The Asgard died needlessly
I recently rewatched new order, and in that episode Thor made a major comment, when the Asgard found new colonies they do not transfer their population intact, they store their minds on ships and then build a new cloning plant when they get there. Big question in my mind would be, why would they download themselves in to something which they al know is ultimately going to kill them. Given the fact that having a body serves them no purpose whatsoever because they can interface with their ships and "do whatever they want", they can listen through, power up, create, scan, holographically represent themselves.(which is tactically more useful because the asgard cant exactly kick ass)
Why would a being which relys on technology and has massively superior ships, technology and the ability to transfer consciences ever download themselve in to a body which is completely and fatally useless to them.
The Asgard as a race doomed themsevles by adopting faultly clones and degrading them over the millenia but i think there has never been a good explaination as to why the Asgard need a physical existance in the first place. could they not have engineered a system where they can be the ship through a computer, we know they have that abilty, oniel was the asgard ship, thor controlled a hatak and they transfered the entire asgard population to the new colony by ship.
It makes no logical sense why the Asgard ever needed a body in the first place, after the developed to the point where they can make their minds and technology interface independant of the body.
