@Polygon Bad take

Well this is a hastily cobbled together shit-take of conjecture and misdirection.

The author starts by misreading a grassroots marketing launch as a statement of exclusive intent. Come on.  Announcing a series TO a fandom alongside its community leaders is standard PR; it's not proof that the show was designed exclusively FOR fandom. In fact, it was made clear from the start that, first and foremost, the series would function as an accessible entry point for new viewers...while still respecting canon.  And, by the way, “Respecting canon” does not mean “requiring new viewers to be familiar with 350+ hours of existing Stargate programming” as this article implies.

The author proceeds to support their point by launching into fan fiction: "No plot details were revealed about the scrapped show, but I can easily imagine…”  And they certainly do.  What follows is a parade of clichés, a generic legacy-sequel checklist that the author has conjured up from nothing and pinned to the new show as predictive evidence.

Then comes the claim that Starfleet: Academy failed because the showrunners: "focused too much on paying tribute to the series' past.”  Uh, wut?  Yes, Starfleet: Academy did receive a fair amount of criticism, but strict adherence to canon wasn't on the list of grievances.  This reads like a comment from someone who likely never even watched the show, much less perused the fan response.

They state: "Rebooting the cannon also would let the new Stargate showrunner bring back the Goa'uld, the franchise's most iconic villains…”  No, it wouldn’t.  Know why?   Because the goa’uld... ARE CANON!!!!

The article concludes with a disconnected meditation on an old Stargate storyline with no relation to either the new show or the author’s own argument.

I want to say it was written by A.I., but surely A.I. would display more logical consistency than this.

How the hell does this account have over 1 million followers?

ICYMI: Despite the series order last November, #Amazon is not moving forward with their Stargate series, as they were reportedly concerned about it only appealing to diehard fans. ⭐️

Amazon kills “Stargate” show made by original producers, may hand it to someone who would "give it a fresh new perspective" 😭

@HaloFollowercom How does it look like fan art?

[Digital Space Man @BizarreFog]

@soncharm Let's be careful about harassing execs and sending DMs that can get nasty real quick

[IGN @IGN]

As the dust settles on Amazon's shock decision to scrap its in-development Stargate revival series, its consulting producer has disputed a claim that the show would not have appealed to a broad enough audience. https://t.co/N38agTuITC

@dial_the_gate Found this petition, doesn't mean much but it's at least a formal way to protest

Noooooooooo! I blame Zelenka. I'm so sorry @BaronDestructo ... :(

[Digital Space Man @BizarreFog]

@BaronDestructo Dude.. bless you for being able to keep doing this after what happened, I can't imagine where your head must be at right now. Stay strong🙏 we're all rooting for you and your team

[Digital Space Man @BizarreFog]

@SayuriArtsy Dude I can hear this gif in my head, great work!

[Jessica Eckerle @j_eckerle]

#Stargate is trending on @X

Just imagine what viewership would have been on this show @AmazonMGMStudio and @PrimeVideo .

Can you fix this absolute travesty, @JeffBezos ?!?!

[Disparu @disparutoo]

So because Stargate was going to be for Stargate fans they cancelled it 🤣 GG Amazon

[Digital Space Man @BizarreFog]

@GayRepublicSwag @dial_the_gate Thank you 🙏 spread the word!

[Digital Space Man @BizarreFog]

Halo decided to ignore the original IP and fandom and it flopped MISERABLY

[Digital Space Man @BizarreFog]

However upset you guys are about the #Stargate cancellation news, its so much worse than you think. This was not a decision based on budget, it was a decision made by Amazon that the stargate fandom wasn't worth the show. There's no such thing as niche fandoms anymore (cont)

[Digital Space Man @BizarreFog]

I also keep thinking about how when studios choose the fandom they ALWAYS win 100% of the time

Daredevil rewrote their season to make it what the fans want and now theyre on their 3rd season

Sonic made it more like the games and they're on their 4th movie
