Or maybe it could have something to do with that strange goddess that appears in her ending on the Arcade Ladder. I forgot her for some reason, probably because it was the only time I ever heard about her. Who knows this goddess has something to do with her rebirth? Who knows she not only helps Jade to rise from the dead but also needs her to accomplish something, and gives her new powers to do this?

Thinking about it, this could be the reason why they made Jade's ending that way: to put this goddess in a future game. According to the cutscene, she had been waiting a long time for Shao Kahn to be defeated. Maybe his reign was binding her somehow. If she was freed when he was killed by Jade, than she must be free again now that he was killed/abducted by the Elder Gods, right?

Or maybe Kotal Kahn decided to bind her once again for him to take over... In this case, the goddess could have selected Jade to fight against Kotal and defeat him for her to be freed again.

All speculations, even the theory of the mysterious woman being a goddess (she could be even Jade's mother, like many have theorised), but it's still a better role for Jade than the one she had in MK 9, which was relatively unimportant, isn't it? And correct if I'm wrong, but if Jade's ending was the first time this woman appears in MK, wouldn't this be a nice role for her in the series as well?
