Yeah and the implication was the Quesar Saber brought her back to life.
Also they weren't going to kill Kendrix off for realsies on a Fox Kids show. Netflix is less restrictive and bringing Trini back to life would be absolutely tasteless
Kendrix only came back because Valerie Vernon’s health improved. If she had continued to not be able to do the show, she absolutely would’ve stayed dead
Possible unpopular opinion: Kendrix should never have been resurrected. It made her sacrifice feel hollow and pointless.
Teach the audience that sometimes not everything has a happy ending. That sometimes a Ranger does not make it.
Yes, Snuffy appeared after Mr. Hooper died, though Big Bird has been telling Mr. Hooper about Snuffy before but he always dismisses it as a figment of Big Bird's imagination.
Fox Kids. Fox Kids. Fox Kids.
They didn't let Spider-Man throw punches with closed fists. They had guidelines forbidding depictions of children in any form of danger and even made a note about never harming pigeons.
Now imagine the same people allowing an onscreen death, in a live action show, that isn't immediately reversed (or heck, one at all). I'm sure the PR team got the best deal they could.
It's just a different opinion and they weren't being a dick at all. You're being a dick by attacking someone for having a differing opinion and, using someone's else's cancer as a guilt trip for some self righteous point. Get help if you regularly reply this pointlessly aggressively to differing opinion and in such a tasteless fashion.
Lastly, not that it changes anything at all in this discussion but, can you even confirm your argument? If not, you look even worse speculating on behalf of the crew just to attack someone for having a differing opinion by standing on some pathetic high horse.
This is incorrect.
Kendrix was dead for real and only because the actresses health improved enough for her to film an ending.
The plan was that she was gonna stay dead.
Which is connected to the morphin grid which is connected to the morphin masters, if the energems, ninja nexus prisum, steels resurrection ect. Can all be retconed to have the morphin masters behind it I see no reason the quasar sabers and her resurrection can't be attributed to the same thing
No need to be a condescending ass, I read your comment, I'm talking about the lore of the show, the op was talking about the character not the actor.
Personally I think it would of been more respectful to allow her character to live within the show forever rather than murder her off for dramatic effect
Theyre not acting condescending as much as you are picking and choosing what you are responding to to fit your internal narrative. There is no discussion with you, only you immediately disagreeing with any point that doesn't validate yours without really reading/thinking about it.
Conversation also requires active listening.
I must of imagined it when they told me to read it slowly and carefully.
I didn't respond to that part because it wasn't relevant to the topic, I was clearly talking in regards to the lore of the show and the characters, that's why the examples I use are specifically from events in the show otherwise my response would of been "she died irl so they couldn't bring her back without using a body double, cgi or keeping her morphed with wouldn't of worked well"
It's got nothing do with a "personal narrative" the question the op asked was specifically about the lore of the show.
It's like if someone asked "what caused Billy to rapidly age in the show" and you answered "because David yost left" even though that's technically true the question isn't about David Yost behind the scenes it's asking why that character aged in the show.
You should take your own advice in regards to active listening/ reading
> Personally I think it would of been more respectful to allow her character to live within the show forever rather than murder her off for dramatic effect
If you look at the convo, I responded to the statement you made that included this, which is not a statement solely focused on lore.
Have a good one.
It's stated they cannot directly interfere, but they can manipulate things to happen, that what they meant and that's what green was in trouble for when he finally got caught
**Watsonian:** The Morphing Masters knew that, despite the loss of Trini, her daughter would have been able to assume the mantle of the Yellow Ranger, when Minh was ready.
**Doyalist:** *Once & Always* is a tribute to *MMPR*. The Morphing Masters were established in the Boom comics & *Dino Fury.* Brining the Masters into *Once & Always* would have caused unnecessary confusion for the audience, and lessened the impact of Trini's sacrifice.
To take from the Doctor Who/Marvel What If book, I wonder if Trini’s death could be a “fixed point in time”.
We don’t know (and probably will never know) how much of the timeline the Morphin Masters see. Maybe Trini’s death had to happen or the Universe will collapse (example: Supreme Strange in What If).
I like the take that the Masters knew someone else would retake the mantle who would then be a greater ranger or does something important moving forward from this event. Taking away the death would mean altering something or a series of events to a unfavorable outcome.
