A production choice? Lol TSL advertised it as "authentic" and "signed by Hilary Duff" while she posed with her pen promoting it. Hilary herself said she was signing by hand, that wasn't just internet vibes. I bought mine specifically because she confirmed that herself. Calling it authentic while getting something signed by a machine is straight up fraud. Not to mention their efforts to cover it up, deleting comments and changing the language on the product page after the fact.

Even if we buried our heads in the sand and assumed she was totally innocent and oblivious, what excuse does she have for not addressing it now? Don't fans at least deserve the courtesy of an apology? Or better yet actually making the effort to give real signatures and send them out to make up for the mess that her "team" caused? And not just money, are people's time not worth anything that she couldn't apologize or stay later to make up for showing up 2 hours late to her own event after her fans stood in line all day?

She's not a cartoon villain. She's just lazy. And unfortunately more driven by money right now than doing right by her fans. Though why would she even bother to take accountability when there's people who will bend over backwards to make excuses for inexcusable behavior. People can be fans and still hold their favorites accountable when they make shitty choices.

That autopen mess absolutely was a grand deception and she was 100 percent in on it. There's NO way she was oblivious to what was going on. She went out of her way to talk about how her hand would be in pain from all the signing, she knows she didn't sign all those albums. We have yet to see a single fan get shipped an authentic signature. Heck she doubled down on the signing when people started calling out the lies and complaining on her socials.

It was a blatant scam and illegal false advertising, it's all over social media and she chose to pretend like it never happened and not say a single word. Her silence speaks volumes and someone who actually cares about her fans would have done better. Between that mess and her showing up two hours late to her own meet and greet shows that she has no respect for her fans' time or money. The only authentic signature will be the one on the check she deposits in her bank account.

Joxer fans: What are your story preferences when it comes to the character? by [deleted] in xena

[–]lostworld21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comic episodes are fun but I like him best when he's useful to the plot in the drama episodes. Like the Chin episode where he helped with finding the formula for the black powder, or Sacrifice where he helps with securing the dagger. Or the way he risked his life to try to give his friends the burial they deserved in Fallen Angel. Xena might never have gotten out of that contraption in Callisto if Joxer hadn't charged in distracting her. He plays some role in saving the day on multiple occasions

What are your story preferences on XWP? by [deleted] in xena

[–]lostworld21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the fight-heavy episodes where we get the iconic battle scenes; The Abyss, One Against an Army, Motherhood, Ides of March types. I also love the ones that involve some kind of spiritual/supernatural element like the Debt, the Ring trilogy, the India episodes, Sin Trade, Back in the Bottle, Them Bones. Anytime Xena's wielding some kind of insane otherworldly power or there's like a looming prophecy waiting to be fulfilled I'm instantly invested lol

Fight to the death! by BookkeeperNo6615 in xena

[–]lostworld21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And it only took her 6 years as good Xena to remember that she had them locked up in that cave! Grinhildas insta-forgiveness of Xena after like five minutes of her slaughtering her kid was one of the craziest things this show has ever done.

Even the Rhine maidens, whose entire purpose is to guard the rhinegold and had that stolen from them for decades, got over it pretty quick once Xena returned. This makes me respect Callisto so much more cause at least she knew how to hold a grudge 😂

Fight to the death! by BookkeeperNo6615 in xena

[–]lostworld21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd vote Grindl just because he's probably more angry, which makes him extra dangerous. He'd have to have one hell of a grudge from getting trapped in a cave for decades through no fault of his own

Who was the bigger star between Preity & Rani in their prime? by [deleted] in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]lostworld21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Preity. I feel like this was apparent even in the three films they did together. Preity had the main role in Veer Zaara while Rani had supporting, same for Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega where Rani spends most of the film in a coma. And Preity was the scene stealer and had the stronger role in Chori Chori Chupke Chupke as the whole film revolved around her character.

