The way the colour scheme makes me think of The Watch is just 👌👌👌
I was honestly impressed at how bad S31 was. It’s like… really bad. Like, I think they had to try to make it that bad.
Paramount is Section 31.
Given the merger, I’d say they’re more akin to…
The Section 31 movie was pretty bad but who knows — maybe it will be remembered just as fondly by people 50 years from now as Blackenstein (1973) is today.
WTF is Blacken… oh, I see
Is that implying a high budget or something?
Dune infamously went well over budget and bombed. Whether Section 31 eventually becomes a cult classic is yet to be determined.
Oh come on, we all know the best it could hope for is the infamy equivalent of “cult classic”. The movie people turn on to remember just how shitty corpo Hollywood butchered real classics. … Assuming corpo Hollywood dies soon … oh god, I hope it’s soon…
There was an article were the author argue that the new Section 31 movie could only bomb since they scrapped what was Section 31. They’re not hero’s, they’re villains
There’s a world in which someone takes the Section 31 plotline and spins it out into a compelling Star Trek storyline. But it’s where Section 31 is basically Specter to the Starfleet Rebel Captain’s James Bond. They could have even done it with NuTrek, if they’d left Into Darkness on a cliffhanger (Khan Noonien Singh remains commander of the Enterprise, while Kirk and Spock have to do spook shit to stop him before he takes down Star Fleet from the inside).
If you’re feeling squirrelly, you can do a Hitman style story arc, where you introduce a fresh new character/team doing Le Epic Spycraft Shit in the first Act, realizing the moral hazard of the agency in the second Act, and going through a redemption arc in the third Act. Presumably with some handful of Star Fleet cameos operating as the protagonist’s Jiminy Cricket.
Instead, we get some kind of Space Charlie’s Angels, where the Gene Roddenbery story beats are all tossed in the trash and it’s just generic cowboy sci-fi with Starfleet badges.
Similar could be said of Assassin’s Creed. Cast, check. Budget, check. Writing…

I got it! Let’s mash Ocean’s 11 with Temple of Doom, the attempted wit of Marvel, and characters who don’t belong anywhere near a clandestine shadow organization.

Done, boss. Can I go on my break now?

That’s it, my new headcanon is that Section 31 is made by the same Ferengi studio that did Pog and Dar: Cop Landlords.
Needs more product placement.
