Did I spent a good hour going through Rhoda’s instagram for BTS? Yes

So we’ve talked about Trakeena redemption.

Now let’s talk about Miratrix and her thirst for vengeance. The moment she gets out of that pendant the very first thing in her mind is revenge. And she’s going to get it. Thankfully, she has a good new teacher to help her hone her skills.

Scorpina.

Who better to teach a Ninja than the most infamous assassin mercenary herself?

Her mission: kill rangers.

And Miratrix… well… she has the perfect targets in mind.

Miratrix: Oh, I see. You think you're cute?

Dax: Actually, I think I'm just so-so, but I've decided to carry myself like I'm cute. *poses*

What are you favorite power ranger villains

First off, as you might've seen recently, I just absolutely fell in LOVE with Divatox:

Vain, smug, goofy, loud, brash, conniving...she's got it all. She's PERFECT.

And while I'm here, I thought I was gonna hate General Havoc at first...

But then THE SCENE IN THAT VERY GIF happened and from there he just rolled out the smug bastardness and I really like him now

On the flipside, a longtime mainstay for me has been Kamdor

This is the OTHER flavor of campy loudmouth I really love - he's just got NO CHILL WHATSOEVER despite presenting himself as a stoic and I just have a ball whenever I watch him yell about insignificant things and then follow that off by pulling a ridiculous victory like infecting Mack or getting the first Corona Aurora gem

But I ultimately hate to take sides in the schism because I love her too:

(PFFFTTT WHY IS THAT THE ONE GIF OF MIRATRIX THERE IS. THE POOR WOMAN)

But she's a badass girlboss who can kick the shit out of you while wearing purple and has high loyalty/low BS tolerance.

Unhealthy as the dynamic is, I'd love for her and Kamdor to get back to working together again. And if Divatox and Havoc joined them for an ULTIMATE SMUG SCREAMING PEOPLE alliance then that's all the better

Speak of the devil! I’ve been thinking about this guy a lot since finishing Operation Overdrive, particularly his decision at the end, and I think I’ve finally figured out what’s been bugging me about it.

Spoilers under the cut.

When Kamdor betrays his student and partner Miratrix, he tells her “I was just waiting for the right time to use you.” This line is really bizarre. So he just spent all this time with her, training and preserving her for years, in the hopes that one day he could benefit from throwing her away? Why? He literally was almost sealed inside a tiny crystal for eternity while saving her life; it’s only due to her own sense of loyalty to him that he was freed within two years.

Let’s say that this was an accident and he didn’t realize he could be trapped. Okay, then it would stand to reason he would be wary about putting himself in dangerous situations for her benefit after such a narrow escape, right?

Except he continued the behavior.

He allowed Will into their lair against his own better judgement because Miratrix wanted the guy around, which ultimately came back to bite them. He constantly takes the time during his fights to look for her and assist her when she’s struggling, even rushing to her side when she was injured in the battle with the Fearcats (which put them both in the perfect position to get blasted by Mig’s cannon). He lost the Star of Isis because he came back to get her when she was outnumbered by the Rangers instead of running home with it. Not to mention having to apparently fake concern all the time.

If he had just decided to cut ties with her because he (unfairly) blamed her for their failures, that would be fine. Heck, if he decided she was a liability since a lot of his worst defeats happened when he displayed care for her, even better. But to say he wasted all this time just for some hypothetical moment when sacrificing a good ally might come in handy? Boo!

Look at this teamwork!

Kamdor, buddy, where are you gonna find another ally like Miratrix?

[cupcakes-are-ours]

miratrix: you're trapped in a necklace!

kamdor: but at least i'm in da pendant

“The Villains in Operation Overdrive were all really underwhelming and kind of non-threatening.”
