Fireballs by Gary
Get ready to laugh!
Well,what do the omnipotent gods and goddesses have as their first line of
defense.......Fireballs!
They all seem to miss their targets by a mile...you would think they would
be good at aiming.
For example,at the famous beach where the gods attack Xena,Eve,and Gabby,we
see each god take a turn to toss a fireball at Xena. She can kill gods
then,but is not immortal herself. She deflects the weapons with ease,and the
truly stupid part is,Poseidon is there in the water. Heck! He is MADE of
water. A god tosses a fireball at Xena,and she deflects it,hitting
Poseidon,who dies at once. Note: The fire does not go out upon hitting
him---the WATER.
In Sacrifice 2,we see Callisto hit Ares with a fireball...he is a god,and is
not killed by a goddess hitting him with this. He is sort of in a screen of
fire,immobilizing him. He is there for about 2.5 minutes of air time,well
after Gabby and Hope fall and splash in the lava pit. He had no time to
"save " Gabby and bargain for Hope's life by Gabby giving up her own soul to
Ares as payment.
He does not die,of course,and he recovers so he can escape.
In the farmhouse where in Motherhood,Xena deflects Hades' fireball,Hades
catches on fire and dies. How come he cannot dematerialize and avoid the
fire?
Finally,in the truly awful Married With Fishsticks,we see Aphrodite and
Discord tossing many fireballs at each other,each able to deflect them with
ease. Why are they not hurt at all?
RenPics has misused this weapon so badly that it is absurd to even use it.If
all the gods threw them at once,Xena could not have stopped them all. But
NO...they wait "their turn at bat" and fail.
Fireballs:They should have learned to throw rocks instead.
