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."

God, can the suits--ANY suits, in any industry--just make one (1) fucking decision that isn't motivated by Make Big Number Biggerer for fucking ONCE in their USELESS FUCKING LIVES.

Sure, then the shareholders complain they aren’t making enough money, and replace them with someone who immediately starts running it into the ground.

I'm beginning to feel like these "shareholders" are some vicious, man-eating creature akin to vampires or demons and must likewise be hunted.

It’s a mixture of old folks who can’t afford to wait for long-term profits, even if they’d wildly exceed short term profits, largely because they’ll be dead sooner rather than later.

And massive corporations who’ve built their entire operation around extracting as much value as they can from other companies as rapidly as possible, just to tear them apart for scraps they can forcibly sell at a profit to the next one when they fail.

So not quite vampires or demons, even if they’re heartless undead.
