@AnActorExplains@StargateZone@UKChange The problem is Amazon has all but promised to make the woke(r) Stargate they apparently wanted. Whatever problems this series may have had the one they will wind up making next is going to be worse.
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
@0xDEADBEEFCAFE@WardoftheStates Stargate doesn't take itself too seriously on the moralizing. If that's what you want Star Trek is readily available. Stargate just wants to blow shit up and make jokes along the way, with Daniel there to remind you how horrifically immoral many of the decisions they make are.
@flir1040@WardoftheStates If not it has to be close. The entire Stargate Franchise heavily features real military firearms especially more obscure ones. If the FNP90 could be sold legally in the stock configuration shown in Stargate it would sell like hotcakes too.
This is absolutely correct.
I’ve been checking the engagement to my posts and the replies to large accounts and Stargate creators.
And it is bipartisan, multicultural, has both sexes, different lifestyles, and ages.
There is a BROAD social demographic of Stargate fans.
"They canceled it because it would appeal to Stargate fans" AND THAT WASN'T ENOUGH.
The Stargate cancelation is a full mask off moment for modern TV, and this is why everyone should care.
It's indicative of why all of our series keep getting screwed up.
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
Ancient human cultures would be difficult given the setting but it certainly could have benefited from more alien cultures especially early on. The focus on interpersonal drama was WAY too heavy too. That said the show had a lot of potential that it (started) to develop right as it got canceled.
@marten_sorby@Dank_Starkiller I like the idea that they were prototyping some imperial designs around this time, but definitely no largescale deployments. I also think the Victory fits this role, not the ISD.
Let's recap the Stargate timeline
-They greenlight it with the OG creators
-It's quietly canceled
-It ISN'T canceled cuz of budget
-It ISN'T canceled cuz the OG crew left
-But IS too fan focused
-AND they still may make a modern Stargate
TLDR: A MASSIVE SLAP IN THE FACE
@m3tr0n01d@SCShipyards They are still going to make a series. They're basically just canning all of the showrunners (who were all part of the original series) and replacing them with people off the street with zero affection for the franchise and starting over. This is far worse.
@tweetingmatty@AmazonMGMStudio@martingero@BaronDestructo Not just that it's about the only thing you could get an American, a Canadian, and European to all say nice things about anymore. Stargate by nature appealed to probably the broadest spectrum of people possible.
