In the episode where Word Girl wishes that she was simply Becky Botsford the world gets taken over by Chuck who implements his sandwich obsession on everyone making all foods sandwiches. But when you learn what a sandwich is (mainly food between two pieces of bread) you realize his world is not that different from area and the many foods that can be classified as a sandwich. Like tocos, chicken nuggets, and hotdogs, and pizza are things that can be a sandwich. This world explain why he was able to rule the word and the residents don’t seem that miserable.
Wordgirl is often inconsistent in how strong she is, at times being able to lift building-sized robots and at other times restrained by mundane materials, such as The Butcher's meat. The thing is, Wordgirl is a pretty blatant Expy of Superman, and while Superman is weak to Kryptonite, one of his other major weaknesses is no particular resistance to supernatural powers. Considering how The Butcher's (among others) powers work, it is likely she shares Superman's weakness with supernatural powers. Of course, the writing is still kind of inconsistent, but at least some of it is probably from how her powers work.
She's also (by relation) an Expy of Superboy (the original Superman when he was a boy version)—-foster parents, a youthful genius villain, etc. Like the Boy of Steel, perhaps she might still be learning how to use her powers to their fullest (and with no equivalent of the Legion of Super-Heroes to help with that)?
Chuck's Verbal Tic (never being able to think of the word he wanted to use) is evident in his villainous name, "The Evil Sandwich Making Guy."
This show is a parody of superhero tropes. Of course WordGirl's crush would be the local Intrepid Reporter.
In the episode where Word Girl and Dr. Two Brains switch bodies, Two Brains starts to be heroic very quickly and likes it while Word Girls starts turning evil. This makes sense when you realize that when they switched bodies, Squeaky's brain didn't go with the Doctor's. Meaning that it was Dr. Boxleitner who was really switched with her, with Word Girl being under the effect of Squeaky's control.
Mitigated by the fact that WordGirl knows what a Jerkass she is now. She'd probably get taken care of by an Enemy Mine between WordGirl and her normal foes.
We've seen Tobey's robots destroy whole buildings before. Assuming the buildings weren't completely desolate, how many people do you suppose were in those buildings? It wouldn't be too far of a stretch to say Tobey's robots have killed people before. Jeez.
Dr. Two-Brains' transformation was caused by him being fused with an evil mouse. Yes, an intelligent, extremely malevolent mouse. You know, those tiny animals that live everywhere, without you even realizing...
TJ like-likes WordGirl. ...What's going to happen once he hits puberty? (To paraphrase the Beatles, She'll be older, too...)
The later seasons mitigate his attraction to her. Though, now he has somebody else he likes.
Another one from "The Rise of Miss Power"—after Miss Power easily destroys Dr. Two-Brains' ray, she doesn't hit him or throw him around like the other villains. She trains her laser vision on him, point-blank. Had Word Girl arrived even a second later to the fight, Dr. Two-Brains could have been murdered right there.
What's worse, Miss Power doesn't go straight from destroying the ray to powering up her laser eyes. She destroys the ray, grabs Two-Brains by the shirt front, and drags him a few feet away past the other incapacitated villains. There was no real reason for Miss Power to move the doctor before destroying him...unless it was to get somewhere with better visibility to make the other villains watch and make an example of him.
Not as bad as some of the others but you have to wonder how Becky manages to deal with always being second bestto herself. "By Jove, You Wrecked My Robot" actually implies that Becky has never heard compliments about the traits she shares with Wordgirl while she's Becky. And to make this worse, Wordgirl is a job to her while she considers Becky who she truly is.
Mitigated by the series finale: her best friend knows and appreciates her for both Becky Botsford and WordGirl.
Considering Lexicon never made contact with Captain Huggyface after they crash-landed on Earth, they might think he and Wordgirl are dead.
Or worse—we never find out just why the Captain and Wordgirl had to flee the planet in the first place. Is Lexicon even still out in space, or did something catastrophic happen to the people there?
While Two-Brains has the world in a time lock, his henchmen have enough time to a) grow their facial hair out pretty long, and b) learn a couple new hobbies, implying the freeze was on for a few months "real time" at the very least. Wordgirl only escaped because she was in space punching asteroids when the time freeze hit—how long would she have been gone from Earth if time wasn't frozen? How worried would the Botsfords be when they couldn't find Becky for all those months?
In "Oh, What a Tangled Rope You Tie, Amazing Rope Guy," WordGirl finds the Butcher at a steakhouse. Which makes perfect sense, he's a meat-based villain, he should love steak. ...But wait, he can shoot meat out of his hands, meat that's even cooked. So, he's paying for something he could get for free "incredibly" easily.
Maybe it's the way the steak is cooked at that particular steakhouse?
There's always the possibility of ambiance. It can be nice just to go out some time, you know?
Or maybe he uses it to practice meat attacks, like a boxer in a gym. Who's going to complain about free meat at a steakhouse?
