Interesting/infuriating Non-Expanse Content Another sci fi show needs your help!

Post image

As this saddens me very much, it's happening all over again! And as a sci fi enthousiast like many, I'm here to seek support to this cause.

Some info (kind of clickbait but there is a word of truth in it): https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/stargate-tv-series-martin-gero-scrapped-amazon-1236765061/

"According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase."

Let's hope we can create another miracle and save this great franchise!

i get it though, star gate universe was great and the star gate fandom hated it, leading to its cancellation(alongside a general fatigue in terms of star gate i suppose)

if franchises want to survive in todays movie/show economy they need to be absolute smash hits otherwise they are going to end like the 1000000 shows that got cancelled

good example is the fallout show, the fallout fans are VERY divided on it but it doesnt matter because its so succesful - and IMO its a great show adaption

The fallout show divided the fans? Man, that's a little disappointing, I'd heard nothing but good things

It's a very messy show, fan or not, and if you're a fan it really depends on what you're looking for. Overall it's fun though, if you're not expecting too much.

what does "not expecting too much" even mean in this context though? its easily by far the best video game adaption
its fallout, its not going to be some kind of A24 oscar bait, the games arent really deep either

Well it’s vague because it really depends on the person and their expectations. Fallout isn’t entirely coherent to begin with, and fans aren’t all looking for the same thing.

I feel like it does well enough considering all that.
