Mummies Alive: Difference between revisions

* [[Demon Head]]: The mummies when extremely angry

* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Combined rather strangely with [[Shown Their Work]]. In some aspects, the research is spot-on; other aspects are just plain wrong. 3500 years ago, for example, most Egyptians wore almost nothing. Pharaoh Amenhotep had no son, and Egyptian spirituality of that time did not recognize reincarnation. On the other side, one episode involves the mummies being examined by doctors, who are baffled by their lack of internal organs; Rath protests that he does have internal organs, and keeps them in jars by his bed. Much of Scarab's magic is taken directly from ancient Egyptian traditions, and most of the hieroglyphics are actually meaningful.

* [[Everybody Hates Hades]]: Anubis is a rather stupid villain in the series, when he was a benevolent deity in charge of protecting the dead in mythology. He is associated with Set, who disowned Anubis in the myths for choosing to side with Horus.

* [[Expository Theme Tune]]: The page quote is part of it.

* [[Handicapped Badass]]: Armon, the team bruiser, has no right arm. However, while transformed his armor gives him back the missing limb. He's still pretty formidable without it.

* [[Henshin Hero]]

* [[Hypnotic Eyes]]: One of the sorceress Chantra's abilities.

* [[Idiosyncratic Wipe]]: Scene-changes were done by having a plate with the series logo... do... stuff.

* [[Mooks]]: Scarab has a never-ending supply of clay minions to send at the mummies. Perhaps the most useless ever, they shatter when hit by pretty much anything.

* [[My Other Car Is an X|My Other Car is a Chariot]]

* [[Powered Armor]]: The Mummies gain armor when they use the phrase "With the Strength of Ra!" to help them fight. Complete with [[Transformation Sequence|stock transformation sequences.]]
