So will Prime use this freed up budget to fund some decent programming, or will they just throw it at another big budget Bezos money pit project like the Lord of The Rings tv show and that awful Citadel tv universe?

My prediction: This is being sacrificed to pay for a Bond 007 tentpole show that won’t be any good.

Meanwhile Amazon owns the rights to Stargate and does nothing with it.

I have a sneaking suspicion amazon picked up wheel of time only because they wanted to fill a high fantasy slot in the portfolio. Now they have rings of power with built in IP recognition, typical executive brain will put focus there instead.
