>>11712737Stargate fandom is growing: lots of people discovered and rediscovered the franchise during COVID. I am surprised at the number of kids who know stargate. But I agree the owners never invested much in merchandise or multimedia outside of collectors’ markets.
>>11715760> Stargate has...typical normal looking army guys, aliens are just regular ol people but with a gold thing on their forehead, barely any space ships at all ever...Naked guys in metally dog helmets, naked guys in rags with boring looking spear thingys, bronze age peasants, planet Canadan woods or planet desert outside of LA every single week....Stargate had amazing writing (most of the time), great mythos, and great character chemistry. I hardly noticed any of those things you mentioned because the storytelling was so good.
>>11716379Probably the main reason it never got a huge following. Spending the majority of your run on premium pay cable tv really limited your reach back in those days. I only discovered it after it moved to sci-fi channel, and I remember they would run through the whole series in a loop on monday nights, likely just to bring people up to speed on the show.
