     |thoughts = So there was a "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" intro and everything. I wonder if this was a later addition, or whether even in this TV movie period they already had the overarching title?
 
Incredibly chauvinist at the beginning, though that is clearly to help make the point of what the titular Amazon Women were fighting against.
 
Zeus is... weird. King of the gods, incredibly powerful, but he just pops in and out to talk to Hercules and not do much of anything, like a Navi in Ocarina of Time. Looking forward I see he is in the rest of these movies, but not continuing on to the series. I wonder how they write that in? I mean, Zeus is still around, right?
 
So [[Lucy Lawless]] was in this as a non-Xena character. I wondered if she just impressed them so much they decided they needed to find a bigger use for her, but it seems that's not the case. They just... didn't care that they were reusing an actor.
 
So when Hercules's buddy Iolaus died I knew there had to be some kind of reversal since I know he continues to be a major character, but I was definitely not expecting essentially a time travel solution where Hercules wipes 80% of the movie's events from existence, and decides to just solve things by giving a short pep talk to the guy who came asking for help.
 
CG was... very much low budget 1990s TV CG. Serves its purpose, extremely obvious.
 
So Hercules fought a hydra. Chop one head off, two grow back. OK, still seems like this is a winning strategy? You make a hydra with one body and 20 heads, it's going to be so damn imbalanced. Good luck making any movements without wrapping one of your necks around another, dumbass!}}
