I agree with you and also with the other commenters

Hey, fellow person who apparently got into this movie at the same time I did! *wavewave* Have you been listening to the soundtrack nonstop? Because I have.

I think what some commenters might be misunderstanding (and maybe what you could have specified a bit better) is that someone can be a tragic villain while still being a bad person. So I kinda see both sides here. I mean...slavery. And letting his own people be tormented and killed by Old Testament God (who was a major dick when he wanted to be). It's the difference between reasons and excuses -- he sure had reasons to be the shitty person he was, but that didn't make it okay.

But it does also make me feel bad for Rameses (and Moses too, honestly, because I really liked their brotherly relationship and the whole thing could really have ended better but it was kinda doomed by how the Bible (and possibly history) said it went), and his whole "must be a strong leader no matter what and never give in" complex is understandable with his harsh dad and expectations as a ruler and all that.

tl;dr: I think we're meant to feel bad for him to an extent, and also it's nice to have a villain who's neither all sympathetic nor all evil.
