I loved both shows (Xena and Hercules) as a kid, would wait for it to start religiously. Even watched an episode of the Herc in the hospital before my appendix was removed!!
You mean 99%. The budget is 1/1000, yet, most of the characters are likable and very charismatic, some funny writing, and enjoyable stories. Today has nothing.
This might be the only good reason to be on RUclips. Reminding me of the great nostalgia for Xena the Warrior Princess and Hercules the Legendary Journeys.
I liked how she didn’t go through that now typical Hollywood route of telling Hercules that she didn’t need help. These days, women still have to say that even if they’re being saved from falling from a building. Lol.
Xena totally could’ve handled them herself, but I liked how she didn’t go through that now typical route of telling Hercules that she didn’t need help.
Xena couldn't finish them.off herself though, she clearly needed help. You can clearly see the concern that her best effort wasn't enough in putting them away. Simple fact is, Hercules has super strength, ain't nobody getting back up from one of his hits
@@2Good2BeTrue45 True. But I’m just saying, the writers these days would’ve had her telling Hercules that she could’ve handle them herself, instead of just being thankful for the help.
@@Kayoss13212 this is completely untrue!! What kind of agenda are you peddling? They would have made Herc into a completely ineffective buffoon that needed to be saved by Xena/Gabrielle for three shows straight and then really go into the GRLLLL PWRRRRRRRRR of it all. Fortunately, Xena was about strong female characters but, aside from Joxer, didn't really have to do so at the expense of male characters. And Joxer? Well...
For the title of this video--all the while Iolaus was wounded in the fight and he and Gabrielle connected romantically (while he rested in her lap), albeit briefly, while the titular heroes battled to free Prometheus. Hera needs to be happy for the four instead of fighting Herc! She especially needs to be happy for him!
They had some slick moves on this show and I really liked Hercules' powers of turning that goon into a pile of ash. He might've been a demigod, but he still had powers in some capacity.
That wasn't powers from Hercules. The main ability that Hercules has as a demigod is his godlike strength. The goon only turned to ash because of the sword. The sword was specially designed to cut the chains that imprisoned Prometheus, but doing so would vaporize the wielder, and it isn't limited to the chains that bound Prometheus. Hercules blocked the sword with his gauntlet, but the power of the sword overwhelmed and killed the goon. Striking any metal with that specific sword will kill the wielder.
@@StareachValcin Oh got it. I didn't know that. I hadn't seen this episode and was unaware this was a special sword. Now it makes sense why Xena had two swords (which struck me as odd in the scene).
Hercules also didn't have normal gauntlets, they were forged by a god, I forget which one. He used them to his advantage when fighting gods in other episodes.
Aside from that being the way the scene was written so that everyone did their part right , for the sake of just enjoying the show I always chose to believe that bandits all had some kind of civil pact to let each other have their chance to be the one to have killed Xena/Hercules without interferance, kind of like getting in line at the amusement park to pull the sword from the stone.
The best series. I remember wen run from school for catch episodes of this show. Is amazing how good is even now. Is have comedy, action and actors even put soul in they character. Maby effects wasn't top nocha like now but i saw even now those new movies have worst effects that this series and was like ????????!!!!!!
She did though. She clearly couldn't beat them and that's why she started backing up like she did. They took her best blows and kept coming until Hercules showed up
I miss this so much! Good times! Xena and Hercules teaming up!

Still better than half the trash being released today.
Oh yes 😉

Today has nothing.
Still better than Game Of Thrones.
@@jamie_ghost.johnson season 8 yes. Other then that nope.
I completely agree

Bring back the good days. If you cant remake Xena and Hercules then im still happy to watch the original series.
Xena could have handled them on her own, but it was nice of Hercules to drop in.
I liked how she didn’t go through that now typical Hollywood route of telling Hercules that she didn’t need help. These days, women still have to say that even if they’re being saved from falling from a building. Lol.
@@Kayoss13212 Yes lol. I like how unique Xena is.
@@Kayoss13212 you mean the same Hollywood that pushed the damsel in distress trope down our throats for decades and still to this day?
She would have done the same for him
The plot armor was simply too thick.
Nice way for Gabrielle to officially meet Hercules. A team up of Hercules, Xena, Iolaus, and Gabrielle in Xena's show to save Prometheus.

holy insecurity Batman

@@Kayoss13212one of many reasons i don't watch modern content.

I just loved seeing all 4 of them together 🤩🤩🤩
Yessss! More Xena please!!! 🧡🧡🧡
I love Iolas playful fight style
Xena is such a badass....and even Gabrielle becomes one in her own right as the series progresses.
Precious Childhood memories
I always loved the team ups :)

Team ups were always great
I did not know Hercules gauntlet could do that....... 😮
Don't mess with the son of Zeus and Alcmene. Hercules is a demigod and Zeus is his father.

@@bigdaddydiesel5520 Cool, I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing more of the lore of the Hercules and Xena verse.
@@flintwestwood3596 You're very welcome!
Need Sorbo back
He's to busy talking to god.
XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS could have destroyed them all in an instant.
I loved Xena and Hercules as a kid. Then what replaced them was Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel.
Nostalgia
I don't want to strike Hercules but that with the gauntlet is on
Great 👍😍🤩💖💕❤
Why do they always attack one at a time?
Aside from that being the way the scene was written so that everyone did their part right , for the sake of just enjoying the show I always chose to believe that bandits all had some kind of civil pact to let each other have their chance to be the one to have killed Xena/Hercules without interferance, kind of like getting in line at the amusement park to pull the sword from the stone.

Den a didn't need rescue but it made it easier
I used to have the BIGGEST crush on him when i was 14 ...thought he was soooo hot 😂😂😂 drooled over him lol
omg those sound effects
so............ive seen both stories but i dont recall hercules having a electric gauntlet
It's not an electric gaulet it's a gaulet. Question the sword that was used. That's where you should be curious.
Cool
When i was a kid, i thought hercules and xena were cousins because their shows came on tv around the same time 😂
What happened at 2:04?
That sword is meant to cut prometheus free but overwhelmed the weilder when used. He used it, then got overwhelmed.
Xena made a good Cylon
I had this but I lost it
hmm, i seemed to have missed the electrocution gauntlet feature...that would have been nice to see on every episode of boring Hercules.
GOD i forgot how cheesy these shows were...rofl
Iolaus could have taken them on his own…
I was born in 92.
Comedy fight😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
this show would have been better without all the stupid sound effects. like watching power rangers
Disclaimer: I loved this show!
No joke, as a kid I would get a headache on how stupid these shows were.
YES YES MR DETRONE
ONE OF MY CARDS IS UNLIMITED HERCULES JUNIOR AND SENIOR
WE TAKE IT NICE AND SLOW
AND+AMEN
Xena didn't need his help though.
She did though. She clearly couldn't beat them and that's why she started backing up like she did. They took her best blows and kept coming until Hercules showed up
@@2Good2BeTrue45 what ever happened to the idea that Xena could slay a demon while pregnant and breastfeeding a baby?
The same way Xena be knocking her opponents away like she's got the same strength as Hercules. It's fiction, don't over think it.
