If @AmazonMGMStudio tries again with someone with zero connection to the original series I'm not interested. Why would a new show that shits on the established aspects of the show appeal to the already massive Stargate fan base? Pull your heads out of your asses
As per deadline. This is so disrespectful to the fanbase. You cannot start a new show and alienate a fanbase in that process.
Have we not learnt from the last few years?
Why wouldn’t you want someone who has a history with the show??

Fifteen years without Stargate and the fanbase hasn't forgotten about it whatsoever. Don't think we'll ever forget about cancelling the show we were promised.
Amazon has pulled the plug on its new Stargate series - here’s why I think that’s the wrong move and why they need to make this show.
They need to listen to @MichaelShanks and let @martingero, @BaronDestructo and @bradtravelers cook. 🔥

@AmazonMGMStudio And there's a reason nobody trusts you right now. Bring back the Stargate under the direction of Gero and just maybe you can start earning our trust back.

Amazon thinks the new #Stargate is too much aimed at fans.
But a fresh, faithful continuation that respects the past would create real heart and depth, exactly what attracts new viewers. That's a gift, not a curse.
Let Martin Gero finish what he started!
There are a lot of hours in a weekend. Let spend them saving #Stargate. Tag @AmazonMGMStudio#SaveStargate in every post you make. Keep emailing them and calling Blair Fetter until they give us our franchise back! Let's Be Busy!! https://t.co/sdN4XIyvGd
Doom and Age of Empires creator Sandy Petersen blasts Amazon over their handling of Stargate:
"1) get handed a massively popular IP that spans 17 years of successful shows."
"2) realize it has millions of loyal fans, desperate for more. They are now in their 40s and 50s, flush with money. Eager to teach their kids & grandkids about Stargate."
"3) you could start with this. You are already three steps up the ladder to huge success. The fans will evangelize it, if you don't wreck the IP. Don't believe it? Look how the fans evangelized Battlestar Galactica after its 30 year hiatus. And the initial Dr Who reboot after 15 years."
"4) cancel the project because you want a "new take" that will eliminate all the loyal fans and turn them into bitter enemies."
"It's like an ancient Greek play about hubris."
Why are corporate execs like this?
@AmazonMGMStudio He-Man has nothing on the power of Stargate. You've destroyed one of the biggest IPs you own with a large worldwide fan base that's been growing the Fandom for years without any new content. Martin Gero's Stargate had us all excited and you canceled it because it was too Stargate
Could not agree more.
Sci-fi is not a dying genre, quite the contrary, it is attracting the increasingly important Gen Z viewers, readers, gamers (video & TT).
Excuse to kill the series, or blindly ignoring the fan base that grew up on SciFi in all its manifestations?
