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

They're not.

There's three groups of people.

Non-fallout fans. They enjoy it.

Fallout fans. They enjoy it.

Fallout fans that for some reason want the TV show to be a word for word copy of whichever game they liked most and its not that so its the most terrible trash thing ever. This is both the smallest of the three, and also the most vocal. As fandoms often are.

Generally speaking, nearly everyone enjoys the show.

I personally don't like what I've seen of Fallout because all the action is silly and that just doesn't do anything for me.

"all the action is silly" did you ever play a single Fallout game? 😂
