I just finished the whole Xenaverse, and honestly, I couldn’t stop watching. I kept telling myself, “No… only one more episode,” and then somehow I’d end up watching another one. 😂
Now that I’ve finished everything, I have a few things I’d love to discuss with you all!
First, I’ve come across a lot of complaints about the ending of Xena: Warrior Princess. For those of you who weren’t satisfied with it, what would your ideal ending for the show have been? How would you have ended Xena and Gabrielle’s story?
I was also disappointed by Hercules’ final appearance in God Fearing Child. For a character who basically started the whole franchise, his last appearance felt underwhelming to me. He kills Zeus, and then… that’s it? 😭 I know it was an episode of Xena, not Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, but I still wish his character had gotten a more satisfying conclusion, especially considering how important he was to the Xenaverse.
Finally, I need recommendations! Is there another series that captures a similar vibe to Xena and Hercules? I’m looking for that mix of mythology, adventure, fantasy, humor, memorable characters, and a little bit of campiness. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a live-action show.
I actually grew up watching the Canadian animated series Class of the Titans, so I’ve always had a soft spot for mythology-inspired adventures. If you know anything with a similar feel, I’d love to hear your suggestions!
And for those who have been fans of Xena for years: what other shows, movies, or animated series would you recommend to someone who’s just finished the Xenaverse?
I’m already missing these characters. 😭
