Line 195:
** There's also an episode in the first season (towards the end) where the girls go to Domino/Sparx. At the end of the first part (it's a two-part episode), Bloom, who's currently powerless, is about to fall into a chasm. Stella was transformed at this time and could've easily flown over and grabbed Bloom, yet she didn't!
* ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars|Star Wars the Clone Wars]]''. All too often the Jedi Knights seem to forget that they have the ability to lift anything as heavy as a spaceship without touching it, jump high distances, control minds and possess lightning quick reflexes. Curiously these bouts of stupidity come up when they're fighting a [[Badass Normal]] character such as Cad Bane, whom you think a Jedi could reduce to a pile of disembodied limbs within seconds. And of course it is not a coincidence that this always happens when around the series' original characters. Justified, as the Jedi were deliberately underpowered as a story choice (the Jedi were arguably too badass in ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars]]'', though even they had their PIS moments), but this fails to address the fact that even these underpowered Jedi regularly forget to use things like telekinesis, even when others around them ''don't''.
** To be fair, the only Jedi we've seen lift a spaceship is Yoda. Who was a) the Grand Master of the Jedi Order and one of the three most powerful Force-users alive b) doing so only with lengthy concentration and in a non-combat situation and c) doing it to a very small spaceship (specifically, an X-wing fighter).
* Parodied on ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' when the townspeople chase Buttercup. She starts running from them before reassessing the situation and flying away.
* In one episode of ''[[Spider-Man: The Animated Series|Spider-Man the Animated Series]]'', Doctor Octopus kidnaps Felicia Hardy and J. Jonah Jameson and holds them for ransom. Despite [[Super Strength]] explicitly being one of his powers, Spider-Man tries to untie the ropes instead of just breaking them, giving Doc Ock time to step in and stop him.
