Amazon kills “Stargate” show made by original producers, may hand it to someone who would "give it a fresh new perspective"

The show was first announced with a series order in November 2025. It hailed from writer, executive producer, and showrunner Martin Gero, who was a writer on 'Stargate SG-1' and 'Stargate: Atlantis' early in his career.

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.

Still seeking that elusive mOdErn aUdiEnce! Instead, Amazon is thinking of handing the series to "someone who does not have history with it and would give it a fresh new perspective."

Your guesses as to who will play the characters?

It’s all about “THE MESSAGE!”

It’s being done in the UK. That might be the problem:

“The decision to pull the plug came late in the process — I hear the show had completed a 20-week writers room and was in pre-production in the UK.”

From the article: ...someone who does not have history with it and would give it a fresh new perspective...

Translation: someone who would violate all previous storylines, make unimportant characters major ones, make strong characters weak, and spread woke filth throughout the whole thing.

Which means queers and trannies line up for parts. No whites aloud unless overridden by faggotry.

I suggest a crossover, integrating the popular relatively recent franchise of "Mummy" movies, since the whole of ancient Egyptian civilization was claimed to have originated due to meddling by some evil alien dingbat.

A transgender perspective, of course.

Too bad - I enjoyed Stargate SG-1 when it was on about 20 years ago A reboot by the original showrunners and producers would have been worth watching. But nothing Amazon makes on its own is worth a damn - I know they're busy desecrating Tolkien's world and while Stargate isn't nearly as important to me as Tolkien, I have no intention of watching any DEI version of Stargate that Amazon pukes up either.

Of course they'll ruin the franchise. The original was the best. Now they'll have some woke actress using the Stargate to frolic on a planet with black Nubian lesbians, who will be brought to Earth to "teach" white Earthlings "truth".

“Fresh new perspective”.....for “modern audiences” no doubt. That means the lead characters will need to be Black, nose ringed, purple haired, transgender, vegetarian, communists. They’ll visit alien worlds inhabited by evil White Men whom they will need to overcome every week.

Beyond doubt.

The Stargate "Universe" series already had homosexual themes throughout.

In addition to homosexual characters, the series had characters using pairs of magic stones that allowed users to swap minds into each other's bodies - which then of course had same sex coupling, well ...because Hollywood.

Might be the problem there - not enough writers with blue hair and pig rings in their noses. You have to have "representation" these days.

I want Amazon executives to look and study the poor reception to The Acolyte, Star Trek Academy, and Willow. Don’t do this and rehire Martin Gero.

The original shows were Canadian.

I was not paying attention in 2022, because I only recently discovered Amazon took over (merged with???) Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM). As if that industry and the economy could not do well unless the behemoth Amazon was running another country.

We have the original series on DVD and are slowly working our way through it. I don’t know what a “fresh new perspective” would add to it.

Can anyone come up with an original idea? Does everything have to be a reboot?
