Stargate's subtle humour is one of the main reasons the show was so successful. We really need to #SaveStargate

First teaser for ‘RESIDENT EVIL - VERONICA’.

Releasing in 2027.

The new Stargate series is dead. The reason Amazon cancelled it has me absolutely infuriated.

This show could have been massive, the timing could not have been better. The news is full of ancient alien conspiracies and actual advancements in space exploration. Nearly every sci-fi property is failing their target demographic. Star Trek sucks, Star Wars sucks. What an opportunity to create a great show; squandered.

Amazon's Stargate series was created by show veterans and designed to respect the established lore, and thus respect the dedicated fanbase.

The executives at Amazon thought they knew better. They read the script and did not believe the show would appeal to an audience outside of the established core viewerbase. They told them to abandon the world that had been built up over 17 seasons to appeal to a mythical 'modern audience'. The showrunners refused, held their ground, said 'I die free', and thus the show was cancelled. Massive respect to them.

As a LONG time Stargate fan who has watched through SG1 at least half a dozen times: I would rather have NOTHING than a betrayal. I would rather we never get another Stargate property again than see them do to my favorite show what they've done to The Lord of the Rings with 'The Rings of Power'.

Impudence!

This is an actual quote from SG1: "Never underestimate your audience. They're generally sensitive, intelligent people who respond positively to quality entertainment."

@RaymanGame Missed the physical copy without an internet connection sadly. Will pickup the originals.

@AumGensokyo By the time of Halo 3, I was still using a CRT. I’m pretty sure i was using one into late 2008 since I also recall playing MGS4 on a CRT initially before picking up a small 22 inch LCD 1080p monitor.

@Polygon I'm not sure what's worse - this article or your Doom 2016 gameplay.

[Joseph Mallozzi 🏴‍☠️ @BaronDestructo]

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.

[MR RATCHET @MRRATCHET_]

@amazon Do you want to know what happens when you try to make a show with “broad appeal” instead of for the fans?

You get a show like Paramounts Halo. A show made for no one.

Make a show for the fans, the good will and word of mouth will do the rest.

[Cosmic Book News @cosmicbooknews]

Amazon's reported reason?

Executives were allegedly concerned the series wouldn't have "broad appeal" beyond the existing fanbase.

Fans immediately fired back:

"So because Stargate was going to be for Stargate fans they cancelled it."

[Donald Ward @WardoftheStates]

I loved Stargate SG-1 because it didn't condescend to the audience by recycling tired SciFi tropes.
This is my FAVORITE scene.
No negotiating. No half hour struggle session to see what the Replicators want. Straight action.
"We ARE Replicators"
"Ah"
*Mag dumps on the baddies*

[Physical Releases Play Physical @PhysicReleases]

In this way, Ubisoft managed to irritate the owners of the two main platforms currently available... Rayman Legends Retold and its fake physical releases...

[MR RATCHET @MRRATCHET_]

@COWBOYCTRL @AshleyFromWW @ray_ray200108 So based on this image for the PS5 version, you need the internet and even though they give you a disc, the disc for Rayman is just a key and forces you to download the game, making the disc pointless.

[MR RATCHET @MRRATCHET_]

@COWBOYCTRL @AshleyFromWW @ray_ray200108 It depends on the game. Usually the majority of Switch 1 and PS5 games are on disc (does not need internet, copied to SSD) or on the cartridge (play from the cart) but there are some publishers like Ubisoft who use the disc/cart as a 'key' and then force you to download the game

[MR RATCHET @MRRATCHET_]

@COWBOYCTRL @AshleyFromWW @ray_ray200108 If the game is on the disc, it is copied from the disc to the SSD (PS5). If it is on the cartridge, it plays from the cartridge (Switch 1)

[MR RATCHET @MRRATCHET_]

@MetroidFREAK21 Fair enough, purchase what you like of course. I can't get behind Ubisoft at all because of the internet required activation on all platforms, physical or otherwise.

[MR RATCHET @MRRATCHET_]

This is so sad, my father and I were really looking forward to revisiting the world that Joseph and Martin had established. The series was in more than capable hands.

I fear for what comes next for Stargate #SaveStargate

[Joseph Mallozzi 🏴‍☠️ @BaronDestructo]

Sadly, it's true. Amazon has elected not to move forward with the new Stargate series.

There's not much I can add beyond confirming what's happened. But I will say this...

Creator Martin Gero developed a new Stargate series over two years, ultimately crafting a show that offered a fresh jumping-on point for new viewers while deeply respecting existing canon. It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family. And based on that creative vision, the new Stargate series was greenlit in November of 2025.

As of today, officially, that original vision is no more. We'll never get the opportunity to introduce you to that world and those characters - or reintroduce you to, and check in with, some familiar faces from the past.

My heart breaks. For the incredibly talented writers who worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. For Martin who maintained an unwavering positive outlook throughout despite the challenges, and who always strove to make a show that would honor the fans while welcoming a new audiences. And for the long-suffering Stargate fandom who waited so long and came so close to getting a show they truly would have loved.

[Joseph Mallozzi 🏴‍☠️ @BaronDestructo]

Nope. No. Sorry. Gonna have to push back on this. We were ever mindful of creating a show that would have broad appeal.

[MR RATCHET @MRRATCHET_]

@AshleyFromWW @ray_ray200108 No they don’t. Doesitplay has a list of games they test and it seems based on their sample that 70% or so of PS5 and Switch 1 games work fine without internet and are on disc/cartridge.

Ubisoft is forcing this for no reason.
