In an uncanny valley where original thought is nowhere to be found, Captain Obvious is laser-focused on a singular mission: to preserve the concept of creativity. The plan is simple, though fatally flawed: enlist help from unlikely heroes to ignite The Flame of Inspiration before it’s too late. 

CAPTAIN OBVIOUS AND THE FLAME OF INSPIRATION begs the question - what is it that sparks an idea, anyway? And what makes an idea worth something?
