Behind the scenes

In popular culture

  • Efren Ramirez plays Ma-Ti in the 2011 live-action Funny or Die short Captain Planet with Don Cheadle. The Planeteers call on Planet to stop Hoggish Greedly, but are horrified when he goes a step too far by turning him into a tree. When Kwame speaks up, Planet turns him into a tree, too, and threatens the other Planeteers if they try and stop him. In part two, it is revealed that he turned her into a tree along with the rest of the Planeteers, except for Ma-Ti who he forces into being his servant. Captain Planet takes away his ring privileges when he gives him a synthetic polyester towel to wipe his face. In part four, Ma-Ti attempts to kill Captain Planet with a knife to the back. As payback, Captain Planet raises his arm up to turn him into a tree, but stops when Ma-Ti begins an impassionate speech about "El Capitan" taking away the Planeteers, his family, and "that monkey," but he can't take away his heart. This gives Captain Planet the idea to rip his heart out.

Nostalgia Critic / Channel Awesome

Main article: Nostalgia Critic
  • Nostalgia Critic - "Captain Planet:" In the Critic's review of Captain Planet, he inducts an interview with Ma-Ti (played by Bhargav Dronamraju), who is disallusioned with the Planeteers and felt that his power of Heart is useless. However, it was later revealed that he was Indian and not actually from South America, which the Critic first thought that he was an impersonator.
  • "One Year Anniversary Brawl:" Ma-Ti is one of many people involved in a royale rumble, alongside the Critic and other internet reviewers. He was left defenseless when he gets kicked on the ground by the other fighters, but when the Nerd from Angry Video Game Nerd drops his SNES Super Scope, Ma-Ti threatens everyone by using it. He later finds himself lonely when it runs out of ammo.
  • Nostalgia Critic - "Siskel and Ebert Tribute:" In reference to Siskel's appearances in At the Movies while being hospitalized, the Critic calls Ma-Ti, who is represented by a phone call and a static image while he is away at a hospital.
  • Nostalgia Critic - "Battlefield Earth:" During a clip show segment, both the Critic and Ma-Ti appear in what appears to be their interview from the Captain Planet review, only for Ma-Ti to realize out that they are in a clip show. Both Ma-Ti and the past Critic lambast the present day Critic on the idea, with Ma-Ti suggesting him to review Battlefield Earth instead.
  • Nostalgia Critic - "Neverending Story 2:" During the climax of The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter, Ma-Ti inexplicitly appears when Xayide explodes and is about to use Heart, only for the Critic to tell him that it has already taken care of.
  • Kickassia: The Critic, having long been a leader of a recently invaded micronation, is greeted by Ma-Ti when the former discovers that his bedroom had been turned into his old review set. Ma-Ti urges the Critic to remember who he used to be, but when the he rejects Ma-Ti's words, the latter swears that his destiny will soon fail after his rejection.
  • Nostalgia Critic - "Inspector Gadget: The Movie:" After the Critic summarizes the scene of Gadget being reawakened in a junkyard, he rushes to interrupt Ma-Ti while he reads a book. After being told to say "Heart", Ma-Ti scolds the Critic in annoyance and quits reading the book.
  • Suburban Knights: Ma-Ti attempts to join the Critic on his quest to find riches but is repeatedly turned away. He is kept busy with phony tasks like finding "goat porn" for 8 Bit Mickey. Eventually, it is revealed that his Heart ring was actually forged by a scientist named Aeon and Ma-Ti is able to use it to defeat the sorcerer Malachite. It is unclear how Aeon connects to the wider Captain Planet lore. Ma-Ti sacrifices himself to save the critics and his ashes are launched into space in a "Quaker Style Oatmeal" can. Wheeler and Gi are also referenced as objects of Ma-Ti's resentment.
  • To Boldy Flee: The Critic begins the movie despondent over Ma-Ti's death. Spoony shows up at his house, sounding suspiciously like Ma-Ti, and raving "Search for my body" and "Find the hole". The Last Angry Geek arrives shortly afterwards and performs a "nerd meld" with the Critic to see if Ma-Ti passed on his "character". Coming up short, he concludes "everything he is or ever was... is lost". However, Dr. Block and Dr. Tease discover that Ma-Ti passed his consciousness down to Spoony and his ashes are currently orbiting the moon of Europa. Dr. Insano concludes that Ma-Ti's ring colliding with Malachite's Hand create a hole in the Space Story Arc Continuum. This hole, annoyingly called a "Plot Hole", is causing inconsistencies to pop up everywhere (GET IT). The Critic puts together a group to travel to Europa and receive Ma-Ti's body. Later in the movie, it is revealed that the can containing Ma-Ti's ashes collided with the Plot Hole, making him and the hole one entity. He convinces The Critic to enter the Plot Hole, which proceeds to teleport him to the "real world". The Critic meets his creator, Doug Walker, who gives him the choice of living in the real world or returning to his friends in the fictional one. Ma-Ti's ultimate plan was for the Critic to selfishly choose the real world, thus dooming the Channel Awesome Cinematic Universe into nonexistence and killing all the critics (just go with it). This is his revenge for being treated like a joke. However, The Critic unexpectedly decides to stay with his friends. The Critic apologizes to Ma-Ti and assures him that he was useful all along. Feeling content, Ma-Ti ascends to the afterlife. It is worth noting that Rob Walker voices Ma-Ti in this movie, as Dronamraju did not return to pursue his own ventures.
