Amazon axing the new STARGATE series because it was supposedly too niche is such a frustrating executive decision.

This is STARGATE.

The original movie launched in 1994. STARGATE SG-1 ran for 10 seasons. STARGATE ATLANTIS ran for five more. Fans have kept this franchise alive for decades.

Martin Gero, who wrote on SG-1 and ATLANTIS, was developing the new series. Brad Wright and Joe Mallozzi were consulting producers.

People who understood the franchise were involved.

And Amazon apparently got nervous that the show would appeal too much to STARGATE fans.

That is insane.

Die-hard fans are not the problem. They are the bridge.

They tell friends to watch. They explain the premise. They build word of mouth before casual audiences ever show up.

Studios keep wanting legacy IP without the people who actually love it.

But that “baggage” is the audience.

STARGATE does not need to be sanded down for everyone.

It needs to be good enough that fans bring everyone else in.

@Variety @AmazonMGMStudio

I'm angry, and disappointed

[UltraMarginal @Ultra_Marginal]

@MikeSibertRadio Yea, me too.
But I'm 5 on the inside

[UltraMarginal @Ultra_Marginal]

@MikeSibertRadio @CobraEagle42 Lol, that's what old people say. 😉🫠

[UltraMarginal @Ultra_Marginal]

@MikeSibertRadio @CobraEagle42 At some point I'm going to see it, I'll probably miss the cinema. We generally only go with the kids these days.

I saw D&D at home and really enjoyed it. It could easily have a couple sequels.

@ToyboxSoapbox At the time I was only collecting one of each mould. I passed on Straxus, not knowing the character, but also not liking the idea of a blue half track.

It paid off with Skullgrin, but retrospectively i wouldn't mind the Straxus as well.

@D_Maximus_Prime Should have been a proper F-35 toy

[UltraMarginal @Ultra_Marginal]

@ToyboxSoapbox I have heard that it has brownish gold plastic syndrome.

It's very good looking as the Falcon.
That whole line had great vehicle modes

[UltraMarginal @Ultra_Marginal]

@PrimalSabbath @SixoTF That's cool, a rare opportunity, well capitalised on.

Nice photos too!

[UltraMarginal @Ultra_Marginal]

@SixoTF @Apsie3 I don't think I've ever seen any of these in person. I have the MP star saber, as I understand the mechanism was different.

@Hasbro

Next year is the 20th anniversary of #transformers animated.

What are the odds of a region free high definition Bluray release?

If not region free, then available in Australia.
And everywhere else.

[UltraMarginal @Ultra_Marginal]

@SixoTF @tfwiki I reckon Beast wars probably had the most varied international branding of any transformers series.
So many sub brands with the same main packaging.

I'm pretty sure even animorphs had some beast wars style packaging here. It was some time ago, I might be misremembering

[UltraMarginal @Ultra_Marginal]

@SixoTF Interesting.
I've never really collected Beast Wars.
I wonder what was on the Australian packaging back in the day. It definitely wasn't on the reissues that came out in the last couple of years.

@SuccyBankz This was a great Hulk , and an underrated movie

[UltraMarginal @Ultra_Marginal]

@SanctumScoops I was wondering, I'm OK with that.
