A PEEK BEHIND THE CURTAIN at Amazon and why they are their treating STARGATE fans with apathy...
#SaveStargate
Nick Cage recently did a Spider-Noir interview where he talked about what he had to go through to get his streaming show green lit be Jen Salke stepped down as head of Amazon MGM studios. He and a bunch of Amazon decision makers went to dinner at her house, and he had to overwhelmingly convince her that younger audiences would watch.
He wanted to do it in Black and White, but offered color as an option as well so the kids could watch it in color then come over to Black and white. I mean. How many multi verse Spiderman fans are there... yes, mostly an older audience. Even Nick Cage had to get on his knees at the alter of the "younger audience."
Star Trek (Paramount), Star Wars (Disney) Stargate (Amazon) ALL TOTALLY OBSESSED with younger audience retention even as a Cash Loss Falicy... meaning they don't care if they lose money if it means in 5 to 10 years they have captured the next generation.
BUT WHY?
Because Netflix and Apple are kicking their asses. Sure Amazon has a ton of money, but they don't have Netflix eyeballs. Netflix dominates 15 to 35 ages. And have you wondered why APPLE doesn't seem to care. They just keep making great television that the older PAYING audiences are drawn to? Because they already OWN the youth through iPhones, and they aren't worried about the future. They can afford to wait for younger audiences who will never leave their devices and Apple IDs to catch up with great streaming.
Amazon and other studios hell bent on chasing the youth at the expense of current paying audiences will lose. See Paramount and Disney for references. The paying fans are here and now
@AmazonMGMStudio and we want Stargate with Martin Gero. Make the right decision. Don't sacrifice the now for the future when you can let us lead the youth to you!
