- The Asgard are widely considered to be one of the most advanced and benevolent races in the Stargate mythos. In this video I discuss the Asgard whose civilization would go on to greatly impact the modern human race creating a legacy that would leave an indelible mark on the inhabitants of the Milky Way galaxy.

I was sad when the Asgard destroyed themselves. Thor's goodbye with Carter was touching.
It occurred to me that they could use time travel after the Asgardians of the other galaxy figured out how to save their species. For some reason they don't do it... let's say int his case humanity wouldn't have all the knowledge of the Asgards.
It missed Jack. I couldn't take this episode seriously anyway.
I loved the Asgard, but really would have loved to know more about their hidden cousins in the Pegasus Galaxy, the Aesir.
Sadly the premature cancelation of Atlantis prevented many stories from growing and coming full circle.
Their timeline never made sense either. As per Heimdall, the asgard were still using cryogenics and no/sub-par FTL 30,000 years ago. This was long after the Lanteans had left earth for Pegasus and cut ties with the Milky Way. Yet, they were somehow aware of the Wraith war in Pegasus?
@@PathsUnwritten
But again (spoiler for the books....) The war with wraith was 10000 years ago... thats when Aesir and VANIR became separated.
by then both sides had intergalactic hyperdrives. (A mothballed Vanir scoutship could make Pegasus-earth ship in 3 days, comparable to ZPM equiped X304) Vanir mostly lost the technology because they decided to hide on "unitersting" planet and didnt have neutronium to rebuild the tech.
Vanir could likely reconstruct technology to standards of 10000 years ago (still good but definitely not matching mainstay Asgard in weapons tech or shields) of their Ida Aesir counterparts.
When Daniel helped them to contact Raan (ancient ascended Asgard from times before the genetic program) she descended with them planing to use her eggs as a template for continuing their species. (And they became somewhat less assholes promising not to contest humanity ever again)
@@Paerigos well they said they wouldnt cause problems in the pegasus galaxy anymore, they arnt contesting humanity
@The Insufferable Tool I believe the acsended asgard said she wanst sure wither her eggs could be used but basicly said she would give it a shot as long as they dont cause more problems
Stargate was an absolute beloved series of mine. I own most of the original series on DVD still. And Atlantis in many ways for me got even better than the original. The premature cancelation of Atlantis was a Greek tragedy IMO.
Even though I know all the mythology by heart it's still enjoyable to sit and listen to your videos! Thank you for your wonderful content as always!
The wife and I just started rewatching the whole Stargate Franchise.....Just watched the episode with Thors Hammer literally yesterday....funny that!
I'm on S2 E20, I don't remember all of the series and not watching TV during the last few series.
I just watched that episode last night!
Star Trek: we must not interfere with their development, as it is our prime directive
Stargate: gods aren’t real here take a gun.
Stargate "The fifth Race", what a great series title that would be...I know they did an episode with that name, but a continuation of that theme would be awesome...
Dang... Its been so long to remember, but your videos really reminded me of the emotion my wife and I experienced when we navigated the SG1 universe. I appreciate your videos more than words can describe. You, literally, too me on a Stargate flashback and the Asgard's... OMG. I need to rewatch it all. Thank you!!
I originally watched sg1 as a kid into my teens. When I eventually got married I introduced my ex-wife to it. I have such great memories of seeing her all excited by the Asgard and the other races. My wife's face when when the nox showed up the first time was amazing. These vids bring back the happiest times of my life.
I was hoping we'd find out in later series that the Ancients took pity on the Asgard and helped them ascend like they did for abydos.
actuality if i good remeber is aasgard took a pice of antients, more suprise is one of few asgard ancents yep befor clons one or more asgard evolved to this fly light energy like ancents, and asgards from pegas try trap her to take her dow and have life old asgard, if i good remeber they fail but she back anyway to help last of her kind. Bad thing is not our asgards
Unlikely. It was mentioned in the last episode that was no longer a possibility for the Asgard. Their genetic manipulations removed the biological requirements for ascension. Ancients couldn't help them ascend even if they wanted to.
