Xena was a role model of mine growing up - loved how independent and strong she was and how she could just kickass anyone who came across her, it's a really attractive trait 😊
It's so cool to see Xena at the Twilight of her becoming a hero. You can still see her being very guarded, insure and lost. This really shows how Gabrielle truly helped transform Xena and open her up to goodness. Hercules too but Gabrielle sustained it.
I remember watching this in passing as a kid but I didn’t really follow it. Hercules & Xena takes place before the Xena show? And she wasn’t always a heroine?
@@shinfitz No she wasn't. Xena was in her past an evil warlord who did pretty evil stuff but she eventually changes her ways. Her adventures in the series Xena worrior princess is about her journey towards redemption of her evil past. The first time we actually see Xena is in Hercules (Xena is actually a spinoff f Hercules) tho she is still conniving in the beginning Hercules eventually helps her to change. In the beginning of the Xena series she eventually meets Gabrielle her side kick and they go on to helping the world to redeem Xena's past. You should rewatch Xena. It's truly a beautiful story. It's not for nothing that the fandom is still strong even after all those years lollll it says something.
@@volb9817 Thanks for the summary! I really appreciate it! I think I will check it out. I’ve seen the series but never in order or from start to finish. Thanks again!
Hercules would be the one to settle down and have kids and still help people but Xena even with her heart of gold beauty and strength she would still be hard to tame
Not true at all. Hercules tried numerous times to settle down through the seasons, but always found himself on the road again with Iolas. In fact one of the last episodes hercules and Iolas decide to retire once and for all, and sit down at a fireplace in the middle of nowhere. They sit there in awkward silence for some time, before suddenly stand up and are like "This is boring, lets go be heroes again."
A lot of people don't know the lore in these shows like you do and I do. If it wasn't for Hercules his first impression Xena would have stayed bad. I think they stole that concept from Superman and Wonder Woman
Spiros earned Xena's respect by standing up to her. He knew if he fought her, he'd most likely lose, but he didn't care because he would be fighting for his son. That convinced her.
Salmonues was a friend of Hercules, Ioalus and Xena. He was the one who played a major role in patching the relationships between Xena and the 2 men and turning Xena into her path of redemption. In both Hercules and Xena series, we see him appearing on both shows.
Es mi infancia y adolescencia. Yo veía ambos shows pero Xena me gusta mucho más. Ame mucho su arco y desarrollo como personaje. Aquí es donde empezó todo. Darphus es solo un carnicero , ni de lejos le llega a los talones a Xena peleando.
Yeah, Darphus never made an appearance on Xena: Warrior Princess or was even mentioned, I don't think. I guess they figured that there was nothing left to do with the character. I suppose he could've popped up in flashbacks to Xena's past as an evil warlord that took place before the Xena episodes on Hercules.
I think that was one of the inspirations even with him turning her good and everything same thing that happened with Superman and Wonder Woman in the comics. Wonder Woman wasn't evil but she was a killer😂
if I had to guess, I’d say that in retrospect Kevin Sorbo probably wishes the Xena character never existed…this is based on all his public negativity toward the character and her show in later years
Yeah, most likely. I'd also imagine that he and Lucy aren't friends and don't speak due to his negative comments about her and her show, and him having very controversial opinions as a Conservative which would clash with the way Lucy feels being a Liberal.
It's to bad Lucy and Kevin can't stand each other in real life always fighting with each other. Kevin resents how all the focus went to Xena. Lucy cant stand Kevin's politics and religious views.
@@Passions5555 Yeah I knew they didn't like each other's politics. Then I looked into it. Now it's straight up Venom flying at each other on a personal level. Went as far as saying Lucy only got a job because she was sleeping with the producer who was married so all the funding went to Xena. She had plenty to say as well About Kevin.
@@twk8520Lucy is very liberal, Kevin is a conservative. I can't say I blame him for being resentful, he even said her show took a lot of the writers and directors, as well as her show having a lot more violence and sexual content than his show.
@@PODSMPSG1 Him not getting the credit he deserves it all started with him, I get it. I will always love both shows. His beliefs though are extreme that I don't agree with.
We're these what you would call "good tv shows"? No. However they were very entertaining and funny, mostly because they didn't take themselves too seriously.
One is a religious right wing peanut and a hazben doing a few right wing movies and podcast. The other a great environmentalist, on the board of a children's charity hospital organization (starship) and has never stopped working ( Spartacus, ashe vs. evil dead, parks and recreation, Battlestar Galactica, Salem, X-Files and many more). She has a new show out now called my life is murder that she stars in and produces. She is still just as beautiful.
@@ckcdesign-video Aside from the irony of spelling the word demented incorrectly, it’s an unfortunate choice of word to describe someone who endured three strokes in 30 minutes. It’s clear he’s never fully recovered from his health episode during Season 4 of Hercules.
@@KalEl290 I don't think his 20+ yrs of behavior since then is a result of his stroke. Even John Schulian (head writer of Herc) said KS was "a dumb lug who got lucky" by trading on his looks. I'm sorry he suffered a stroke, though.
@@KalEl290 Having suffered multiple strokes does NOT excuse his behavior. Kevin has said some really messed up and, frankly, stupid things over the years. I am not a fan of his. I like some of the projects he's worked on, but I don't like Kevin himself. He seems like an a*shole. Apparently, some of the people he's worked with felt the same way about him.
The 90's really was the best.
I agreed
Yes!!!! Want to go back and stay
Yes! For sure!
Nope 80’s was better. 90’s started the trend of the downfall of many things in the U.S.
@@hydro.pl.27 Internet, Playstation, N64 and Bond, DVD, text messages, mp3's, the list goes on. 80's was missing a lot.
I lovvvve Xena’s theme! It always gets me so pumped up when you know super warrior Xena is about to come out
Same

