Most of the comments I've seen throughout the web are people complaining about Trini dying or how she dies. Some people are complaining that it should have been done off screen, but I can guarantee those same people would complain about her dying off screen and/or it not being done "properly". Let me say this. THERE IS NO PROPER WAY OF DOING THIS.

People are going to bitch and gripe regardless of how it was done. I'm just glad that we have some form of closure to Trini and her story. Personally, I would have killed her off too. Thuy has been gone for over 20 years. Simply saying that Trini retired and never gets active again is fine, but it still eludes to the possibility that we could still see her in some capacity, be it cameo or something. This is a universe where the world is constantly under some kind of threat. So her never making an appearance again of any kind is absurd, she could be approached for guidance/advice. Killing her off (regardless of the method) ends her story and puts an end to the hope of seeing her again.

As much as it hurts me, because I loved Thuy and Trini, I'm glad they killed her off. And part of me is glad that it was Rita in some form or fashion. Because Robo Rita is Rita. (At least in my opinion she's Rita's evil essence housed in a new body. But that's a theory for another time.)

I feel like retiring would be less of an issue because obviously her daughter is taking up her status as the Yellow Ranger so there's less onus to have her show up rather than giving her a suit-only death scene.
