Hercules and Xena every Saturday night. Good ole days.
Yes it was
🤣🤣🤣
8 pm and 9 pm
The Xena arc on Hercules was what made me love Xena and happy she got her own show!
One of the best scenes in the Hercules/Xean story! This was one of the most important turning points in Xena's life.
This battle really does show how impressive of a warrior Xena really is. Despite losing the battle against Hercules, who is arguably the strongest of the Greek demigods, Xena still held her own. This battle also plays a role in Xena's turn from evil to good, as well as changing the relationship between Xena and Hercules forever.
Hercules also had the help of his friend. A lot of people don't take that into account. Cena could have won. She had him. That's just my opinion.
@@paulnonya4417 People also don't take into account that Xena was fighting to kill. Herc was not. He always holds back against women. It was always a flaw with him. He did the same thing against the Enforcer, whom I must emphasize gave Herc a far worse beating than Xena did and he still came out on top. You really think that cousin of his was a deciding factor in this fight? He didn't provide any resistance at all and was swept away. Not to mention Herc caught Xena's sword strike with his bare hands afterwards, so he definitely had plenty of fight left in him.
Most importantly, Xena openly acknowledged that he was "the greatest warrior." The writers made that clear. Even later on in Xena's own series, we see Herc parrying her sword with a mere stick.
@@paulnonya4417 And Xena had plot armor so what's your point?
@@CitrusBlurIf you watch closely, you'll see that Herc is temporarily dazed when Xena knocks him down onto the rock. Herc's cousin gave him the brief moment he needed to recover and catch Xena's blade, so it seems his cousin actually did help.
Yes, Herc holds back. But would he hold back to the point of almost being killed (which may have happened had his cousin not intervened)? I don't think so. Herc may be the greatest warrior, but Xena still did a good job of holding her own and challenging him. Xena's abilities are well above the average mortal.
You're right that the enforcer gave Herc a worse beating. But his head never hit a rock during that fight.
@@aryaarya2724 I would never deny that Xena's abilities are well above the average mortal, but the implication being made here was that she would've won had Herc's cousin not intervened. Xena admits inferiority when she declares him as the best, so she knows that she can't beat him. Also, it should be noted that Herc had endured a huge boulder in the back of his head from his newfound scout "Spiros" just prior to this fight.
Heck, even her encounters with Darfus showcase who's truly on top. In this same episode, we see her have a sword duel against him and she visibly struggles to overpower him. He even manages to knock her to the ground, though she manages to stab him before he can strike. In the very next episode, she remarks to Herc.."I wanna let you know how I feel about you in case I die fighting Darfus.." so she's clearly expressing concern over the idea of going up against him again.
Fast forward to the final showdown, Herc rushes to save Salmoneus and just as Darfus attempts to attack him, Herc literally knocks the guy out with a single blow. When he finally wakes up, Darfus and Xena have yet another clash, though it's more prolonged. She even resorts to throwing dirt in his face to disorient him. This is the stark contrast here. Herc effortlessly cast Darfus aside whereas Xena struggled in each of their encounters. It's a good highlight of the difference between Herc holding back and when he gets serious.
What Herc said: "Let her go, she has a fight of her own to deal with."
What Herc meant: "Let her go, even unarmed she'd still destroy you."
Yeah. Imma be like: "dude, she just kicked you in the face and totally sent you flying. You sure you wanna go after her?"
😅.
That's not what he meant lol
I like how the sword stayed long enough in the air for Hercules to catch 🤣
And to think she doesn’t even have her signature moves yet 😂
Throwing the chakram was her signature move.
i like how at 2:06 she does the exact same pose and laugh at the episode 1 of xena when she saves Gabriel for the first time from dracos army
That's the list for battle it's a good fight and she's enjoying it. Ares tells her when she meets him first.
@charlotteb6898 she had a different evil laugh in Adventures In The Sin Trade II.
Xena looks good in gold armour.
I REALLY need to buy both the Hercules and Xena DVD's.
Ebay or Walmart
I gotta make cosplay of all the Xena outfits in the Hercules arc! ⚔️
I loved Hercules , this was back when everything on tv was gold … despite not yet reaching the “golden age” of television.
She was a little overconfident in the fight. She can slow him down a bit, but, eventually, he still would have won. Enhanced reflexes and enhanced stamina are also among his Godlike abilities. He's also more durable.
They were flirting not fighting and xena is clever she could take down Hercules if she chose to the woman fought an entire army and was only knocked down once.
Also enhanced durability and he and healing
Oh please she slayed all the Olympian gods.
@@s_shaleh after a power up from Angels not at this point
@@s_shaleh I thought it was Kratos )))
this battle is absolutely epic. I like the fact that she was close to win this one, and hercules underestimated her. When she is ready to slay him, you se hercules expression changing instantly , meaning that the demigod got afraid for his life, and if you know hercules you realize that didn’t happen often in the series.
