Possible Xena movie plot

Here's what I would write if it were up to me. I would include legacy folks in it.
So here goes.
It's 20 or 25 years later. Gabrielle, after xenas death, went to egypt and somehow got Xena ressurected.
So Lucy has said that she hates doing all the physical stuff. So let's say Xena is still fighting but she has to wear a helmet to protect her head now..could b because it was cut off in fin or something like that
So like the Mandelorian we hear Lucy's voice during a battle but a stunt woman does all the physical stuff.
Ok so while Xena and Gabrielle are in egypt, Eve decided to go back to the Amazon's and is now queen...she utilizes her rite of caste. She's also had a child. Could be boy ur girl. Doesn't matter.
Now in his or her 20s, the kid starts acting out in a bad way...essentially the wrong path. Eve sends for Xena or gab and they take the kid under their wing to teach him that he or she can do good and not fall into a dark way of life.
There's some adventures and the kid sees the errors and becomes a fighter that is a protector like Xena.
And voi la. You have original cast involved but you also a passing of the torch to Xena's grandkid.

Love the idea

For this to happen, Lucy and Renee would have to be in shape to pull it off.
I don’t think Eve would be in the Amazon, she no place there as I just see her either. Continued spreading the love of Eli, rest of her life or she settle down and had kids of her own.

Do you think they would still film it in N.Z? It's pretty pricey.

No, this time they’d switch it up and shoot in Greece

Eve wouldn’t go back to the amazons. She’d be a big way of Eli promoter

All I know is no matter what’s going on with Xena and Gabrielle, Hercules is a big Nero supporter.
Maybe Xena and Gabrielle can get Iolaus and the rest of the old gang together to straighten him out.

I only want an animated Xena and the original cast to voice their respective characters. I'm also not interested in yet another kid gone bad because we got that with Eve and the way they handled it was pathetic. I liked Livia, she could've been a cool Xena 2.0 but they ruined her character.

Honestly, with how badly all the legacy reboots have gone these days, I just want them to chill. No new Xena. Not until the use of CGI and especially AI goes back down to a realistic level.
Nah, I'd like LL to keep chilling down under and doing however many seasons of My Life is Murder she wants to do (I hope at least a few more :)) No more Xena. Not right now.

Or they could go the animation route.

If they have to have to have to reboot/restart the IP that's the way that I'd want them to go.
But, my guess is what they would do instead is cast young people who vaguely look like Lucy and Renee and all the others and then the producers/writers/execs would not actually understand what the original Xena was about and mangle the franchise forever.
In my previous message I had a paragraph that went into more of my opinions on why a reboot would be horrible, but, I tend to get told that I'm being horrible when I do that, so I cut it out... :)
Honestly, I am really happy to just keep watching bat flips by Alexa (and there was a guy who was like 'you'd make a good action figure'..... mwhahaha.... and then watch the brilliant show that is XWP and that we already have access to.

Maybe they don't have much of Xena at all in the reboot. Just legends of her from Gabrielle's scrolls. And a fan of hers decides to take up the mantle like Batgirl. And then things get chaotic fast and the real Xena has to sort things out. And the fan is like you're back! And Xena's like...no. those days are over for me. But you...you've got promise.

With today's CGI I don't think it would be much of a problem to have a stunt woman do the fighting and paste Lucy's face on it. I mean, she already had a stunt double back then.
