The BBC dub of Urusei Yatsura is often notorious among fans for being terrible (the clip below often sighted as reason)
However not all is as it seems, it turns out were missing a lot of context and history
Here is the history behind "Lum the Invader Girl"

@Tsudura_Tsukumo The toys and cartoon were super huge in the 80s. I wasn't really a fan, and by the time the Dolph Lundgren movie came out the fad was over
@Molokomoko That would've been amazing to be around Osaka at the time, the energy must've been amazing (I think i was in the country, but would've been in Gunma 😂)

When the Hanshin Tigers (finally) won the championship after 38 years (see: Curse of the Colonel) Lum also graced the cover of this magazine as Takahashi-sensei is a big fan

Sadly, it's true. Amazon has elected not to move forward with the new Stargate series.
There's not much I can add beyond confirming what's happened. But I will say this...
Creator Martin Gero developed a new Stargate series over two years, ultimately crafting a show that offered a fresh jumping-on point for new viewers while deeply respecting existing canon. It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family. And based on that creative vision, the new Stargate series was greenlit in November of 2025.
As of today, officially, that original vision is no more. We'll never get the opportunity to introduce you to that world and those characters - or reintroduce you to, and check in with, some familiar faces from the past.
My heart breaks. For the incredibly talented writers who worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. For Martin who maintained an unwavering positive outlook throughout despite the challenges, and who always strove to make a show that would honor the fans while welcoming a new audiences. And for the long-suffering Stargate fandom who waited so long and came so close to getting a show they truly would have loved.
Europeans, particularly Brits, love calling Americans “yanks.” Thing is, that doesn’t land unless you’re from New England. I’m from Virginia and live in Alabama. I’m far from a “yank.”