Hercules and Xena are perfect as a team!

I swear Lawless has a bit of those TNG Gowron eyes when she stares down an opponent she wants to fight.
The birth of a hero in Xena, love this episode.
Same
@@moriellymoproblems7842 I agree. It's one I watch numerous times over as it's great to see Xena change from bad fighting to fighting for good.
The first of many team ups between Hercules and Xena. An enjoyable moment in the series.
The producers wanted them to team up more often but they said crossovers were expensive.
Many? I think there were 3 or 4 of them at most
@@nike316 I don’t understand that part. Expensive? Both shows filmed in New Zeland.
@@MrMharris1990, I don't get it either, but the director Rob Tapert said he wasn't allowed any more crossovers.
Don't forget the animated movie. That was dope
6:04
Look At Xena's Eyes , She's In Love With Hercules
Couple's Goals : Hercules and Xena ❤
The way I love Xenas theme music & war cry it’s really iconic.
Hercules would be the one to settle down and have kids and still help people but Xena even with her heart of gold beauty and strength she would still be hard to tame
He is the reason why she fully turned good him and Gabrielle

Looks like Xena's going down a new path: The path of redemption.
yes , that´s true.
My favorite scene in this episode! Xena and Hercules teaming up!!!
Mine too
Actually it’s nice to see Hercules and Xena team up together and she worm to Hercules up begin to change her evil way
Lucy Lawless fit her role perfectly as Xena and Kevin Sorbo fit his role as Hercules.
A lot of people don't know the lore in these shows like you do and I do. If it wasn't for Hercules his first impression Xena would have stayed bad. I think they stole that concept from Superman and Wonder Woman
It's a beautiful and iconic part of the show. I loved the fact that they finally teamed up. i loved watching this shows growing up.
Spiros earned Xena's respect by standing up to her. He knew if he fought her, he'd most likely lose, but he didn't care because he would be fighting for his son. That convinced her.
Excellent Xena and Hercules my favorite show 👍🤩😍💖😃
I do miss 90's TV Sinbad, Hercules, Xena...... and Sliders
Xena fight was disappointingly sick I wish it could’ve been a little longer. Killer moment!
Hercules and Xena moments
Today me and my sister talked about this movie. Childhood memory🥺
I've always wondered if Xena is a demi-god. She could parry with Gods and monsters which no ordinary man can do.
One episode alluded to her possibly being the daughter of Ares.
@@bigdaddydiesel5520 That would be so awkward if true but it would make so much sense. I loved that episode. Even the furies couldn’t stop Xena
Absolutely loved Xena as a kid - so cool and badass 💪
Salmonues was a friend of Hercules, Ioalus and Xena. He was the one who played a major role in patching the relationships between Xena and the 2 men and turning Xena into her path of redemption. In both Hercules and Xena series, we see him appearing on both shows.
This One Is One Of My Fav
Looks like a huge horde but it is really the same five guys getting beat up over and over again
