Wait, who loves to paint the Egyptians as perfect angels? I've literally never heard that. Only (rightly) that this is a shitty story with no morals because God is a psychopath.

I think Rameses is sympathetic - it's clear that his dad messed him up badly (honestly, I think Seti is the villain of the story), that he could have been a good person, if only circumstances had been different. You can understand why he acts like he does and it's not because he's evil and likes being evil. But that doesn't make his actions excusable in anyway. You can lament that he never learnt better, you can point at his father and blame him, but it doesn't change the fact that Rameses did terrible, evil things of his own free will.

Ramses did terrible things, yes, I agree. Whether in the context of the movie you can understand his characterization or not is, I suppose, another thing. Another thing is is that he inherited a status quo, it's probably morally easier to uphold a barbaric institution just because things have always been that way, than it is to implement that institution in the first place.

But God, and Moses by proxy, was pretty much just as bad. I shouldn't think the slaughter of children is ever an acceptable means to accomplish anything. If God really did have the power to murder people, he should've had the power to magically free the slaves anyway, or spontaneously convert the Egyptians or something. Pointing the gun at the children isn't particularly endearing
