We were gonna have the Yeti, we were gonna have the Loch Ness Monster. It was all going to make sense how these things are tied together.

Sounds like we dodged a bullet.

"They were actually aliens! Hey... Why aren't you surprised?"

"We already figured that out."

I mean, the OG movie was always riffing on "what if the crazy conspiracy theorists were right about the pyramids" being both serious and dumb. if it had been a little less well done, it would have been a trash movie.

Let's not lie to ourselves, it sounds like it'd make perfect sense in the Stargate universe.

All myths are true, all ancient gods are aliens, Merlin is an Asgard, all artifacts from history and legends are in fact Ancient devices. So the Yeti being an Unas is not outlandish at all.

Merlin wasn't an Asgard, he was an Ancient!

And he lived inside Daniel Jackson for a little while

The original movie came out in 1994, Universe came out in 2009. That's 15 years. 2009 to 2024 is also 15 years. Universe is about to be older than Stargate was when it came out. Yikes.

Roland Emrick has no business making anything other than absurd disaster movies. That's it that's all he should be allowed to ever do. He does that pretty well and nothing else.

Did anyone ask for a reboot anyway? I just want a proper finale to what we already have...

I for one am more than happy with this news, he wanted to completely ignore the tv shows and pick up where the first film left off. No thanks. Doesn't help his last few films have been less then good.

Amazon/MGM owns this property and has yet to reboot it. You’d think they’d try another TV series to boost their MGM streaming channel.
