Honestly, Hercules is starting to get boring as a character. He acts like he's sick of everything around him. His typical reaction to anything is to look tired with an expression on his face, "well, what have these idiots come up with again." Seriously, he needs Iolaus. Iolai is cool and full of very real optimism and is able to communicate with people as adults, and not as annoying children.
Hercules is the messiah with a mission to free people. "Is it possible to treat people like things?" I don't know, great democrat, it's easy to live when you're a demigod and the beloved son of Zeus.
In general, it is a pity that they did not think through the plot twists associated with the fact that the pharaohs are descendants of the Egyptian gods.
