OKAY SO I WATCHED THE NEW TRON FILM LAST NIGHT AND I HAVE THOUGHTS BELOWWWWW (spoilers ahead my dudes)
i've been a Tron fan for years and i was initially really worried about a third film because it's been 15 years, but my God it went so hard
some things i wasn't a fan of was jared leto being in it, as he's not a very nice person and i wish they'd cast someone else, but his acting was decent in it, still wish they wouldn't have hired such a menace
i also wished that we had sam and quorra in the film too and not just a nod to them, i do appreciate that the film did that, but it would have been so nice to see them in the film. having said that, i feel like the ending where ares goes to try and find them sets up another film really nicely so maybe they'll be in the fourth one? (if they do a fourth one)
and following on from that, i'm a little sad we didn't get to see edward dillinger jr (who was played by cillian murphy in legacy) in this one, i really hope they haven't ret-conned his character! i would love to see in the next film ed jr coming back to the dillinger company and just being like...what the fuck has my nephew done lol
loved the rest of the cast, evan peters as julian dillinger was superb and jodie-turner smith as athena knocked it out of the park
and NINE INCH NAILS' SOUNDTRACK??? daft punk's soundtrack for legacy was so iconic so it was huge shoes to fill, but nine inch nails are incredible so i knew this wouldn't be a problem for them and they did a fantastic job
the 80's grid coming back was such a lovely surprise and seeing bit again was so cute, i want to have bit as a pet tbh
And seeing a recogniser appear from behind a tall building ready to hunt Eve down made my heart drop it was absolutely terrifying lol
AND JULIAN BECOMING SARK AT THE END, DEAR READER I FUCKING SCREAMED IN THE SCREEN MY GASTS WERE FLABBERED I TELL YOU
so yeah, tron: ares was phenomenal, and it will now be my personality for the foreseeable future thank you and goodnight
