He would say, “the power is yours!” Then he would fly away. Where did he go? Is there like a PlanetCave he just hangs out in and crochets until all the rings get used?
I don’t think your premise is correct. From memory, and scanning a couple episodes illegally uploaded to YouTube, it doesn’t look like Captain Planet flies away at the end. Usually, the scene just transitions to later after he’s gone, but the few times we see it, he dissolves into light, presumably returning the rings powers to the planeteers and disincorporating. He doesn’t go anywhere, he bodily ceases to be.
Where does his mind go? I think he’s a spirit. Where does team spirit go after the football game is over and everyone goes to bed? It still exists, but it’s not… here. It has to be activated to be tangible.
I figured he like dissolved or something back into the constituent powers. But he doesn’t want the kids to see that so he just goes around the corner.
Now I’m picturing Captain Planet stepping around a corner and having his flesh melt off and his bones dissolve.
