This is a community for posting and sharing trailers and teasers for upcoming film, television and video game premieres. The goal is to provide subscribers a curated feed of trailers for UPCOMING media. General-purpose posts about movies, television and games are better suited for other communities around the Lemmyverse. This place is just for trailers.
Rules
- All posts must be trailers or teasers; not full movies, not trailers for trailers, and not clips of popular scenes. Meta posts from mod staff are OK, but should be kept to a minimum.
- No fan-made trailers or remixes.
- Trailers for upcoming content only. Do not spam the community with trailers for media that has already been released.
- Link to official channels for trailers whenever possible (ie: the YouTube accounts of each film's studio or distribution company); avoid linking to videos from media outlets that function as aggregators / re-posters if you can.
- Post titles should follow formatting guidelines: "Media Name (release year, relevant creator credit)". Creator credits should be directors for films and games, showrunners for television series. Other details such as starring actors, writers, production studios, etc can be added to the post description.
- Don't be a jerk.

I've gotta rant here a bit...
I just finished re-watching all of Deep Space 9 a few weeks ago. I'd seen most of the series as it aired, managed to miss a few very key episodes, but never really gave it a ton of thought since the show ended. All the memes about the prescience of the Bell Riots gave me the nudge to go back and give the series a solid second look (after 25-ish years of hindsight).
The introduction of Section 31 was one of DS9's biggest controversies. The writers behind DS9 were more-or-less arguing that you can't have utopia without someone having to do a little genocide every now and then. And while our heroes genuinely hate this idea, they can live with it.
This is all super interesting stuff to think about and debate both for the sake of fun fiction and how we should all endeavor to live and rule our reality. And this silly-looking movie appears to want utterly zero part of that complex conversation.
And that's really disappointing.
For what it's worth, 'In The Pale Moonlight' ("I can live with it.") wasn't Section 31. That was pure Sisko. At that moment his methods and attitude aligned with what Section 31 would have done, but he was independent.
