Their Trying to Reboot Xena

If you were old enough, in the 90's, you will remember a show called Xena: Warrior Princess. The show was developed to be connected to Hercules. Xena was a woman that killed people and thanks to Hercules reformed and set about to change things and to show that she had reformed. Now I really loved that show. In-fact I would set in-front of the TV, when I was a teen, and watch the new episodes. One of the things that I noticed was that Xena and her companion were gal-pals and I was fine with that.

I came to watch Xena kick butt and to fight monsters. In the age of the reboot, I'm so groaning at this, it seems that shows that had died off back in the 80's and 90's are being brought back or talk of them being brought back. Some are being made into movies. I will not even get into the whole Jem and the Holograms. That was a suck movie if there ever was one. They're bring out a Ghostbusters movie, which I have no problem with, and lets not forget the Turtles, which was bad, and the sequel (I'm holding my breath for this).

Now word has come out that Xena is coming back. And I'm not talking about the 90's version that everyone loves but a 21st century version that has Xena and her friends as more than gal-pals. Dear gods, save us all from more reboot nonsense. Heck their not even going to reboot Hercules and that show was off the hook. Their going to turn it into a Homoerotic show that I feel belongs in the after hours time slot. It's going to be written by the writer of  the 100 and will not, as far as I know, have the director of the Evil Dead or the actor that played Hercules best friend.

Both did a great job with Xena but they will, as far as I know, not be involved. I don't believe that this will work and I don't believe that Lucy Lawless will want to be a part of this as she's doing Ash and the Evil Dead. And if the writer of The 100 thinks that you can have Xena without Lucy Lawless then he's fooling himself. There's only one Xena and fans will not settle for anyone wearing her gear. Another thing that most will probably be asking is how Homoerotic will this be?

We all know that Xena was really attached to Ares. The actor that played him has died. So your going to try and get another actor to play Ares, which I don't see any other actor besides the one that died to play him. Is she going to be riding on the same kind of horse? I know the horse that was used for the show has passed on. Rebooting this show is a really bad idea. I'm sorry. But if you want a LGBT characters please choose another show.

Fans of the cult classic like Xena the way that she is and I don't believe that it will last past the first season.
