Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Destruction / Perishing Language

There is no argument that this verse does not support the theme, as it explicitly uses the word "destroy" and describes the cessation of images and the removal of a prince, all indicative of destruction.

Literal Fulfillment

While the destruction of idols and the cessation of a prince in Egypt could be interpreted literally, the "fear in the land of Egypt" is a more abstract concept, potentially open to metaphorical or psychological interpretations rather than strictly physical fulfillment.