@@refulgent_fanta Maybe not ascend naturally but maybe ascended by the ancients. It's scifi anything can happen in scifi.
This has always been my head cannon.
@@Mukation sorry, I'm not sure I'm understanding what head canon means. Am I correct that you mean in your own head the asgard were ascended by the ancients?
Never following through on the Asgard offshoot storyline is my biggest gripe with Atlantis.
One of my favorite scenes is Jack attempting to grill Thor on possible, and subtle, body language that would tell Jack what Thor recommended in dealing with the System Lords and the Protected Planets Treaty. "Was that a nod?!"
Great video! Loved it! 👏👏😍
I absolutely loved the Asgardians and all the episodes they were in. I was sad - and very disappointed - that we lost them! 😢
Wonderful!! My only nitpick is that the Pegasus Asgard needed a mention, since they survived the mass Asgard suicide.
And per their claim solved their genetic issue
Yes
Seeing how they've had intergalactic travel for probably 10s of thousands of years, I wouldn't be surprised if there was another offshoot species out there somewhere. Type 2 on the kardeshev scale for sure approaching type 3 possibly, we're still only type 1 even with the advancements they gave us. We only have the tools to use their technology but not to recreate it from our knowledge base alone. They merely gave us the means to reproduce their tech so we're something of a holdover species. We wouldn't be able to reproduce even their most basic technology if that wasn't the case.
@@DeathBYDesign666 technically we have the sum total is their knowledge. Which means we have basically all of their blueprints, so to speak. Also, all the knowledge they gathered to get to said specific developments. Which allows earth to not only reproduce Asgard technology, but in time, make advancements on it. The problem is the sgc and affiliated parts are still classified, thus hindering development. Eventually that won’t be the case and true development can occur.
@@yoboyrob201 Technically they could rebuild Atlantis with the tech they gave humanity, remember Samantha said she could reproduce Merlin's phase shifting device from just her memory and that's practically ascending ancient technology. There's no reason why they can't make zpms with the same technology as well unless harvesting sufficient energy resources are the key factor here. This might be the only obstacle they have in reproducing some of the technology, it could take lots of subtly of experience to do so safely. It could take bigger brains to account for the variables that happen on the fly, then again they might have put in fail safes to assure that we don't develop too fast. Or it could just take time to acquire the resources to synthesize the base elements needed to replicate some technology. In any case it will speed up development by hundreds of times, so even being just type 1 now means we could achieve type 2 in just a few decades or so. Even though they have access to later type civilizations technology total use of it will take possibly hundreds of thousands of years. They have the sum total of both the ancients and the Asgardians knowledge but it would take a very long time to get through even a fraction of it. Remember also that the Asgard said they had been studying the ancient database for thousands of years and have still barely scratched the surface. Some of it is probably so far beyond us that we don't even know the keyword to search for to use most of it. There is still a learning curve to be overcome in this case I suppose.
☝🏼 "Supreme Commander..."
The Asgard were the most interesting species on the show, they seem to have rediscovered humour and a sense of being a parent of something that they had long forgotten.
The intro got me thinking about an altar where people place their offerings and ask for something. But it’s a matter replicator with an AI that reformats the matter of the offering into the thing they’re asking for.
While watching the Stargate SG-1 series, I always wanted to learn more about the history of the Asgard. Were they always so benevolent? Did they have an advanced race/society help them reach the galactic rank they held? Why couldn't they genetically modify themselves to become capable of ascending?
Anyway, thank you for the awesome content! Excellent as always!
Well they changed themselves to point of being incapable of it - but - how do you change yourself back when you had to already redo you brain to house millenia worth of memories? With (in this regard) inferior brain you may be able to ascend, but it wont really be YOU when you loose millenia of memory that made you as individual.
