Spiner himself explained,

One of the ideas that John Logan and I had about what the next film would have been was a Justice League of Star Trek. Something would bring all the great Star Trek villains together, from Khan to Shinzon, and Picard is the only person who could stop them and he actually has to go through time and pluck out the people he needs to help him. He goes back to the moment before Data blows up and takes him back to get Kirk and Spock, and go even further back and get Scott Bakula's character, Archer.

I can't imagine it would have been good, but boy do I wish I existed in a universe where this movie had been made.

This is something I would have loved to hate.

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think this is a great take.

I get the appeal. Cross overs are enticing. But Zach Snyder's justice League demonstrates a huge challenge that most people don't seem to discuss: the recruitment needs to have a purpose.

Remember when Batman is asking Aquaman to be in his ~~movie~~ team? It's clear that the only reason is that the team is not a means, it's the end. He doesn't need him for any particular reason, he just spends the he could be trying to ~solve~ a mystery building a club from scratch with no clear purpose. I think this set up would have the same problem.

In some contexts this would be called a solution without a problem. I couldn't agree more!
