The Germans launched a genocidal war that massacred tens of millions (27M in the Soviet Union alone), committed the Holocaust ffs, and will then have the unmitigated psychotic gall to make out their depraved cunt Nazi loving society were actually the real victims
Also that wasn't good at all. In fact, Russian atrocities during WWII (mainly against German civilians) were the most barbaric in modern history. Russians must not be allowed any moral high ground with regards to WWII memory.
fun fact, during the Korean and Vietnam Wars, American soldiers would call Korean and Vietnam civilians that they ran over with tanks "zipperheads" since that's how they looked after they ran them over
Well this is a hastily cobbled together shit-take of conjecture and misdirection.
The author starts by misreading a grassroots marketing launch as a statement of exclusive intent. Come on. Announcing a series TO a fandom alongside its community leaders is standard PR; it's not proof that the show was designed exclusively FOR fandom. In fact, it was made clear from the start that, first and foremost, the series would function as an accessible entry point for new viewers...while still respecting canon. And, by the way, “Respecting canon” does not mean “requiring new viewers to be familiar with 350+ hours of existing Stargate programming” as this article implies.
The author proceeds to support their point by launching into fan fiction: "No plot details were revealed about the scrapped show, but I can easily imagine…” And they certainly do. What follows is a parade of clichés, a generic legacy-sequel checklist that the author has conjured up from nothing and pinned to the new show as predictive evidence.
Then comes the claim that Starfleet: Academy failed because the showrunners: "focused too much on paying tribute to the series' past.” Uh, wut? Yes, Starfleet: Academy did receive a fair amount of criticism, but strict adherence to canon wasn't on the list of grievances. This reads like a comment from someone who likely never even watched the show, much less perused the fan response.
They state: "Rebooting the cannon also would let the new Stargate showrunner bring back the Goa'uld, the franchise's most iconic villains…” No, it wouldn’t. Know why? Because the goa’uld... ARE CANON!!!!
The article concludes with a disconnected meditation on an old Stargate storyline with no relation to either the new show or the author’s own argument.
I want to say it was written by A.I., but surely A.I. would display more logical consistency than this.
@kylethomaswest Exactly right. They would’ve been better off not wasting the time of the original creatives at all, they’ve hurt both them and themselves
“Now that we’ve thoroughly alienated the pre-existing fanbase by ratfucking the original creatives whose project we greenlit, let’s see how they like some random who has no history with the franchise” #stargate
Drop Site News was scheduled to host a panel discussion at SXSW London on June 3. We have informed the organizers we will not be moving forward with the event following SXSW’s refusal to condemn the British Home Office’s state censorship of our colleagues Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur, who were also scheduled to speak at SXSW. The banning of our colleagues is part of an intensifying campaign by the UK government to stifle criticism of Israel and criminalize pro-Palestine activism at a time when the genocide in Gaza is continuing.
This is a great nitpick and reminds me of the take industry of people moaning about TLJs opening crawl becuase they have a super literally interpretation of “the First Order reigns” which is contradicted by the very next sentence of the crawl nevermind the movie itself
In the opening crawl of Empire we are informed that Luke is now the *leader* of the Rebels on Hoth. A few movie minutes later nobody has even noticed Luke didn't check in, then only his buddy is willing to go looking for him, then this boss closes the shield doors behind them.
Feel like that Ben solo film would have been a much better return to theaters for this series than just doing the same thing you've been doing on TV for 7 years but throwing it in the cinema
