Hey did anyone else know that Bartik makes an appearance in Tron Legacy? He’s the program missing an eye talking to Zuse in his club, he’s also part of the resistance
I accidentally found that out one time. I think I was curious who Bartik's VA was or something, so I looked him up on a wiki, and the main picture was him from Legacy. Kind of an "Oh, shit!" moment.
Out of the Tron suits which do you guys prefer? The original one from the first movie, the one from Legacy/ the Rinzler suit, Beck’s first suit, or the white suit?
Personally I like the latter two the most with the white suit barely coming out on top. I’ll admit I thought it was a little much at first but it really grew on me. It gives me Moon Knight vibes and his whole reasoning with having a white suit so that people see him. It also helps Beck stand out in scenes with him being in this bright ass suit.
Tron is great and hopefully Bruce can still be a part of something in the series, even though he has expressed in the past how he hasn't enjoyed what Disney has done with the IP
If there was one good thing that Disney ever released in the past decade it was Tron Legacy and Uprising, out of the sheer cool factor of the setting alone
So how do you guys think Tron became Rinzler since he didn’t at the end of Uprising? Which I was very surprised of honestly I totally thought it was gonna be a bleaker ending of Tron being repurposed
There were some animatics posted for season 2. Some anons derived the potential storylines and one of their predictions was that the show would end with Tron sacrificing himself and being captured and repurposed into Rinzler and Beckett possibly repurposed also or derezzed, with Paige following a similar fate only after using Tron's disk to send a page (ya get it???) to Alan via the IO tower where the portal was in Legacy. From there the events of Legacy would unfold
> The show is 12 years old. > The show was cancelled part way through so we can't praise the ending > The show is redundant since the movie ends the story and very few of the cast appear in it.
Nearly everyone dies the ending. But it couldn't end any other way.
>> The show is redundant since the movie ends the story and very few of the cast appear in it.
What? That doesn't even make sense, how does any of that make the show "redundant"?
>Will the uprising defeat Clu 2.0?
No because he's in the movie and has control over this world.
>Will TRON avoid being captured?
No because he's working for Clu in the movie.
>Will the heroes survive?
Well there's no evidence of a rebellion in the movie so...
So further episodes would be pointless.
You don't know what redundant means, got it.
Redundant: not or no longer needed or useful.
So this show is redundant since nothing that happens in it will matter since the movie makes it clear how it will end. Knowing that Clu won't be overthrown makes pretending that he might be completely pointless.
so then you believe the only purpose of a television series is to establish the status quo that it will end on?

If it ends on the same status quo as episode one then it was pointless.
Clu starts as the ruler and ends as the ruler, despite everything that happened.
>>Will the uprising defeat Clu 2.0? >No because he's in the movie and has control over this world.
Yeah okay and? Plenty of stories exist where the reader/viewer already knows what the end result is going to be, that doesn't mean shit. >>Will TRON avoid being captured? >No because he's working for Clu in the movie.
Once again, what is your point? The fact that he's not already Rinzler at the start of the series was new information at the time, so seeing how he goes from secret rebellion leader to actually brainwashed pawn by the time of Legacy is a series hook all on its own. >>Will the heroes survive? >Well there's no evidence of a rebellion in the movie so...
Yes, because the only possible outcomes of a story like this are either that the characters are rebels forever in future media or they all died, there couldn't possibly be any other plot points or story directions they could take it, great analysis anon.
>Plenty of stories exist where the reader/viewer already knows what the end result is going to be
It does when the story starts with the status quo matching the end result.
>The fact that he's not already Rinzler at the start of the series was new information at the time
He wasn't Rinzler at the end of the first movie, so it wasn't new information.
>seeing how he goes from secret rebellion leader to actually brainwashed pawn by the time of Legacy is a series hook all on its own.
When you know Tron is going to get brainwashed you're just waiting for that to happen. It also doesn't help that you know Tron's rebellion is going to fail.
Also this series takes place slightly before Legacy so there's not much time to explore this.
>the only possible outcomes of a story like this are either that the characters are rebels forever in future media or they all died
In the movie they never mention any rebels, so they likely died. Also at the end of the movie Clu is defeated so even if they survived they no longer have anything to rebel against.
>there couldn't possibly be any other plot points or story directions they could take it
Such as? The show is about them trying to overthrow Clu and the movie makes it clear they fail. Also the show ends with Clu about to attack them with a massive army and we know that Clu doesn't lose.

