Oh yeah, and Quentin Tarantino so bit off of Xena for his The Bride/Beatrix Kiddo character in Kill Bill
Your just joking about he Tarantino thing right. There really isn't that much of a similarity.
what about Hercules?
Big heroes are always resurrected. Hal Jordan was, as was Kirk and Thor. Captain America will be resurrected in a few years or months too.That would be kind of impossible to due since Xena died in the finale.
That's what Tarantino does. He finds stuff he likes, and adds his twist to them. Pretty much all of Hollywood does that. Xena is pretty much a clone of Wonder Woman, who is the copy of other strong female characters in literature before her, just given superpowers.- Both know pressure points
- Both use a similar style in combat
- Both escaped death (Beatrix being shot in the head, Xena being crucified with her legs broken by Julius Caesar)
- Similar characters (Ellen Driver/Callisto, for example)
- Similar personalities
And Tarantino said himself that he was a fan of Xena, and it [as well as other female oriented action mediums] influenced his work. He even got the second stunt woman from X:WP for Uma Thurman.
**** Hercules.
