Why did Zedd leave Rita in charge?
 

It seemed odd for him to just leave Rita in charge when she fought his greatesr rival.

He must have thought she could handle things.

He must have thought Zordon had no chance to beat him and left Rita in charge. It was pretty odd.

Vile already started to invade Zedd's Dark Galaxy. Rita betrayed her father and warned Zedd so she could run the Terran Sector for Zedd. While he trended to the Dark Galaxy. Which took thousands of years to fall to Vile.

Thats actually an interesting idea. Zedd must have had something important to do . He gave up fighting Zordon and left Rita in charge. He wouldn't have done this unless something major was happening elsewhere.

Zedd must have thpught Zordon wasn't as much of a threat anymore. He didn't seem worried about him once he took over for Rita. He thought destroying the Rangers would be easy. At least at first.

Zedd didn't really care about the Earth sector. But saw Rita's failure to conquer Earth as a embarrassment. So he got involved and became obsessed with destroying the Power Rangers.

I can't imagine there being something more important that defeating Zordon. Its odd Zedd would allow Rita to have the responsibility of Rita doing this herself. Also why would he want Rita to have the glory?

Rita must have sold Zedd a bill of goods and made herself look more powerful than she was. Which is part of the reason Zedd is so mad at her.

It really makes no sense The problem is they made this all up as they went along. So later plot developments contradicted themselves.