So you're moronic on two points here
1) It doesn't start and end on the same status quo, Clu being in charge isn't the only thing that matters to the setting. At the start of the series Tron is alive and well and working to undermine Clu and at the end somehow he's become an accessory to Clu's rule for one major difference.
2) Having a similar situation at the beginning and the end of a story does not somehow invalidate the entire rest of the story, if you honestly believe it does then you are a braindead moron with zero media literacy and should promptly have a nice day.

Explicitly wrong. That was the whole point of people asking Castor to connect them to Zuse. That’s also why there were jobbers like pic related in the club.

The same Zuse who betrays them to Clu. Not much of a rebellion when they're happy to work with the main villain.

Nothing else matters in this setting since it's about overthrowing him.

How? What did the rebellion even accomplish in this show? They at best liberated a city, which was about to be attacked and recaptured by a massive army a few hours later.
>2) Having a similar situation at the beginning and the end of a story does not somehow invalidate the entire rest of the story
It literally does since you could ignore the entire story and nothing would change. It would be like if Avatar starts with Ozai ruling the Fire Nation and controlling most of the Earth Kingdom and ended the exact same way.

Well this is cool. How come I see so few people talk about it?
How come we had 0 threads about Wander Over Yonder oops I mean Green Eggs & Ham's season 2? That thing managed to seamlessly combine theatrical animation+voice acting+writing in a 20 minute episode format like I've wanted since I was 8 years old.
Imagine a world where the IP was never sold. We'd have 1313, Clone Wars would be going on for a few more seasons, Disney would stick with Tron in some way shape or form. Frick, wrong timeline, man
There’s a timeline out there were Tron Legacy blew up and John Carter didn’t flop, and a whole era of fun sci-fi got launched in the 10s instead of a decade of a horrible mix of dour, depressing movies and bland corporate remake slop.
>Mishandle the first sequel and its tie-in media so badly that the franchise goes dormant for over a decade >Decide to try to revive it again by casting fricking Jared Leto in the next sequel, because he hasn't starred in enough horrible adaptations of beloved franchises recently
I loved Tron exclusively cause of the KH2 level. Then I watched the show and loved Tron cause of the world, the characters and the action. Then I got to watch the original movie and gotta say the first movies aesthathic is simply perfect.
Dude I wanna live on the Grid. It looks so cozy. I’ve got that thing people had when the first Avatar came out and people were depressed they couldn’t live on Pandora, but I wanna have a cool light suit and have disc fights with my friends
That’s the beauty of having characters that don’t technically bleed by still leave remains
It is pretty cool to see a show get away with shit like this, but it's disappointing that this is really the only way to get past censors here in the west considering the kind of subject matter that's perfectly normal in childrens' action cartoons in places like Japan.
Treating kids like they're morons who can't be allowed to know that violence exists is how you get an entire generation of morons who have mental breakdowns over the mere mention of things they find unpleasant. Please for the love of god can we stop infantilizing everything? Allow media to be mature without stooping to "mature" adult animation levels where everything is a dick joke and excessive use of the word frick to let people know it's for grown ups who like grown up shit.
I actually want to see more of how modern Encom is doing. I recently got an engineering desk job after graduation and there are still parts of the office that look exactly like this.
Plus, they set it up well with the BluRay bonus features >The Next Day >Alan Bradley >Ed Dillinger Jr >New MCP >Flynn Lives
As was mentioned, it did actually get a lot of discussion back when it was airing, but unfortunately Disney decided it needed to be fricking buried and forgotten for whatever reason, so there's not really much left to talk about.
I actually still need to go back and fully watch it, I started it up way back and never finished it. I think a lot of people who didn't check it out were probably turned away by the art style since at first glance it seems kind of weird and off-putting, though I think it grows on you pretty quickly when you actually give it a chance.
Uprising really feels a lot like a spiritual successor to the early era of CGI cartoons like Reboot and Beast Wars, and even hybrid shows like Code Lyoko. It's not anything specific about it so much as just like the general vibe of like what the creators were going for if that makes sense. It feels like it sets itself apart from all the other CGI shows from its time and even more modern stuff because they had a really clear vision of like the visual style and atmosphere they wanted to create to take advantage of the technology used for the animation.
Are there any other shows you guys can think of that evoke that same kind of feeling when you're watching them? I'd be interested to check them out.
I remember this was airing when Motorcity was airing, although I skipped it in favor for Motorcity. How well does it hold up? I'm thinking of giving it a shot
I missed out on both of them, I think because Disney XD was a premium channel I didn't have at the time. Just recently started Motorcity and it's pretty neat, need to get back to it actually. I did start up watching Tron Uprising years ago on Netflix and just fell off it for some reason I can't remember, this thread reminded me I need to go back and actually watch it through.
I think it's a lot better than Motorcity, its main issue is the complete lack of closure thanks to being cancelled which can leave you feeling a bit pissed off.
So… what do we think of Tron Ares. The plot synopsis is that a program, the titular Ares, is sent out in the real world on some kinda mission. At least it’s something new
Why the frick would anyone want a Tron movie where you spend the majority of the runtime in the boring ass real world? Why are Disney execs so fricking out of touch?
John Wick's runtime was set in the real world, and look how awesome that was.
It all depends on how a thing is used.
There's a lot that can be done with a program vs a corporation.
Stop the paywall!
Stop collecting our data!
Free the information!
>John Wick was set in the real world
well there wasn't a fricking magical assassin dimension full of crazy shit that it could've been set in instead. Who the frick watches TRON and goes "boy I sure hope they wrap up all this Grid shit and go to the gritty back streets of New York"
No one cares about the real world shit in Tron, it's completely missing the point. Also Jared Leto sucks wiener as an actor so making him the lead is extremely moronic.
Beyond the first 3-4 episodes or so the show goes very kiddie and not in a fun way. Interesting ideas like a "program" losing the disc he battles with making him lose his memories. Beck's utility tool and proficiency as an engineer mechanic that can fix things takes a massive backseat. Most of the cool weapons aren't used anymore. The competitive death games no longer happen, etc.
I'm still pissed they cut down the budget for no reason other than "We don't want anything to eclipse and compete with Star Wars".
and they moved Uprising to 2AM on Sunday, what the hell.
I wonder what the original thing would have been like if they didn't halven the budget. I know they changed the original character designer for the guy who worked on Invader Zim and designed for Randy Cunningham, Motorcity.
Also I can't find the 1080p version
We did. A lot
But you can only sustain something so long where there isn't a porn-addled fanbase to constantly bring it up. I'm not even anti-porn but it certainly keeps stuff alive real good

