Is Xena: Warrior Princess worth watching? Are there other fantasy shows worth watching?

I only found it worth watching when it was first on because I was a sheltered middle schooler and desperate for any chance to look at half naked women.

>Is Xena: Warrior Princess worth watching?

lol is dis nigga serious

If you like intentionally campy stuff, you'll probably love it. If you expect it to take itself seriously, you won't make it very far.

>If you expect it to take itself seriously

actually it's alright, it has some dark episodes, its way more serious than Hercules Legendary Journeys.

No. Precisely for that; because it took itself too serious. Later episodes mix judeochristian stuff while dealing with greek myths, they get crucified for no reason and Xena dies in Japan at the end.

Kevin Sorbo was right.

Shut up Kevin.

I think I only saw the first 2-3 seasons. When did it take a turn? It was still pretty Raimi-esque goofiness when I stopped watching.

Xena is an amazing show if you can handle camp, tongue-in-cheek humor and fight sequences ripped straight from 70s Hong Kong action flicks.

The biggest draw is Lucy Lawless as Xena. She's incredible

>Kevin Sorbo was right.

fag

Season 5 is when it jumps the shark, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman took over as showrunners that season and shat all over the series mythology and character arcs. Lucy Lawless' pregnancy didn't help matter

R.J. Stewart returned as showrunner in season 6 and it got better, but never fully recovered

>Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman
Oh, for fuck's sake. . .

Hercules had Abrahamic mythology too, remember Iolaus being possessed by Satan?

wew

What did Sorbo said about it?

>Is Xena: Warrior Princess worth watching?

Only if you're a straight guy or if you're trying to cure yourself of the Gays. This show turned me super straight when I was a kid and it is what started my obsession with the white ladies. Spic, btw. Pic very related. My two favorite characters and gods. I love NZ also because of this show.

is there anything they can't ruin?

Discord is a Hercules character, iirc she was only in one episode of Xena

Or if you are a girl it turns you into a full lesbian in no time

it was a different time

not necessarily

This actress was fine as hell back then, Meighan Desmond. To bad she never took off. She was Time wasn't too kind to her unfortunately. She's 39 now but it looks like she suffered from a drug problem or just aged really bad. Probably that stereotypical Kiwi heritage.

weird, I didn't like it as a kid but now as an adult it's one of my favorite TV shows

watch Hercules

then watch the sequel Hercules in Space also called Andromeda

Did anyone here who enjoyed Xena/Hercules watch Beastmaster? It started a few years later and I thought it was pretty good

stupidest real life death ever

She appeared in 4 episodes of Xena. She was also the origin of my pale white brunette fetish. Loved her.

I heard of the show but back then there was no such thing as internets so I never knew how to find this show at all.

Bet the guy was drunk.

Hm, you're right. Two of those episode are in season 5 which I almost never rewatch so I guess that's why I don't really remember her being in the show much.

>Bet the guy was drunk
I'd bet a thousand dinars it was more than alcohol

Why? What do you know? Do you know gossip about the actors?

>wet lucy lawless fighting with fish

I have to watch this

How many episodes with Bruce Campbell?

More like I've known actors, and have been to a few wrap up parties (which is where he was just before his death)

I'm guessing he did quite a few lines of coke beforehand

He's in 8 episodes of Xena and 10 episode of Hercules

you need to watch pic related if you like Bruce Campbell

Very similar to Hercules and Xena except set in the Old West

I wouldn't be surprised if what you said was true but no autopsy was ever reported of him being under the influence. Do you think they covered it up? If so, who is this guy so that they would cover up such a thing for him. Do you think he fucked any of the actresses on the show?

I think they covered it up, yes.

