Plot hole: If Minh knew about the Power Rangers, their identities and their history, it makes no sense that she would expect to morph without being specifically chosen to become the Yellow Ranger.
Suggested correction: The rebel teenager archetype. If I had a dime for every time a kid didn't listen I would be a billionaire. It's not a mistake.
It doesn't make sense at all that Minh would expect to morph just because she had a power coin in her possession; she had to have been told about how it works.
Pretend that morpher is a gun and she's a teenager in the real world. To say no teen would pick it up, disobey an adult, just try it themselves is a joke. She's a kid. Kids do stupid stuff and don't listen.
I'm sorry, but I disagree. We are talking about the daughter of a Power Ranger, not a typical teenager. Trini, being the type of person she was, would have explained how it works; it is highly unlikely that Minh would make such a careless choice.
She didn't discover her mom was a Power Ranger until after death. There was a whole scene where she walked in, and Billy and Zach accidentally revealed it to her. Also, itization. All she's done was make careless, impulsive choices.