Haha, well it's like any normal man versus woman. No man will expect a woman to give him any competition, much less be interested in raising a finger against her, until she surprises him with supreme ability.
@@broadstreet21 You are not wrong, but that doesn’t make the battle less epic.
@@broadstreet21 Its more that hercules doesn't want to kill her, so he is holding back a bit. Which is the case against most oponents during the show. He will start off trying to end the fight without killing his oponent. Its only when he fights Sovereign and Ares etc that he really doesn't hold back, which is why when he hits them they go flying into buildings. I think you'll find he holds back a lot of his strength against Xena.
@@Sothpawman You have a point here. Now that im thinking of it, there were not many cases that hercules went full on his opponent. Most cases were monster etc.
Hercules doesn't show fear his concern is he doesn't want a fight with anything but if you keep pushing like Xena does there's no option but defence and then that can mean attack to protect yourself and others. He gets worried about what she'd do with others if he can't stop her.
Ay Caramba Hercules
Hercules : “i can do this all day long…”
Steve Rogers: "I can do this all day."
10//10
This was an epic battle!
Hercules holds back in every fight including this one. He still wants to correct a person and not kill him. If he fought at full strength, it would be in one blow. Xena >= Callisto. . Hercules easily defeated the goddess Callisto.
You keep saying this but we literally have episodes of Xena taking on fully powered, not holding back Gods, and not being one shotted. She even defeated Michael who was shown to be on par with Greek Gods.
Listen I like Herc too. He’s great. But we have no proof given Xena’s durability feats that he would one shot her.
I know she wants her Army back by taking out Hercules but I know she's having a hard time with it the only thing she knows how to is when she lashes out
Yes! That's why Hercules said she has a fight of her own to deal with. Meaning her own conscious
Hercules convinced Xena to turn her life around. Gabrielle became her voice of reason & her best friend. Ares kept trying to persuade Xena to return to her old ways & had an on/off thing with each other but somehow helped each other when they needed it (he gave up his immortality to save Eve & Gabrielle). It sucked that in order for Xena to have her redemption,she had to stay dead.
Had a few chuffs over xena back in the day good memories
I really prefer her outfit here. It makes no sense that it changed into episode 1 of Xena. I wish Xena's arc was a bit longer. Her transformation was pretty fast.
Agreed! This gold outfit is superior 👍🏽👏🏽
I agree, I wish Xena had started off with dark Xena and showed more of her then adn her transformation and what she got upto after Unchained heart until she met Gabrielle.
I actually prefer the one in her own series - not a big fan of the look here myself.
In Hercules she change her mind but her heart just changed after met Gabrielle. I like her outfit here but the other one have some meaningful simbolism.
No its hideous lol
I know this is Xena's early times but I never imagined her as a villain
1:39
We got you now, Xena
Didn’t anyone notice though that it looked like Hercules was about to buy the farm until Hercules cousin interrupted, I wish they would’ve let the fight play out and have Hercules defeat her without any interruptions.
Cf bsartu🥰🥰😍🥰😍
Great scene 👍🤩😍❤💖💗
Xena is the reason I knew chakrams exist. Hers was OP though!
They say it's an ancient Indian weapon and is a part of a collection they'd have on palaces and housed for defence.
made Hercules use a sword. That says it all
Before Batman v Superman we had this. Who who do you root for? 😭🔥
Love this Show
I'd like to see prequel tv series about evil young xena just like they did with young Sheldon young rock Also lucy could do voice over?
WHEN WOMAN WANT TO SUBMIT TO HER MEN ,I LOVE IT💪
Anyone remember that one battle they had on Twitter?
Funny how she said she never murdered "women" when she in fact did in the past.
Not directly at least.
@@xxlCortez She slaughtered some Amazons pretty directly - shown in flashback in Season 4. My feeling was they added more to her backstory as it went along. Made it hard to root for her sometimes when you saw some of the savage acts she committed in her past and also made her a bit of a hypocrite at times when she questioned Callisto and Najara.
@@tjtenser7828 I think she was referring to defenseless women. Amazons are capable fighters, not untrained peasants. Callisto had no moral compass, she actually enjoyed killing defenseless people because she just blamed it on Xena.
You're right on Najara though. Sure, she was kind of an extremist but she usually killed people caught in the middle of the act and in Crusader Xena was stepping on her hand when Najara was about to fall in chasm.
@@tjtenser7828 Amazon's don't count as "women" in that context because they are worriors. What she meant by woman and children is innocent , civilians woman and children. She had no issues fighting woman warriors
@@xxlCortez There is a big difference between Xena and Najara. The problem with Najara is that she deemed herself Judge and executioner of "bad people". If they didn't repent right now under her watch she would just kill them. While Xena would arrest them and bring them to justice to have a hearing and trialed. She would only kill when she had no choice or self defense. Think of that too. If Xena would have been judge under Najara's terms back in her evil days she would have definitely been dead. But she did change. Because she was given the chance to. Look who she had the chance to become. All because someone gave her a Chance (Hercules lol) Najara is self righteous while Xena truly has compassion and has hope in People. 2 very different persons.