> If so, who is this guy so that they would cover up such a thing for him.
I think it's the very fact that he wasn't a big-name actor that they were able to bury it without anyone getting nosy. I imagine this happens rather often with plenty of cases, not just actors, the person is dead so be respectful and don't besmirch his reputation on top of all that. It's understandable

>Do you think he fucked any of the actresses on the show?
I wouldn't be surprised, if not his costars at least a few of the guest actresses

bump for answer

This is the story of a time long ago

>Is Xena: Warrior Princess worth watching?
yes

>Are there other fantasy shows worth watching?
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Angel
Kolchak: The Night Stalker
Legend of the Seeker

only one man dared to challenge their power

>there are people on Sup Forums RIGHT NOW who didn't cry during the two-part series finale

You're lying if you didn't. It was GOAT episodes.

Who /younghercules/ here?

I have nostalgia glasses on here but I used to run home from school for that magic 40 mins or so where I could watch Xena and awkwardly learn to jerk off before anyone got home from work. TV used to be amazing back in the day. It was a really good show.

If you want fun over-the-top trash I would recommend Spartacus: War of the Damned over this. It's technically not fantasy but it plays like a fantasy show and is much higher quality.

Move onto a new genre. I say scifi, so many comfy great scifi shows to choose from. I would start with SG:1

>yfw you realize xena and ruby from ash vs evil dead are the same actress

damn i'm blind

...

her outfit was the best thing about the finale

terrible, terrible show

Gosling is pathetic as Hercules, even as a teenager

Can't wait till NBC brings this show back and has Xena in full armor with hour long episodes that are more dramatic.

Also Spartacus is produced by the same people iirc

Carnivale is fantasy? I thought it was about poor carnies who cursed and fucked.

it won't happen, no news in a year, the project is dead

The part I like most about the first season of herc is that he's a really nice guy. He truly does want to help everyone out and put you on the right path of life. There are so many early episodes where he'll punch a guy across the room then help him up and then convince the guy to change his life.

Herc isn't good for any other reason than he wants to help people. The longer the show went on the farther away they got from this. Sure there were moments here and there but it was never the same.

Iolaus was always the better character so it never bothered me much, as far as I was concerned Hercules was just a plot device to drive the story, he wasn't too interesting

Xena is GOAT

Yes. It is good, gotta like the animal angle. 2nd season felt the best to me, though i loved the reappearance of Marc Singer in season 3.
Another to check out from about that time is Conan. Only 1 season, but a good ensemble cheesy fantasy show.

Carnivale is pretty much a poor man's Twin Peaks. It has supernatural elements to it but isn't a fantasy.

It's about a hick farmboy with healing powers who gets picked up by a traveling carnival populated by genuine psychics and learns that he's the reincarnation of Jesus destined to defeat a priest who is actually the reincarnation of Satan and has his own magic powers.

only good for fapping

I watched the entire xena series maybe 3 years and just picked up beastmaster, xena is way better imo but beastmaster is pretty decent if you're high

lot of sexy women on Beastmaster, I remember popping a huge boner for the island demon girl, who I later discovered plays Scorpius' mom in Farscape

But like a lot of the shows trying to ride the wave of Hercules and Xena's popularity, it lacked the humor and kinetic style that made those two shows so great. It was dry and took itself too seriously

>Dat Kiwi Body

The things Greek Gods get away with.

Screw you! The teenage titties on that show were to die for!

I'm dissapointed by the lack of Callisto in this thread.

It's best not. Rumor has it that they were going to turn all the women on the show into dykes to be "more diverse." Its best that this never happens.

I'm friends with Hudson Leik on FailBook. Turns out bitch is as crazy as Callisto herself. Only instead of violent crazy she is Hindu/Yogi crazy. She left the country for the UK because Trump won. I love her, but she is a whiny bitch.

she's my crazyfu

>tfw no Xena porn parody with Mia Malkova as Callisto

What's your favorite Callisto?

>Base human
>Immortal Human
>Goddess of Fire
>Christian Callisto

My favorite is Christian Callisto.

social media has made many people mentally ill, I'll remember Hudson as she should be remembered:

youtube.com/watch?v=1EUm2LI3cnE

...

