Xena Vs. Aliens

 

Yesterday's cover featured The Phantom vs. Predator, and I felt like this would make for a suitable follow up.  I watched Xena take down a lot of big monsters on her show, but she may have met her match here. Let's hope she can find away to emerge triumphant.

Wonder Woman and Xena in: "Kang's For The Memories!"

 

I still think it's crazy that we have never seen a Wonder Woman animated series yet.  She certainly has an interesting enough supporting cast and rogues gallery to pull it off.  I'd love to see a show that explores her history from her origins through the various decades to the present day.

Wonder Woman and Xena previously shared a live action adventure in STF #2527...

Xena and Shanna The She-Devil

 

The Savage Land is an untapped locale so far for the MCU.  I hope they get there eventually, though.  In addition to residents Shanna and Ka-Zar, some really cool Marvel Comics storylines have taken place there.  I'd love to see it and it's inhabitants brought to the big screen.

Xena and Valkyrie

 

Fraiser joins the ever growing list of series that are coming back for new seasons after a run that concluded several years ago.  Some of these have been welcome and some should probably have not returned  Xena is one show that I would love to see revisited, at least as a streaming movie.  Lucy Lawless is still in good shape and it would be cool to see what has become of  The Warrior Princess as well as Gabrielle and Joxur.  It would be nice to see at least one episode with today's special effect capabilities, too.

Xena and Hercules

There are so many places that Hercules could show up in the MCU and add to the fun and action.  His rivalry with Thor was always enjoyable, I'd love to see the two of them together.  He'd be great with She-Hulk as well, once her show gets off the ground.  He would fit in with The Eternals or Guardians of the Galaxy as well.  Heck, stick him with Howard The Duck and let them loose on the big screen!

Xena Vs. Sauron

I'm not sure what to make of Amazon's upcoming Lord of the Rings series.  It is supposed to take place in the Second Age, the Age of Numenor - which is well before any of the main players in the original trilogy, or even The Hobbit, were on the scene.  I don't know whether JRR Tolkein had a blueprint for this era or if the new writers will be weaving their own tales from scratch.  Hopefully, we'll see some new information soon which will shed more light on the show.

Wonder Woman and Xena

These two really do need to share and adventure together someday.  Xena: Warrior Princess  was certainly inspired in some ways by Wonder Woman's comic and TV show.  Then, when WW finally became represented on the big screen, some cues were taken from Xena's series.  How cool would it be to see them fighting side by side?

Princess Leia and Xena: Warrior Princess

I wonder if Carrie Fisher knew how popular her "Slave Leia" outfit from Return of the Jedi would become.  It has be come a staple of Comicon cosplay, and I have seen more versions of it than just about any other character.  Xena isn't too far behind though, with Harley Quinn looking to take them both over as most popular cosplay subject.

Xena and Buffy

By the time I had heard all the good reviews for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the series was well into its run, so I never bothered to start watching, figuring I had missed too much to appreciate it.  I finally got the chance to watch the full run of the show on Netflix, and I am glad that I waited for the chance to see it from the beginning.  the strength of the show for me was how the characters were allowed to change and grow in different directions, and even when it ended, I still wanted to know what would happen next.

Xena and Trinity

Here are two of may favorite butt-kicking heroines.  I am hoping that Gal Gadot will take inspiration from both of the when considering her performance as Wonder Woman.  Xena's self titled TV series is what convinced me that a Wonder Woman film could work, and I will never forget Trinity's introduction in The Matrix.  I had never seen fight choreography depicted like that on film.

Amethyst and Xena

It's cool to see that DC is giving Amethyst another shot these days, between her appearances in the comics and as part of the DCU animated Shorts. She is just the type of character that has been sitting around for years with unfulfilled potential.  Hopefully she can strike a chord with audiences and continue to build her fan base.

Whenever I read an article about how hard it is to come up with a movie or TV show based on Wonder Woman, I have to scratch my head.  Didn't these people ever watch Xena: Warrior Princess?  With a few adjustments, that showed that a live action WW could easily work!

The Secret Sisterhood

This is a group that would be interesting to read about.  Don't be fooled by their beauty, each of these characters are fierce warriors.  They have all learned to respect and adapt to the natural environment around them so I thought they would work well together.  Despite their similarities, they each have distinct personalities that would be interesting to see play off of one another.

If you haven't seen Princess Mononoke by legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki, I highly recommend it.  Actually, I recommend all of his films, his work is amazing - but Princess Mononoke is the closest to a comic book type epic and is really a must-see for any comics fan.

Batman and Xena, Warrior Princess

I remember getting a kick out of watching Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, and my favorite episodes were always the ones in which Lucy Lawless would guest star as Xena.  I was of course very glad then when Xena got her own spin-off series.  Sure the show could be corny and campy at times, but the beautiful New Zealand setting as well as the strength of its main actress kept me watching throughout the entire series run.  One thing the show proved to me is that there is no reason a live action Wonder Woman could not be successful again.  There have been a few projects featuring the Amazon princess that have had trouble getting off the ground in the past few years... perhaps they could have been well served by looking to Xena for inspiration.
