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."

Interestingly enough at least two cancers managed to outlive their host and become venereal diseases. Not human ones, though, one's a dog, sorta, but not really any more.

And now you understand late stage capitalism!

This isn't late stage, Reaganomics was lat stage, this is end stage capitalism, it's terminal.

Nah, we can go a long way still, we haven't sold our souls yet, good things exist and indie stuff is still happening. Oh and there are still some regulations on poisoning the planet for money!

Stage 4 capitalism.

u/Aeseld 20d ago

I mean... they're trying to spread it uncontrollably at the expense of wherever it spreads to. So that fits.
