"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.

Anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2019... what's the one game you still think about? 🤔

@sugabelly 1. They're two different franchises
2. Indy was first

[Jon Del Arroz | Pop Culture & Gaming 🎮 @jondelarroz]

The way the Stargate creatives treat the fans well is such a stark contrast to the way the Star Trek creatives give us the middle finger.

What caused this difference you think?

My quote below sums up how stupid Amazon is being about Star Gate. I'm quoted in Fandom Pulse and it sums it up well. Of course if Amazon did it now, they'd screw it up out of spite and gall.

Thought people might like my thoughts on the fiasco so quote-posting for y'all's reading pleasure.

Re: the community note - Bruce Shelley helped create the idea of Age of Empires, but Rick Goodman was the lead designer. I contributed massively to the expansion and sequels. (And of course I'm not the "creator" of Doom but I was a major contributor.)

@ChrisBrooks2401 @Phaet0nn @jondelarroz LOL Star Wars, Trek, and MCU are all in shambles

Yeah because that doesn't look goofy at all

[Sigma Malewife @SquidMechanicus]

Where practical Clones really fall apart is when you put them in motion.

They feel way too stiff to the point where it just looks goofy whereas CGI/mocapped Clones were doing this:

@virtualhistoria @jondelarroz Teyla was great too

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?

@CathyYoung63 In 1995 1/3 of the population wasn't here illegally

@MrTooty2 @FanOfUzakiChan People keep growing as they get older and then eventually start shrinking so no they won't

[AJ M @NotRecomde]

@ELMOLOVER71 @MrTooty2 @FanOfUzakiChan Age plays into it also. Younger ones haven't finished growing yet, older ones have started shrinking.

@NikTek Every time one of you brings up a beloved game with a female protagonist you just disprove your own argument a little more and it's hilarious

[AJ M @NotRecomde]

@Andywarski Kratos losing his wife was the catalyst for the whole Norse saga. Making her the new main character undermines that because now she's not gone. Imagine a Batman game where you play as Thomas Wayne. Dumb.

@WattusMaximus That's clearly the Doci

[AJ M @NotRecomde]

Anyone else notice the guy who canceled Stargate looks kinda familiar?

[Jon Del Arroz | Pop Culture & Gaming 🎮 @jondelarroz]

This is the guy responsible for canceling Stargate. His name is Blair Fetter. He came from Netflix.

[David "Stargate Genius Leader" Hewlett @dhewlett]

Fair.
