At the end of the movie. Kurt was asked if he was going to be alright...and he said yes, I think i'm going to be alright...To me i think that was the beginning of the healing process in the character's mind from the death of his son.....RDA was set further into the future where i think he was getting on with life although he still ended up divorced...Although it wasn't talked about much ,there were times where you could see his thought's go back to his son. The return to Abydos, when Loki cloned him or where young kids were involved....other times when he looked like he was thinking of something, he would have a profound sadness to his look,like he wished he could share some of the adventures he and his team went on...In a way you really can't do a comparison because kurt was the original and RDA was the continuation of that character....and of course RDA's humor was really brought out thru the team and not him by himself, which made it even funnier. Of course this is just my perspective on it.
The movie dealt with an O'Neill who wanted to die, and went there to die. Richard Dean Anderson, played a character who brought his men back, after realizing how valuable a life is, and even finding his purpose again in life after coming back. Also a continued life and experience. Both are great actors, both did a great job.
Well said! RDA could play the character very differently, the way he wanted, because Jack had really come through a crucible by the end of the feature film.
Dude, so cool seeing Alexis Cruz! Skaara was always my favorite supporting role. Whenever his role showed up in an episode, it was a delight! Thanks Alexis. Always loved how Skaara would say Oniel.
I would have loved to have had a scene where O'Neill was in Washington and Jackson needed to talk to him, so he gets on a plane to Washington. At the airport, James Spader gets off the plane to be greeted by Kurt Russell. As they get into the car, it's Michael Shanks and RDA. No explanation given.
As an alternative, since O'Neill became the head of Homeworld Security in the Pentagon, we see RDA charging hard down the hall, deep in thought, and bumps into Russell doing the same thing. A quick "General!" "General!" to each other and they go back to what they were doing.
That was a great point that is often ignored. People change. Characters that suffer traumatic events will be changed and not always for the better. We see a little of this with Picard and the Borg, although it was mostly ignored until First Contact. We see a lot more of it with Tony Stark after the Battle of New York. He becomes more intense and more sarcastic, but we see he was deeply traumatized and put that into what became a very bad solution to protect the world. Even after that, we see with his interactions with Thanos that his calm sarcasm was a thin veneer. Fat Thor is another example of someone traumatized and reacting badly, and it will be pissed away if the next Thor movie shows him back to his original self. Trauma changes our underlying programming. Skaara suffered some of the worst possible horror, a prisoner in his own body, forced to watch as his hands did horrible things. Alexis Cruz is to be commended on the great and subtle ways he portrayed this.
"We see a lot more of it with Tony Stark after the Battle of New York" Kinda a stretch there... I think that can be chalked up to RDJ giving fewer shits and the writers giving every character Iron Man type quips.
I'll be honest, when I read the name of the video, my mind read Richard Dean Anderson. But that aside, while I definitely loved Kurt Russell's Jack in SG, it's as Alexis says, two different mediums, two different tones, two different arcs.
BTC price is in a precarious location, the asset set a new all-time high just days ago but is currently below the record and starting to decline. The shifting momentum is now presenting in technical indicators supplying bearish movement, adding to the double top narrative that’s been building since failing to break $20,000. This being taken into note, it can’t be more obvious that tradn Bitcoin is way more profitable than just hodling and waiting for the price of Bitcoin to skyrocket. I didn’t think it was possible to make constant win from tradn till I came across James Hamilton of crypottribesmen program for investors/newbies who lack understanding on how trading Bitcoin works, to help them recover loss from the crash and also stack up more bitcoin, since late last year till date I have made over 25 BTC with James help.

