Nah, they are being more patriotic than you've been your entire life, by protesting a nationalistic display of blind pride and obedience.
They are pushing for the country to strive to be better. They are actually patriotic.
Notice how only White players for the Spurs put their hand over their heart during the National Anthem.
Wemby crosses his arms.
Most of them are probably singing the Black “anthem” under their breath.
Black America has a patriotism problem.
@j_eckerle@AmazonMGMStudio@amazon The frustrating part is that they "wanted to tailor to a new audience" is so bad - you honor the original to lock in that audience and if it's done well it will gravitate others.
Cutting off the original fans is a surefire way to not have an audience at all.
Goa'uld posed as Eqyptian Gods
The Asgard posed as Norse Gods
If we're really going down this path, I would more so say the time is perfect to revive the series, because most *want* to believe that there is good in the established military.
It sounds like they were trying to, but you can't make Stargate today. The heroes are the US military, and the villains are an ethnically diverse group of aliens in human bodies who posed as the various gods of human cultures in antiquity. The one group of aliens that also posed as gods but were benevolent rather than intrinsically evil - and the Goa'uld are intrinsically evil, as is made explicit - posed as the Norse ones.
That's why Stargate has remained untouched while every other franchise is defiled. Too much of the basic premise is fundamentally incompatible with modern Hollywood. There are too many uncomfortable implications.
Seems to me that higher ups got a whiff of what kind of show they were trying to make, and that show being Stargate, put the kibosh on it.
The "fresh new direction" they want to go with instead will have to be utterly unrecognisable. Stargate Universe is the direction Im sure they'd like to go in, but they already made that before the era of "modern Hollywood", and it was universally panned.
There's no getting around the good guys being the military and the bad guys being evil on a genetic level, so the whole premise is anathema. Stargate future-proofed itself, and with 15 proper seasons and 3 films, there really is no need to revisit it. I can continue, as I have for the past 30 years, just regularly rewatch what we already have. Because it's awesome.
@eskiflo1@Strwbbshortcake@numbop1@downbadcomment ... then he needs to learn how to do better so she will want it again.
But she is a hippocrit for being mad that everything stopped when she stopped a major differentiator between spouse and roommate.
@eskiflo1@Strwbbshortcake@numbop1@downbadcomment This, and it's not a matter of controlling the other person, it's that one person now wants a sexless marriage, and the other doesn't. That IS a relationship changer.
Regardless, they need to communicate, and if the issue is how he is initiating that she always feels pressure...
@beetbandit1982@downbadcomment It's just the change in what the arrangement is that is problematic. If neither wants, that's fine.
If she is feeling not into it when she's being initiated, they both need to find other ways to initiate without expectations.
They need to actually communicate.
@Strwbbshortcake@numbop1@downbadcomment There is no right answer - The reality is, she changed the effective contract in the relationship. They married presumably while also being intimate, something that does mean more than just sex to a man, and now that is off the table.
It IS selfish to do so and expect no changes
My favorite baseball team is the smallest market in baseball and stands to benefit substantially from a salary cap. It's frustrating to watch my favorite players get ripped away by big money teams, but I'll never side with the owners over the players (i.e. workers).