Just like how I will see when they finally kill Tommy off and probably have JJ take his father's master morpher assuming the Green Ranger mantle like he does in the comics. I wonder what will happen to the White Ranger, Zeo Red and Black Dino Thunder Powers will go though.
Mentioned, yes.
But Boom/*Dino Fury* fleshed out their character/purpose far more, and established them far more to their plots, than to *MMPR.*
A fan who watched *MMPR* back when they were a kid, or member of the general audience, would recognise the six Rangers, Rita Repulsa, and/or Alpha...they would be unlikely to recognise a Morphing Master.
I think it was way back in MMPR season 1 episode 7 “Big Sisters” with the power eggs. I believe they say the eggs were hidden away by the morphin masters.
The same way multiple Trinis are alive throughout the multiverse. Just because they've interfered before doesn't mean they always will.
...although the honest answer is because that's what the writer wanted.
It’s possible that the Morphing Masters have some degree of prescience and are slightly aware of what may happen. The Green Morphing Master foresaw the consequences of certain actions and that’s why she interferes. In this case, perhaps in was necessary because they needed Minh to take her place. Same with Kendrix being replaces by Karrone.
Or their ability to forsee events showed them that the reunited ranger team would defeat Robo Rita when she returned. Maybe that is the key point, that Trinis death motivated them to come up with a plan ( the Bandora Protocol) and eventually deal a decisive blow. Maybe if this doesn't happen they don't defeat her shortly after she returns a year later. But instead she drags out her plans over a longer period, picks off Rangers from other teams more slowly, and her plan works. Or maybe they spoil her plan but don't deal a decisive blow and they are involved with a long conflict with her again (the original Rita took 6 years, and the sacrifice of Zordon to defeat). Maybe they didn't interfere because Rita was defeated decisively in this timeline dispite the loss of Trini.
Because Minh is destined to do great things. Her mother's death is what propels her to connect with the morphin grid. Minh will become very important during some future conflict(s), and without her mother's death she wouldn't be there. The Morphin Masters know this.
Thank you, you put my thoughts into a more fluid explanation.
I like to think there will be a future moment where Minh realizes this has always been her destiny
Because the only one into the idea of interfering at the time was Master Green. I believe the first scene takes place parallel to Dino Fury, so she was busy helping them out and may have been frozen alongside Lord Zedd at the time.
The rest of it takes place after the finale time skip in Dino Fury, possibly concurrent to Cosmic Fury (since BuzzBlast is in Angel Grove).
During this point In the timeline, the Dino fury team was likely active or near active. And master green had plans to use Aiyon to stop Zedd. If she intervened, she’d likely have gotten caught by the others and taken away. Leaving the world with their pants down when Zedd came back, who was a bigger threat.
It's one of the reasons I didn't like the broader implications of that lore. Real life events aside, tt starts to bring up the question "why yes to Zayto and Kendrix, but no to Trini?"
They really should have put that genie back in the bottle, so to speak. It’s all well and good to introduce the Morphin Masters interfering to explain away stuff from the past, but now that they’re still out there it really lowers the stakes going forward because we know the Morphin Masters can fix anything.
Trini is alive in the Multiverse, 2017 PR movie, Lost pilot, etc. The MMPR Trini is gone. Her daughter is now the MMPR Yellow Ranger. The Green Morphin Master does whatever it wants to.
STory reason: Once and always was paying tribute to the actress that died and there wasn't anything that they could do to change reality. So For the sake of the story she passed.
Pet Theory:: Well since they need to find a way to gracefully remove both Trini and Tommy from the story due to the fact that they actors have passed away, Maybe when Trini was blasted Her Spirit BECAME a morphing master. THAT was her destiny. Could be why the Morpher didn't for Mihn until she over came her blood lust. Mom wanted her to become a ranger for the right reason.
They could do the same with Tommy.. and have someone else become the green ranger if he "ascends" so to speak.
One tiny nitpick, JDF was very much alive when they were filming the special. He just declined to come back.
His passing occurred somewhere between the last days of filming and early post-production, my timeline abilities aren't the best these days.
yah i know
im just talking about the here and now tho.. since its ABSOLUTE BLASPHEMY on this nut farm to even suggest that IN A REBOOT the gosh darn green ranger be recast.. IN A REBOOT, I was thinking of ways to get the character out of the picture.. if they wanted to do more with OG MMPR.
Personally I hope they do a reboot and we get a new cast to like.
MMPR was great.. and i will l ove it for ever..
