Could there be two Rita's?
 

We know there are two Zedd's now. One good and one evil. Mystic Mother never jived with Rita's post Z Wave appearance in C2D. Perhaps somehow Rita's evil side was brought back but somehow made good. It still leaves some question marks. But I think it makes Mystic Mother make more sense.

Granted there is tak Barbara Goodson ( voice of Season 1 Rita and Mystic Mother) is back for the anniversy special. That either makes this theory moot or gives us three Ritas.

The robot Rita isn't the original, but a robot replacement, programmed to think like the pre-Mystic Mother Rita. You will have to watch the special to find out the truth. ;)

So we see from the trailer that we are getting a Robo Rita. I would guess that she is separate from the Rita that was purified and went on to become Mystic Mother.

Maybe it's like that one Megamind short where it turned out back when he was evil Megamind downloaded his brain into a robot.

So the special made it clear it was the evil essence of the Original Rita. So the purified Rita is separate .

I almost forgot about this thread.

I did think that was a good idea along with explaining that the Lord Zedd in Dino Fury, and Cosmic Fury isn't really the original Zedd but all of his evil that got left over when the real Zedd turned good at the end of In Space.

It's a good way of not messing with Countdown To Destruction but bringing back old goes
