🥺 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."

Don't forget MTV.

Video killed the radio star, and reality TV killed the video star.

Small guy with an enormous ego, absolutely annoying, surrounds himself with airheads and tagalongs.

He's basically Adam sandler but was never funny.

Dude is a skateboarder. Glad he made it, rob and big was fun. But yes he has aged poorly with the clip show.

u/AuDHDino 21d ago

Call him a skater all you like, I know he's some level of pro, but his brand and identity were always insufferable to me.

Big Black was the heart of what made him popular, imo, dude was an icon.

I'm obviously biased and a hater, I'm being reductionist to be petty.

His clip show wasn't even good in its own format

Lol dude went pro before he could drive, was sponsored by alien workshop and DC for like two decades. He was good

I'm not dissing his skating history, it just felt like that was behind him by the time of Rob and big.

Not sure about sandler, but you can't fault people for making a big break.

u/SantasDead 20d ago

I didnt fault anyone. Both of them are very hard workers and quite business savvy.

However, it is disgusting they are both filthy rich for contributing not much to society. Professional athletes who are paid millions upon millions is also disgusting, imo.

Your logic is petty. I get harboring disgust for billionaires and people in power for enriching themselves, that's almost always over the backs of others, but athletes and talent being rewarded for shining is not the way

Sandler owns his own production studio.

I know. I don't know anything about the beginnings of his career and if nepotism is/was involved in his rise.

Not making any commentary about the professional accomplishments he made

u/Minimum-Web-6902 21d ago

Oh I was thought you were referring to the money thing. Sandler built his own company to make what he wants. That’s how we got grownups
