Historical inaccuracy. While El was an alternative name for Yahweh used by Israel's neighbors, their depiction was vastly different to the point of being two completely seperate entities. More than that, the similarities between El and Anu are superficial at best. Nice idea, but this troper may have been trying to stretch a bit too far.


* [[spoiler: The earliest incident Mary mentions to Hancock in the hospital is them having been attacked in Sumer. Combined with her describing her and Hancock as having been known as Gods and Angels to various cultures, it's worth pointing out that there was a Goddess in Sumer that was later known as Mary, Asherah. Asherah was the wife of the Sumerian god Anu, the equivalent to the Ugaritic god El, who became later known as Yahweh. Yes, THAT Yahweh.]] Guess who the only two deities of that pantheon [[FridgeBrilliance still active in modern times]] are?

* When Hancock has sex in the Unrated Cut, it ends up being DestructoNookie, and he almost kills his partner. [[spoiler: How was Mary able to conceal her powers since she was married?]]
** With Great Power [[IncrediblyLamePun Comes Great]] Responsibility.
** Maybe she fakes it.
* When Ray is introduced, he apparently has some hot reputation that is immediately dispelled by his actions at the meeting. How did he get his rep in the first place?
* After Hancock healed and began suffering from amnesia from being injured and hospitalized, why did Mary never come looking for him again during the decades before hooking up with Ray?
** As explained in the movie, they become mortal and vulnerable to injury and age if they stay together. Perhaps she just wanted to stay immortal, powerful, and youthful to avoid dying like the other members of her race. Either that or she just wanted to forget and get away from Hancock because of past baggage and be with other mates. In her own words, she and Hancock broke up decades before Ray was born and she didn't think Hancock would miss being around someone he didn't remember, so she figured it was completely fine to let him think he was the only one of his kind.
*** It seems moreso that Mary tends to be the one who causes trouble and Hancock takes the hit for it. So looking at the time period, it is unwise for Mary a white women and Hancock a black man in the 1930's to 1960's to be seen together in the US. Also for Hancock in general, being black and mortal during this time period could pose a problem. So for his own protection she stays away so he can remain powerful.
* Mary mentioned those of her race like Hancock are drawn to one another and that Mary and Hancock have been in an on-again off-again relationship for thousands of years due to various past incidents. Does that mean after Ray eventually dies, the two will continue the same song-and-dance all over again until Hancock decides to finally stop being a hero and wants to stick close to Mary?

* During one scene, Hancock uses the word homo extremely liberally. It CrossesTheLineTwice that he says it while in the modern day when homosexuality and same sex marriage are accepted. [[spoiler: Then we figure out he's immortal and his last memory of his life was in the 1930s, a time where among most things, homophobia was accepted behavior. So he was really just saying what would be expected from a FishOutOfTemporalWater]].
