For a genre that has really high budgets due to all the SFX? I get that the competition isn't great, but really?Hasbro owns Dark•Matter. Cryptids and anomalies and stuff are really popular on the internet. A DM tv show could play off that. Being set in modern times would save money on SFX. They could set it in the 80s or 90s to keep playing off that nostalgia and the analogue horror genre. Since the Hofman Institute is dedicated to science, they could introduce Nikolai Tesla and Lewis Latimer as famous agents to play off that internet popularity. The sandmen let them play off nostalgia for Star Trek because they're basically borg. There's tons of material that could be updated, like tying in the Final Church to the modern political dynasties like that one movie with Samara Weaving trying to escape satanists.Or, idk, a Star*Drive+Star Frontiers anthology series to compete with Star Trek and Star Wars. You could include pastiches of 90s and 2000s scifi, such as a crew including a Borealian archaeologist named Jackson, an Orlamu astronaut named Crichton, and a Thuldan warlion named Anasazi. (Man, I feel old.) Considering those franchises have all been mismanaged into oblivion, Hasbro is poised to claim the entire scifi market if they wanted to.But of course I can't expect that level of competence from a company that keeps botching the management of My Little Pony and Transformers.</blockquote>
