Line 183:
* One bad habit that villains in the ''[[Power Rangers]]'' franchise ''never'' seem to get tired of (but never seem to do ''right'') is using some sort of spell or curse to brainwash a friend, ally, or classmate of the heroes to use against them. It literally ''never'' works, and more than one [[Sixth Ranger]] has been recruited this way. Rita takes the cake here - after Kat became the Pink Ranger, Rita tried to enspell her again ''twice'', and failed both times.
** Well, other than Lord Drakkon<ref>An [[Alternate Universe]] version of Tommy Oliver who, in his reality, chose to remain on Rita's side</ref> {{spoiler| which is a case where it worked only too well, Drakkon [[The Starscream| betraying Rita and killing her]].}}
* From ''[[Wonder Woman (TV series)|Wonder Woman]]'' Diana has fought her share of [[Politically-Incorrect VillainsVillain]]s in her time, and plenty of them were Nazis, but Colonel Kesselman (from "Fausta, the Nazi Wonder Woman") pulls double duty, being a Nazi ''and'' a misogynist - which causes him to be twice as stupid. His attitude towards women causes him to treat Fausta like garbage, refusing to believe that using the Lasso of Truth on the heroine can gain any productive information, scoffing at the idea of her claims that a woman can be as powerful as a man and the idea of Paradise Island, even though he's watched live news footage of her heroic actions. Eventually, simply out of a desire to prove he's right, he ''gives Diana back her lasso and belt!'' Naturally, she breaks free of the her restraints, and takes Fausta down. To top that off, while that's happening, his only means of calling for backup is a rotory phone - even when you consider that [[Technology Marches On| the show was made in the 80s]], that was rather poor planning.
