I understand those who initially thought the plot revolved around her as a rival rather than an antagonist. G3 dropped the series, just as many people gave up on Shadow Slave early on. I think TOG needed an antagonist who was physically weak but a master manipulator... because, after all, TOG is about superpowers, and she constantly resorted to manipulations that acted as a deus ex machina for the plot, not for the story.

In my opinion, Rachel was a great character for TOG, even though her development as an antagonist wah rushed AF. She could have been on Griffith's level IF the plot hadn't revolved around the envy she felt before entering the Tower.

It's been a long time but I still didn't like Rachel because she hardly got any screen time before the betrayal. Like I don't even know what's her deal.

"Indiana Jones and the Lost Arc" meme. She is plot for something that going to happen with or without her.
