We follow the story of the heroic warrior Xena, who tries to make amends for her dark past, and the story of the hero Hercules, son of the powerful god Zeus. Both of them, together with their friends, wander through ancient Greece, trying to fight the forces of evil and protect the weak against both the will of the gods and all sorts of monsters and tyrants. Xena is accompanied by her loyal friend and fellow warrior Gabrielle and Hercules by his best friend Iolaus. Their paths cross from time to time and sometimes they even join forces to fight their common enemies. We probably all remember Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. If a remake were to ever come out, I would keep everything that was best about those shows. I would definitely avoid any over-the-top modernization except for the trick scenes, the sets, and the overall cinematic scale.
