angelheartonline 🤗🤣🤣me too swimming in the cheese

Me too!

Me too😂😂😂 that and hercules🤣🤣

Yea me too it was chilly looking at now but I love it

There was Gouda in there too.

My only regret he didn't live to reprise this role in Percy Jackson.

Same

XENA WAS AND STILL IS MY FAVORITE SHOW OF ALL TIME!!

Same here

💯

Along with the X-Files, they were the triumvirate of 90s action adventure television.

That's basically what all the show is about. Human passions vs logos conflict, all enhanced by Lucy Lawless' talent. Otherwise it would have been just a trash thing.

And Xena's constant struggle with the past. Many episode showed how easy would be for her to slip back to her old self.

@@xxlCortez Thank goodness for Gabrielle keeping her in check

He’s Dead!🤭😦😦😦

@@TheAngel718Tarot Yepp :(

Meh, War Gods are always Hunks. But their also the least popular because War Sucks.

@Colton Bell 😂😂😂

Agreed! He was way too hot, also talented and a decent guy , RIP!

He died!? Aww man! I'm shocked! And I just read his wikipedia as soon as I saw ur comment! He died in 2002 & I didn't even know that! Daaamnit!😢💔💔💔

tleesmith781 i know right?! He fell off some scaffolding on set for his first role in a huge movie I remember when it happened I saw an interview with Lucy and she was bawling it was soooo sad

Sevyn Tennyson damn I had a huge crush on him too

What a waste of good genes 😢

MegaTamarra swear it was that chiselled jaw and tight leather pants haha

Amen!

There is nothing Lucy can't do. She can play sad, serious, angry, rageful, goofy, tactical. Her range is incredible!

OMG thank you for that mental image...

Kevin Smith for SURE set the precedent for male leading roles such as that..I won't complain about a Jason Mamoa Khal Drogo...though the idea of Kevin having been cast in the role is.....swoontown XD

I've been thinking about Draco and Drogo lol

this is ridiculous

@@calli.catastrophe He could've even been Kratos in a life action God Of War film, but now we will never know since he died way too young. 😭

LOL I remember😄

"Oooh ...." 🎶 Stretch dude and clobber giiiiiiiiiiiirl 😂🎶 lmao

Flies where?

@@youmemeyou I believe it was an episode of the Simpsons

A wizard did it

Me too! This show had some of the most epic fighting scenes! The choreography was sooo on point!

#ADOS

wot

Good job!!!

Seeing how in mythology he was abused and mocked by his family this is actually very heartbreaking for him to say.

Yeah, I was imagining a Maury Povitch moment.

Xena, warrior princess

Like a Jerry Springer show.

True. But he's really not the dad. Because if he was, that would be gross seeing how him and Xena had a sexual relationship.

@@dodavis419 Not si simple. Incest wasn't such a proplem in ancien Greece, and even less for gods. In fact some of the script writers considered he was her father, some others he was not. The producters let them follow their conviction without imposing a global point of view, considering the answer would never be given anyway. They explained that in the original Deluxe Collector's DVDs extras.

With them sexy lips

Yeah I miss him

Ares was is the dopest Olympian! In my opinion.

Yes he is...

So sad that he died years ago.

But dammit, gods in black leather look so fine!

😆

I didn't even realize that he had died, I just thought he had enough of acting. That's sad to learn, he will always be the standard I base Ares off of in other media.

@@sarephbtmistari8909 - If I remember correctly I think he fell off of some building prop or something, but I'm not sure if the prop was for this show.

ForbiddenFish actually it was in Beijing about eight months after this show ended. He was set to make his Hollywood debut too. Such a damn shame.

@@icekokoro2708 - Oh I see. It's been a while so I wasn't sure if that was the case. Thank you for sharing.

I remember his passing coming up in the news. Was only a kid so didn't really think much of it. Too bad, he could have made it big.

Jay Boh , I know she was with Iolas be for, I don’t remember her actually getting with Hercules, I know they came close a few times.

If she has any it’s far back in her blood line and it’s diluted, but it’s possible the way she can sense some of them. And some of her abilities seem more then human.

Which would make Xena Hercules' Niece, so he has a thing with his Niece? That is messed up but hey it's Mythology it's " ALL KINDS A' CRAZY!"

Colton Bell how would Xena be Hercules Niece? Her mother is Mortal and so is her biological father, if she has any Godly Blood it would be far back in her bloodline and no real way of knowing who it comes from.

@@jeanettemartinez5715: Well she said Ares is her father, and she proved it by kicking the immortal b******'s a**, and Ares like Hercules is Zues' son too. She said it herself if she wasn't a Demigod she wouldn't have won.

Lucy was offered the wonder woman role and refused it.

@@maikelfm9520 yep. They were thinking of a movie at that time and went right to her. She said no because she was afraid it would split the franchise of Xena, she worked so many hours on Xena and couldn't imagine doing more. She jokingly said on Howard Stern you wouldn't want to be around me! And she had a young daughter she wanted to be with too. To bad but understandable

So agree,Kevin was phenomenal in all the parts as well.

Kevin smith is DEAD

@@leahbackman7669 what year was Lucy Lawless offered the role of Wonder Woman because i never heard that before.

Ian Wilkinson Nope, leave Xena alone. No show will hold a candle to it. We will just end up with some cheesy reboot that will fail in a season or two.

I’m 98% sure Kevin smith died in the early 2000s in a set accident 😭

mskiwor1 yes he did unfortunately 😢

Plus the guy who played Ares has passed away.

Um please NO

Evelyn Montoya 👈🏾I loved every cheesy portion of it too

Ya

She likes Hercules

Yes. This Story made it ambiguous. How’ve later he wants to have a child with her so I assume the show would but go there and have incest. The myths went there with Zeus and Aphrodite though.

