Gods of Egypt earns a 0/10 woke score as pure fantasy adventure built on mythology, power struggles, and heroic battles with zero identity politics or activist messaging.
Gods of Egypt is a straightforward 2016 fantasy adventure centered on a mortal thief (Brenton Thwaites) teaming with the god Horus (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) to battle the usurper Set (Gerard Butler) and rescue his love interest, with supporting roles including Chadwick Boseman as Thoth and Courtney Eaton as Zaya.
The premise draws from Egyptian mythology for spectacle, action, and heroism without any framing around identity politics, systemic oppression, critiques of traditional norms, or DEI mandates. Plot points focus on power struggles, revenge, and divine battles in an alternate flat-world Egypt, following classic genre conventions rather than activist messaging.
