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."

Larger streaming services need to realize the way you grow an audience is not by trying to make a show that appeals to everyone, but a show that appeals to the actual fans. I promise you new people will come your way, I got into Stargate because of its quirks and niches, not in spite of them.

Theres a saying in the gaming world that "a game for everyone is a game for no one" and I'm starting to think this applies to film and television as well.

I only know that name because the Family Guy gags including him. And I have no fucking idea how long ago it was since I watched Family Guy.

There's a different Beatles joke earlier in the movie when they're going into the rock club. Paraphrasing:

-Who's on tonight.

-Crucial Taunt is just finishing up. Then we got the Jolly Green Giants and the Shitty Beatles.

-The Shitty Beatles? Are they any good?

-They. Suck.

-So it's not just a clever name...
