I can forgive him being a Nubian with "I are pershun" stuck to his loincloth label. He was preposterously tall. His infra-bass voice - true to the comic - was clumsily done, but mostly he was a simpering queen. And that was totally bogus, IMO. I was expecting to see casual majesty laid low by Spartan pluck; I got a gilded Claudius-with-nipple-rings, and it annoyed me.
Xerxes' weakness is hubris, not vanity. There's a difference.
The Foxy Cleopatra cameo was nice, but I would say that...
