I wish we could have more of Livia than Eve

I live the character of Eve and her mission to be pacifist and spread the message of Eli but as Xena’s daughter I wish we had more of fight scenes as Eve and not Livia. Imagine if we had Xena, Gabrielle and Eve fighting against the gods or any other villains?
Of course at one point she would become a pacifist like she did, it’s why she was conceived the way she was, specially after being Callisto soul.

Livia was a great character with so much potential. Then they ruined her with Eve. They could have kept her as Livia and still redeemed her similar to how they did with Xena. Ugh, I can hear Eve's cringy whiny voice in my head as I write this.

I really liked Livia, she was badass. Once she becomes Eve again, it's no longer fun to watch her. I'd rather have Eve fighting by her mother's side than to have this meek religious zealot.

And her warrior scream is so powerful! It reminds me of Callisto. They should explore her warrior side.. i guess they were trying to make her different from Xena

Adrienne looked like a mix of Xena and Callisto, she was great. But just like Callisto sucked once she became an angel, so did Eve once she joined Eli's cult.

I disagree I loved her as the pacificst religious warrior who could throw down if need be

The podcast of Adrienne's explanation posted a few days ago really helped my appreciation of her performance and what she was trying to convey as newly "born again" Eve. She conceived Eve as in withdrawal from an addiction to violence, refusing to be tempted, but not sure whom or what to trust as an alternative. She indeed saw Eve as frail, confused, rootless, until embracing Eli's Way of Love. I don't expect there was much time or interest in giving that much attention to her development. I wish it could've been conveyed in a brief chat with Xena, which at least it might've helped give more depth to and empathy for Eve.

I don’t think Eve is weak, she wasn’t written well.

I just found the whole Christianity plot arc to be tiresome and offensive (to Paganism).

I wish we gotten both Eve and Livia, but I wish Eve gotten a better development. As I don’t think there was a properly, plot development for Eve in entire of six and last season.
Yes! I would definitely want Eve to be a fighter like her mom Xena. Then perhaps Xena could pass the torch to Eve, as Eve is the new Warrior Princess and carried her mother legacy.
Instead what we got for season 6, as it was a disappointment season out of the 6.
