#the general consensus is that she doesn't need to leave the planet or universe if she doesn't want to

Stargate reboot where Daniel Jackson is not a misogynist and does not accept a woman as a fucking gift like she's not a human being. Instead of getting married and apparently Falling in ove, they become friends. Nothing bad happens to Sha're/Shou'ri. Aside from not being blatantly racist and misogynistic, the movie follows the same sort of general plot. Except instead of staying to be a white savior, the Stargate is messed up on Earth's side, and they can't dial back until the problem is fixed. After a while Goa'uld visit the planet again in an attempt to kidnap people, and are successfully repelled.

Obviously someone has to go on a quest to stop them from ever coming back and help other planets, and Daniel Jackson, not a misogynist, will be the token white man on the team. Teal'c is also on the team. The other four teammates, including Sha're, are women.

4 people per team is stupid. You can only split up once, and that only leaves you with groups of two people, which is just stupid. 6 people means that you can split up twice and still have people with a buddy, and groups of three people are much safer than groups of two.

Whatever sort of plot you want follows. The women are treated with respect. None of them die. There are no mystical pregnancies.

They go out world are not treated as inherently evil. No one murders literal babies like it's not a big deal. No one's that is not a villain attempts or succeeds at committing genocide. No one that is not a villain blows up an entire solar system just to see if they can. No one that is not a villain commits war crimes.

Visiting alien planets is dangerous, and a huge chunk of the conflict in the show comes from Human VS Nature because alien planets do not exist for the sake of humans and you can't just go traipsing around casual as hell unless you want to die.

Precautions are taken when meeting with alien people to prevent the spread of germs, and more often than not, parties from different planets very rarely come into close physical contact if they can avoid it, and trade from a distance, and sanitize and clean what they trade before and after they trade it. Most groups have rules against taking alien plants or animals off world if they're still alive or can be revived.

The Jaffa I do not need a white person to convince them to rebel.

If we're going to have the thing with the episode with Chaka, whoever is captured by Chaka is not stupid, and can read nonverbal body language because I swear to God Daniel Jackson is supposed to be smart and I don't think Chaka could have spelled out their intentions any more clearly if they'd said it out loud like God damn it Daniel, how the fuck do you read that body language and think Oh No that means they're going to eat me. I'm sorry. I thought it was painfully obvious that they took your blood and marked it on the cave wall to say okay there's my part of the deal done there's my sacrifice now let's go introduce you to my parents so we can adopt you. Like?! Was it not obvious!??!?!!?

The tokra explain to the humans the tokra is not the name of their species. That go out rules is not the name of their species. Tok'ra and Goa'uld are political parties. Don't just go around calling Tok'ra Goa'uld, it's the equivalent of calling someone a space Nazi.

Jolinar doesn't die, and she and Sam are joined consensually, and they're best friends forever.

The tokra are not the only insert whatever they're fucking species is called group fighting against the Goa'uld.

As with every other fucking god or mythological figure in this goddamn Universe, guess what? Jesus was a fucking Goa'uld. Christians can fucking die mad about it. They don't get to create an entire series demonizing and bastardizing every single other religion ever to exist on this planet and think they are exempt from the fucking blasphemy and disrespect.

Seriously, Christians fucking die mad about it.

At some point there's an episode, an obligatory time travel alternate universe episode, where it is revealed that this is literally an alternate universe to the original series. Because we meet the original Stargate SG-1 and we meet the original Daniel Jackson and we meet the original Sam Carter. The original is the bad timeline where everyone is a horrible person and nothing but bad things happen

The original Daniel reveals that he murdered dozens of children in a fit of rage and everyone in this timeline is completely fucking horrified because he doesn't even care

Literally anything you can do to reduce I'll start it needs to be done. The entire premise is racist. Is that Egyptians, ancient black people wear to fucking stupid to know how to build and because fucking white people can't figure out how to do something meme that no one can possibly know and that aliens had to have done it because there's no way that is ancient black people could have possibly built the pyramids even though they literally fucking did.

To go out world did not found any of the religions they are claiming to be the gods of. They came to Earth, and piggybacked. They are parasites. They can fucking act like it. Don't actually know how to use literally any of their fucking technology, their slaves do literally everything for them. Think about world did not teach people how to make pyramids. The only thing that go out world have going for them is the advanced technology they've stolen from other people. They can't do shit on their own and they don't care to learn because that's what slaves are for.

No one tortures hosts. No one assaults hosts. No one ever attends or forgets that there is a slave being controlled by that Goa'uld. Rescuing them is the top priority.

Second priority is finding out how to safely contain go out ruled and took her out or whatever the fuck their species is called, so that they can take prisoners without it being a death sentence for those prisoners

I swear to God I'm going to repeat myself, no one that is not a villain murders children on screen like it's no big fucking deal because they don't look like human babies so no one gives a shit.
