Also, take in mind that Shinnok created the amulet millenias ago. He used it to try to take over Earthrealm but was stopped by Raiden. In this case, Raiden takes the amulet and puts it under protection. With the amount of time the amulet was taken from Shinnok and brought back to him he could've forgotten how the amulet looks or feels. It was a long time. Some people can barely even remember what they did last week. That's indeed true. In that regard, in the 2nd timeline Quan Chi has been portrayed to be MUCH weaker. I don't quite understand why. It's almost like after losing the amulet, he barely has any power left, and to me that makes no sense.

Even back in MK9 we saw how powerful he was. Don't forget, he was the one who freed Shinnok in the first place. If you remember what he said in his MK4 ending, that if it weren't for him, Shinnok would still be a tortured soul in the netherrealm.

It makes me wonder just how powerful Quan Chi truly is, and by that I mean how powerful he is before he EVER got his hands on the amulet (ie, before he freed Shinnok in the first place).
