History YMMV / TadTheLostExplorer

* DesignatedHero: Our titular protagonist is no better than Max Mordon, as both lie to the female lead (The villain admits it while the protagonist is too busy celebrating his discovery that even doesn't apologise to her), steal (While the villains only are interested in stealing ancient reliques, Tad and friends actually steal things that are used by other people for a living) and even kill, not to mention, he puts in real danger his co-worker when he's "working."
* EsotericHappyEnding: A minor example - everybody sure seems [[HappyEnding very happy at the end]], but strangely, [[LeftHanging no mention]] is made of the fact that [[spoiler:Tad is still unemployed..]]
* TheWoobie: The Mummy, in the beginning and the end of the sequel. There's also his (and the other guards) backstory, having to leave everything he has ever know to protect some pieces of his culture and possibly escape the inevitably invasion and/or slavery of the Spaniards.

** A joke in the sequel about the mummy blaming his public defender for being banished has infuriated actual public defenders.
** Occupational risk prevention technicians aren't happy about the first two films as well, as in the first film, Tad foolishly risks his own life over a coke bottle, and in the sequel he actually harms his boss with solid cement and doesn't face serious consequences because of it.

* CounterpartComparison: A character who comes from a kingdom that is related to the sun, spends most of the time insolated and his/her only real friend in his/her confinement is a small critter that can understand and talks to, uses a cooking object as a weapon [[spoiler:has magical powers and had to deal with a dark haired person who craves immortality.]] If we hadn't told you which movie we're talking about, you probably thought it was [[Disney/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel]], and not the Mummy. Also, both are energetic, outgoing, adventurous, bubbly, free-spirited, and don't know much about the social conventions of the outside world.
