They could've come up with a myriad of better explanations, and they chose to make a debatable one. Thuy's passing is being interpreted as dying in battle and as a plot device to motivate her daughter. There's no way to stop the feeling of dread over this approach! All that's left is the final product and whether they can stick the landing or drop the ball. Will feelings, mine included, change with time after it's released? Maybe, but not immediately.

For sure and I fully intend to reserve my final judgment for when I watch it. All I have right now is hope, based on how the scene is briefly depicted in the trailer, but I don't begrudge anybody for being apprehensive, as I was feeling the same for a while and still feel that way a little. I mean, it's easy to come up with a premise like, you know, "kill Trini", but it's a lot harder to justify that premise in a way that does justice to the character. It can't just be for the sake of finality or tribute to Thuy or even JDF, it has to mean something to Trini and her friends and daughter who are left to deal with the loss. It needs to be a big deal for everybody.

Would time travel even be necessary for this? Dimensions In Danger was almost 5 years ago and if we presume JJ was around 10 years old, then he might be in high school now or very close.

If it's Tommy in that suit, then I think JDF would've approved. He only turned down returning due to scheduling conflict with his big passion project, White Dragon, but he gave his all for this franchise and he was proud of the positive influence the Green and White Rangers have had on people's childhoods. JDF would want to live on people's hearts as that strong person.

They could've easily had Aisha reclaim the power instead, as she's literally in this special and doesn't have any other powers that would be abandoned, like the Zeo Rangers.
