Yes, I also love how Aphrodite was their true friend, they been through so many situations together, its so nice they could still count on her despite everything
that's because she is based off of her sailor guardians sailor moon was based off Greek mythology. And Athena is meant to be and represent sailor Galaxia.

@@Felhek Exactly. They had hardships to overcome and they did it well, so you could relate to them. Nowadays "empowered" women are those who think they are entitled to everything and get it immedietly.

People savor the moment too much as opposed to just killing someone. The gods really could've have killed Eve, but Hades and Ares sure wanted to enjoy the moment, smh.
Both Eve and Hope, were not my favorites. I found Xena by accident on one of my tapes and found it interesting enough to start recording it all the time since the station was not that good with their timing. I needed multiple recorders since they were all single tuners.
my dumb question is why didn't the Gods' just blow up the tavern from the outside, I mean with fireballs they kept throwing they could have just blew up the whole building
@@QilinRider21 it's also very expensive to do explosions even with CGI, even with the CGI they had at the time, and expensive to do reshoots on those explosions,
Xena survived being crucified, being hit by a giant log, and countless battles with Callisto (mortal and goddess). Blowing up the tavern would've done nothing to stop her. At least that's what I thought when this episode first aired when I was 14
@@BS10258 if they blew up the Tavern , Xena would have just tossed the shield out to give clues to the audience that she used it to cover Eve and Gabby, and then she would have just woke up with burnt hair and said her line from past season "Gabrielle! I can't feel my legs!" then she'd be psuedo-paralyzed but still somehow fight off the Gods 1by1 and all while guardning Eve and Gabbies lifeless but still alive bodies...
The gods were such a huge part of the Xena mythos and world. Here, they acted like a bunch of dolts and were too easy to kill off. I love Xena, but I hated the Twilight arc. After five years, we FINALLY got to see Athena and Artemis, and they die too soon and too easily.
I loved these episodes and scenes. I liked to pause and rewind so I could see the details of each gods different teleportation and power visuals. Also, lol only Xena could defend and kill so many gods. The odds were definitely against them 😂
Ares could stop time and bring back the dead. Aphrodite turned Joxer into a near Xena level fighter and enchanted a scroll to have practically omnipotent power. Gods in this arc: fireball and bad weather.
Even though this was an awesome scene to watch for action standards, I always hated this arc. To kill the Olympians.. They were part of the greatness of XWP, mythology-wise. It's stupid how 1 character, without any special item (I do like the special God killing items earlier on in the show story-wise), could kill all Olympians.. I also want to add that I loved Athena getting a bigger role but the creators really missed out on Artemis with her whole Amazon connection and through the Amazons, to Gabrielle. Also always disliked that waste of potential. This all said, XWP still is my top favorite show, still though ❤. I just really disliked these things I pointed out.
Didn't the hind's blood have the power to kill a god? I know that was on Hercules but the two shows shared the same world and there were crossover episodes. Could've done something with that.
@@brycerenfeldt330 how cold she be Ares daughter? If she was, Ares wouldn't have offered to protect her and her baby from his family if she gave him a child of there own. After 3 Ares has child numerous times to get with Xena romantically so she can't be his daughter
No one can't tell me Xena wasn't a demigod. She consistently held her own against the gods. At least at some point she became a demi god (I'm thinking that episode when she 1st died and had to be brought back with ambrosia)
Xena had the same problem with power scaling as Supernatural, like at one point Aphrodite made a song that could rewrite reality but the best they got for trying to kill Xena is hurling slow fireballs at her
@Dazzle1 And she's used to being impervious to harm. Hercules never was. She wasn't portrayed as being very wise here. Eve was dying. Just stay away until Eve dies
sad part is Xena was holding back through the first part of that fight as she didn't want to kill any one. When her daughter almost got burned alive thats when she pulled off the gloves and decided it was time to kill some gods.
Her daughter who has done worse than the gods combined. Her daughter who is a mass murderer. But because some holy deity sais that she is forgiven, she is now clean. But the gods must be killed nonetheless. Xena is just a slayer for eli and his cult. Writers deserved to be put in jail for that.
Xena taking care of her beloved family is a dragon!!! * spit fire to Hades * * Lucy is amazing I mean, who risk her face and body like her? Spit fire for real!!!? She is the greatest 😎
This was such a good greek tragegy for the gods - if they did nothing they would have been fine, but read too much into a prophecy which led to their downfall lol
This was some weird pro Israelite Judeo-Christian bs in the show at the time. Saying that the ancient Greek Gods were inferior to that equally mythological God of Abraham in Greece is ludicrous!
I honestly don't think that Xena was ever more powerful than Hercules. She was only given the power to kill gods, and she later loses that power. Hercules can still fight gods and somewhat beat them, with some exceptions.
Good job Athena didnt teleport right behind Xena when she'd thrown her frisbee at Ares! Opponents that only attack from the front when the protagnist is ready are tight!
This Hades actor was a joke compared to the original actor. The original actor for Hades was a badass and was extremely believable. Hades and Xena had a good relationship and when they brought this new actor in, it didn’t feel like Xena and Hades were ever cool.
I love how the one god that knows Xena the best, knows what she’s capable, knows how she fights, has studied her combat for decades, and has swapped hands with her the most just decided to NOT fight her in any capacity here. Totally just said, “Yeah, Imma pass on that but y’all have fun.”

Honestly, the prophecy about Eve came true because Athena and the other gods persued it. If they'd left Eve alone, Xena would've done the same with them.
