    Default The Goa'uld Empire in the MCU.

    What if by act of ROB, the Goa'uld System Lords from the time of 1995 to 2001 were teleported to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the year 2014? How would the System Lords fare in this new galaxy? What threat level would they be? Could they survive in the MCU?

    I don't remember very impressive showings for the ground forces or really anyone in a personal fighting level. I guess maybe numbers would be a thing though.

    So it comes to fleets, in which case, idk, do we think they can beat the Go'uld ship shields/weapons?

    I am not so sure about the weapons on various MCU ships. But I know a Goa'uld Ha'tak could survive hits from 12 shots 200 megaton plasma bolts. Their shields can also survive in the Corona of a blue star for 10 hours.

    In terms of fighting fleets I guess it'd be like...The Milano for the Guardians, Ego on his ship, Captain Marvel...and a whole lot of generic fodder.

    Don't know if that's going to cut it.

    I'm pretty sure that the Goa'uld had full on FTL ships in addition to being extremely familiar with the general concept of traveling through gates to specific points, so they would have a massive movement advantage over every other space faring civilization except the Skrull.

    Could the Goa'uld create Stargates themselves, or were they using some kind of pre-existing network? Also, did the Goa'uld ever implant their symbiotes into enemies to hijack them as a mode of infiltration, Yeerk-style, or did they not have the ability to convincingly impersonate people?

    I don't believe the Goa'uld have the capabilities to build Stargates. They are a scavenger race. They mostly used a pre existing network.

    Yes, they would frequently hijack people and turn them into hosts or infiltrators.

    Whatever else happens, I can picture Ba'al founding a tech company and copying Tony's style. Or maybe taking over Hammer Industries after Justin goes to jail.

    the goa'uld didn't create the star-gates. they just used them like the SGC did. in fact, very few system lords didn't really understand how the gates worked. the only ones that come to mind are ba'al and anubis.

    question: are we including anubis and his forces in this? if so, then MCU earth is gonna have a really hard time beating them.

    No Anubis since this is set in early season Goa'uld. Though Sokar does come along.

    hmmmm. it's possible that tony and one of his AI's could hack their tech. it would be their best bet.

    also, the goa'ulds' literally god complex tends to lead them to underestimate their foes, which is why i consider ba'al and anubis far more dangerous than the regular system lords, since they didn't really have this issue.

    I would say that Captain Marvel can solo the ships. She can just fly right through them.

    She's great in a battle, but she can't really win a war against a Goa'uld empire that's got the resources to be going after hundreds or thousands of targets all over the galaxy at once.

    True, but the Kree, the Skrulls, the whomevers wherevers will do just fine. She's more a "I can obliterate a fleet all by myself" level menace, which means it's dangerous to assemble fleets at all, which limits what they can do.

    Well, that's why the question here is really what the feats for Kree/Skrulls/etc ships actually are. I'm not sure they have much? As someone has already noted, Hatak shields take multiple 200 megaton impacts basically unscathed, so I'm not sure Captain Marvel is even that dangerous to them.

    There's a whole lot of them, they have really good FTL, and once they get a foothold, the Goa'uld are pretty exceptional infiltrators too.

    Yeah like in terms of feats, the ships that Captain Marvel flies through basically have no feats for durability except Captain Marvel flies through them.
