Are we allowed to do missions to official works? by

Because the second Naruto: Shippuden movie could use a good sporking. The main villain is a clear Marty Stu - among his many crimes are being able to open all eight of the Heavenly Gates safely, and the fact that he taught Orochimaru. Also, creating and using a creature which may or may not be a tenth bijuu.

Maybe your agents could go rogue and disrupt the canon. But once the Flowers learn of this, they send a mission to stop the rogue agents and restore Naruto.
This way, you get to spork it with PPC agents, but without doing it in the name of the PPC. -

Better idea is just to have your agents snark about it MST-style. Agents who break The Rules end up suffering. A Lot.

Well, that depends on if you're willing to sacrifice the Agents, of course.

That certainly doesn't mean you can't MST it.
While the PPC isn't allowed to interfere directly with canon, there's no rules against your Agents sitting down with a copy of the movie and going Snark City on it. -
We're here to protect bad canon by

I understand the feeling. Sometimes I so want to smack some canon characters in the face because they're so obnoxious to each other and/or to the canon itself (see Stargate Atlantis and how McKay is treated sometimes). But the Infernal Trio won't be doing that.
The irony is lulz. -
As much as some canon works need killing... by

We can't. We're only allowed to kill fanfics, because the rules state that canon has to be protected no matter how bad it is. Otherwise, Eragon, Twilight, and a few others would have Agents pouring in with large pointy flaming objects, headed straight towards the main characters.

The films aren't technically canon...

By that token, one could say that the films of Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter are not canon either. However, the PPC recognises them as another version of the canon, and gives them equal legitimacy - regardless of how different they are to the original source material.
Sorry to disappoint (there are plenty of canon characters we'd like to take a sharp object to, believe me), but that's how the PPC is - it's the way Jay and Acacia did it, so we can't outright contradict it. -

What about the Ralph Bakshi version of LotR? You know, the one that did verily suck. I've never seen any badfic set in that one, but if there was, would we kill it?

We're supposed to protect the canon- which includes official work.

No. We can not do anything to actual canon. by

That would defeat the purpose of Protecting the Plot Continuum.
