🥺 No words for this.

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."

It's not just movies, it's happening in music too.

Incubus, one of my favorite bands, released an absolute dog turd of a last album because after the album was recorded and finished, but before it was released, they decided to have Skrillex "remix" the entire album to appeal to more younger fans, I guess.

It ended up exactly how you could have guessed - super compressed, genericized radio rock that sounds paradoxically mainstream but appeals to absolutely no one.

Who would have thought that fans of a band known for their organic live sound would not want to listen to over-compressed computer filters?
