Some people live like someone is looking over their shoulder at all times and they will eventually have to justify what they engage in to this fantasy person.
They aren't functioning human beings.

I want to hear from you, why is Stargate special?
How'd you find it?
What special memories does it hold?
Let's show @AmazonMGMStudio why Stargate is so special to us fans.
@L0V3S1CK_chan Oh my bad, I just don't like it when men get drawn as female which is a very "Trans" thing to do. If they are? Hey, More power to them, I guess.
So it’s setting up exactly what was set up in the first place by the fact that he went the Norse realm after Olympus was destroyed?
We just treading ground that was already tread, planting a flag down and saying it’s new?
“Oh but you see, THIS time, it can just happen anywhere!”
That sounds infinitely worse. That makes the gods action figures. We don’t get to see all these unique cultural figures in their element or homes, see what they mean to the region and how such cultures are represented. Or even how their symbolism is important to the culture they came from. They now just show up to fight or drop dialogue.
Great, amazing, so they’re not mythological figures anymore they’re just marvel characters.
The fact that this is being spouted as a selling point is telling me standards have dropped too low.
I don’t want to fight Wukong in Egypt, I want learn and interact with ancient China and what Wukong means to THEM and then fight him if he’s in the wrong.
What are we doing here? Why are we glorifying shallow execution over sincere understanding and showcasing?
Stargate was great because it reconciled multiple things:
* Military Sci-Fi with credible soldiers,
* solving problems with knowledge and science,
* fun banter,
* great villains that had motivation and depth,
* philosophical problems and gray areas,
* and some cool explosions.
That combination is hard to pull off. I think if you try to mess with just one of those threads, the whole thing unravels and becomes a mess.
I started watching SG-1 at age 15. I was the first in the family to start, but one by one they all joined me. Then one day, even my Dad joined. NOTHING on television held my Dad's interest. He never went to the movies. It was the first time I'd ever connected with him in this way. Not long after he started, he came home one day with the first season DVD box set, and the whole family started watching from the beginning. He kept buying the sets, until we caught up with the currently airing show, and then we watched like clockwork as a family every Friday night, with pizza and soda.
You have to understand, that is a CRAZY thing to type out about my Dad. He never did stuff like that. He was tough to connect with about something that wasn't mechanical or construction. I can't think of a single other fun thing he did with us that wasn't what a kid would consider "chores" or "work." My siblings and I treasured those Friday nights like nothing else. It was an entirely new experience, having something like that where he would quote the lines to you in the middle of the day (Teal'c lines were his favorite, especially the infamous "undomesticated equines" line).
My Dad has been buried for almost 8 years now. My oldest two kids barely remember him and the other two never met him. We recently watched both SG-1 and Atlantis as a family. It's been an emotional ride, sharing this with them yet wishing Grandpa was around to share it with them too. My kids ADORE Stargate. My girls have crushes on Daniel Jackson and John Sheppard. My youngest son wants to BE Jack O'neill. They cried when Daniel ascended the first time. They were over the MOON at the idea of a new series in the works to enjoy. I haven't had the heart to tell them the news that the whole thing has been called off.
Save Stargate!
Me: I don't like male characters getting turned into females
Butthurt weebs: Y-You're gay for not finding this hot!!! *Post a male character that is now female*
Why not use actual female characters for this? They exist you know.
