Line 257:
*** Cavity from "The Tooth Hurts" was both an [[Evil Chef]] and a [[Depraved Dentist]], a pastry chef whose wares caused agonizing toothaches to whoever ate them, something he could also cause using his energy projection powers. The [[Monster of the Aesop]] plot has been used a lot in this franchise, so this might have had potential if there was an Aesop in the plot, which there wasn’t - nothing about the benefits of dental hygiene or how you should avoid too many sweets. In fact, Cavity’s powers could decay things other than teeth; it would work on objects as big as trees, making him [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character| a case of wasted potential.]]
*** Plus there was Game Face from the [[Sequel Series]], ''[[Power Rangers Dino Super Charge]]'', the episode "Freaky Frightday". Give a storyboard designer ten minutes to design a monster with the personality of a tough gym teacher and an [[I Know Madden Kombat]] theme, the result would be… Much better than this one. He looked like someone took all the equipment a high school PhysEd department was going to throw away and glued it all together in a vaguely humanoid monstrosity. He had a large set of [[Combo-Platter Powers]] set due to an arsenal of equipment, but with no synergy whatsoever, and while he did have hilarious dialogue, he was about as much of a threat as the pile of junk he resembled.

* An unintentional case was Retribution, a group who were pivotal to storyline that may have looked good on paper. In 2020, this group of masked hooligans "invaded" WWE and wrecked everything in their path on a mission to bring the organization down. Or rather, that was the intent. Made up of NXT stars that had been given ''ridiculous'' names and silly costumes, they were far more annoying than they were evil, and were quickly condemned by both fans and critics. Reportedly, most mainstream WWE stars at the time felt sorry for them. WWE tried to salvage the storyline by "revealing" [[Mustafa Ali]] as the group's leader, but to no avail. After seven months, the group disbanded to little fanfair.
