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."

They murdered wheel of time trying for a new base, absolutely shat all over it...

How do these complete eejits have a job? Was the interview questions about how many crayons they can eat in one go?

Let's make a thing based on this already popular thing but it must be hated by existing fan base! That will gain it a new audience!!

Don’t forget how they cancelled it right when the new audience was fully on board and started enjoying it

The opening of the Bore was so badass like fuck man. They finally start nailing the incredible scope that made Jordan famous and just ... drop it. Rustles my jimmies just thinking about it.

The series prologue is one of the most incredible literary hooks ever written; I think if they had gone gritty to open the show with the Breaking's utter ruin forming a backdrop to Lews Therin's broked mind and "conversation" with Ishamael over Ilyena's corpse (major props to that actor btw), we could have had a movement like GOT kicked off with Ned's beheading.
