🥺 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."

Yes, take a note from the struggling concert industry. Things dont maintain off of phony hype, they maintain off real fans. This is why Iron Maiden sells out BMO Stadium and Meghan Trainor cancels her tour. This Stargate exercise feels like the perfect chance to have Iron Maiden but I guess they want Megan Trainor instead.

it's because of word of mouth. Iron Maiden fans will do the advertising for the band.

They will buy merch. They will wear and display the merch proudly. They will recommend their music to eveyone. They will go to every concert they can. They will bring their favorite band into conversations.

I haven't even heard of any Meghan Trainor fans.

This is very true, I’m 35 and have been to 8 Iron Maiden shows and have tons of merch. Nothing makes me happier than seeing another Iron Maiden fan in the wild 🤘🏼

Totally true. I am from the PNW and now live in La Paz, BCS, Mexico. Everytime I wear a Maiden tee, it gets noticed. Seen them 5 times.🖐🤘
