"According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase."

So in other words it would have been good but execs gotta come in and make it shit.

As always, instead of making a show for the fans in hope that it appeals to others they want to make a show that alienates the fans and appeals to nobody.

Aka they wanted to make it yet another generic dogshit franchise that appeals to no one in the hopes everyone watches, based on absolutely nothing because that has never happened but middle manglement must try and justify their existence.
