Going with Zyuranger for an international film would have been a great (and fascinating) leap to take. Calling the pink ranger 'Mei', the main villain 'Bandora'...
In Pacific Rim, they incorporated an East Asian character as co-protagonist in the story; Mako Mori had the gumption, the attractive outward appearance and the depth of story which all served well in bringing more form to the film. Still, this kaiju-Jaeger movie would have become self-alienated if it were strongly East Asian with a cast composed of Japanese characters.
I think the new Power Rangers film is quite well-balanced. Many commentators have praised the diversity and realism of the cast, and some of them were very impressed by the quality of the acting.
