@jondelarroz How accurate is this info

[Merak @MerakBashee]

@Nina7Infinity @amazon @AmazonMGMStudio @amazon and @AmazonMGMStudio should just let folks have the stargate they wanted, instead of trying to shove their modern ideas into it. LotR wasn't enough of a lesson?

[Michael Shanks @MichaelShanks]

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

[Nina Infinity @Nina7Infinity]

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!

[Nina Infinity @Nina7Infinity]

Hey Stargate Fans please let @amazon and @AmazonMGMStudio know how you feel about them cancelling #Stargate

They MOCK us. They think they don't need us. Let them know what you think of that.

I won't be watching ANY other Stargate that is created without the OG creators /Gero being involved.

I'm DONE with studios SHITTING ON THE FANS AND KILLING IPS WE LOVE.

@NestLabs3D Really shouldn't stick my dick in there... However

[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.

@BaronDestructo @Polygon You are expecting quality commentary... from Polygon?

@_IvaraXIV Seeing this one getting knocked up is always delicious. Anon has excellent taste.

[Every Stargate ᐰtlantis Frame in Order ᐰ @EverySGAFrame]

The Expanse went through this with Syfy and the fan backlash was so great, they managed to be picked up by #Amazon and continue the series for another 3 seasons.

If the fan backlash is big enough, they will listen. Get #Stargate trending, let #Amazon know how you feel.

We want what @BaronDestructo and Mr. Gero and everyone involved with the original deal, to be back on the table, and get a green light to start filming, with no oversight or input from your studios and your execs.

The hate train will continue until @AmazonMGMStudio rescinds their stupidity or releases the Stargate rights for fans to save the series.

RELEASE THE RIGHTS OR RELEASE A GOOD STARGATE

[Jack O'Neill @Jack2LOneill]

NEW DEMAND TO @AmazonMGMStudio

Pick an option
1) Let the Stargate creators make a new show

2) Release the rights so fans can do it

Choosing anything else is selfish and a waste

[Merak @MerakBashee]

What the fuck.

[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.

[Merak @MerakBashee]

@BaronDestructo @DragonSoul Why have the rights and NOT do something with it? That's wild, man. Breaks my heart. My sympathies for the production crew.

🚨 Ronaldo Nazário (R9) on who is better: himself or Cristiano Ronaldo:

"People often compare us because we are both named Ronaldo, but our careers were very different.

I won the World Cup, and that is something nobody can take away from me. But football greatness is not decided by one tournament alone. It is measured by the impact you leave on the game."

"When Cristiano started his career, Portugal was not considered one of football's traditional superpowers like Brazil, Argentina, France, Germany, or Spain. Those countries had generations of world-class players and a long history of winning major trophies."

"Cristiano changed that. He became the face of Portuguese football and led his country to trophies that many people never believed Portugal could win. An entire generation of Portuguese players grew up inspired by him and dreamed of playing at the highest level in Europe because of what he achieved."

"At my best, I believe I had abilities that very few players in history possessed. But Cristiano's longevity, discipline, mentality, and achievements over more than twenty years are extraordinary."
