Xena: Warrior Princess/YMMV: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* [[Alas, Poor Scrappy]]: The death of {{spoiler|Joxer.}}

* [[Complete Monster]]: Atyminius, who enjoys cutting brides-to-be into tiny pieces.

* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]

* [[Franchise Original Sin]]: The show probably would have been better off in the long run if they hadn't had Xena and Gabrielle run into a family of monotheists in an episode clearly inspired by the Abraham and Isaac story. It was an isolated episode and could have been ignored. So was the later "Giant Killer" episode where Xena helps David kill Goliath. But then comes the opener of the fifth season, where Xena and Gabrielle find themselves meeting angels in a war between Heaven and Hell (as opposed to just journeying through the previously established Greek mythology afterlife featuring the Elysian Fields and Tartarus). And then comes the whole "Twilight of the Gods" arc in which Xena is basically manipulated by "the one God" to kill every Greek God who appears on-screen, except for Ares and Aphrodite. The fact that the Gods, previously shown to be very competent and powerful, end up carrying the [[Idiot Ball]] and literally can't kill a [[Badass Normal]] like Xena if their lives depended on it, didn't help. And neither did the whole "Xena and Gabrielle awake 25 years later" thing. In this case, the original sin would be the Abraham and Isaac episode, done back in the series' otherwise better days.

* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]

** The many deaths of Joxer who died in season 5.

** Ares falling out of the sky after Gabrielle accidentally depowered him. Sadly, Kevin Smith died in kind of the same way.

* [[More Popular Spinoff]]: Of ''[[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys]]''.

* [[Narm]]: Livia/Eve's bad acting causes this. When she's angry she sounds less like Rome's champion and more like a Valley girl.

* [[Retroactive Recognition]]:

** Julius Caesar became [[Star Trek (film)|the new Dr. McCoy]]!