It was going to be a yes but they decided against it because of the yuck factor and they wanted to keep her mortal (even tho to have met all the people she did she'd have to be like 1000 years old lol

Yes xena was made full blooded mortal and ARES IS NOT HER FATHER! they made it up so that the furies would turn xena back normal. Xena was just once upon a time a worshipper and follower of ares when she was evil looking for more better fighting techniques that’s all

And yeah a lot of people don’t get that xena and Hercules was ancient times meaning xena was more then 100 years old. Back then BC people lived 100s of years old Moses lived until he was like 900 years old according to the Bible but because of sin the aging got shorter no one lives longer passed 100 any more People think xena is 35 years lol or 27 nope

Kratos then

If you consider the three women who look identical to Xena and come from widely different backgrounds the Idea that one of the gods could be her father makes a lot of sense. Of course, if Ares isn't her father that would mean Zeus most likely is and that would make Ares her half-brother. Either way she spent a long time screwing a member of her immediate family not that that means anything to the Greek gods their family is basically made of incest. Uranus came from Gaea and together produced Kronos and Rhea who together produced Zeus and Hera who produced Ares. Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter who are brother and sister and she marries her uncle Hades.

@@nicholaskehler9169 Or another god who likes to get girls like Apollo ^^ They also exist the possibility than Xena 's strengh came from spiritual training (Valkyrie, Laoma, Alti, Amazon...) because in her past she does seems as strong than now.

@@nicholaskehler9169 To people looking similar..........smaller human population.

Or the other way around. He's a catch.

He has always liked xena, she was his warrior princess (Sorry bad pun but true)

I don't think he held back, they always fought and trained together. If anything they truly fought and she just tired him out. You got to remember she fights everyday and he usually fights every so often when he gets bored. She probably tired his ass out.

@@vampress18 Of course Ares held back with Xena.

He’s infatuated with Xena there’s no way Ares is her father 😂

Zamn zaddy :)

Digh yes he was

Lmao yes

Mo'Nique is agreeing somewhere

Sure dont

Thank You, Diana

Amen sista

Because of political correctness?

Tom Conradson yes

Jade Nephrite they belong on the maury show

This would be more like Jerry Springer

If Xena & Ares were to be on a TV talk show, also include Diana, Princess of Themyscira aka Wonder Woman.

Jade Nephrite Diana would be the host - a calm mediator

Diana aka Wonder Woman is a demigoddess who is powerful enough to go toe-to-toe against Ares. See it @ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rql0Y8yqvc63Yas.html

The first 2 seasons were shot in 16mm so they will look ok but potentially a bit grainy. The rest was in 35mm so there really isn't any reason for them to not look crisp, they would have just looked worse at the time of airing due to the tech used to air it, nothing to do with the filming.

@@Abstract852 I have the whole séries in DVDs and the image has aged, even the seasons shot in 35 mm (and even if it's supposed to be "digitally remastered"). The support doesn't make it all, there are lots of steps in the process, each one having a cost. And it was only supposed to be played on old TV sets back then, not on cinema screens. Today's TV screens brings out any imperfections. A real in deep remastering with current means would be welcome. I wonder if these new videos haven't been recently remastered in fact, as the picture looks better than on the DVDs initially released more than 15 years ago.

@@tagadabrothersband You have a good point there! I still have many episodes of both Xenia and Hercules and albeit taped in SP mode the epsiodes brightness and darkness does vary in scenes and isn't always consistant. And because this was before HD TV and digital tv and being taped on VHS and being nearly 20 years old which again shows age and even some grain and allot of drop outs when transfered aka ripped to DVD as I've done! Today these shows and episodes could be given a proper remaster and upscale if done correctly! I don't have the DVD's of the episodes to compare to my old VHS of the taped episodes I have.📼

Originally this was the episode where it's going out that he is but they wouldn't do because of incest so they left it like that

Yeah, Hercules for instance is both Zeus' son a nd a descendant further back as Alcemene, the mother of Hercules is a descenda my of Perseus

​@@Aaron-io8vw Hence why Iolaus (Hercules's maternal cousin and a descendant of Perseus too) was vastly beyond average in terms of battle IQ, tactician mind and combat prowess, even to mortal standards (albeit nowhere as bright as Xena, a _supposedly full-blo*ded_ mortal woman) .

The amazons fly jump into trees but no one's claiming that they are demigods.

Also explains why there are three other women with different mothers who all look identical to Xena.

​@@k10nn10th All natural-born Amazons descends from a _demigoddess_ daughter of _Ares_ ...

Yes Lucy Lawless is hilarious! She actually started in comedy. Was part of the New Zealand comedy troop that was like our Saturday night live. And her facial expressions are priceless!

I know , she is amazing 😂🤣 My first role model, I got really lucky !

technically wonder woman would be her aunt Since Wonder Woman and Aries are siblings

Wonder woman was not related to aries

@@gillianwilson1330 who's wonder woman father and who's Aries father?

@@akeemmartin3056 zulus but it not the same father it's like Airel the mermaid not being related to Hercules

@@akeemmartin3056 and wonder woman is a Amazon princess I watch her show so you are so wrong

Me and you both honey

Who didn't

same how can you not!

Me too!

Because they look so similar?

This show is everything. Love how it never takes itself too seriously. It is so fun to watch.

Ares was definitely not her father but I genuinely think he loved her even if that love wasnt healthy

Uh ok according to you.

Carl Standifer lmao it wouldn’t surprise me if they had gone that route considering Greek mythology.

That was normal back then XD