Also Asgard generaly werent that fond of Ancient rules of not interfering. Most of them couldnt just sit idly by and watching stuff while Ancients forcing them to.
It's entirely possible that they do have an offshoot species that did just that, there is non canon material that says that there have been Asgard that have ascended before. Don't ask what it was, I just heard that through some other comment a while back. They probably do have the ability just not the desire to do so as it would mean loosing much of their former selves.
I don't think they did because remember the replicators destroyed most of their galaxy and killed many Asgard that were left! It's a shame that happened that might have lived long enough to get the info from the Atlantis team about the Pegasus galaxy Asgard!
I always loved the Asgard, especially Thor. If I was in that universe (but with my meta knowledge) I would steal the timeship, go back 5K years, and go to the Asgard. I would bring the gate location of that one android and the planet location with the crashed old Asgard ship. I would try to save them
The Asgards are very interesting and very advanced and benevolent race. This video is excellent and includes all important information concerning the Asgards. In Stargate Atlantis we knew that there remain few Asgards (how much ?) in Pegasus galaxy. Many thanks for the quality of Nerd Cookies videos on Stargate franchise.
Amazing video, I wish there was more information on the 100,000 years of Asgard history and the Furlings
I always wish they had not decided to bring the Asgard race to an end. the episodes that feature them were always the most fun.
Remember Heimdal ?
Well. . . to be fair, if you're named after the pantheon famous for being killed off in the most metal apocalypse ever, you should expect to not make it to the finish line.
Tears come to me at their memory. They went out like gangsters.
Great vid!!! 🤠
Its was sad when thor said good bye he was gald to have been friends with the sg1 team and humans! When he said you must go i cried!
I never wanted them to go but you must admit that was one hell of an exit.
Thanks guys, i confess i was a little shocked and disappointed by the asgard ending. Or final appearance
Totally agree! It was very disappointing that we lost them in the series.
@@Age_of_Apocalypse yes disappointing. Curious in your opinion to you think the asgard power core given in that episode is the asgard equivalent of a zpm ? Like the Atlantis power device.
That was really interesting!!!
Whenever I would year the "fifth race" part it always gave me the tingles.
Holy smokes its da stargate Cookies!!!🤩🤩🤩
There were at least 1 other culture builder race on Earth known as the Ohne and the members of this race, a mated couple named Nem and Omoroca as seen only once in the season 1 episode Fire and Water
The Asguard were my favorite characters... I actually cried at the end of SG1.
Gary Nerdrotic recommended you and I am glad he did, will spend the day watching your videos.
Thank you! Can you tell me where he recommended me? I'd like to see it and leave a thank you on whatever video it is.
@@NerdCookies superchat square up yesterday you were mentioned during LOTR talk, he mentioned that the only channels that would survive were good lore channels like yourself and men of the west. Gary has a good eye for channels and I have similar interests. Can't be sure but I think it was in middle section of the square up.
Thanks for the info!
STARGATE ASMR. Love it
Thor: "You are the fifth race, your role is clear..."
Bit disappointed that the Vanir offshoot of the Asgard from the Pegasus Galaxy were not mentioned
The only "greys" in all of SciFi that I actually like!
It has occurred to me that the asgard hid a directive inside their database that should the humans of earth ever find a solution to their proboem that it would create a fresh clone with their transportation technology that would use the new findings to revitalize their entire race. Presumably they just ran out of time to achieve this themselves and with a lost tribe of asgard still alive their extinct status is kinda hard to say for sure. They have a way back because humanity does carry the sum of their entire races memories and experiences.
It was a sad day when the Asgardians destroyed themselves. What was just as sad was when in irresponsible human fashion, the awesome Asgard ships that were given to them, (i.e. - The O'Neil, etc.), would get destroyed in battle. That totally sucked when that happened. All that awesome technology, gone. Bummer. I miss the Asgard. Thor ruled; "Supreme" Commander!
IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACKSWING?!?!?!!?! No really, loved the Asgard. loved how they used the roswell grey meme and tied it in with norse mythology. My only real complaint about the Stargate series is that they went from being ignorant of how to use the gate....to multi-galactic super power...all in just 10 years. The technology they encountered should have been the equivalent to magic to them and taken a lot more than just 10 years to grasp some of the basics. That and I really wanted to see the human population's reaction to the gate becoming public knowledge.
Thanks 😊
Looks like the MGM and Amazon deal is finalized. What they will do with the SG franchise once they fully aquire it is a scary thought.
thank you
The Asgard legacy almost became another replicator-like Apokalips when some bosses thought it should be used against the Ori fleet...
That would have been horrible! Could you imagine a replicator army of ori technology!!
Sweet 👍
the asgards were the best of the 4 races, all the others didnt assume responsabilities and only fled and didnt care much about the other races, including ancients , but the asgard who were the youngest of the four managed to help out for thousands of years and maintained order. If they were as selfish as the ancients they might have been eextremely more technological advanced
i loved the Asgard. They were propably earths best allies and friends
They were the only real ones!
Your the best😊
7:06 is this from atlantis i forgt the asgardian name?
The one thing I keep thinking about is why didn't the Asgard who probably knew about time travel just go back in time to retrieve DNA from that one lost crew from their peoples past?
Because it didn't help them they tried but even by then it was too late!
My favorite race the Asgard out of all the highly evolved. Intelligent sophisticated races were the most helpful. I mean don't get me wrong there were some alien races that were helpful to. Sg1 and the defense of Earth but if I really think about it there were no real.
Significant help from any of the five Great races the ancients had become energy beings. Becoming extremely arrogant and not caring about life at all. Except their own existence as energy and tranquility they became so high and mighty. They forgot what it meant to be human and to be alive.
The furlings are unknown
The goa'uld turned into the enemy
The Nox became too pacifistic and essentially turn their backs on the other races. Refusing and unwilling to help even if it meant their own destruction.
And then there were the other alien races that were not part of the five. The tollan by far could have been the most helpful Ally. But they became too arrogant in their ways of advancement and technology and.
Treated their allies as less beings even though humanity let it pass. They were all too quick to remind their friends and allies that they were inferior. It did not deserve their technology after one bad experience and after numerous times of trust that was built with Earth. But in the end due to their arrogance they were destroyed for it.
The tokra did help Earth but they were few and no number. In very rarely could get goa'uld technology.
Then there was the Asgard who treated humanity with the respect. Admiration and help that they desperately needed. The Asgard were very wise and very fair especially under the supreme Commander Thor. This help was built on trust and mutual respect and with both sides helping each other.
The Asgard had such respect and humility for humanity that they trusted them with. the mental responsibility of their entire history and race. To use that knowledge for good and to protect those who can't protect themselves.
I always wish they would have expanded on the furlings
Asgard in the end considered Humanity their last chance of their legacy not being perverted like the ancient one by the Goauld...
also in essence Hermiod was the one who gave humanity pass on it in one of the books. He was there in essence to decide if Earth is worthy to preserve their legacy. in the end noting that we are much more like them then anyone else. That Earth will use the technology for both peace and war... like they did when necessary.
In kind of thing - Goauld are the humans at our most selfish... Asgard are humanity at our best, and Ancients are the ideal which we thing anyone should aspire to, but its an ideal which in fact is about as bad as the goauld because of righteous assholesness and false superiority.
Asgards at least tried to own all their mistakes and warn others not to do them.
Asgard Legacy : That Function is not possible
If I’m correct while the Asgard is now gone a group in the Pegasus galaxy is still around and as far as we know still alive so the Asgard as a race is still here.
Yeah how a question for you go ahead and when This alien move to the highest of the existence?
What happened with all the ships?
I'm weapons they have what happened to that.
The Stargate Story is the Biggest , most adventurous , Sci-Fi series of all . From bumbling scientific explorers to battling ACTUAL gods in 10 years .
