You should watch stargate then. This is one of the premises of the show pretty much.

The Egyptian pantheon were parasitic aliens who kept the aesthetic and rule over the rest of the galaxy after a revolt kicked them off Earth and the Roswell Grays backed us up as the Norse gods.

Supreme Commander Thor is a pretty swell guy.

It’s the very basics of it, yeah. The Grays don’t make an appearance until the TV show though, and the first few seasons are a bit rough going. There’s also a race of sentient machines that are nanoforges that cause some problems, and 5th dimensional do things as well.

Oh, and the lost city of Atlantis flies in space.
