We want @AmazonMGMStudio to #SaveStargate because these shows are magical. And not just any ol' project can capture lighting in a bottle: @MartinGero's show will bring the franchise into an exciting new era.
Don't take your foot off the gas! Tell Amazon we want Martin's Stargate.
No. This is not to protect the kids. That's a parent job, nor the government's. It's just an excuse for those who don't know any better.
This is just more data collecting, less freedoms online, more government control, and a slow path to Digital ID, which nobody wants.
Today, our government introduced new legislation to protect our kids online. Canada's Safe Social Media Act will hold social media and AI platforms accountable, make them safer, and restrict access to social media for children under 16.
More and more kids are suffering from anxiety, depression, self-harm, and exploitation. To keep our kids safe, we have to ensure that our laws keep up with technology.
🤔 The timing of this suggests 2 likely possibilities tbh 🤔
1. They tweeted this out as a feeler to see just how big and active the Stargate fanbase is
2. Someone at MGM is also a fan of the show
Regardless, reply to the tweet saying you want Stargate 😤
#SaveStargate
Folks, get ready and join in a kickoff #SaveStargate tweetstorm this Wednesday! Our French friends are leading this one, starting in 13 and a half hours.
Please use only the hashtag #SaveStargate, and let Amazon know we want Martin Gero's new Stargate series. Stargate and its fans can't be shrugged off!
Well done, gentlemen! Every Stargate fan should give this video a watch. What happened to the new Stargate show, and what can we do to #SaveStargate?
@AmazonMGMStudio, Peter Friedlander, and Mike Hopkins: it's not too late to reverse this decision and embrace fandom again!
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.
Very sad to hear that Amazon have decided not to move forward with #Stargate. I think it would have been welcomed by the fans and really feel for the writers and creatives who’ve worked on this solidly.
