** Zaya is defined by her worship of the gods and how she's able to motivate Beck to think better of them. Courtney Eaton would later get fame for ''{{Series/Yellowjackets}}'', where she plays a DarkMessiah who's able to get people to worship her in a similar way.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Astarte and Anat are a pair of {{Dark Action Girl}}s, and the only female warriors in the film, and they ambush Beck and Horus while riding two dragons. They're defeated surprisingly quickly and it's a little sad how underutilised they were.
* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Courtney Eaton turns in a genuinely heartfelt performance as Zaya, and imbues her [[spoiler: walk through the underworld]] with a proper grace and tragedy.

The biggest "unfortunate" part comes from how all but one of the superpowered, explicitly greater-than-human gods are white, whereas the Egyptians they rule and are worshipped by... aren't. Unless they're a main character, in which case they're white too. The studio itself eventually apologized for this before the movie came out.

*CompleteMonster: [[DrivenByEnvy Set]] grew jealous of the love and adoration his brother Osiris gets and decided to TakeOverTheWorld. Killing Osiris and tearing out the eyes of his nephew Horus, Set uses his army to conquer Egypt, enslaving most of humanity and denying them gold, which humans use to pass into the afterlife, thus condemning them to [[BarredFromTheAfterlife eternal suffering after death]]. Waging war and slaughtering the rebellion against his rule, coldly killing his wife, Nephthys, and then trying to kill his lover, Hathor, Set killed Thoth and tore out his brain. Using Horus's eye, Osiris's heart, and Thoth's brain to empower himself, Set killed his father Ra and used his spear to unleash [[EldritchAbomination Apophis]] upon the world, planning to destroy all of creation, including the realm of afterlife, and then remake it [[InTheirOwnImage in his image]].

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Ra can come across as this towards some viewers. While what he did to Set was meant to be a test for him to ensure he is ready to take his place in fighting Apophis, Ra's actions instead come off as being shallow and cruel due to making Osiris king of Egypt and blessed with a son while Set was made to wander the desert and be incapable of having children. This in turn meant that because he couldn't have children, Set couldn't grow to truly love anyone else in his life which made him bitter and jealous of his brother's more happy and fulfilling role as king. It ultimately for a few people makes Ra seem like a hypocrite when he calls Horus out on his actions but never seems to acknowledge that he might have failed to properly ensure Set would remain on the right path.