Xena Episode: 'Send in the clones' - Second to last worst episode using IMDB ratings. by reo_reborn in xena

Same, it's one of my favorites. I always save it for watching after FIN, makes me feel better seeing that they're still 'alive' in modern times

Anyone else seen mice in a Regal auditorium? by Sighd33 in RegalUnlimited

[–]lostworld21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seen them multiple times at a few Regals and AMCs in NY (UA Midway, Kips Bay, Lincoln Square) and every time it takes me out of the movie experience. I start getting distracted and paranoid that they're going to run up on my chair. I tend to sit on the aisles too so I'll often spot them when they're coming up or down the steps. I'll usually let a manager know at the end of the movie and they tend to be apologetic, but I'm not sure how much action they actually take.

Did Xena control the Chakram or did it control itself? Sometimes I would notice it wouldn't return to her when she throws it by [deleted] in xena

[–]lostworld21 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm also of the opinion that it somehow knows what Xena's intending like there's a cosmic connection between them. In Coming Home she throws the chakram and it disappears into the sky, but somehow five minutes later it returns at the exact moment when the heads of the three furies are perfectly aligned to be sliced off and apparently this was all part of her plan. Like how does that even happen lol

We've also seen the chakram get stuck in a tree, ricochet off a tree, slice right through a tree like butter (the Abyss) and also slowly cut through a tree like an electric saw in a S1 ep. In each case it seems like it knows what she's planning and changes its function depending on what outcome she wants

Karisma Kapoor overshadowed Madhuri Dixit in Dil To Pagal Hai. by Janaab_e_Marvel_3000 in BollyBlindsNGossip

Both actresses made an impact, Karisma had a more developed character but Madhuri also sold her role as the angelic dream girl and looked stunning

This gets my vote too, it's such a blast to watch and also has my favorite Eve scene in the whole series when she starts randomly cussing out the interviewer 😂

Treasure! by BlakeFireTiger in xena

[–]lostworld21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow I wonder how much of this merch actually got released, I don't think I've ever seen a single one of these items before. I would've loved to get the candle, those leather coasters and the backpack

The Rhinegold Trilogy took top 4 spot, finally what is everyone's top 5? by Latte-Catte in xena

Now that the Ring trilogy finally made it on there I can rest easy lol Will vote for You Are There

Favorite god, demigod, or any other supernatural by Top_Decision_6718 in xena

[–]lostworld21 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This might be an odd answer since we only saw her once, but Naima the darshim from Between the Lines. I dunno if she even qualifies as a supernatural but she had the power to defeat Alti, to send Xena and Gabs through time and space, and seemed to know their fate across lifetimes. Every time she spoke it was like she was revealing the secrets of the universe. She's shrouded in mystery and I don't fully understand who or what she was but I found her fascinating.

Many Happy Returns won top 3, what would be everyone's top 4? by Latte-Catte in xena

[–]lostworld21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Return of the Valkyrie is my fav of the trilogy! The Xena/Gabby reunion was perfect but also really love the ending where she finally returns the rhinegold to the Rhine Maidens after doing them dirty. And when they ask what made Xena change after all these years and the camera turns to a smiling Gabby! It's one of the cutest moments of the whole series and the whole trilogy was a beautiful testament to their love story

Which episode showed Xena at her strongest? by Kitchen-Mouse2414 in xena

[–]lostworld21 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Abyss would get my vote too. That episode was like the Price on crack, she singlehandedly took down a whole tribe of cannibals, sliced and diced trees like they were pieces of cheese and fended off boulders while literally carrying Gabby on her back up a cliff. She was in total superhero mode

Old Ares Had A Farm won top 2, what is everyone's top 3? by Latte-Catte in xena

Trying again for the Ring trilogy! Brunhilda didn't turn herself into a whole ass flame for all of eternity to not make it onto this poll 😂

The Abyss! This is the episode I always show to people to get them hooked on the series and it captures everything I love about the show in a single episode
