh still so many better uses I can think of without taking free will, lol

How do you know he didn't? And then, y'know, used it to get the camera crew to not film, and let him get away with it... ;-]
This makes me reminsce about the episodes where the evil opposite of Gaia (some alien guy whose name started with Z) came down to Earth and gave all the Planeteers these nifty metal gloves that were like super-charged versions of their powers and only Ma-Ti didn't take one.
I remember it only because of the "OF CONQUEST!" added to the end of the typical elemental cry, and the fact Kwame used it to make an island and then Wheeler used his to blow the island to pieces.
They had the 5 Rings of Power...
But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made!
The Sex Ring!
One Ring to screw them all...
:U
PS: I hated that show so much.
Heart was the best ring evah.
I'd totally have gone all "Come my animal minions, stampede this way and that! Oh, and bring me a soda, Suchi."

If I don't bookmark it now and walk away immediately, I'll never get any sleep tonight.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Charles will sleep no matter what.
He's on Benadryl for his anaphylactic reaction to mold spores. :<

The ring of Heart is pretty good once you get all the gay out of it... I wasn't able to rule the world with it though. just managed to get an endless supply of pixie stix.
Heart did get nerfed, and as a result was kinda gay. In fact, I dont think I ever really saw Mauti use the damn thing. I never really watched Captain P tho, I never got home in time to watch it >.< or they put it on too late in the morning. something like that.
