Italian Xena has me crazy, I accept the translation of the gods names, because the culture, but change Gabrielle to Olimpia, well, was too much for me.
I am not Italian but as Latin, to be more loyal to the series, Gabriella. But to the character? Olympia, because she is greek, but I wrote a fanfic in Portuguese where she discover herself as Jewish.
Does Gabrielle/Gabriella directly translate toOlympia in Greek or something?
Interesting with your jewish gabby fic, in that alt-universe I'm sure that Gabby wouldn't be tricked by the one true god Dahak in the Deliverer episode.
No! Gabrielle in greek transliteration it’s Gabriella! Oh, Dahak was horrible, but as Jewish, maybe she could differentiate the true her God to a fake one, what do you think?
if she is a demigod it wouldn't be like hercules or the other demigods we saw. like it seems her's would give her movement powers. like the wind or what not so she can launch herself and her weapons easily and accurately. nothing else, just that power.
I like to think the gods just favors the warrior princess so much, they bless her with whirlwinds every movement. And let her jump as high as a kite to defeat her enemy 😁
I appreciate them trying. I love the mental image of a hoard of empowered kids doing this cry and charging at something. Candy maybe. It would be terrifying

Oh that's right. I've heard of that. Do the italian xenites prefer Gabrielle or Olympia til this day?

How about Gabrielle got tricked by a false prophet mistaking him as a believer to Jewish G-d, but turns out it's Dahak :-)
labryslatina@reddit
Humm… That’s brilliant.
DamonAlbarnFruit@reddit
I don’t know why they had to dub the war cried or screams. It’s dumb lol.
Meushell@reddit
It’s kind of charming. It’s like a growling kitten.
dtwjhalcyonvida@reddit
me too!!! i heard several versions of cat angry purr and growling, and semi monkey lions
Meushell@reddit
Yeah, I got purring out of that too. 😄
Latte-Catte@reddit (OP)
You're the only one 😂
All I'm hearing is the planet of the apes, Xena edition lmao
multiplecats@reddit
LMAO. Why???
And for me the captions bot gives up a third of the way in and literally fills the entire screen with H's

That how I felt about those war cries! 🤣
napalmnacey@reddit
That is some wild shit! I swear they sound like a rabid chicken! 😂
AvocadoPizzaCat@reddit
i still think xena is either a demigod or has the blessing of some god, most likely one whom doesn't care to announce it.
Latte-Catte@reddit (OP)
I'm with you on this one. However I do prefer her to retain some of her mortality. Since she does die and has died many times.

Not Hercules, but close enough.

Sounds like Callisto wuthering a bad throat!

She sounds like a raptor dinosaur 🤣🤣🤣
FirebirdWriter@reddit
Does this mean french girls ran around doing this instead of the war cry?
Latte-Catte@reddit (OP)
I think everyone did this warcry instead of the proper Xena warcry ululation lol. At least the French VA tried.

EnzeruAnimeFan@reddit
They should've left the original, but I'm amused and I'm glad y'all are too
Sheepie_Dex@reddit
Oh gods why? 🤣🤣🤣
theseedbeader@reddit
The Spanish version sounds like an unholy scream.
jdpm1991@reddit
Sounds like Minya doing a bad Xena impression
Latte-Catte@reddit (OP)
Accurate 😂
TangledUpPuppeteer@reddit
They gave Xena’a war cries a French accent? What an odd choice?
Agent8699@reddit
Sacre bleu! What is with the weird rolling “rrrrr”! Is Xena a wild rabbit or something?
I don’t even understand why they dubbed her war cries?
Latte-Catte@reddit (OP)
They shouldn't have but I'm so glad they did, it's so fucking funny 🤣 🤣
