Not sure what to think of this.

On one hand I hate that Gero, Mallozzi and the old gang got done dirty when they were literally weeks away from beginning production... Without them, I have serious doubts about anything new preserving the legacy, the spirit of the franchise we love.

On the other hand, Jac Schaeffer has proven to be a solid choice for delivering good shows. Both WandaVision and Agatha All Along were well executed, respectful of the origin material, and brought solid characters, character growth.

I guess it just feels like your favourite restaurant shutting down, then someone buying the place and reopening with a new crew. No matter how good a kitchen crew the new place has... it will never be the same. I think the same of Stargate without Martin and Joe.

Oh man I hope they don't go all woke and make Teal'c black.

I now you're joking but I'm worried that they might cast someone who does a bad "indeed."

Wait what happened to the original producers? I hadn't heard they weren't involved anymore

So, back in January, Amazon decided to "shake up" the MGM leadership (namely they replaced it entirely).

That came to fruition in May - and the very end of the month, right when pre-prod preparations for casting etc. were underway in the UK, Amazon announced they're cancelling the project.

I'm 100% sure it's because new leadership came in swinging dick, and found the project to be too attached to the old leadership (it got approval under them). And as usual, new management cleans house, gets rid of all the old stuff that wasn't making money yet, to replace it with their vision.

So yeah first of June was a major hit for fans.

Wandavision was all hype and Agatha All Along was beyond cringe. Utterly awful. I'm not sure why all fantasy and science fiction movies and tv have to be cgi-heavy sentimental slop these days. But this is where we are and likely where Schaeffer's Stargate will go (if it's ever made).

Sorry but your opinion dressed up as factual statements is just utterly wrong.

[–] tenebrisnox@feddit.uk 6 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you for such thoughtful agreement.

Honestly I don't know if the current production studios have it in them to make the kind of show that SG1 was. If we get 10 episode seasons and it gets canceled after 2, we may as well not have any new content.

I finally watched the movie, I fucking loved it

No need for a reboot, it needs to just be re-aired

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The show is quite different from the movie (for the better, actually).

adding it to my shortlist, thx!

Prepare for some good weeks of good story.

Wandavision was so incredibly boring. Everyone I know says the same. They must have had insanely good marketing to make anyone think it was something worth noting.
