Night #369 - Initial Reaction to SOTT

Here's my initial reaction after watching SOTT last night. There are spoilers, I'm pretty sure, and don't get me wrong, otherwise, it's a good movie. But Kahmunrah, from Battle of the Smithsonian, is a pretty fucking huge oversight (there are other, smaller ones, but they don't infuriate me like this one does). Would it have been too much to give Ahk a throwaway line just to remind us that his brother does, indeed, still exist?

(Or, and this is creepily meta and terrifying, was Kahmunrah completely erased from all of existence for his crimes, and is that why no one remembers him?)

  1. If I Were Larry, I Would Say This To Akmunrah and Kahmunrah's Parent: "Why Dint You Let Kahmunrah become king!?!? He Rightfully Deserved It And You Gave It To Akmunrah For No Reason! You Didn't Give Kahmunrah the life he deserved and nothing came out of it except him trying to kill everyone!!!"
    Not To Mention Kahmunrah's mom is the queen of the underworld, and Larry shown no sign of fear to THE GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD!!!!!!!!, and Kahmunrah did mention that his mom was the queen of the underworld to him like 2 times!!!

    1. It's actually mythologically correct for her to be the Queen of the Underworld, because the king essentially becomes Osiris after death.

      He might've simply been a little too stunned with their attitudes toward his people to be able to advance any other sort of causes (though he did handle it very well, I must say).
