Why did Rita hate Kimberly so much?
 

Been watching what I consider to be one of the most underrated arcs in MMPR, A Different Shade Of Pink and it's such a good story. Something that bothered me as a kid that though seems to jump out at me even more now as an adult, Rita really wanted to do more than kill Kim, she really had a lust for ruining her life on top of that.

When you consider just how far Rita was willing to go to mess up Kimberly's dreams as a gymnast, relationships, health. Employing some girl to be used to spy on her and the things she had Kat do. Rita was far more twisted than we might give her credit for. Of course my head cannon says she that she was getting back at Zedd for even considering Kimberly for a wife.

I think Rita just liked to make all the Ranger's lives miserable. Kimberly was just the weakest at the time due to her powers being depleted. Kat took the Pink Coin on her own anyway.

Because she was an evil witch who was jealous of Kimberly. She knew it would hurt Tommy too .

This was her most evil scheme. She almost succeeded in Killing Kimberly. But Kat should get a lot of the blame too.

Thats very true , two evil witches were after Kim.

Kat only deserves credit for saving Kimberly's behind and single handly breaking Rita's spell. Rita just hated all the Rangers and saw a chance to take one out.

Rita was trying to scare Kimberly into leaving so she could trick the Rangers into using Kat as Pink Ranger.

Zordon told Rita to do it. He was going to to allow Rita to take Kim's powers in exchange for information on taking Zedd down.

You have a lot of crazy ideas! There is no way Zordon put Kim in harms way.

Rita was going to use Kimberly to try and blackmail Tommy once again.
