This is really just Alternate Character Interpretation, not a fridge horror for the film as it is

The bandits probably did Kevin a favor whether he liked it or not.
* As also described under AlternateCharacterInterpretation, when the Supreme Being answered "Something to do with free will, I think" to the question "Why must we have Evil?", he might have meant his ''own'' free will (he's the Creator, and nothing can force him to do a perfect creation if he doesn't ''want'' to), making him an AffablyEvil JerkassGod.

* Why does the Supreme Being not revive the warriors who were summoned to fight Evil? The reason could be that they chose to face Evil on their own, and that the Supreme Being considers accepting the consequences of one's choice as part of the aforementioned "free will". Of course, that's a debatable philosophical point of view and could also be counted as evidence of the S. B. just being an AffablyEvil JerkassGod, possibly with BlueAndOrangeMorality. Well, except…
** To be fair if you believe that the existence of God implies the existence of heaven then it really doesn't matter that they died. In fact, as they died facing evil they're almost certainly in heaven, therefore, bringing them back to life would be a bad thing and could very well lead to a Buffy Season 6 scenario.
* …there is probably reincarnation in this world. The appearance of Agamemnon as a fireman at the end does seem to support the idea, and it would handily explain why the Being doesn't revive the dead warriors (they weren't ''truly'' [[CessationOfExistence dead]] at all).
