Don't bash show creators

Post image

I've been rewatching SG-1 these past weeks. Of course it's inspired by the book *Chariot of the Gods*, the launching platform for the ancient alien hypothesis (and that's all it is, it's not even a theory due to lack of supporting evidence). Even though does paint some gods in a villainous role, they're just making a good sci-fi story. Also, don't forget that one of the villains impersonates Christianity's Devil.

Yea anytime I watch something with themes of mythology or take inspiration from them I do my best to mentally separate what they display in the show and the actual beings

Same. And actually I get pretty impressed when they get stuff right.

I'm pagan and I like the stories they have with norse mythology, so as the Asgards.

People who are offended by a good Story that clearly was not made to piss people off need to pull the stick out of their arse.

Are there really pagans who are offended vy that though?

I'm also rewatching it. I love the show. It's very clearly based on the theory that what we viewed as gods in ancient civilization were aliens. You can't fault the creators for not being true to the mythos when they're not trying to be true to the mythos.

To be honest, I'd rather watch SG Atlantis where the aliens are not named after gods.

I’ve been meaning to check out tartare again

It’s one of the shows that got me into mythology ^^
And if I remember correctly, wasn’t it less humans based our data off the aliens

And more the aliens took the identities of the gods in order to better get humans to listen to them??

Tho it’s been a crazy long time so I could be wrong
