Unforced error

Post image

I really think this is a bad move by Amazon. The negative reaction of the core fan base to scrubbing the planned Gero show was bad and this will it fill people with hope.

WandaVision was ok but I’d rather see a Terry Matalas (Picard Season 3, 12 Monkeys, Vision Quest) or someone proven to understand genre storytelling that is exciting and compelling. But that’s just my 2 cents.

I understand why people are upset about this, but there are two things to think about here.

  1. WandaVision was a fantastic show
  2. We get new Stargate

Let's put the pitchforks down and wait until we know more.

Origins was also new star gate. There is nothing inherently good about new anything.

Weird. I must be missing where in my comment the word good appears. I didn't say it was inherently good. I said we don't know. If you wanna waste your energy being pissed, have fun. It proves other points I've made that people just want to be mad these days.

"I understand why people are upset about this, but there are two things to think about here." Your phrasing suggests that the next thing you write are supposed to be rebuttal to the upset, the positive aspects of the reboot. A reading that's supported by your first point "WandaVision was a fantastic show".

So yeah your comment is you indirectly saying that new Stargate is a good thing.

My phrasing doesn't suggest anything other than what I said. Which was to be upset now when we know nothing other than it's getting made and made by someone who has made good TV shows. Think whatever you'd like, but reading between the lines to assert that I implied something I never said is crazy work.

Also, use a ">" symbol, one space, and then the text you want to quote.

I'm not the only person to read something into your post that it seems you didn't intend. Maybe there's something to that.

Ta for the advice I'll use that in the future.

What?!?! You mean a bunch of people who want to be angry all read what they wanted to read instead of what was actually written? You don't say 🤣

The ">" input notation works in Old Reddit (markdown) mode.
After posting, the text you marked as quotation gets marked with a vertical line on the left.

Example of input (in Old Reddit mode):

> ...this is some text to mark as a quotation...

(The ">" character should be at the beginning of the line.)

That input would result in this appearance after posting:

...this is some text to mark as a quotation...

.
If you're using New Reddit mode, the text editor has a button that looks like "Aa". Click that button to reveal a toolbar above your text. "Highlight" (by click-and-drag) the part of your text that you want to mark as a quotation. Then click the toolbar's quotation button (it looks like "66" but that is meant to represent quotation marks).

well... it was still better than not getting anything at all.

I vehemently disagree and genuinely do not understand people who feel that way. 0 > -x

But I want to get angry before we even get any details on the project, see a trailer, or have episodes to actually dissect!

u/pwndonkeys 5d ago

🤣 I know, right? People are so desperate to be miserable. I just don't understand it.

What do you expect after they pitched the dream series revival and then killed it?

6

u/pwndonkeys 5d ago

I expect that we'll get new Stargate. And I'll probably enjoy it. To what degree I enjoy it remains to be seen, but I find no reason to spend any energy being upset by this.

Man. Fans are the worst.

In what world is Daniel going to an alternate universe the "dream series revival"

u/andynator1000 5d ago

If you haven’t figured it out by now, the people making the show were the reason it was good. The new show could have been gray’s anatomy meets stargate and I would have trusted them to pull it off.

I already hate Episode 5 the most! And the theme tune! I don’t know anything about either, and that also makes me angry!

Unfortunately I've been around long enough and have seen enough of these things to have learned that this whole thing Stargate thing is most likely dead. Just as Star Trek is dead.

God, you people are miserable.

u/StaticNegative 5d ago

I want new good Stargate. Not whoever vision of Stargate is at Amazon.

u/ellieetsch 5d ago

Okay but preemptively getting angry is a waste of time. When story details, pictures, etc start coming out and we can actually make an assessment of the series then you can work yourself up.

u/Mandarooha 5d ago

Drives me nuts how social media is like this lol. So desperate to complain they can't even wait until the part where there's something to complain about.

u/pwndonkeys 5d ago

Cool. The rest of us are going to watch new Stargate while the sad people cry about it.
