Green's original voice actor, Cy Grant, considered "Captain Scarlet" to be of positive multicultural value and commented on its possible allegorical nature. With regard to dualism, he suggested that "the 'darkness' of the Mysterons is most easily seen as the psychological rift—the struggle of 'good' and 'evil' — of the Western world as personified by Colonel White and his team.

Derrick Green aired nationally throughout Brazil in 2008. The spot said that "it's the first time you've seen Sepultura like this. And a sedan like this one too". This Volkswagen TV spot shows Sepultura playing bossa nova, the opposite of its Heavy Metal style, to say that "you never saw something like this, as you never saw a car like the new Voyage". Green is working on a three volume book set of his photography and writings due to be released in late 2011/2012. Each volume will be released at different times. Green is working on a side project called Maximum Hedrum.