I find her original insane warlord persona to be the most sexually attractive, but certainly Angelic Callisto is the most marriageable

anyway, why didn't you include the demon variant?

Because she was only in this form for a few minutes then went all angelic. What doesn't make sense though is that this version of "hell" is Christian themed. As a Greek herself, she should have gone to Tartarus where the fallen gods go like the Titans. In Xena, Hades said that the dead go to the afterlife corresponding to the tribe or nation they belong to. Lack of consistency I guess.

>TFW too young, too poor, and too codependant as a child to ever go to these cons and meet them.

Now all I'm left with is their empty shell of their former selves. This Hudson Leick in your video seems like the time of girl that would WANT YOU to grab her by the pussy.

>Lack of consistency I guess.
new showrunners that didn't know what the fuck they were doing

>Now all I'm left with is their empty shell of their former selves.
I also really wish I could have gone to fan conventions when they were actually worth going to. So much I've missed from being born a little too late, modern shows and their fandoms don't really interest me

>This Hudson Leick in your video seems like the time of girl that would WANT YOU to grab her by the pussy.
I would rather tongue her butthole tbqh

a better time

...

Dahak isn't Satan. Hercules did introduce the Archangel Michael, though.

Dahak is obviously the xenaverse equivalent of Satan/Lucifer/Beelzebub/whatever

Just like Eli was obviously supposed to be a Jesus/Mosesigure

>Xena can't fly!
>I told you, I'm not Xena. I'm Lucy Lawless.

*Jesus/Moses figure*

>Dahak is obviously the xenaverse equivalent of Satan/Lucifer/Beelzebub/whatever

No, Dahak is closer to some Lovecraftian thing. They directly had Lucifer on Xena, and his predecessor Mephistopheles.

>that time iolaus was one of the 3 wise men and met baby jesus only to die

Xena and Hercules are both great shows, very comfy, fun to watch.

I wish they were released on BluRay, but apparently that's not happening anytime soon for some reason.

forgot about that, but the Lucifer/Mephisto thing was after the show jumped the shark so I try not to think about that garbage

Dahak is clearly paralleled with Satan with Hope being the antichrist, but if you want to see Lovecraft in there I guess you can.

Lets just get this out of the way.

They were shot and mastered in 4:3 standard def. No point in a Blu-ray release, but they could probably fit a whole season on a single disc.

I believe the first two seasons of Hercules and first season of Xena were filmed in 16mm, which is neither easy or rewarding to transfer to HD

Also they're both cult shows with devoted followings, but not particularly large ones

were the mid 90's into 00 one of the comfiest times for TV shows as a kid?

being a young kid in the late 90's/early 00's I remember watching

Xena
Hercules
Andromeda
Earth Final Conflict
Stargate SG1
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World
Jack of All Trades
Cleopatra 2525

boy oh boy. out of all of those ive only ever revisited Xena and Hercules recently. I know Stargate is good, but im willing to bet the rest will be iffy.

And that's not counting all the Star Trek shows.

Next Generation would get marathon reruns in the summer, with cast members hosting it, who would then explain behind the scenes stuff, like how they used glitter water for the teleportation effect

Voyager and Deep Space 9 were also around too. though as a kid I didnt really like Deep Space 9. Guess I was too young for it. It was definitely not the average star trek.

man. that was a comfy time.

also Cartoon Network at its peak

I miss the 90's.

>Go Go Power Rangers
>Goooooo Zeoooo!

Sleep tight, pupper.

I would have killed myself if it wasn't for all those comfy shows I could watch in the 90s that distracted me away from my suicidal thoughts.

I miss it too

You too? I used to look back to the 90s with nostalgia, but then at some point I realized that I was only nostalgic for the media from that time that kept me not thinking about how shitty my home and school life was.

>Later episodes mix judeochristian stuff while dealing with greek myths
They had the Ark of the Covenant and Abraham sacrificing his son in the first season.

me in the middle

One more Discord/Meighan Desmond for the night.

Can't be, Joxer ended up with a Xena lookalike.
