@SandyLender@jondelarroz It was largely inoffensive until that bit at the end.
Way to retcon Catherine Langford's agency as a character throughout the entire franchise 😒
I’m gonna simply say this: if you are at all interested in a Stargate show with ANY of the original creators/performers involved, now is the time to say something. Otherwise it really will be the end of that chapter forever. Let them know you are THERE
@K2ET_WNY@WardoftheStates And the PBX. Can't forget that.
I just watched that episode actually. On Season 4 with some friends I'm introducing the show to. Any excuse for a rewatch 😊
Amazon has just canceled its Stargate show in development.
In response, I canceled my Prime membership.
I didn't have high hopes after the Wheel of Time, and apparently, I was right.
Back to "maybe some day..." 😭
@neoteaika Amazon has really shot themselves in the foot and blown itself out an airlock with this move.
Fans won't forget, and Martin Gero's team has poured so much into this series and made it authentically Stargate.
amazon fumbling a Stargate reboot that hyped literally every third person I talk to IRL is smoking some crazy shit,
generational fuckup if it doesn't get picked back up, especially when it's the perfect time for a proper sci-fi adventure given there's not much else on there rn
Stargate is the most important IP for MGM other than James Bond. This is an unbelievably stupid decision by @AmazonMGMStudio. You don’t buy Stargate and write off the years of shows and fans because you feel like a continuation would be too “niche.”
#Stargate#StargateNow
@Nina7Infinity@Anihilus2@amazon@AmazonMGMStudio This isn’t about broad appeal whatsoever. It’s about Los Angeles appeal…just like every other IP that’s been deconstructed to appeal to a ‘modern audience’.
What I learned from this whole #Stargate blowup was that it's apparently the only franchise whose creators and actors actually care about fidelity to the past and the wishes of both long-term fans and people being introduced to the IP for the first time.
"The modern audience" simply doesn't exist.
Respect the lore, write stories that are central to the universe they are in, and loyal fans will always show up with full support.
Not everything needs to be a reflection of modern day Hollywood trends and agendas.
Amazon sucks.
HEY @amazon@AmazonMGMStudio
I REFUSE to believe that the original creators of #Stargate would have created something that wouldn't have had broad appeal. They are extremely talented people that created one of the biggest franchises in our time. REVERSE this decision!
LET THEM SHOW YOU AND US WHAT THEY CREATED.
Look at what is happening to Disney Star Wars at the box office right now. Look at how the new Star Trek Academy went.
WHY do you keep making the same mistakes?!?
IT'S NOT TOO LATE. LET GERO, JOE AND THE OG'S COOK!
I’m not ready to let Amazon get away with kicking such an incredible production team (and the fans) to the curb this late in the process after making such a public announcement out of the Stargate’s return (with a straight-to-series order) last year.
Completely unacceptable…
