Current Events > Reboot Hercules and Xena

(+) Yeah! (+)

It would look really cool with modern special effects

And less family friendly

No, leave it alone.

Supposedly, they're making a Xena movie and canonizing that she's a lesbian. No word on Hercules though.

It just won't be the same without Kevin Sorbo and Lucy Lawless.

You always pull the biggest bullshit out of your rear end.

Would never watch it in a million years. I grew up with that **** and I ain't replacing those good memories and episodes with all this contemporary nonsense.

Look what happened to Dragon Ball.

They were working on that a while back.

Those shows were the perfect 90s cheese. Crowned by Bruce Campbell's master thief character.

Honestly, I'm all for Hercules and Xena coming back and them being gay being canon.

Besides, Xena always belonged to Kevin Smith's (the unfat Kevin Smith) Ares anyway.

I wonder if Sorbo would even touch that, given his strong evangelical views. I remember he was interviewed on the radio awhile back and blamed Hollywood being controlled by the Jews people for his lack of success lately.

Xena could happen now after the success of Wonder Woman.

And 90's nostalgia being pretty popular right now.

Always thought Xena was openly bi, like Gabrielle.

They did kiss at least once that I remember

I mean, I don't really know much beyond that. I guess in the context, now that I think of it, he could have meant that there was some sort of atheist bias in Hollywood.

Either way, though, it's pretty dumb for him to claim that when he isn't that great of an actor, he hasn't really had any big successes besides Hercules, and there are plenty of outspoken Christian actors who are successful in Hollywood.

No, she didn't.

Yeah what a shame. Especially if he actually did actually blame Jews.

Anyways,

I think they only kissed once near the end of the show.

IIRC they weren't able to really proclaim them lesbians or be overt about it because of tv regulations at the time or something.

I also remember reading they were worried people would think they were exploiting the gay community if they went too hard with it.

Yeah I just looked into it, they quite heavily implied it, but the one kiss was... Well just watch.

Technically, she should be bisexual, as she explicitly had serious relationships with men throughout the show.

I found the quote;

I sort of understand how they never want to deal with the New Testament in Hollywood, because its pretty much, you know, run by the world of the, um, Jewish population,

He also had a few others where he said some really ... uh ... controversial things like (when commenting on the Passion of the Christ and the Jewish backlash), "Newsflash! The Jews did kill Jesus!".

It really bugs me that the son of Zeus went on to become a hardcore christian.

also, it was the romans that killed Jesus. later when the religion became popular in the empire, this was embarrassing so they retconned the story

Yeah, I wonder how he reconciles literally playing a 'false god' with his faith. He sure doesn't seem to be to Christian to keep making cameos as Hercules all over the place.

That would be nice, but I'd rather a new highlander.
