#tron thoughts

[what-bot]

Tron to others when they're about to meet Kevin: There’s no need to be nervous, he’s really just a guy. He's friendly

Tron when he’s about to meet Alan: Oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god what do I even say

It will never not bother me that Legacy was almost a completely different movie had Alan answered the page instead of Sam

No offence to tron legacy, but I wish Alan Bradley found the grid during uprising.

Just imagine Alan Bradley in the grid, saving tron/rinzler. Managing to finally meet Tron and tron's friends.

I imagine Alan has managed to have hidden talents - like disc skills of anything you can think. Also as an user in the grid he could utilize things he can do in the grid he normally can't do outside in the physical world.

Also him helping and slowly learning about the grid and sneaking around while hiding his identity until the big dramatic reveal about him being torn until it's actually revealed to be Alan, trons user.

Okay, basically if Tron is this cool then what about his user when he is in the grid (also outside the grid but different type of cool) and saving the grid.

Also he gets to yell at flynn for what he has done plus finally getting to meet tron - which could have happened if flynn wasn't gatekeeping him

//Listening to the TRON: LEGACY sound track and thinking about how the “Recognizer” sound track would encapsulate the Empire’s impression on Echo. Just this huge, ominous force—like the whole thing was like being in a giant pyramid ship.

//But I’m also having thoughts about how after Echo was found by Wes & Hobbie from Red Squadron, Rogue Flight, she would’ve needed lots of training bc Sol jumpships aren’t nearly as fast as TIEs and X-Wings. (They’re probably the middle man between X-wings and Y-wings tbh). But all the squadrons were on back to back missions, so they couldn’t train her, thus putting her in a commando unit where she could do some good.

//but she still needed training.

//so to train her up to speed, Whisper studied and downloaded all the training material she could, copied flight and sim data, and even nabbed mission data from xwings and astromechs to make a flight training sim for Echo.

//With all the data she gathered from the sims and the Rogues, she compiled a trainer that could be both aware of his student’s flying level and learn how to better maneuver and teach.

//The AI pilot running the trainging sim?

//TRON.

//instead of a security program, Whisper made him into a digital snub jockey, capable of running sims with and against other pilots. As a trainer, he gets updates to his programming in the form of sim packets, updating both his knowledge and student-teacher skillsets. As a snubfighter, he gets updates through experience, learning by flying with and against other pilots.

//you can imagine everyone’s surprise when someone went to investigate Echo’s sim… and found it talking back.

Beck having to learn to be ambidextrous, because Tron is too but is mainly left-handed so if Beck goes around as the Renegade being right-handed 100% of the time people will know something’s up. Plus he can get Tron’s southpaw advantage in fights

This following from the concept of Tron being the only lefty on the Grid (inherited from Alan), due to Kevin being a righty so all his programs are too

However, unless you subscribe to the theory that the ISOs evolved out of Kevin’s DNA then maybe some of them were lefties as well, probably much closer to 50/50 than humans are. On the other hand (lol) Kevin did make the system they’re in, so could go either way

What if there was a scene where Beck, Able and stealthsuit Tron were talking in the back room of the garage

And Zed or Mara came in and they just had to act like everything was normal

Bonus points if Tron vanishes while Beck and Able are trying to play it off

I like that in Uprising there are a couple programs who are visually Old. Meanwhile Tron is older than all of them and looks basically the same. Ageless immortal eternal hero vibes.

Noticed something else

Beck’s main friends in the garage crew have all got elements of Able’s circuitry (i.e. the circle and straight lines), but Beck himself doesn’t.

Notice the upper body patterns on Able. The pattern on his chest, straight lines on his shoulders, those waist outlines. If you zoom in on his forearm there’s another circle-straight line there as well

Mara is the most obvious; she’s got the circle and 3 lines on her chest like Able does, just inverted. There are also some circle-line patterns on her shoulders, and smaller elongated ones on her arms and legs. The upper part of the torso circuits is similar as well. Which makes sense because she’s the favourite and Able’s first choice to take over from him.

Bodhi also has circle-lines on his chest and torso, and the line patterns on his shoulders and waist resemble Able’s as well. We don’t know much about him since he dies immediately, but this plus the confidence and really good multi-tool could indicate he fits in a bit better than Zed.

Zed is a bit sneakier. He’s got the 3 lines on his back and the disc is the circle. You can’t see it here but the boots resemble Able’s as well. Possibly some symbolism about him being a bit contrarian and not fitting in quite as well, but deep down he is still part of the ‘family’.

And Beck is the odd one out. His patterns are quite different to the others, outside a couple loose similarities with Zed. BUT he does have hip circles. Like a certain other program does when in his stealth suit.

HMMMMMMM
