With Cyber Monday in full swing, the nefarious villainRita Repulsa(Elizabeth Banks) has “taken over” thePower Ranger’s Twitter today. As part of her Twitter takeover, three new photos have arrived, giving us a better look at Rita Repulsa’s powerful gold weapon, while this villain interacts with fans, offers her top five picks for “Repulsa’s Must Have” items and even her own Cyber Monday “deals”. She even gives fans a list of “fantastically vile” gifts, which include “suitable explosives,” “costume claws,” “homegrown monsters” and an “atomic energy kit.”
Early this morning, Rita Repulsa announced herTwittertakeover with the first new photo, with thepowerful villainrevealing she’s finally been freed after 65 million years. Since she has a lot to catch up on, she has been taking to Twitter regularly to deliver a few insults to fans, while even taking a jab atOprah Winfrey, claiming that, while Rita Repulsa does appreciate “powerful women,“Oprah’s tastes are too “saccharin” for Rita’s liking. This villain even takes a few jabs at two of Lionsgate’s biggest franchises in her ongoing Twitter rant.
One of her tweets pokes fun atThe Hunger Games, stating that President Snow is “onto something,” as she volunteers all five of thePower Rangersas tributes. Ironically enough, that tweet features a GIF of all five of thePower Rangers' names shown on a piece of paper opened byThe Hunger Gamescharacter Effie Trinket, played byElizabeth Banks. Another recent tweet pokes fun at Lionsgate/Summit’sTwilightfranchise, with Rita stating that her monsters never turn out so “ravishing” and that she wants to sink her teeth intoRobert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen, while drawing a green heart around a photo of the vampire.