Huge story Ark . Well developed characters and a Cast and Crew that Clearly Loved the show they were making .
False gods. That was pretty much established during the series.
@@laborincana4490 . Gou'ald yes . Ori ,much closer to actual Godhood .
It occurred to me that they could use time travel after the Asgardians of the other galaxy figured out how to save their species. For some reason they don't do it... Let's say int his case humanity wouldn't have all the knowledge of the Asgards...
❤ I think the azgards & or the ebends are real❤🎉
Am so sad 😢 for the milkiway asgards. But intime the fifth race will discover more speices maybe even those other asgards from the pegasus.
I'm still not sure the Asgard are entirely gone because the Ancients/Alterans could have assisted in their ascension. Albeit they are a race of clones they were still biological beings who may have purposely forgone the means to ascend spontaneously but other unevolved humanoids have historically been helped ascend if a majority of "Others" agreed to help, thinking them worthy. Daniel Jackson was in no way advanced enough to ascend but did so twice, seconds before the destruction of the Replicator's ship on the second occasion. We saw the Asgard's final act of self sacrifice but not their physical destruction?
One of the best episodes still remain S2E6, first proper encounter with Asgards... But the concept behind the fact Simeria was invaded is so bullshit: "because Thor's hammer is destroyed, Goa'uld invaded Simeria".
I mean... They could destroy this device from space without any problem by bombarding it, then invade, since ages.
And apparently, the only reason why SG1 was able to save Simeria was because they "contacted" Thor. So he was not aware at all that Simeria was invaded, before that. It means this idea of protected planets is fallacious, if there is not a constant monitoring.
If Goa'uld invade just because the security system is down and not because they respect the pact of protected planets, it's non-sense. Like... Later, it was established trough the summum with Goa'ulds lords / Asgards / Tori that earth will be protected. So... Why Simeria was invaded in first place? Horus is also a lord...
Just sayin', i LOVE stargate, but they take some shortcuts to justify their plot sometimes...
❤777❤😮bemneb❤❤
Asgard be like. We ain't got no deeiks
Bro lmaoooo
in star gate atlantis they made contact with a branch of the azgard they were not like the milky way azgards.
I think it would be better if the series writer considered the ancient Egyptian gods as the good alien race , they were more righteous and wise than norse gods, norse gods were warriors and savages who respect the sword and fighting
Long live Thor !!!!!
Well, I liked the asgard, but their mass suicide was completely pointless. They had the technology required to transfer their consciousness into computers, so they could have continued their existence as a machine civilisations, free from the confine of biology. Such a machine civilisation existence wouldn't be necessarily permanent, because if they finds a solution to their genetical flaws, they could transfer their consciousness into the newly printed bodies.
The problem is that they had new blood thoughts! New ideas! They couldn't get past there problems with cloning because no one knew anything else had any creative ideas! ,
So with the database given to SG1, we can bring back the Asgard.
I've always found it amusing that a Gods that demanded human sacrifice (Norse) was considered benevolent while a God (Zeus) that couldn't keep his what's it in his pants was considered evil. It's almost like an intersectional feminist wrote this part of the lore.
If we ever get a Stargate revival...hopefully after the "woke craze" has finally burned out (if ever) so it won't ruin it...I hope we see the Asgard again, or an homage to them at least.
I wonder if Carter would have been considered woke nonsense if it had been released today
@@lilyeves892 "only because my reproductive genitals are in the inside, instead of the outside ..." would be something taken seriously nowaday. Very early stargate tried that woke nonsense and it was cringe af. They quickly ditched it thank god. They even had an episode with alternate carter thinking that line and saying its so stupid as a nod to the stupidity of early stargate Carter. The mongol episode was also another cringeworthy one.
To some of us, this has always been our Thor. Not big handsome Aussie guy or fat redhead, but a Grey
It’s a puppet…..
That voice is so annoying
well, move on bro...
