The movie origin is so much better and told in pretty much the same amount of running time so there were no advantages. I really wish they had used that as the origin instead of what we got, I'm aware they didn't own the movie but they could've just started the season with the new Zords and reference without specifying how they had gotten the new powers. And the 4 monsters that helped destroy the Thunderzords (American footage right? That was pretty cool actually) never got destroyed, they just forgot about them, big plothole.

Anywho I'll consider the movie in my own canon as in continuity since it makes no sense to leave it all by itself. You obviously have to ignore why the suits look different but that isn't a big deal, their extra equipment? Somethings Billy added they never used again just like many other inventions from the show, Mordant? He went home if we take his backstory seriously that's not in the movie or we consider him a random monster like the ones from the show that are sometimes seen hanging out. The biggest problem most will snap at is "but they get the Ninja Powers", I've got a solution the movie never references that the Zords are new or they are getting these new powers, you just know that they lost their powers and needed to go to another planet to get them back, so this could take place after Ninja Quest and they already have the Ninja Powers and those are the powers they lose and try to get back not the dino/thunder ones which you assume when watching the movie. The only problem is the emblems changed from Dinosaurs to the ninja animals which you can ignore just as how they still use the dino theme in S3 and yet it doesn't make sense anymore at all and that the Adam shows disappointed on being a Frog but at that time they would've already known they were those animals, maybe they just thought it was their zords and not their actual spirit haha. It really can't be before Ninja Quest since they use the thunderzords until they lose their powers if not you could fit the movie between episodes and say Rito was sleeping or whatever but they do use their powers before they got them again and all around it's a messier explanation.

Not sure if there was ever a reason for this, but GMTV (and SKY also I beleive, though I can't verify this outside of my brother's say-so) aired "A Friend In Need" five episodes into the third season, coming after "Ninja Quest" and "A Brush With Destiny". Confused the dickens out of me at the time

That's so not how it works. You can't just foolishly shoehorn the movie into the show's continuity that way just because you liked "Ninja Quest" better. Especially with how everything in the movie looks compared to the show. They did "Ninja Quest" to make it clear that that's the show's version, and the movie is on it's own. It's perfectly okay to leave the movie by itself, as that's how it was intended to be. You're not hurting its feelings.

Well I'm not expecting others to want it in continuity it's my "headcanon" as some fandoms call it and it's because I love the movie and think it's an awesome story so in my version of the show it took place. The video games did the same it's just what I'll prefer.
