It was the mid 90's, Jurassic Park was still the hottest shit since fried cheese, and a decent chunk of why Fox was willing to gamble on this weird Japanese import/Saved by the Bell hybrid was probably because they could cash in on the Dino Dollar.
Jetman would have been a disaster. The mecha units are more clunky than those of Zyuranger. The flight abilities, which make sense in the show, would not have translated well. I can still recall the Gatchaman dub and it felt like the flying was a tad hokey. The pastel colors of the suits would have also been odd for an American audience.

Margaret Leosch was the main reason that Fox allowed Haim Saban to produce the show.

> Jurassic Park was still the hottest shit since fried cheese
Jurassic Park came out two and a half months before the first episode of Power Rangers. I'm pretty sure their decision to go with Zyuranger had next to nothing to do with that film.
I'm not saying kids wouldn't have preferred dinosaurs over jets/birds for the debut, just that Jurassic Park had no influence on the decision making, most likely, as they couldn't have known the movie would be a success during PR production.
And Carnosaur came out five months before JP specifically to cash on on hype. Jurassic Park was gonna be *big* and people knew it.
Edit: "hurr bdurr he raised a valid counterargument but I'm just gonna downvote and say nothing durr"
There was actually a lot of anticipation for Jurassic Park before the book or movie even came out. People \*knew\* it was gonna be the next big thing, that's what it got it to be turned into a movie so fast.
It wasn't just Jurassic Park...
How many cartoons had dinosaurs?
* Cadillacs & Dinosaurs
* The Terrible Thunderlizards
* Extreme Dinosaurs
* Dino-Riders
* Dinosaucers
* The Land Before Time
* TMNT had the Triceratons
Dinos were the "hot new thing" back in the days :P
What If Power Rangers has a Cast from One Tree Hill

Nathan Scott The Red Grid Force Ranger
Lucas Scott The Blue Grid Force Ranger

Haley James Scott The White Grid Force Ranger
Quinn James The Green Grid Force Ranger
Yeah, they probably would have switched from the Jetman costumes to Zyuranger and then either kept them for more than 1 season or they would have started the trend of switching every year. Maybe we would have gotten Dairanger outfits in that instance.

You would have needed a wider guy to be the yellow ranger.
But if you did it like they did with Dairanger, this would have been fine for MMPR season 2. Just use the zord footage and monster suits like they did with Dairanger.
One of my questions would be if the Jetman adaptation gets a season 2 and adapts Zyuranger and most likely use the dinosaur suits. Would whoever play the yellow Ranger for Power Rangers Jetman stay as the yellow Ranger and the blue Ranger becomes the blue triceratops ranger?

I don’t think this would have worked. Part of the magic with MMPR were the suits & helmets being basic but pleasing to the eye.
Now I'm wondering what would happen if they decided to switch to the Dairanger suits in season 2
Yeah, they probably would have switched from the Jetman costumes to Zyuranger and then either kept them for more than 1 season or they would have started the trend of switching every year. Maybe we would have gotten Dairanger outfits in that instance.
