That sounds like a great idea for a show actually:

Traditional evil org with faceless minions, volcano bases, etc. fights new upstart evil org that uses modern tech.

Isn't that basically the American Gods show?

Eh. I'd rather they reboot American Gladiators. Except this time all the CEOs are the contestants, going up against the buff Gladiators.

Only in this version, we get a bit more authentic to the orgin of the word "gladiator". These ones are violent, and trying to kill.

I'd watch that show.
