YMMV / Hercules: The Thracian Wars

• Adaptation Displacement: The ads for the film avoided any mention of it being based on a comic book.
• Complete Monster: General Sitacles is Cotys's head military leader, and a vicious warlord who proves himself the worst of Cotys's forces. Leading his army to slay rebel leader Rhesus and claim Thrace for his king, Sitacles commands his men to slaughter, rape, and burn every village they come across to lure out the land's forces and massacre them all. With hundreds of thousands slaughtered upon Rhesus's supposed defeat, Sitacles intends to help Cotys claim all of Greece for himself, and even tortures Hercules upon finding out Ergenia slept with the latter instead of with him.
• Magnificent Bastard: Rhesus is a Rebel Leader who opposes King Coyts for trying to conquer the city of Thrace. Setting up a massive trap that kills a majority of Coyts's army, upon losing most of his own men, Rhesus commits suicide, knowing he'll die a true Thracian. Miraculously surviving his suicide attempt, Rhesus bides his time by forming a new army, leading his men to Coyts under the correct assumption that Hercules will attempt to steal his gold. Upon arriving after Hercules kills Coyts and his forces, Rhesus allows Hercules and his friends to live, just as long as they leave the gold behind.