Es demasiado epico papus!!! 😲
Don’t forget she is part godess. Ares was her father. If that wasn’t true she never would have been able to fight Hercules at all.
She’s not Ares’ daughter. They just used that story to thwart the Furies. Xena is mortal. Her being able to challenge Herc is based on her insane skill and peak human physical stats.
Remake please haha
Interesting to see them go head-to-head, even if it's cringe for any man to fight a woman. But it's clear Hercules' one advantage on Xena is brute strength - a man's normal advantage on a woman. Otherwise, Xena was quicker, more nimble, and better at handling weapons - advantages some women can possess with training.
He barely even touched her in this fight so cut the bullshit about it being cringe for a man to hit a woman.
I think Atalanta would disagree with your "brute strength" comment. 🙂
What an insightful analysis
@@mannygomez5213 Herc is definitely reluctant to fight women. But in this case, Herc has no choice but to fight Xena in order to defend himself. He clearly underestimates her. Also, Herc does hit Xena a couple times if you watch closely, though he's probably not using his full strength.
Don't forget Xena is also really strong too, considerably more than a regular mortal. Both Herc and Xena are pretty strong, though Herc probably has the edge in terms of strength.
This Is Cool,Wonder Why Iolous Didn't Appear
He wasn’t with Hercules at this point, he didn’t always travel with him like Gab and Xena, but he joined them later in the episode
2:07
When they met again on her own show she was a much better fighter. Still wasnt stronger than hercules but still a better fighter than she is here.
Absolutely
0:40 1:02 1:17 1:31 1:55
Onlar mi😊
all i can think about is, imagine if this was written in a todays yv show or movie, some people would go total crazy, how dare a man beat a woman, even if he IS a demi god, it should not be allowed, you are sexist hahahahah, gotto love todays people, bring me back the people from the 80s, noone was so sensitive back then
Why the 80s? This was from 1995.
There are plenty of movies and shows now where men hit women in the heat of combat. Literally any superhero movie.
Yet she never went back to get her charksm
😂
And is this the only time the 2 fought?
No, they also fought in Xena's first appearance in Season 1. That fight had the same result - Hercules defeated her, but spared her life. That's why he tells her in this scene that "we've been down this road before."
@@jculver1674 No, they had never actually fought before this. Hercules had fought Xena’s men, but not Xena; this was her second ever appearance.
@@LordHyena Exactly, just first fight him with her.
@@jculver1674They never fought before. Or after in a way that resulted in her defeat. What on earth are you talking about? Lol
They definitely copied dart and rose from the legend of dragoon from these two
💣💣
Glad she lost the accent😆
I'm really glad they changed her personality in her spin-off to less whiney and more cool and collected.
Ain't it amazing that if that guy didn't interfere Xena fighting Hercules, Xena could have defeated him.
No she couldn’t. Keep dreaming mate. Hes demigod and he was toying with her entire fight. She cannot do him any damage, he could end her in 2 min
@@philippburnett6045 Xena has Ares strength she's part god to that's why they were both special. She easily could have taken him a few times.
@@charlotteb6898 sigh... Xena is not Ares daughter. She is 100% human. If your refering that episode on Xena with the furies It was a trick from Xena to make the furies believe Ares was her father. It was a ruse, nothing else.
@@charlotteb6898 she might. But Herc still has an edge over her
@@volb9817 whether Xena is mortal or not, the writers endowed her with supermortal fighting abilities. Even in episodes as early as season 1, she is described as having the strength of 10 men (Altared States). And in The Greater Good, she is described as having "the strength of Ares and the speed of Hermes."
Omg Lucy's accent was so AWFUL back then, i can't recognise the 'american' accent in any if these early episodes, there was ahuge room for improvement
I like how herc settles a decent role model who respects every human good or bad 3:07
God xena so fucking beautiful but I prefer xena with ares
Xena wins in the end by telling Hercules that he basically won't have much of a career after the show.
Kevin Sorbo had a much better career after Hercules than Lucy Lawless did after Xena.
I had forgotten how bad Xena was. That squawk she did while fighting was so cringe. And the really bad camera work to make Lucy look like she was actually competent.
I mean…it just sounds like you have a personal axe to grind here lol.
@@Xenabuffyfan Or the show just sucked.
Getting real tired of these UA-cam ads especially tick tock it's about time things start making sense a man dominating a woman as it should be
This is one of the strangest and most unhinged comments.
@@Xenabuffyfan the only thing strange and unhinged around here is only you
