Who else is not going to watch the stargate reboot out of protest?

Who else is not going to watch the stargate reboot out of protest?

Idk what has ridden Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich to be so autistic about their creation that they fuck up more than a decade of established tv canon.

I really hope it flops hard. They should not be succesful with that.

I am not even going to watch it, maybe after Holla Forums created some nice memes about it, but I don't want to be enraged by all the stuff they ruin with that.
I mean you just know that they will lampshade stuff about the tv series they didn't like and make some hidden jokes about it.

I'm looking forward to their version of Stargate, especially after 17 seasons of Stargate TV shows. I want to see what they could've done if they had a chance to make their 3 Stargate movies.

I liked SG-1, the first season of Atlantis too but once they brought the Deadalus, the show jumped the shark, Earth became overpowered, the Wraiths became a joke, Tayla served no purpose, Ronon was a second bland Teal'c and McKay became a parody of himself (David Hewlett was over-acting like William Shatner in Star Trek TOS).
I'm one of those rare people who enjoyed SGU. It wasn't perfect, the SG writing staff can't write complex characters or drama but I like the new lore they build with SGU, the photography and also the music).

Who else is not going to watch the stargate reboot because stargate is fuckin' shit?

it was a fun tv show user, very comfy

I liked a few of the first episodes of SGU.
However a really bad problem with that show was the german voice actress for that girl who fucked that one soldier. She was just so bad.

SGU could have been great but they kept putting round after round into their feet and kept reloading the gun.
The setting could have been great, two Ancient ships flying around the universe, seeding new galaxies with stargates. That shit is awesome. But the hard focus on drama and characters was so off putting that I couldn't stomach it.
SG-1 was a great monster of the week show. SGA got lame after the second season but it still did the "we're separated from earth" far better than SGU.
SGU would have been better if there were different species dialing into the ship and the crew constantly had to deal with them. Could have opened up a lot of interesting developments but they focused so hard on the crew being drama creating faggots. Is this race peaceful? Can we get some supplies in trade? Or OH FUCK THEY ARE WORSE THAN THE GOU'LD AND WRAITHS WITH THE RELIGIOUS ZEAL OF THE ORI!
They made the same mistake that TFA made, they focused on humans.

That's not necessarily bad, even if I liked to see what you described with more alien encounters.

I can only really remember one specifically.

What I really liked was everything about survival. I really really like survival themes in those types of shows. That's why I liked the earlier seasons of Battlestar Galactica as well, before it turned into a family drama. (literally)

Its one of my pet peeves about science fiction, its way to focused on Humans and Humans alone. Aliens are resigned to the zany or terrifying or are so close to human's visually and emotionally that they may as well be human. I want human's in conflict with truly alien beings.
Remember the episode in SG-1 where Daniel gets grabbed by Chakka the Unas? That was one of my favorite episodes because Daniel is trying to get to that middle ground, he's learning about this alien's culture first hand and finds out that they are more intelligent than anyone gave them credit for.
I do agree with you on the survival aspect, I just wish there was more conflict going on.

The SGA crew was really separated from Earth in the first season but after that, they keep bringing more and more SGC people with the Deadalus/Odyssey, so the "survival" aspect didn't really last long.
At least with the Destiny crew, the only interaction they have with Earth is through the communication stones. Finding an Icarus-like planet to use a stargate was nealy impossible.

I agree. I think the writers made a mistake by making the drones overpowered. The same error they made with the Ori in seasons 9 of SG-1. I hate to say that but I think the cancellation came at the right moment. I don't think they could've come up with a good twist to get rid of the drones.

you had me at reboot tbh

I'm going to watch it because I liked the movie but hated all 3 of the tv shows.
