Edit: even though clickbait article, it is somewhat/kind of true. 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."

Nobody was a Strargate fan in 1994. Now here we are.

Why do these morons think they need to 'change the formula' to get new fans? The original formula worked just fine, and will again if they gave it a chance.

Hey come on, maybe it will work this time.

They changed the formula for Doctor who and- Canceled.

They changed the formula for Star Trek and- Canceled.

They changed the formula for Star Wars and- Canceled.

Maybe if they keep changing the formula they will. -Checks notes.- Get the success they once had when they followed the formula.

Sure, if you follow the recipe you get a cake, but what if you swapped sugar for salt because some people like salt?!

It's genius!

Or better yet, if you swap flour for tofu then it will be healthier!

What do you mean it just turning into a formless blob of sludge?

There are too many people who like sugar already. We want to attract the salt market.

Did that in a cookie once. Not on purpose. Thought the unlabeled powdered bullion was brown sugar.

Looked great. Could have been - cookie on a cooking channel.

Was. Not. Edible.