Es mi infancia y adolescencia. Yo veía ambos shows pero Xena me gusta mucho más. Ame mucho su arco y desarrollo como personaje. Aquí es donde empezó todo. Darphus es solo un carnicero , ni de lejos le llega a los talones a Xena peleando.
Kevin Sorbo only grew Hair so his fights looked more anymated
The whole part when she tests the father was great
Im here for the nostalgia
Was that Scott Speedman who's playing Hercules cousin?
Hercules always had that shirt wide open 😂😂 so unnecessary
Not complaining 😏
After Xena got her own show, but it’s interesting we never heard anything else about Darphus on Xena?!?
Yeah, Darphus never made an appearance on Xena: Warrior Princess or was even mentioned, I don't think. I guess they figured that there was nothing left to do with the character. I suppose he could've popped up in flashbacks to Xena's past as an evil warlord that took place before the Xena episodes on Hercules.
Darphus was eaten up by Aries pet dog.
Hercules & Xena
I'd like to see prequel tv series about evil young xena just like they did with young Sheldon young Hercules young rock Also lucy could do voice over?
Hotns blowing call her name makes way the Warrior princess is here. The english of xenas themme tune.
Hercules And Xena Reminds Me Of Superman ( Henry Cavill ) And Wonderwoman ( Galgadot )
I think that was one of the inspirations even with him turning her good and everything same thing that happened with Superman and Wonder Woman in the comics. Wonder Woman wasn't evil but she was a killer😂
I can't believe he killed that guy lol everyone else is doin cool karate moves and he's straight up stabbing a guy to death
He stabbed his wife's killer
Daí surgiu a melhor série sobre poder feminino= Xena.
👌👌
One of them went on to be a Trumper. The other one didn't.
Biden and Trump are both weird people imo
Poor Kevin 😔
Who cares?
Something wrong? Trump maybe weird but he get stuff done. That's coming from a foreigner.
Imagine bringing that up in this comment section. SAD AF
if I had to guess, I’d say that in retrospect Kevin Sorbo probably wishes the Xena character never existed…this is based on all his public negativity toward the character and her show in later years
Yeah they took a lot of resources away from Hercules in order to make Xena.
Yeah, most likely. I'd also imagine that he and Lucy aren't friends and don't speak due to his negative comments about her and her show, and him having very controversial opinions as a Conservative which would clash with the way Lucy feels being a Liberal.
@SlasherIncorporated Definitely.
🙌👌
No winning fight is better without Hercules and Xena fighting nasty evil people. Hercs and Xena work better fighting together against evil.
Alguien es español 😆
Went downhill after the 90s.
It's to bad Lucy and Kevin can't stand each other in real life always fighting with each other. Kevin resents how all the focus went to Xena. Lucy cant stand Kevin's politics and religious views.
Whoa...I did not know that 😮😢

What exactly makes a TV show "good" or "bad"? Both of those terms are subjective, after all.
Ay Caramba Hercules

I was thinking the same thing. I got Acorn TV just to watch Lucy's new show. She's amazing. I saw Kevin do some dimented conspiracy rant. Really sad.
@@ckcdesign-video me too! I love that show. They should be filming more episodes after the holidays.