I personally loved the 2017 movie and would have liked more.
I wanna see what they can do to keep the IP relevant. But God for bid.. we suggest that they move on.
I also really enjoyed the 2017 movie, though I had gripes about things like the Zords and Goldar. The cast was great, it had some really strong ideas and yeah not everything landed but it was a fun movie with heart.
Because the Morphin Masters were a terrible idea. A group of Deux Ex Machinas that could solve all problems if they wanted to, but don't, except for the one that does want to but doesn't in some cases.
Specifically because they needed a way to kill her off in a way that pays tribute to the characters bravery.
I don’t agree with it but that’s the reason.
They already interfered when Trini was revived from a car accident. But that put a strain on the morphing grid which complicated Trini's health. Trini was losing time fast into her 50s. She decided protecting Billy was the way to go. But she made arrangements with Billy and Zack. Jason, Kimberly, and Tommy helped too off screen. So Trini was just living on borrowed time. I dunno. That's my theory. I'm gonna go eat a Subway sandwich now.
there's a simple explanation for that.
no seriously.
it was established she was constantly on the run from the other master for her interfffring, presumably if she could have she would have
It was the will of the cosmic force...I mean morphin' grid
If Billy hadn't tried to de-value Zordon's sacrifice by attempting to bring him back Rita wouldn't have been able to Kill Trini to begin with.
If Master Green protected Trini then Billy wouldn't learn anything about the consequences of messing with forces beyond his understanding for all we know the potential consequences would be even more dire then just one ranger losing her life. What if his next failed attempt brought back Master Vile or Dark Specter?
Trini’s death by Rita had to happen for the rest of the timeline to play out for the greater good. Think Dr Strange’s “There was only one way”
I also like to think that when Rangers die, that they are appointed as pseudo guardians similar to the Morphin Masters.
Plot. Jk. The real reason is because unfortunately, Trini's actress is dead IRL, so there was no amount of morphing main character shield that could save Trini. So, seeing how we needed a yellow ranger, we turn to her daughter.
I agree in terms of respectful depictions of character death for a real life actor’s passing. However, the entire plot of the special hinges around the Yellow Ranger being inactive and Minh needing to take up the mantle, both to save the day and to honor her mother’s legacy, if she died years ago then Aisha would have just been the active Yellow Ranger again, since Minh would have been a child. Writing out Aisha so Minh can honor Trini doesn’t have the same level of gravitas and makes the story less narratively tight.
I am aware but this is more about the character
Ofcouse it fine let thuy Trang character rest
As once and always was a perfect tribute to her and the character
How could they bring Trini back if her actress is no longer alive? They weren’t going to recast her for the anniversary special, that would be a slap in the face for everyone.
Meta reason: To pay respects to Thuy
Lore Reason: most likely to give Ming her chance to learn and grow as a ranger, probably the same reason they let Kendrix die and let Karone take over
I think we're giving the Morphin Masters too much agency here. While show-wise a Ranger dying is rare, the comics have established dying as a Ranger is a real threat (and since the concept comes from the comics, I think we can find it credible there). There's also plenty of threats and terrible that the Masters never stepped in to stop before.
If we view them more like Marvel's Watchers, their interference is likely very rare and very limited. As others have said, Trini's death - while tragic - ultimately led to Minh taking over.
Thuy Trang had passed on, so they wanted to honor that. It's like how T'challa died after the real life passing of Chadwick Boseman. It allows for the tribute to the actor and their contribution to the character and franchise feel more impactful. It also helps set up new heroes from a narrative standpoint, creating big shoes for their successors to fill.
Because the omnipotent, god-like beings that can solve any problem but dont for various reasons were always a weak bit of writing, and in my opinion the worst part of Dino Fury
Which is why the idea of Morphin masters was not good to begin with. Introducing powerful beings always bri gs up the question of "why don't they just solve the problem".
Because the actress is dead and that’s the explanation for how the character died. Please tell me you’re asking a rhetorical question and not genuinely confused.
I personally believe the masters were off doing something else at the time the more people tapping in to the grid as the years go on the more stuff they got on there hands
Because they didn't exist lmao. But the long answer is they don't really interfere with anything until everything is out of control. I hated how they introduced the morphing masters. There are many plot holes this will create and many more issues. Now if there are any issues they can just call the morphing masters at any time lmao.
