- The ‘Save the Wheel of Time’ fans campaign is about to reach some key milestones
- The organizers plan to fly a plane and a banner on the Sony Pictures central offices
- The main video program was canceled after three seasons at the end of May.
Fan pressure continues in the amount of Amazon and Sony after The Time Wheel It was eliminated at the end of May.
Before the High Fantasy Show was canceled after three seasons, its devoted fans base had asked the series production studies not only to renew not only The Time Wheel For a fourth season, but also be sure to tell your full story. Those calls arrived hot after The Time WheelThe cast that told me that they were “safe” during their renewal of season 4. Unfortunately for all involved, the original Amazon TV was canned shortly after.
However, the faithful audience of the first level videos show has refused to throw in the towel. In the weeks after their cancellation, a fans campaign of ‘Save the Wheel of Time’ was organized after the spectators decided to channel their frustration in something more positive. That is, the pressure of relentless fans to force a U turning on the premature end of the program.
The first three weeks of the campaign have also been productive. At the time of publication, more than 174, 600 people have signed an online petition. Also raised almost $ 33,000 through the Gofundme page of the campaign, donations that have allowed the organizers to buy a billboard on Times Square, New York in early June to promote the movement directed by fans.
Things don’t stop there either. In the next few days (June 18 to 20), digital and static advertising fences in New York, Los Angeles, London and Sao Paulo will show messages from the initiative led by fans. A plane will fly a Savewot banner on the central offices of Sony Pictures and Amazon MGM Studios in Culver City, California, between 12 pm and 2:30 pm PT tomorrow (Tuesday, June 17) as well.
In a statement that accompanies the last press release of the campaign, a spokesman said: “We are really impressed by the overall legion of fans who donated to our fundraising! Due to their generosity, we can take our message to the next level with Billboards and an elevated step.
Opinion: Is a brave effort, but will the U -turning conjure that fans of the time wheel yearn?
You can’t deny that The Time WheelThe legion of fans is doing everything possible to convince study executives that it was discarded before their hour.
Few other fans campaigns have been so persistent in their search to achieve their goal. In fact, there are only two that immediately come to mind. The first is the online campaign that led to the eventual launch of Zack Snyder Justice Leaguealso known as the original cut of the director of his final superhero film, in Max in mid -2012. The other is the next continuation of Warrior nun‘s of history, although by a Warrior nun Film trilogy that has not yet arrived: after the cancellation of the Netflix program after two seasons in August 2023. There is a precedent, then, for long -term fans campaigns to achieve their goals.
However, the problem that faces ‘saving the wheel of time’ is double: one, will the organizers have patience, resources and energy to maintain this level of concerted pressure? And, two, will Amazon and Sony listen?
If one of the best main video programs is to return from the dead, you will need the answers to both questions to be a resounding “yes.” Otherwise, the third season of the series, which, as I noticed in me The Time Wheel The revision of season 3, is the best entry of the series, will mark the end of the road for this magical fans campaign.
