* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy:
** Toward the end of the very first fic, Tommy ends up congratulating Kat on getting together with his twin brother David, and apologizing for not being able to give her what she deserved:
---> "I cared about you a lot, but I didn't- couldn't love you the way you deserve. I guess that part of my heart belongs to Kim, and always will. It wasn't fair to you and I'm glad that you found someone who can give you what you deserve."
** "Thicker Than Water" explains that Jason's biological father, Michael Lee, decided to step out of the way when he saw Jason's mother Karen and their best friend John were falling in love. At the end of the fic, he sincerely thanks John for taking care of her and Jason, and for making Karen happy.


Added DiffLines:

* RomanticFakeRealTurn: As explained in "Thicker Than Water", Michael Lee and the future Karen Scott were in a relationship. Unfortunately, her parents didn't approve of him for being Asian, so when Karen got pregnant, she and Michael's ''other'' closest friend John pretended they'd been dating and that he was the father. Over the course of their "fake" relationship, they ended up falling in love for real, and Michael ultimately [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy chose to step out of the way for them to be together]].

Misuse of the page/link


* TheBeard: Jason's parents pretended to be in love so that Jason's grandparents wouldn't know that Jason's real father was Korean. Surprisingly, it worked.

''[[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/212557/1/Personality-Conflicts Personality Conflicts]]'' is a ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' fanfic by Ellen Brand that manages to be both DarkerAndEdgier and LighterAndSofter. Expect lots of angst. Lots of it. And lots of crossovers. Pretty long and engrossing, so consider dedicating several weekends to it.

* ChekhovsBoomerang: It probably would have been a good idea to dig up all those shards left behind after the Mirror of Night exploded.

* ChildSupplantsParent: In ''Allied Powers'', Prince Gasket murders his father King Mondo, even destroying his personality component to ensure he stays dead, in order to take control of the Machine Empire (which he believes is his birthright as the oldest son).

* OneSteveLimit: Averted more and more as the cast balloons.
* {{Otaku}}: Chris, so much.

The Chick is now a disambig, dewicking


* TheChick: Averted and {{Lampshaded}}. Ellen dislikes passive female characters and will go out of her way to use stronger women instead. The only canon female hero to retain any trace of timidity is Katherine, who has never had a focal of her own. The version of David in Personality Conflicts comes much closer to being TheChick than any of the girls.
** Andros has an almost female function as well, though he seems to hover around a DefrostingIceQueen more than TheChick.
** Subverted with Jen Bigley's OC Christina, who has no real personality to speak of and almost no lines over the entire run of the series. Though supposedly a genius in her own right, her job is pretty much "Billy's girlfriend."

Moved an example from "Wrecked Weapon" to "Destroy The Villains Weapon".


* DestroyTheVillainsWeapon: Zedd's staff gets broken ''again'' in ''Two of Hearts'' (having been broken once before in canon, in the ''Changing of the Zords'' three-parter). This time, it's completely destroyed, [[spoiler:resulting in the spell on Zedd breaking and returning him to his true self.]]

** Ellen treats the act of creation and rebirth within Beetleborgs with more care than the original show ever did. Les can recreate Shadowborg because he was originally built in the real world and not internal to Beetleborgs comics. Art, however, cannot recreate the deceased Astral Borgs since he co-created them with his brother and only the two together could "remake" the ideas needed to resurrect them.
*** Flabber can't summon new things as often as Vexor or Nukus because most of his energy is being put into maintaining the gear that's already been summoned.

Added DiffLines:

* MortonsFork: Invoked when Dark Specter discusses the idea of creating evil Rangers to fight the originals, observing that past attempts have failed as they either go one of two ways; either the duplicate is so good that it retains the goodness of the original, or they're just flawed imitations that are no match for the original.

* GodzillaThreshold: The moment the Hillhurst monsters realise that Shadowborg is outside the house, they summon all four Astral Borgs to confront him as they recognise that Shadowborg would be too powerful for just one Astral Borg, and even with the numerical advantage Shadowborg kills three of them and only fails to kill Dragon Borg because the Beetleborgs showed up at the last minute and threw off his aim so that what would have been a fatal blow just caused a serious wound.