I absolutely loved the first Stargate movie and watched it 5 times when it was on the circuit. When the SG-1 series was launched, I just fell in love with the character of Jack. Movie Jack was brittle, hurt, a super efficient soldier and 200% macho, where RDA's Jack was more vulnerable, evolved tremendously as a character and had this amazing, sarcastic sense of humor. Of course, we spent a lot more years with him and really got to know him and could empathize with him. Therefore, my vote will always go for RDA.
Yes, he seemed hurt by the question from a fan. Was a little uncomfortable for a minute, but he pulled through and really explained his character. I think Skarra is a very big part of Alexis Cruz. The saddest thing that ever happened on SG1, was the day on Abidos when Skarra kicked the ball to Jack and after picking it up and looking back, emptiness, nobody there...
I am looking through the playlist and cannot locate an interview with Martouf (Lantash - J.T. Bourne), who was one of my personal favorites. I'd love to see an interview with him. Great interview series overall and I am really enjoying watching hearing all the back stories. PS: Is Chevron 6 locked by now?
• One of them spells their name with one 'L'. 😀 • The movie was a one-off (despite Emmerich's trilogy intention), but the show couldn't dwell on Charlie's loss for 10 seasons.
Wow, I'm surprised you think Richard Dean Anderson's O'Neill was over the loss of his son. That is so far from the truth. I saw his loss in his actions many times throughout the seasons. Maybe you have to have experienced such a loss to recognize it, but Richard's Jack did still feel the loss of his son. Very much so! Even as early on with his interactions with Skaara! He cared for him in a Fatherly manor from the git go. There's the Retou young boy, and the time where the alien crystal took Jacks form. He found all sorts of photos of Charlie in Jack's locker. He later told Jack that he knew his deepest pain was not from what he had caused but from the loss of his son. Yeah, Richard's Jack may have had a sense of humor, but he never lost the heartache from losing his son. That aside, they both did an amazing job in the parts they played.
@@kristinehayes4885 Thank you Kristine. Actually, humor can be a sign of loss. People use it all the time to hide pain. All anyone has to do is look at Robin Williams to know that. None of us had any idea he was suffering. I thought the role of O'Neill in the series was very well written and played.
I think the meaning was that RDA's Jack had processed it; not that he was over it, but that he had come to terms with it and was able to live with it, where as Kurt Russel's Jack specifically took the Abydos mission because he thought it was a suicide run.
@@telajänis That could very well be. I watched it too long ago to remember exactly how they described the difference, but it's not the way I took it at the time. Sometimes when you watch something over, you see things differently though.
I have to disagree. There were some plots but the event really did not feel like it informed the character much after season 1. Not that he should have stewed in it or anything but I cannot picture the RDA from later seasons as someone who accidentally facilitated the death of his child.
What an interesting perspective! Thanks for your keen insight into the two Jacks; afterall, you would know firsthand. I loved them both Jacks for different entertainment values. Alexis was key player!
Russel's O'Neil and Anderson's O'Neil were so different, I'm not sure they could be considered the same person. The FL film also felt very different from the TV show. Stuff like that, I consider them to be completely different stories. I do this for movie adaptations of books I've read. So like the Harry Potter books were different stories from the movie. They may have a lot of the same elements, but they are not really the same story. Things that happen in the book didn't happen in the movie, or they happened differently in the movie and vice versa.
I was a fan of Kurt Russell years before I ever heard of Richard Dean Anderson and consider Kurt one of the most underrated actors of all time and have seen most of his movies and I'm not disappointed with any of them, he has great range whether it's comedy, drama, and everything in between. Beside MacGyver and Stargate, I barely remember RDA's other roles on Emerald Point NAS and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers which were both shortrun series that were cancelled. I know he's done a few other TV movies and such but have never seen them. Being retired Navy, I have to choose the original Kurt Russell O'Neil because he more accurately portrayed a Special Operations Forces officer. I've rewatched the 1994 movie several times and Kurt's O'Neil is not that strict because I've worked for people in the Navy that make him look like a teddybear. He also practices the various leadership styles a military leader has for each situation. He's strict to business, personable, and in your face when he needs to be. I could go into the five leadership styles effective military leaders use but this is not the platform for that, plus I'm quite aware 99% of you are going to vehemently disagree with me and that's fine, you're entitled to your opinion, just like I am mine.
I've always seen them as alternate reality versions, I love both of these guys and both versions (Movie and Series) any true science fiction fan would. What would be awesome is if you could have them meet with a say guest appearance by Kurt Russell as a high ranking Officer, that would be very very cool.
This is Shannon I kind of disagree with Alex's portrayal of Jack O'Neill in a sense in the beginning episode Jack truly was still feeling the effects from the death of his son as portrayed by Kurt Russell and Richard Dean Anderson portrayed this in the premier he also went back to it in episode where his relationship with his wife was finally done with and they explained that Jack was the reason for The Break-Up because he blamed himself for his son's death And was very cold in his feelings toward his wife do to it. it was also in another episode where the human replicators found something in his mind in order to torture him and that was the memory of the death of his son although it was not referred to very often there were several points in the series where Anderson referred back to Kurt Russell's port trail the character it's also why when scarra was taken against his will and forced to become a slave to the evil gold that this deeply affected O'Neill because of his son
Anderson had a lot more time to develop the character. Kurt Russell played the character for one movie. I felt that Russell played a serious person and soldier. Anderson had some wiggle room to give him a sense of humor.
Damn Jack, whatcha been up to? We're all hurting for some more adventures through the old ring thing up there. Why don't you pull a few strings and get us some episodes rolling out of the can. And Jack, don't be an ass...
And you’d be right, with your joyful heart how could you play the character any differently. We love you, Jack and miss you very badly. Come back to us! ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️
🎶Who am I....🎵 Shame they never checked in to see how he was faring (a typical open ended plot for isolated episodes for most productions, though SG did do a good job revisiting a lot of them); honestly though a little icky when you think about an adult in a teen body going through high school again.
Its a hard question, if Russell had the time to develop the character over more than one movie it might have been different. Both were great actors but Rick had the opportunity to get over the tragedy that Russell was never given. I can't help but wonder what SG1 would have looked like with Russell's O'neil (one L).
I finished watching Atlantis before I saw the original movie and I did not like it. Just like I didn't really like the first four episodes from Showtime either. if the franchise had stayed on that path it would have died before it was born. I am also a Minnesotan so RDA no doubt. And now that I watched it you literally got the one actor with a polar opposite way of viewing his career to talk about this. Bet it was not hard.
Would say Kurt Jack is the death of his son is still recent and Richard Jack is I had to move and hide the pain with humor and cynism and think he the beter Jack because of them
exactly. when movie O'Neil helped those kids on Abydos from the evil Ra, I could feel a sense of relief in him as a man who had lost his own child. It started to heal him, imo.
Um.. what? Jack O'Neill, two L's, was RDA. Kurt Russell played Jack O'Neil with ONE L and had no sense of humor. It was an ongoing gag, and you should be ashamed.

Your right he was good, but to play the series with the hurtin attitude wouldn’t carry it. Sorry, but the joy of RDA made the series. ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️
Alexis looks very different, but sounds exactly the same.
I think it's mostly the beard. It takes his look from boyish to badass.

Kurt Russell is the better actor but the camera loves RDA, he's more charming.

How is that even a question?
Don't even need to watch, RDA blows Kurt Russell away.
I think that is the script's fault. Kurt Russell is an awesome actor, see Big Trouble in Little China.
O'Neil and O'Neill
Both are great for the screen they were chosen for. But, it would been interesting to see Kurt in the series dynamic.

RDA did a great job. But he didnt use enough paper clips or duct tape. In Stargate.
