There is a difference between saving a show and saving a franchise. The Star Trek movies saved the franchise which lead to TNG, DS9 and Voyager, they didn’t save the original series tho. I only hope is that they won’t turn Stargate into Discovery like show.

This purchase should be illegal yesterday
Monopolists are going to downvote you, but they're wrong. These megacorps shouldn't be allowed to enter fifteen different industries and kill off the incumbents. This is absurd. Amazon is internet services infra, shopping, logistics, fulfillment, consumer hardware, networking, a payments stack, publisher, grocery store, and now a fucking entertainment company. They track us, turn us into non-owner subscribers, and pr…
Amazon tends to beat the creative parts out of the companies they buy. I bet it's related to the financial efficiencies they apply to them. Creativity is expensive without any guaranteed return. Most of the new prime video content, that I've seen, seems to have a very safe tone to it. Yes, it's new but it's safe. No one will be surprised or insulted by it. It starts to get boring very quickly. As new owners, I hope t…
The Boys? Invincible? Fleabag? Transparent? Marvelous Mrs. Maisel? The Expanse? I disagree with your premise entirely. I see them trying to unseat HBO as the resource for all the pop culture shows you remember twenty years from now. I definitely believe them to be bolder than Netflix for their breadth of original libraries. That might be a little bold, but that’s what I see them trying to do.

Some of the Prime content (my point of view is as a consumer in India), seems to bank on portraying sex / sexuality in a more open manner (depictions of sexual acts, topless scenes, etc). Feels like there is a certain degree of planning to "exploit" this type of media, considering Indian society and media itself is fairly conservative.

It is worth noting that major studios (or the BBC in Fleabag's case) make all of those shows and Amazon buys them.
But I still agree with the general point that it's unfair to argue Amazon "beats the creativity" out of productions it deals with.
I just want Jeff bezos to save Stargate like he saved the expanse. I can only hope that Amazon will protect The Stargate franchise from coming to the same fate as Star wars and Star trek.
It started off cheesy, but the universe they built was so detailed and neat.
I'm definitely hoping Amazon buys them out and greenlights Stargate.
