Before Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, there was Chōjin Sentai Jetman.

In this video, I dive into the alternate history of what Power Rangers could have been if Saban had chosen to adapt Jetman instead of Zyuranger back in the early ’90s.

Here’s what you’ll find inside:

The story of Jetman: five reluctant heroes infused with “Birdonic Waves” 🕊️

Villains that feel more like tragic anime rivals than Saturday morning monsters 👹

Soap opera-level drama: love triangles, betrayals, and heartbreak in spandex 💔

How Jetman nearly ended Super Sentai...and then saved it ✨

Why it never could have worked for American TV… and why that might have been a good thing

Jetman is messy, dramatic, and sometimes ridiculous, but it’s also one of the boldest, most character-driven Super Sentai series ever made. Without it, Power Rangers as we know it wouldn’t exist.

So… what if the “teenagers with attitude” had been moody bird-people with relationship drama? Would Power Rangers have ever taken flight?

Let me know what you think in the comments. Could Jetman have worked in the U.S., or were dinosaurs always the right call?
