Kevin sorbo was a joke even at the time when he was relevant.i swear his movement to the right was simply so he could eat, because nobody has cared that he still exists in 30+ years.
I only remember his name, because Sorbo is a brand of assorted knicknacks, like hairbands , cleaning supplies, kitchen utencils and whatnot. My mom used to work there. https://sorbo.com/en
No replace him with a hamburger, no lettuce, extra pickle, grilled onions but not quite grilled right so you can still kinda taste the raw, and a dorito bun
People who talk like that have only seen pictures from the show, or they watched it a little bit when they were a child and don’t remember 99%.
Because Xena and Gabrielle did pretty much everything except the physical deeds. And it was recently confirmed in a comic, where they kiss and say they love eachother.
Hell, you could probably show them the old show with the parts set in modern times and they’d blow their gasket. Becase the reincarnations are the opposite genders for a while.
Yo I should give this show another go. I remember watching it when I wasn’t even a teenager, thinking it was kind of silly. But maybe it’s good as an adult?
it’s very deliberately silly. and it’s fun as hell. i watched it as an adult a couple years ago and to me it surprisingly holds up. the characters are enjoyable in a campy way, the actors are charismatic, the ideas are interesting (certainly more so than Hercules), and the action scenes—while clearly suffering from a limited budget—are actually top notch in concept. they were taking all their notes from hong kong action movies and it shows. they even nod to it by eventually taking xena “back” to the show’s version of china.
It’s worth it if you can view it with the mindset that it’s intentionally silly/“camp”. For a very basic comparison: It’s in a similar style to shows like Buffy or Charmed, just more self-aware.
Although it has to be said: It was technically a spinoff from Hercules, and there are crossover episodes. But that show is not nearly as good, for a multitude of reasons. And it got to the point where Kevin Sorbo(Hercules) is still salty about how a lot of the crew went over to Xena. He has even accused Lucy Lawless on social media of “stealing” crew from his show. To which she just laughs and mocks him, like she regularly does when he says stupid things.
I remember seeing a comment somewhere wishing they would reboot Xena, but lamenting that they would probably make it “too woke” if they did
I don’t think there’s much they could do to make Xena more “woke” if they tried.
It’s like this one guy that asked “what’s a run of X-Men that has no woke messaging “. Like dude…
“Haha! Good one! …wait, you’re serious!?”
You could make it more woke by replacing Kevin Sorbo with an actual human being, but that only affects the crossovers.
DISAPPOIINTEEDD!!!
A masterclass in acting. A true thespian.
A lesser actor would’ve just read the stage directions. But he yelled them. Brilliant.

Also, I hope that someone sends him that quote so that he knows how much of a nothing person he is.
Who sends messages to nobody…?!

“recently confirmed in a comic” doesn’t really matter; because that’s exactly how things get retconned in.
I mean, you’re right, but not because of the comic.

I’ll give it a few episodes maybe.

Cool, I’ll give it a go then I think. My wife also grew up with it so it might be a good nostalgic way to connect over something “new”. 😄

I think I can do that 😊👍
can go f— himself.
It’s still silly. But enjoyable from time to time.
If you don’t think they could make it more woke you clearly lack in imagination
Put a chick in it and make her gay.
Ftfy.
That’s not the quote from the episode though…
You’re correct, mb. I’m smashing like two or three of them together.
