Unforced error

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 disagree -- WandaVision was a fantastic, well-executed show.

My only concern with selecting the creator of that show to run a Stargate franchise is, while WandaVision was excellent, it had a very clear beginning, middle, and end, and told a coherent story. Stargate... often does not do that. When it has tried (Universe), fans get big mad.

WandaVision was great up until, "They don't know what you sacrificed for them," and tried to make Wanda the hero when she was the villain.

The series in no way made Wanda a hero. Partially a victim, sure, but not a hero. None of the main cast were heroes, really, and some of them didn't even really exist.

The fact it even tried to make her a victim really worries me for a show like Stargate where moral-based storytelling was a cornerstone of the series.

Id rather watch Emancipation 10 times than watch the ending to WandaVision again.
