- Nothing requires the wormhole "surface" to be a sphere, just like nothing requires the wormhole in the 2D analogy to be a circular hole. If you make it a sphere with one flat side, travelers won't have to traverse curved space (with the attendant weird tidal/gravitational effects).by wiml
- Doctor Who's Time Vortex is not a wormhole...by LoganDark

- If you’re inclined to add any more, consider Outer Wilds! “Black holes technology” is a major plot point and shows up as a neat gameplay mechanic in a couple places.by nlawalker

Seconded, and don't worry, the initial art gets a lot better over the decades. :)
by Terr_ - Scott Manley has a couple of nice videos about wormholes:

The second video is about how the first video was made.
by smcameron - We never see the wormhole in Stargate, at least under SG1 canon. It's microscopic and simply used for transporting a matter stream. The ring field is a matter destabalizer and recombinator, pretty much the same thing as Star Trek transporters. Thats why radio waves can move two-way but matter is one-way.
Now if you're using Movie canon, yeah, it's broke.
Also, Marvel? Those aren't wormholes, they're magic portals.
