How about just retconing SPD as an alternate possible future? (Time Force however would remain as the actual future)

They could use timeline is divergentmodel, where the flow of time is like a straight horizontal line and if you go back in time and change something in the past, you don't change the future but instead create a separate line from the point you changed, thus creating two possible futures that branch out in their own way.

Hey, it may sound a little complicated but trust me-this is a simple theory in comparison to any of that "dimension x" or Hexagon stuff Amit came up with.

Some people might say "at that point why bother with continuity at all? Other long running shows often retcon", yeah well none of those shows keep reminding you of how awesome the first season was. If they're gonna keep referencing and throwing continuity nods to MMPR, they should give 'em to the other seasons too.

Nothing major, but an acknowledgment here and there couldn't hurt could it? Disney surprisingly did it surprisingly well.

Other seasons might not have been "as awesome as MMPR" but they all contributed to keeping PR alive for 20 years. In fact, Turbo might have been bad but if we didn't get Turbo, we might not have gotten In Space.