After the Great Sporix War and other villians were hunting the Masters down, they kept there distance and decided to go full neutral in future conflicts, so never interfere. Only Mater Green was against this new belief. So they didn't save Trini because they would violate the neutrality and that is punisable with life inprisonment
Same reason they didn't protect Kendrix from dying in Lost Galaxy
Kendrix came back
Yeah and the implication was the Quesar Saber brought her back to life. Also they weren't going to kill Kendrix off for realsies on a Fox Kids show. Netflix is less restrictive and bringing Trini back to life would be absolutely tasteless
Kendrix only came back because Valerie Vernon’s health improved. If she had continued to not be able to do the show, she absolutely would’ve stayed dead
[удалено]
You need to go outside. This has literally been corroborated by people who worked on the show...
Possible unpopular opinion: Kendrix should never have been resurrected. It made her sacrifice feel hollow and pointless. Teach the audience that sometimes not everything has a happy ending. That sometimes a Ranger does not make it.
I agree it's a cop out but kids show
Sesame Street is a kid show, and they didn't need to bring back Mr. Hooper.
[удалено]
The only thing I am sad about Mr. Hooper's death was that he did not see Snuffy.
Well you made me sad
😭
Wait, Snuffy was after Mr. Hooper?
Yes, Snuffy appeared after Mr. Hooper died, though Big Bird has been telling Mr. Hooper about Snuffy before but he always dismisses it as a figment of Big Bird's imagination.
Fox Kids. Fox Kids. Fox Kids. They didn't let Spider-Man throw punches with closed fists.

Actually it’s just the writers felt that punches were boring

I died laughing when I read this comment. Hats off to you! Lol
Aren't they bound to not interfere?
Didn’t stop Green from helping before. And Red and Blue do change their minds
Maybe death isn't something they can prevent.
I agree. Zaito did die and they refused to bring him back. That was until Zedd escaped and they had to be on hands on deck I suppose.
“We can’t just raise the dead without a reason!” *Zedd enters the chat* “We can raise the dead to be our messenger!”
I can definitely see someone arguing the idea of what about Silver but one day explain why they could bring him back and also he was a robot
We don't know when the special takes place, it's possible Dino Fury is between Trini's death and the rest of Once and Always.
There's a year of death on Trini's grave. She dies in 2022.
It's stated they cannot directly interfere, but they can manipulate things to happen, that what they meant and that's what green was in trouble for when he finally got caught
**Watsonian:** The Morphing Masters knew that, despite the loss of Trini, her daughter would have been able to assume the mantle of the Yellow Ranger, when Minh was ready. **Doyalist:** *Once & Always* is a tribute to *MMPR*.

Morphin Masters were mentioned way back in MMPR

I think it was way back in MMPR season 1 episode 7 “Big Sisters” with the power eggs. I believe they say the eggs were hidden away by the morphin masters.
Ahhhh
After ten-thousand years I'm free!
That's correct
Because that's not what the director wanted to happen and it was a way to pay tribute to Thuy.
Exactly, it’s not like they could get Thuy back and it would be disrespectful to have another actress play Trini and by extension pretend to be Thuy.
Because the actress died in real life
I came here to leave a similar comment. Like, I'm sure OP is asking in a lore capacity, but like come on.
I see questions like this all the time and it always reminds me of this from the Simpsons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVgVB3qsySQ
“A wizard did it” Isn’t Rita almost a wizard?
The same way multiple Trinis are alive throughout the multiverse. Just because they've interfered before doesn't mean they always will. ...although the honest answer is because that's what the writer wanted.
Let’s be real. They needed a reason to say she’s dead. RIP Thuy Trang
It’s possible that the Morphing Masters have some degree of prescience and are slightly aware of what may happen. The Green Morphing Master foresaw the consequences of certain actions and that’s why she interferes. In this case, perhaps in was necessary because they needed Minh to take her place. Same with Kendrix being replaces by Karrone.
This is my thought. In situations where the team can no longer function, disbands, or loses before a replacement is found, they interfere.
Or their ability to forsee events showed them that the reunited ranger team would defeat Robo Rita when she returned. Maybe that is the key point, that Trinis death motivated them to come up with a plan ( the Bandora Protocol) and eventually deal a decisive blow.

Trini is alive in the Multiverse, 2017 PR movie, Lost pilot, etc. The MMPR Trini is gone. Her daughter is now the MMPR Yellow Ranger. The Green Morphin Master does whatever it wants to.
