just a tidbit to tell:

Even though Shinnok was no longer an Elder God he still retained the power of Elder God, meaning he could have revived Quan Chi (in MK Gold Shinnok restored Baraka and Mileena to life). Not restoring Quan Chi would later prove to be Shinnok's biggest strategic blunder. Sure, previous series hinted that Quan Chi is devious, potentially treacherous, untrustworthy and all, but at the time Quan Chi was needed for strategic reason. If Quan Chi was at the Sky Temple, along with his revenants, not only there was a high chance Quan Chi would have repelled the four newbie warriors, even if Quan Chi lost he still would have made the four fighters waste considerable time and strength.
