Yup, indeed it was a copout. It'd be like bringing Zordon back to life. It would kill his self sacrifice just like Kendrix sacrificing herself and then her coming back to life ended up killing her self sacrifice. It's not a sacrifice if someone doesn't lose something.

Granted Alex coming back to life wasn't as bad because it wasn't a Disney ending. It wasn't back to the status quo. Alex had been changed... sure, it was a temporary change in behavior... but whatever. Granted I'm not a fan of human characters being brought back to life anyway.

Yes, there is the argument that Power Rangers doesn't need to be teaching kids important messages such as "humans can't come back to life" since it's not based on reality to begin with... considering anyone can survive in Space atmosphere and other stuff like that.
