IT'S NOT TOO LATE -- @PrimeVideo and PETER FRIEDLANDER... Put STARGATE with MARTIN GERO back in Production! Our Fandom will make up the foundation of a new generation of this franchise by honoring what came before BUT bringing in newer audiences. Don't make the same mistakes Paramount and Disney have made with Star Trek and Star Wars. They failed by leaving out the fan base! WE ARE YOUR STRENGTH! #SaveStargate

#savestargate We will forgive you if you change your decision @AmazonMGMStudio @PrimeVideo

[Jon Del Arroz | Sci-Fi And Fantasy @jondelarroz]

Last night watched SG-1's first episode sharing with my wife who's never seen it before.

She enjoyed it.

I let her know she has 17 more seasons. Hopefully we can make that 18 by the time she's caught up. #SaveStargate

[Gatefan @Gatefan1661]

Yes, we did. And it'll only stop when you give Martin Gero and his team their Stargate show back.

Your move @AmazonMGMStudio

SG-1 actor Michael Shanks urges fans to participate in a tweet storm to Save Stargate today:

"It starts at 1pm West Coast time, and all who participate should use the hashtag #SaveStargate."

Are you doing your part?

[Stargate Fans United (#SaveStargate) @SGFansUnited]

Hey @AmazonMGMStudio, @PrimeVideo, and @JeffBezos. Do you see how passionate Stargate fans are? ⤵️⤵️

We've been fighting for years to bring back Stargate, and we're way stronger in numbers and spirit than anyone realizes.

All you have to do is re-greenlight Martin Gero's Stargate show... and all these millions of fans will have your back again! #SaveStargate

[Stargate Now Europe @StargateNow_EU]

Two years of development.
One greenlight.
One disappointing decision.

Please reconsider Martin Gero's Stargate project.

Amazon thinks the new #Stargate is too much aimed at fans.

But a fresh, faithful continuation that respects the past would create real heart and depth, exactly what attracts new viewers. That's a gift, not a curse.

Let Martin Gero finish what he started!

Stargate was cancelled because the fans would have liked it. The most bizarre reason in history. https://t.co/X8BBu4rxGn

It’s one means of many to get some attention to this. #stargate

[Emerald Apple @AI_EmeraldApple]

There is more to the story behind the reason why the Stargate show on Amazon was cancelled.

The original greenlighters at Amazon, Nick Pepper and Matt King, who liked Martin Gero's work that respected the Stargate lore, have been moved, let go, or restructured under a new Amazon MGM studio leadership.

Under the new leadership with Peter Friedlander, who is an ex-Netflix head of U.S. and Canada scripted division, and Blair Fetter, a Netflix vet who ran “spectacle series”, they shifted focus towards maximum broad and global appeal for expensive worldbuilding shows.

They want more shows like Stranger Things, 3 Body Problem, Ozark, etc, which were massive hits, and any new shows must have broad appeal, where they must convincingly bring in new viewers, not just satisfy existing fans.

There is an age-old saying... A product made for everyone is made for no one. These execs don't understand that their success came during a time of a massive global crisis, and pretty much any decent show gets massive ratings due to the forcibly captive audience. COVID really gassed up a lot of execs into thinking they are geniuses when the reality is that these numbers were never going to be repeated again.

What this will likely do is cause Amazon to burn massive amounts of funds for "modern audience-wide appeal" flops that interest no one and offend no one.

And yet, even under this new regime, it is still greenlighting more of Rings of Power despite its underperformance. The chase for "inoffensive broad appeal" is going to bite them in the butt.

The sad part is... a lore-accurate Stargate show was in the works, but because it didn't have enough modern audience broad appeal, they axed it under the new leadership.

Joe Mallozzi, a long-time SG1 showrunner said, "It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family.”

By all accounts, it sounded like it would have been a good show, but we'll never see it... not at least from the "new" Amazon.

[Jack O'Neill @Jack2LOneill]

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

[Fandom Pulse @fandompulse]

Stargate fans have started a petition to save the new show on Change dot org.

In less than 24 hours, it already has about as many signatures than the Starfleet Academy one, which has been going for several months with mainstream media support.

Have you signed it yet?

[Michael Shanks @MichaelShanks]

Call @AmazonMGMStudio ask for “Blair Fetter”

[David Zorkocy @DavidZorkocy]

Dear @AmazonMGMStudio my name is David. I am gay and therefore I am apparently your entire target audience. So as a sacred cow of all media, I wanted to say… please uncancel the Stargate show from @martingero @bradtravelers and @BaronDestructo

Stargate already has universal appeal. The franchise had 17 seasons in the most cutthroat era of television. Since that time the fandom has done nothing but grow!

If every Stargate fan tuned in, you’d have one of the biggest shows on streaming. It is offensive that you allegedly consider us to be inadequate and not a built in benefit.

Please reconsider your decision and allow this show to continue. The fandom is here to either empower you or resist you. The relationship you want to have with the fans of this massive franchise is entirely up to you.

[Stargate Fans United (#SaveStargate) @SGFansUnited]

It’s time for the #Stargate family to rally around @martingero @BaronDestructo @bradtravelers and support their show.

@AmazonMGMStudio can’t be allowed to get away with this tragic mistake. #SaveStargate
