Which Xena design looks more muscular? Animated or Live-Action?

Lucy said she tried to buff up early on for XWP but gave that up. I agree with those who say she seemed imposing anyway. Plus, I don't discount the yoga she's apparently practiced off and on for years, regardless of whatever weight training she did. She managed to carry people in her arms (even a guy) like they were feathers. I'm glad she didn't look like Atalanta on Herc. Made you focus more on how she carried herself, her ferocious movements and expressions, overall projection of strength of both body and character.

Did Lucy actually carry people? I'm sure lighter body doubles and clever camera angles were used for some scenes, but for others we didn't see Lucy's face.

The two I recall where you can see her face and she walks a few steps are GABRIELLE'S HOPE (Gabrielle) and SIN TRADE (dead Amazon).

I think the fact that she wasn't super buff and still 'lifted' people added to the fantasy genre aspect of the show and made it better.

What a beautiful shot of Lucy ❤️

Live action in season 2!
Lawless was training incredibly hard for her image of “Xena” the warrior (and had also been told to lose weight by Tapert), prior to her accident.

The live action works better, but not because of Lucy's physique. Instead it's her acting. It took me to realize that Renee is technically more jacked by the end of the series than Lucy, and yet. That's not how it feels when watching the episodes. There's just something in Lucy as Xena where I totally believe she could bench press a thug and have strength to spare.
Reminds me of Christopher Reeve. The tag line of Superman was You'll believe a Man can fly. And, he did that and then some in the movie. Just like Lucy did in XWP.

The animated I think. The jaw line is like glass but Lucy 😍
