Line 94:
* ''[[Power Rangers]]'':
** [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]] in ''History of Power Rangers'' pointed this out about Rita Repulsa, who, in between moments of actual villainy and plots to take over the world, tends to use her evil sorcery just to ruin the Rangers' day, citing an instance where she sent a team of putties down to ruin a model of a parade float Kimberly was making, ''just to make Kimberly feel bad.'' Though in fairness, it's part of a larger attempt to destroy the entire parade (which is to promote World Peace, something Rita doesn't want.) Kimberly is being targeted personally because she's a Ranger.
*** Although, there are other episodes where she doesn't even have that excuse. The episode where she creates the Grumble Bee and sics it on Billy after he's upset after getting a B on a test (a letdown for a super-genius perfectionist like him) is a good example.
*** Here's a thought that casts Rita's actions in a darker light: She's trying to destroy them psychologically by attacking their personal lives repeatedly. Most people would crack under that kind of pressure.
** Lord Zedd was, at times, even worse. His motive (in the episode "Welcome to Venus Island") for kidnapping Trini's neighbor Hallie and using her as bait to lure the Rangers to Venus Island was because Trini had mocked the Putty Patrolers.
