How was Rainbow being a jerk? Using her power to save lives (and those lives being the lives of their close friends at that) is somehow a bad thing?

Linkara said something in his "Power Rangers Operation Overdrive" video: being a hero is not about the superpowers, it's about the willing to do the right because it's the right thing to do, the natural impulse to protect the innocents from harm. It's why so many Rangers kept fighting despite not having powers, and why Rangers who become Rangers out a selfless desire to protect innocents from evil are the most noble.

Same thing here. Wanting to save lives with no prompting from anybody is what makes Dashie a heroine, and Sci-Twi "no, let everyone die" attitude makes her come across as a callous jerk.
