Dillinger: I have created the most fearsome, strong, and capable weapon EVER

Ares: gets distracted by rain, catches a lightening bug, stops to marvel at babies

Dillenger: I need to create a fearsome, strong, and capable weapon that follows commands extremely obediently

Athena: :D

Dillenger: no, not like that

Athena should have been the main character of Tron Ares.

I know it sounds obvious because we can all agree that jared leto deserves to die but like. Listen to me for a moment.

(This was copy and pasted from the server I rambled about this in at like 2 AM, but I did try to clean up some of the wording so I apologize for anything sounding off.)

I know the Tron movies aren't ones for social commentary that isn't directly related to technology, and they also have that issue where every main character is white; So far, Athena is the one and only Black character with a prominent role in a Tron movie.

But like, let's look a bit further into things for a second. This whole movie is about a program who learns how to become more than just a pawn for someone else. Athena almost gets the chance to go through that arc, but she continues being loyal to her mission even after it isn't needed, and ends up dying at the end.

Athena, from a narrative and meta perspective, is denied the chance to be her own person. She's under the whim of someone who sees her as a weapon. She's forced into the role of being aggressive and stoic, and while I know this wasn't at all intentional, the implications here aren't so good if we are looking at the meta.

So then, what if she was the one to break free? What if she was the one to learn that she can be vulnerable, that she doesn't have to be strong all the time? Why couldn't it have been Athena to finally have the chance to let her guard down and thrive because of it? She deserved better. She deserves to feel happiness and to be reassured.

but unfortunately this movie is all about that ugly ass guy so i guess we can't have anything good i fucking guess.