Hey did anyone else know that Bartik makes an appearance in Tron Legacy? He’s the program missing an eye talking to Zuse in his club, he’s also part of the resistance
Never noticed that. Can't recall any other background characters from Legacy that made an appearance in Uprising
I accidentally found that out one time. I think I was curious who Bartik's VA was or something, so I looked him up on a wiki, and the main picture was him from Legacy. Kind of an "Oh, shit!" moment.
For me, it was finding out the guy who wanted some of Alan’s popcorn is RAM

Black Rinzler suit with white light highlights, the one he used to fight Kobol
Yeah there’s something about the Tron suit either having little to no lights, or being covered in lights that works imo
Please don’t let this thread die I wanna talk about Tron
Tron is great and hopefully Bruce can still be a part of something in the series, even though he has expressed in the past how he hasn't enjoyed what Disney has done with the IP
I love that Bruce is still very into the role of Tron and how he always plays him in basically everything
If there was one good thing that Disney ever released in the past decade it was Tron Legacy and Uprising, out of the sheer cool factor of the setting alone
Weirdly timed thread. I just watched Tron Legacy last night. Haven't seen this show in about a decade, though.
Honestly I think Uprising is the best thing writing wise to come out of the franchise
So how do you guys think Tron became Rinzler since he didn’t at the end of Uprising? Which I was very surprised of honestly I totally thought it was gonna be a bleaker ending of Tron being repurposed
There were some animatics posted for season 2. Some anons derived the potential storylines and one of their predictions was that the show would end with Tron sacrificing himself and being captured and repurposed into Rinzler and Beckett possibly repurposed also or derezzed, with Paige following a similar fate only after using Tron's disk to send a page (ya get it???) to Alan via the IO tower where the portal was in Legacy. From there the events of Legacy would unfold

So was Tron: Uprising just Star Wars Rebels but good?
Paige is hotter and a more interesting character
I couldn't get into. It looked very cool, gorgeous designs, but I found the MC kind of bland and annoying. May try again for the visuals
Uprising really feels a lot like a spiritual successor to the early era of CGI cartoons like Reboot and Beast Wars, and even hybrid shows like Code Lyoko. It's not anything specific about it so much as just like the general vibe of like what the creators were going for if that makes sense. It feels like it sets itself apart from all the other CGI shows from its time and even more modern stuff because they had a really clear vision of like the visual style and atmosphere they wanted to create to take advantage of the technology used for the animation.

