I hope they go woke as possible. Have Colonel O'Neill be a gay, black, trans woman fighting for social justice across the universe.
Oh, and all the villains have to be exclusively white, hetero men.
It would be a laugh just to watch the right wing nutjobs' heads explode as they froth at the mouth.

Fans tend to react negatively to big and many changes to their show. The discontent seems to generally be more about the changing away from the original, and less about the changing into something else, despite what the virtue signaling fucks think.
In short, if you think only right wing nutjobs have issues with changes of the scope you suggest, we suggest you go see a psychiatrist.

There's no good reason to even reboot Stargate. Like Star Trek, the universe is big enough to keep telling stories in continuity. It's been more than a decade since Atlantis went off the air, so plenty of wiggle room there to change things up.

I mean, it floods around rivers here... and my yard has "flooded". But my yard flooding means when it reaches a certain point, it flows into the street. For water to come into my home tens of square miles would have to flood first. I have always thought it simply couldn't happen... but 25" of rain in eight hours? I both would and wouldn't like to see that here...
The Florida Man of storms, more than 25 inches of rain drenching and flooding Fort Lauderdale in six to eight hours.

Holy shit, the cybertruck was held back because they couldn't figure out a wiper design that Mercedes perfected decades ago https://youtu.be/KHtEAMwcWI4
