* In ''[[Power Rangers Beast Morphers]]'', the bad guys show way ''too much'' pragmatism in the episode “Making Bad”, where [[Big Bad| Evox]]’s [[Evil Plan]] involves forming an army, using the Reanimator to resurrect a villain from the past to serve as general. The decision they have to make is, who? [[The Dragon| Scrozzle]] at first suggests [[Power Rangers Mystic Force| Koragg the Knight Wolf]], showing recorded footage of his battle prowess against the Mystic Rangers (the episode is, more or less, a clip show), but then Robo-Rita points out that Koragg’s loyalty to Octomas ended [[Amnesiac Hero|when he realized who he was]], and [[Heel Face Turn|defected to the Rangers as a result]]. She then suggests [[Power Rangers in Space|Astronoma]], against showing footage of her considerable skills against Andros, but then Robo-Blaze points out this idea is worse than Koragg, showing additional footage of the reformed Kerone as the Pink Ranger, using those same skills against Villamax and Trakeena. Scrozzle then suggests [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Lord Zedd]], but then Robo-Roxy points out how [[Power Rangers Zeo|he had double-crossed the Machine Empire]] and that with him they’d have a potential [[The Starscream|Starscream]] on their hands - [[Horrifying the Horror|Scrozzle quickly withdraws that suggestion]]. (Some humor is added here where Poisandra points out that Zedd was a much better husband to Rita than Sledge was to her, causing the two to argue.) A shift of scenes later, Robo-Blaze suggests Psycho Red, but Robo-Roxy questions whether he - or ''any'' of the Psycho Rangers - are a good idea, pointing out that [[Sanity Has Advantages|their obsession and lack of cooperation]] ruined the Dark Specter’s plans numerous times. Eventually, Evox gets tired of all this arguing, and after the current [[Monster of the Week]] is totalled (the battle also resulting in {{spoiler| the deaths of both Curio and Poisandra}}, which nearly louses up the whole plan to use the Reanimator) [[If You Want Something Done Right, Do it Yourself|Evox chooses his own candidate]], {{spoiler| Goldar, whom he restores as Goldar-Maximus, whose first act as the new general is to execute Sledge for his stupidity.}}
