Oh I hope that happens!!!! But if she does revive Jade, who is she to bring Jade back anyways? A relative of hers? Delia? I want her to be introduced and be present next game (at least the mysterious woman). Plus, why would she talk to Jade and not Kitana right? Most likely, the woman is Edenian.

It might be her mom for all I know. And no, I'm not saying that for the sole purpose of talking about people's moms.

It'd be an interesting story if that woman was Jade's mother as well as Tanya's mother. Making Tanya and Hade sisters. To make the story more interesting, Tanya should have a different father. It can be like the woman had an affair with Edenia's ambassador and gave birth to Tanya while Jade's father would be a soldier from Edenia. A story like that would be fun.
It'd be interesting like in Dead or Alive, how Ayane's father is Kasumi's uncle who raped Kasumi's mother, making Ayane be born.
A story like that would give a reason for Tanya to be angry.

The main reason why people hated MK9 Raiden was likely due to being forced to use him to defeat Shao Kahn in story mode.
Raiden will be back because he is pivotal to the plot of MK10, given that he has to clean up the mess left on Earth (as stated by the end of MK9), and gather EarthRealm warriors for the oncoming Quan Chi and Shinnok onslaught, along with helping Sonya and Johnny Cage.
Kang being dead and a zombie was done to death (no pun intended) in Deadly Alliance, Deception and Armageddon.
Something new needs to be done with him.
Maybe he can become an Elder God, after he is freed from Quan Chi's hold, like in his MK9 ending.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Raiden and Kang the primary heroes of MK? I can deal without one (as you pointed out, Kang has died before, but I'd also like to point out that Raiden sat out of MK3/UMK3 as punishment for transgressions on the part of Carlos Pesina), both being absent is completed unacceptable! Just like you can't have MK without at least one primary villain and without the money-making characters, you can't have MK without at least one of the primary heroes. I'd like to point out that Raiden and Kang have never missed the same game for a very good reason.
Assuming the MK9 story mode holds up and Shinnok and Quan Chi are going to be the main villains of MK10, how the hell is Raiden's absence going to make sense, when Raiden himself was a major contributing factor in Shinnok's fall from grace? Who is Shinnok going to get his revenge on if Raiden is not there? Who's going to lead the heroes to battle against Shinnok? Fujin? Fujin didn't even come into the picture until after Shinnok was banished...he was hand-picked along with 3 others by Raiden himself to guard that amulet (and like the other 3, he was beaten by Bi-Han). Raiden was the one who beat Shinnok in the first place. Who better to lead the heroes into battle than the god who defeated Shinnok once already.

Agreed with this, whole-hearteldy.
You do have a point with Kang, BBBLP, but something other than boring dead zombie has to be done with him, if he does come back for MK10.
I want to see him take his anger out on Raiden, or maybe join Quan Chi and Shinnok.

I agree with BBLP on Liu Kang. Ive never felt he's necessary. However, I do feel that Raiden is necessary. As much as I hated his Mk9 role I do feel like he is pivotal as are Scorpion and Sub-Zero.
I actually kind of liked the Bad path that Raiden was starting to take in Deception. I believe Raiden should be the big boss in the MK after MK10 though with Fujin taking on the role of protector of earthrealm like he was meant to in MK4. Raiden doesn't need to be Bad forever, but maybe if he became bad and then died in MK11 he could come back as Kid Thunder or a reborn good version again.
Haha rambling now, just had to give theories.

What do you mean by "big boss" Subz? And Raiden wasn't really bad, he was still protector of Earthrealm, just very angry and pissed off, not somebody who was transformed into a slave by Onaga and all.
Anyway Raiden WILL be back in MK10, there is no point throwing away one of MK's biggest characters after he has survived.

Raiden was an anti-hero in Deception/Armageddon. He was still a hero in that he wanted to defend Earthrealm, he just took the "win at all costs" route after feeling pissed off over Shujinko being a dumbass.

He turned into a tyrant though and did he not basically feel like humans were useless and would only destroy the world? So he ruled with an iron fist instead of being the good old raiden everyone knew. While that may not be a complete villain it certainly is leaning more towards the bad side. He even brought Liu Kang's corpse back to life. He wouldn't let him rest in peace. I definitely think that he was leaning more towards evil than anti-hero. I also think that he could be a good final villain similar to Shao Kahn or Shinnok. I think Kahn was Bulky and moved slow. I dont know how Shinnok will play (if he is the final boss). However Raiden could be the super quick boss where you are just dumbfounded he beat you so fast. Using all of his teleports and lightning speed (pun intended). I think it could work.
Like say for instance he sacrifices himself again in the next game (similar to Deception). However the result of his amulet driving him crazy makes him feel that humans aren't a necessary race anymore and that in order to keep earthrealm safe he would eradicate all human existence.
The only thing is making the other realms of importance somehow because that storyline would focus on Earthrealm mostly.

I think Liu Kang is necessary because of his status as Mortal Kombat champion. I firmly believe that he has both a right and a responsibility to defend his championship. If I'm not mistaken, he never did lose his championship legally in either timeline (by that, I mean under the rules written by the Elder Gods).

Under the rules set forth by the Elder Gods, Liu Kang was the legal champion in every game but the first one (which is the one he won to become champion to begin with). If Liu Kang is NOT champion, then which official tournament sanctioned by the Elder Gods did he lose? None? Then he's still the legal champion of Mortal Kombat, even in the new timeline. Being killed in the home temple in an ambush or atop a skyscraper in an argument during an illegal invasion of Earthrealm don't count as losing a Mortal Kombat championship...only losing in an officially sanctioned tournament counts.
