Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.


* BadassBeard: The Pharaoh who orders the death of the Hebrew firstborns has a big one. Moses later grows a beard. And Jethro has a big beard.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: As evil and selfish as the Pharaoh is, he seems to genuinely love his son. During the Plague of Darkness, he became concerned when his son told him how scared he was of the darkness. He also was greatly distraught over the tenth plague claiming his son’s life. Special mention goes out to him attempting to keep watch over his sleeping son despite it doing him no good.

It is true that Egypt has been a crossroads and melting pot since time immemorial but the problem is that a lot of those background characters are supposed to be Hebrews and are thus supposed to be the same ethnic group.

* HappilyEverBefore: As usual. The rest of the story is a cycle of Hebrews screwing up badly, Moses begging God for mercy and some Hebrews dying. At least the older generation will not see the Promised Land.

* SettingUpdate: A minor example. Rabbinical Judaism tells us that Moses lifespan corresponds to 1391-1271 BC, telling us the Exodus happened in 1311 BC and thus that the Pharaoh of the Exodus would have been Horemheb, the predecessor of Ramesses I who is the father of Seti. Jerome, on the other hand, gives Moses' year of birth as 1592 meaning the Exodus would have been in 1512 with Thutmose I as the Pharaoh and Ussher gives Moses' year of birth as 1571 meaning the Exodus would have been in 1491 with the Pharaoh being Thutmose II.

Familiar with WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt? Good. Squeeze that movie into a forty-six minute run time and this is basically what you get. This is what Creator/GoldenFilms released in 1998 in the grand tradition of the {{Mockbuster}}.
