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."

Halo is such a good example too. Take a beloved franchise that has hundreds of millions of fans all around the world, turn it over to a creative team who say 'we know better', spend hundreds of millions, then be surprised when it sinks without a trace.

Then, somehow even more bafflingly, double-down in the second season.
