    I can’t believe that, as a preteen, I thought she was “too manly”
    Because a) no she wasn’t, she was a straight knockout and b) that’s sexist AF wtf preteen me.

      Eh, our tastes change with age. I remember as a teen thinking chest hair on men was icky, but in my 20s I began to love it.

      It sounds like you successfully matured, and now you may reap the benefits of Xena’s sexy nature.

    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.

      You could make it more woke by replacing Kevin Sorbo with an actual human being, but that only affects the crossovers.

      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?

        I’ll give it a few episodes maybe.

      I’m the same way with Thor. I’m not gay at all, but id let it happen. He’s a sexy man regardless of interests.

    I mean… Xena, Calypso, and Gabrielle confirmed I’m straight. But at least Joxer taught me the kind of guy to find as a best friend?

    Oh, and always keep any women I care about away from Autolycus.
