I actually started spreading the idea among other fans that the Asgards were the worst of the "Four Races". They couldn't beat the replicators, and their technology actually helped spread the little buggers; they beguiled people into worshipping them just like the Goa'uld; they committed mass suicide as a race instead of continuing to advance the causes of the other races. Although Thor was cool.Oh i wasn't actually talking about the asgards. Do you remember that episode where they wanted to get some resources from this group of people that resembled the native american indians? (don't remember what resource) and these people believed in spirit animals and worshipped them? and turns out the spirit animals do have "supernatural" powers but they were also an alien race, and were just there to watch over the people.
About the asgards, yea ... but it doesn't take much to be morally better than the gao'uld. they couldn't beat the replicators but they tried, and thor sacrificed a lot in that effort. hmm. Idk, I mean yea the part about them pretending to be gods is pretty bad. I'm not too concerned about the mass suicide, they couldn't reproduce, they were having lots of problems because of genetic degradation and such, it was a sooner or later thing. And Stargate makes a big deal of giving a civilization advance technology before it is ready will lead to catastrophic results, so all the advance races are really annoying in that sense, not surprised the asgards died to prevent the spread of their technology.
