Just as the sun rises and sets, another Sinister Six cycle comes to an end. Today's pick is none other than Gods of Egypt, a goofy, controversial, and extremely forgettable flick from 2016. In a (very) fictionalized version of Ancient Egypt, the god Horus is blinded and usurped by his uncle Set. A young thief named Beck steals back one of Horus's eyes back in hopes of ending Set's tyranny. In the process, Beck's lover Zaya is killed. With his sight partially restored, Horus enlists Beck's help in destroying the source of Set's power. In return, the exiled god will restore Zaya to life. In their journey across Egypt, Beck and Horus are joined by the gods Hathor and Thoth. We should also mention that some of these gods have CGI Saint Seiya armor and bejeweled organs. And Geoffrey Rush gets to fight a giant worm. Is there a moral to this story? Not really. Maybe something about lettuce? We don't know. Just be ready to place your most prized anime figure on the Scales of Anubis for today's (mid) episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake.
