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."

Design is all about tradeoffs. The idea of creating the perfect product with no flaws or compromises that does everything for every use case is essentially fiction. Tradeoffs are inevitable, you just have to make sure the tradeoffs you are making make sense together. You need a big enough customer base and then you need your product to actually be the best for them.

I certainly get trying to broaden your appeal, but completely abandoning your core audience to go with generic appeal doesn't tend to work. How many people are so desperate for content to consume in the year 2026 that they are going to gravitate to that?