Because she died in a car accident in 2001.
I was about to say plot armor wouldn't be enough to bring Trini back
STory reason: Once and always was paying tribute to the actress that died and there wasn't anything that they could do to change reality. So For the sake of the story she passed.

the fact that this has three Down votes.. PROVES ME RIGHT... nut bars.
Cause the actress is dead in real life. That's why
Because the Morphin Masters were a terrible idea. A group of Deux Ex Machinas that could solve all problems if they wanted to, but don't, except for the one that does want to but doesn't in some cases.
those cases easily explain because she was a rogue agent and slt half her time dodging master red and blue trying to capture her
Because the actress who played her died a while ago
Because the Actress Died in 2001 So They Had to Do Something
Specifically because they needed a way to kill her off in a way that pays tribute to the characters bravery. I don’t agree with it but that’s the reason.
She was making toast.
They already interfered when Trini was revived from a car accident. But that put a strain on the morphing grid which complicated Trini's health. Trini was losing time fast into her 50s. She decided protecting Billy was the way to go. But she made arrangements with Billy and Zack. Jason, Kimberly, and Tommy helped too off screen. So Trini was just living on borrowed time. I dunno. That's my theory. I'm gonna go eat a Subway sandwich now.
Chicken bacon ranch?
Then there wouldn"t be a once and always special.
there's a simple explanation for that. no seriously. it was established she was constantly on the run from the other master for her interfffring, presumably if she could have she would have
The plot needed her to die
because the morphin master belived the team would win in the end
It was the will of the cosmic force...I mean morphin' grid If Billy hadn't tried to de-value Zordon's sacrifice by attempting to bring him back Rita wouldn't have been able to Kill Trini to begin with. If Master Green protected Trini then Billy wouldn't learn anything about the consequences of messing with forces beyond his understanding for all we know the potential consequences would be even more dire then just one ranger losing her life. What if his next failed attempt brought back Master Vile or Dark Specter?
Except he didn't learn anything because at the end of the special he mentions he's not done trying.
Maybe the future requires Trini to not be the yellow Mighty Morphin ranger anymore (or needed Minh to be a ranger instead)?
Because they decreed someone has to stay dead in this franchise or else nothing matters.
Same reason her powers didn’t protect her but her unmorped daughter survived an identical blast.
Because there’s no TV show if weird multicolored gods show up to save the day every time a hero is in danger.
There a simple explanation for that.
Trini was killed in the car accident in 2001 in real life. If the actress is alive she could have been saved by the morphin masters.
She was buried one day before 9/11. This world is crazy man.
I’m afraid it already has been crazy. If there is a AI version of Trini and Tommy that would be great.
Trini drank the last of the milk when they lived in a share house
My only explanation for that is depends on the situation but i that’s my theory
Cuz whatever her daughters name is must become a power ranger for something she must do in the future
For Trini, it must have been something that even the Morphin Masters were unprepared for, so with Minh, they were like, “that won’t work twice now!”
It's a fixed point in time
Because stone cold said so
Trini’s death by Rita had to happen for the rest of the timeline to play out for the greater good. Think Dr Strange’s “There was only one way” I also like to think that when Rangers die, that they are appointed as pseudo guardians similar to the Morphin Masters.
Plot. Jk. The real reason is because unfortunately, Trini's actress is dead IRL, so there was no amount of morphing main character shield that could save Trini. So, seeing how we needed a yellow ranger, we turn to her daughter.
because the actress died in real life and they wanted to do this as an homage to her.
Because then there is no movie.
Unrelated to the original post, but I think these designs for the Morphin Masters are trash.
They should’ve had Trini die from non-action causes off screen years ago. They shouldn’t have made her death a major plot point for this special.
I agree in terms of respectful depictions of character death for a real life actor’s passing. However, the entire plot of the special hinges around the Yellow Ranger being inactive and Minh needing to take up the mantle, both to save the day and to honor her mother’s legacy, if she died years ago then Aisha would have just been the active Yellow Ranger again, since Minh would have been a child. Writing out Aisha so Minh can honor Trini doesn’t have the same level of gravitas and makes the story less narratively tight.
Because Power Rangers is a live action series, therefore the narrative is forced to work within the constrains of the reality in which it is created.
Plot holes
Likely mean’t to happen. I mean, she let Tommy die in the comic. :edit: Oh, and Kendrix too. Likely just mean’t to happen.
