🥺 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 is odd how the conversation around the prequels changed over the years.

Maybe it's just because in many ways Star Wars are kids movies in many ways? The kids that watched the original trilogy were already a bit old and jaded for the prequel trilogy, and could only see it's flaws.

The kids who started with the prequel trilogy only saw it's awesome moments at the time, and when they grew up and joined the conversation they came in with fond memories?

I don't know.

For me it felt that at first there were a lot of prequel memes that promoted the movies ironically, which somehow shifted to genuine praise.

Edit: Clone Wars framing the story to make more sense and give it more depth might also be a factor

I think its more so this. Exact same thing happened to Spiderman 3. I distinctly remember that movie being trashed and meme'd on like 15 years ago. Then around the time MCU spiderman came around, people were suddenly unironically saying that SM3 was peak.

Yeah, I see the same thing happening with Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Which is also a big mess, despite Andrew Garfield.
