Why? I mean, he looks like one, but why?

He is nothing but a Trump Christofascist troll on Twitter. Nobody will touch him (other than Left Behind/God's Not Dead series). The only value he has is getting entertainingly owned by Lucy Lawless.

How have I never seen Xena destroying Hercules. Can you post a link to this greatness?

As far as I’m concerned, being called “boy Xena” is an enormous compliment, and Sorbo is far from worthy.

Man Kevin Sorbo is such a fucking douche. That was great, thanks for the entertainment!

Regarding just Andromeda, I'm going to clip some text from wikipedia.

Controversy erupted in the midst of the second season, when series developer and executive producer Robert Hewitt Wolfe announced he had been released from the show's production [...] The reason for the change was purportedly to make the show more episodic and open to casual viewing.

And

In discussion on his website's forums and various interviews, Wolfe has elaborated that he was released from the production staff after he refused to shift the show's focus more heavily onto Kevin Sorbo's character, Dylan Hunt, by essentially making all of the show's episodes as Hunt-centric.

After that Sorbo become an executive producer on the show. The longer running plots set up by Wolfe were dropped and replaced by episodic low brow Hercules In Space stories. Looking at the quoted text above, it's clear that's exactly what the network wanted. Louder, dumber, and cheaper content to fill afternoon rerun time slots. Sorbo isn't exactly an innocent actor caught up in show with a management dispute, since he was the one who ended up getting Wolfe's job.

To be fair to Kevin Sorbo, he did tank Kevin Sorbo's career. So he's not all bad.

Thank you, that explains a lot.

Because he is a complete loony extreme right-wing intolerant christian fanatic POS.
I used to like Andromeda, but now I can't stand the sight of him as Dylan Hunt.

I dunno. Those may not be completely airbrushed in, but there's certainly some contouring going on.

[–] hakunawazo 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah you're right. Even in his prime he doesn't had muscles on his muscles like a real demi-god.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Much like that "last man standing" guy

Dylan Hunt... Sounds like cockney rhyming slang... And it's so appropriate.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Read his tweets: he's a bigot, Bible-thumping, anti-trans & anti-gay, Christofacist, Trump dick-rider, MAGA retard.

Which has been are we talking about? I got distracted looking at pics of the actresses.

Sorry, not sure why Kbin didn't correctly attribute the proper thread. I was referring to Sorbo.
