Tuya would never have been in a similar situation.


* When Moses makes Tzipporah fall into the fountain, demeaning and humiliating her, he looks towards his mother for some sort of approval. Instead, she turns away from him in shame, implying that she knows what Tzipporah is going through and feels sympathy for her.

to:

* Rameses being crowned Prince-Regent despite his earlier [[DisappointedInYou dressing down]], showing that not only does Seti still think his eldest son is not weak and worthless, but that he also values his youngest son - Moses - as it was ''his'' idea in the first place (something Tuya makes explicit to Moses) to give Rameses some responsibility.
* When Moses makes Tzipporah fall into the fountain, demeaning and humiliating her, he looks towards his mother for some sort of approval. Instead, she Tuya turns away from him in shame, implying that - even though a Queen of Egypt - she knows what Tzipporah is going through and feels sympathy for her.



** Afterwards, Moses asks why Seti is so hard on Rameses when he knows Moses is usually the one at fault. Rather than dismissing him, Seti explains why, treating Moses as a grown-up: it isn't because of genuine malice or a desire to belittle his eldest son, but rather from a place of sadly necessary severity: Rameses is going to be Pharoah someday and he ''has'' to learn how to act like one. Between this and the way Seti much more gently sends Moses off, one gets the impression that - but for the pressures of ruling - Seti would be a genuinely good dad.



* The film, considering what it is, is surprisingly fair on polytheism. Yes, there are parts where it's implied that the Egyptian gods and goddesses aren't as powerful or awesome as God (as well as being creepy and fake), but given that it's a big part of the source material, it sort of comes with the territory. Despite this, when Moses asks Queen Tuya why he was a part of their family, she says in complete sincerity that she believes he was a blessing.

** And during it, there's Moses and Tzipporah telling Jethro they want to get married, to which Jethro grabs them both in a hug. In a blending of this and CrowningMomentOfFunny, from their body language alone Moses seems to be going about asking somewhat diplomatically, whilst Tzipporah is much more upfront and aggressive. Both efforts are needless, as Jethro just shrugs and pulls both of them into a bear hug, evidently having absolutely no problem whatsoever. (And as shown by the picture, he performs the wedding himself.)

* It's probably worth mentioning that in Rameses's favor, he really was once a brother to Moses; When Moses killed an Egyptian, his first reaction was to try and find a way to save his brother, when Moses came back, his first reaction was to welcome him back with open arms.

* Speaking of Rameses, how about the first scene where he sees Moses again years after he first fled from Egypt. He doesn't snap at Moses, he doesn't accuse him of abandoning the kingdom. What does he do instead? ''Gets off his throne and hugs him''. Considering how much their relationship deteriorates after this, it's nice to see that Ramses and Moses still remembering their brotherly bond.

** Rameses also tells that [[DisneyDeath he had assumed Moses was dead.]] To see your brother, after he ran away into the desert in anguish years ago, and not having any way of knowing he was alive... it's no wonder Rameses pardons Moses of any wrongdoing and welcomes him home.
** When Hotep and Huy bring up the reason Moses left (having killed a slave driver), Rameses ''immediately'' pardons him. The crowd of Egyptians in the palace is stunned, but Rameses sees no reason not to keep the same promise he made to his brother years ago, to "make it as though it never happened".

* Just the presence of God when He's with Moses seems like a genuine parent-child relationship, which is fitting considering God can be referred to as Father. Especially when He yelled at Moses for arguing with Him about not doing what He says, just like any parent would. But then seeing Moses in a hunched position like a scared child, God very quickly regretted His outburst and comforted him, letting Moses know that He is there for him, again like any loving parent would.

* Miriam's big sister instincts kicking in with Moses - even as a child, when she follows her brother's basket down the Nile, getting dangerously close to the palace, just so she can make sure her baby brother's going to be safe there. No matter what happens over the years, and no matter how badly Moses fails, Miriam is the only one who never stops believing in him. She steps in when a mob of slaves is about to get violent with Moses, very likely saving his life.
