...Dude. You are LITERALLY asking why a reboot is using stuff from the source material. The whole goddamn POINT of a reboot is to take something old and do something new with it, but still keeping elements that fans liked about the original, in other words, an adaptation. The Amazing Spiderman had Peter Parker, why didn't it use someone else, right? Fant4stic used the Fantastic 4 and Dr. Doom. In terms of adaptations, look at Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings. Very rarely do adaptations NOT change things up a bit, JoJo being the only exception that comes to mind. They're bringing back those elements so they can do something unique to them that the old show didn't do to try and cater towards a new audience and still give something to old fans. I didn't grow up with Power Rangers, but when seeing the old Rita and the new one, the new one seems more threatening, and one of her trailer lines screams threatening.
TLDR: You can criticize it all you want, but complaining about a reboot using old things from the thing it's rebooting is dumb