Robert Valley's character design for this was next level
Yeah Robert Valley’s one of the greats
It took me several episodes to really start jiving with the character designs; they're very spindly.
they bought marvel or star wars at around that time, and decided to focus on that instead
it was also because Legacy didn't do as well as they wanted so they pretty much abandoned all their plans for related media.
I remember this was airing when Motorcity was airing, although I skipped it in favor for Motorcity. How well does it hold up? I'm thinking of giving it a shot
Well I think it’s pretty damn great. It’s got good story and characters, action’s pretty good too. It does end on a cliff hanger though
I'll check it out then. They really need to give Robert Valley another project to work on. His stuff is always great
He’s pretty active on his Instagram if you don’t follow. Sometimes he’ll post Tron stuff
He also has tutorials up on gumroad.
Robert Valley also worked on Motorcity so I think you'll enjoy it well.
I didn’t know that but it doesn’t surprise me, given how similar the characters look
I missed out on both of them, I think because Disney XD was a premium channel I didn't have at the time. Just recently started Motorcity and it's pretty neat, need to get back to it actually. I did start up watching Tron Uprising years ago on Netflix and just fell off it for some reason I can't remember, this thread reminded me I need to go back and actually watch it through.
I think it's a lot better than Motorcity, its main issue is the complete lack of closure thanks to being cancelled which can leave you feeling a bit pissed off.
So… what do we think of Tron Ares. The plot synopsis is that a program, the titular Ares, is sent out in the real world on some kinda mission. At least it’s something new
It's a modern Disney film based on a legacy franchise starring Jared Leto, it's going to be irredeemable shit anon.
Why the frick would anyone want a Tron movie where you spend the majority of the runtime in the boring ass real world? Why are Disney execs so fricking out of touch?
Because they’re stupid that’s why
John Wick's runtime was set in the real world, and look how awesome that was.
It all depends on how a thing is used.
There's a lot that can be done with a program vs a corporation.

>John Wick was set in the real world
well there wasn't a fricking magical assassin dimension full of crazy shit that it could've been set in instead. Who the frick watches TRON and goes "boy I sure hope they wrap up all this Grid shit and go to the gritty back streets of New York"
Sounds awful.
No one cares about the real world shit in Tron, it's completely missing the point. Also Jared Leto sucks wiener as an actor so making him the lead is extremely moronic.
Oh yeah I forgot Jared Leto’s starring in this pile. Evan Peters too but I think he’s good so there’s that
I was checking through my old archives and couldn't find it, does anyone have the "Tron apology form"?
>the second golden age of good action cartoons like Tron and Motorcity lasted essentialy a blip
Frick
At least there’s… frick
I love Tessler’s big Luffy arms. I always chuckle when he uses them
Yeah first episode I thought he was gonna shoot a laser or something next thing I know Frodo is fighting Mr. Fantastic
Beyond the first 3-4 episodes or so the show goes very kiddie and not in a fun way. Interesting ideas like a "program" losing the disc he battles with making him lose his memories. Beck's utility tool and proficiency as an engineer mechanic that can fix things takes a massive backseat. Most of the cool weapons aren't used anymore. The competitive death games no longer happen, etc.
>Cinemaphile just ate my 2 large posts
I'm done with this "website". Piece of shit chink garbage code & layout.
I'm still pissed they cut down the budget for no reason other than "We don't want anything to eclipse and compete with Star Wars".
and they moved Uprising to 2AM on Sunday, what the hell.
I wonder what the original thing would have been like if they didn't halven the budget. I know they changed the original character designer for the guy who worked on Invader Zim and designed for Randy Cunningham, Motorcity.
Also I can't find the 1080p version
