Stargate’s secret sauce isn’t high-budget CGI; it’s the optimism, the relatable present-day sci-fi, and the team chemistry. Discarding franchise veterans who understand that DNA to chase a hypothetical broader demographic is incredibly risky. Listen to the fans! 🌌 #SaveStargate
Had a interesting convo with Gemini on why @AmazonPrime & @AmazonMGMStudio pulling the plug on @martingero's #Stargate revival is such a baffling corporate move. The executive excuse that it "lacked broad appeal" completely misunderstands how to build a modern franchise. 🧵👇
Instead, Amazon wants a "fresh perspective" from outsiders. We've seen this movie before (Halo, The Witcher): it usually results in a generic, grimdark space opera wearing the show's skin. It alienates the guaranteed audience while offering nothing unique to new viewers.
I 100% agree with Darren and @GateWorld on this. This is still a two-way door reversible decision. All the data is screaming making @martingero 's series with @BaronDestructo and @bradtravelers is what 3 generations of fans want, one of those being a generation of fans who are under 20 and who have only seen the product in syndication/streaming.
@AmazonMGMStudio and @PrimeVideo need to reverse course and give Martin (and this massive fandom) a season or two to prove it. Worst case (highly unlikely), it fails and you have another two seasons worth of content that will help bridge the gap which is still a win. Best case, Martin and team prove what the fans are telling you - there is a massive gap in the market right now for clean, intelligent Stargate brand SciFi and it's the start of another multi-decade run.
This is a super easy Amazonian decision to make.. #SaveStargate
Dear Amazon: Cancelling Stargate Is Bad For Business
