One thing that beats me is why sub-zero is returned back to his human body by Quan Chi, but Jax doesn't have his natural arms back.

Sure you'll say that Sub-zero having his human body back is explained in the comics, while possibly Jax "returns" through the blood pool at Quan Chi's Fortress, as Johnny almost did in the story mode.

But then, in story mode, while Johnny was dying, a new body, his alleged revenant body, spawned, nude, from the pool. If that actually is the method used by Quan Chi to resurrect the revenants, then it's fine to asume Jax' new revenant body spawned complete, instead of armless, and someone took the nuisance of cutting his arms of, crafting some artificial arms (of horrible taste) and putting them on him, which seems quite far fertched to me, as I don't really know a single engineer from Netherrealm, nor see Quan Chi taking his time to build some nether-tech arms (which I find oddly funny, somehow).

I'd say that's quite a plot hole.

I even think it would have been deeper and more interesting, if the returned Jax had something real to thank Quan Chi for: his organic arms. Sure he would have loved his wife much better when returning back to true life. At least he would have felt her while holding hands, which serves as interesting start to build some actually good story. Maybe Jax feeling remorse about it? Maybe he hating to have to thank Quan Chi?
