Amazon’s Insane Reason for CANCELLING Stargate

Amazon bought MGM for billions, gaining access to one of the most successful science fiction franchises ever created: Stargate. So why does it feel like modern streaming companies struggle to understand what made Stargate successful in the first place? In this video I break down the blueprint behind Stargate's success, from its ensemble cast and exploration format to its world-building, humour, and long-term audience loyalty. More importantly, I look at why modern corporate thinking may be completely incompatible with the very formula that made Stargate work. Was Stargate cancelled because it couldn't succeed? Or because the industry no longer knows how to make shows like it? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