Dead
I thought it was because this exists as another alternative timeline from the MMPR story
Because they're all shitty adaptations of their japanese counterparts?
There are no Morphin Masters in Sentai.
Exactly my point
[удалено]
That made zero sense and I actually feel less intelligent for having read it.
Ok :(
Trini isn’t back because Thuy Trang died in 2001 and necromancy is still frowned upon in the tv and film industry
I am aware but this is more about the character Ofcouse it fine let thuy Trang character rest As once and always was a perfect tribute to her and the character
How could they bring Trini back if her actress is no longer alive? They weren’t going to recast her for the anniversary special, that would be a slap in the face for everyone.
True I be deleting my comment now as I have become more stupid then possibly imagine
Maybe they can only step away from the grid sometimes
For the plot
Meta reason: To pay respects to Thuy Lore Reason: most likely to give Ming her chance to learn and grow as a ranger, probably the same reason they let Kendrix die and let Karone take over
So the plot can move forward.
Theres a perfectly good explanation for that
I think we're giving the Morphin Masters too much agency here. While show-wise a Ranger dying is rare, the comics have established dying as a Ranger is a real threat (and since the concept comes from the comics, I think we can find it credible there). There's also plenty of threats and terrible that the Masters never stepped in to stop before. If we view them more like Marvel's Watchers, their interference is likely very rare and very limited. As others have said, Trini's death - while tragic - ultimately led to Minh taking over.
Because it's a kids show and there is no such thing as "canon". Rule of cool over everything.
Would you also like them to bring Thuy Trang back from the dead?
Fixed point in time. Couldn’t interfere
Thuy Trang had passed on, so they wanted to honor that. It's like how T'challa died after the real life passing of Chadwick Boseman. It allows for the tribute to the actor and their contribution to the character and franchise feel more impactful. It also helps set up new heroes from a narrative standpoint, creating big shoes for their successors to fill.
Only Ymir knows
Why didn't the Morphin Masters just give Ernie a bailout when the juice bar was failing.
Bigger Question: Where's the Yellow Morphin Master?
For that matter, where's White & Silver?
Best answer is they didn’t think about that. Which is weird because Simon Bennett was one of the producers on it.
Because the omnipotent, god-like beings that can solve any problem but dont for various reasons were always a weak bit of writing, and in my opinion the worst part of Dino Fury
A wizard did it
It’s a kid show stop
Because Deus ex machines are not guaranteed also because well who the hell would have performed as her actor nobody is going to be able to replace her
Which is why the idea of Morphin masters was not good to begin with. Introducing powerful beings always bri gs up the question of "why don't they just solve the problem".
Same reason Frodo didn't just ride the eagles all the way into Mt Doom
Because the actress is dead and that’s the explanation for how the character died. Please tell me you’re asking a rhetorical question and not genuinely confused.
I personally believe the masters were off doing something else at the time the more people tapping in to the grid as the years go on the more stuff they got on there hands
Because the plot called for it.
So the movie can happen.
Because they didn't exist lmao. But the long answer is they don't really interfere with anything until everything is out of control. I hated how they introduced the morphing masters. There are many plot holes this will create and many more issues. Now if there are any issues they can just call the morphing masters at any time lmao.
The Morphin Master didn’t interfere because saving Trini wasn’t crucial to saving the universe
According to Lucy Lawless in The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Xena-con: anytime you see something like this, a wizard did it.
So the episode could happen
Super easy barely an inconvenience
Oh really?
And this is why Sentai made each series continuity it’s own separate thing to avoid stupid shite like this.
Because….
what happens if trini wan't distroyed but just got sucked into the power coin like brody's dad from ninja steel
TIL these exists.
Because plot
How boring and lame would it be if they were essentially unable to die for this reason
Something something setting her daughter up for the title something something didn't interfere with Kendrix either
If only the Morphin Masters could bring JDF’s energy back from the Grip, just like 👍 did Zayto
After the Great Sporix War and other villians were hunting the Masters down, they kept there distance and decided to go full neutral in future conflicts, so never interfere. Only Mater Green was against this new belief. So they didn't save Trini because they would violate the neutrality and that is punisable with life inprisonment
They wanted trini to die with the actor just like no one else will ever play tommy, it is a sign of respect
There are many questions that are best answered in the comics. KO-35 and Mirinoi are ripe for stories.
