History YMMV / XenaWarriorPrincess

** Ares falling out of the sky after Gabrielle accidentally depowered him. Sadly, Kevin Smith died in kind of the same way.

* RetroactiveRecognition: This show provided a stepping stone for many now-familiar faces in the science-fiction circuits, such as pre-''Series/{{Roswell}}'' Shiri Appleby, pre-''Series/{{Firefly}}'' Creator/GinaTorres, pre-''Series/{{Farscape}}'' Creator/ClaudiaBlack, pre-''Series/{{iZombie}}'' Rose [=McIver=], and pre-''Film/{{Hellboy}}'' Selma Blair. There was also an early appearance from Kathryn Morris of ''Series/ColdCase'' fame, and Manu Bennett almost a decade before his roles in ''Series/{{Spartacus}}'' and ''Series/{{Arrow}}''. (Other ''Spartacus'' actors who earlier appeared on ''Xena'' include Craig Parker, Kevin J. Wilson, Antonio Te Maioha, Stephen Lovatt, Craig Walsh-Wrightson, Jeffrey Thomas, and Peter Feeney.) And of course, Creator/KarlUrban, who played no less than ''four'' different characters across the first five seasons.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: Some of the CGI and blue-screen effects used in the earlier episodes (such as in "The Titans", "Prometheus" and "Mortal Beloved") have ''not'' aged well. Somewhat [[JustifiedTrope justifed]], as the budget wasn't exactly high.
* StrawmanHasAPoint: The gods in the "Twilight of the Gods" arc. They are trying to take 1 life in order to save ''their families'' and the beings they love at the very least (putting aside their responsibility to humanity and their godhood). Considering that we already established that if Eve had died as a baby, she would have gone straight to Heaven or the Eleysian Fields, to eventually be reincarnated - something that the Gods know and are very familiar with - from the Gods' perspective you can see exactly why killing her seemed reasonable.

* MyRealDaddy:Although John Schulian created the character in Hercules for the episode The Warrior Princess his Xena was more of a FemmeFatale and then a DistaffCounterpart to Hercules. It was the head writer for Xena, RJ Stewart who refined the character as we know her.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Either Joxer is a funny comic relief or an obnoxious [[TheScrappy scrappy]] who shouldn't be in the same shadow as Xena and Gabrielle.

* SeasonalRot: Season 5 is generally regarded by Xena fans as when the show went downhill, season 6 fares even worse.

** The season 6 ClipShow "You Are There".

* BrokenBase: Either Joxer is a funny comic relief or an obnoxious scrappy who shouldn't be in the same shadow as Xena and Gabrielle.
** News that the reboot would be doing away with the ambiguity of Xena and Gabrielle's relationship has received mixed reactions.
** The reboot also has suffered controversy for having Javier Grillo-Marxuach as the show runner, after he was partly responsible for a ''very'' high profile case of BuryYourGays on ''Series/{{The 100}}'' that opened the floodgates to the trope becoming a hot button issue across the TV landscape.

** In "Chariots of War," Cycnus (Jeffrey Thomas) tells Xena they met at the Battle of Corinth. It wasn't that much later when Thomas was cast on ''[[HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys Hercules]]'' as Jason, the king of Corinth.

** There's also Lao Ma, who attempted to teach a younger, angrier, Xena the value of peace, and of dancing with girls.

** News that the reboot would make the nature of Xena and Gabrielle's relationship more blatant has received mixed reactions.

* NeverLiveItDown: Gabrielle's insufferable flirting with complete pacifism. More specifically, her starting it by throwing Ephiny's staff into a river, which comes off as quite callous considering what a big moment her getting it was. Actually that's not correct. The staff Ephiny gave her was sliced in two at the battle of Troy, in the first season episode "Beware Greeks Bearing Gifts."

* HarsherInHindsight: In "Remember Nothing," Xena is finally driven to take back her wish upon seeing Gabrielle kill someone. Congratulations, you've saved your partner's innocence...for a whole one year.

* HarsherInHindsight:
** Ares giving up his immortality to save Eve. RIP Kevin Smith.

* BestKnownForTheFanService: ''The Bitter Suite'' is best remembered for Xena getting a ShamefulStrip from Ares and to a lesser extent Gabrielle running around naked.

** The season 6 episode "You Are There" also counts. (See ClipShow below.)

* HoYay: Xena and Gabrielle.

** It should be noted that the game's developer, TitusSoftware, [[VideoGame/{{Superman 64}} is no stranger to this trope]].

** It should be noted that the game's developer, Titus Software, was also responsible for VideoGame/{{Superman64}}.

** It should be noted that the game's developer, Titus, was also responsible for VideoGame/{{Superman64}}. Given that knowledge, how surprising is it really that this game turned out the way it did?
