  • Can you believe an arcade game spawned a movie which spawned a sequel which spawned one of the best cartoons to ever be made (literally) and then have it be cancelled because people were sleeping on how good this show was?

      Agreed I have a theory on what happened tho right so in legacy Quorra said a couple of programs saved her life right? I believe it was actually Mara and Zed. Ok ok maybe I should start from the beginning at the end of season one we see Clu flying into the city, and let's assume season 2 happened right what would happen, I believe Clu would put in a big form of martial law and a lot of crazy stuff would go down, the place on lockdown and this new resistance starts fighting against them but they have to do it in secret because stuff is crazy. And bunch of crazy shit happens along the way including Dyson, Tesler and Pavel getting derezzed, two of them probably by Clu himself, Tesler because he got in the way and started a power struggle, and Dyson because he was terrified of Tron and wanted to defect, at some point Paige finds out Beck is the renegade causing more tension between the two, then the other main characters find out and after some anger argue whether or not they can trust him anymore. At some point Tron is given an ultimatum to either protect Beck and turn into Rinzler, or save himself and let him get derezzed, Tron will choose to save Beck and turn himself over to Clu, forcing the main characters to go underground and at some point Quorra shows up and eventually sorts out all the bad blood with Paige and from then we get three outcomes going from amazing to absolutely heartbreaking in all three the renegade and Paige are separated from Mara and Zed so they can save Quorra and help her escape 1 Clu sends Pavel to take out the renegade, while Mara and Zed help Quorra get out of the city because they're less known that the renegade, renegade and Paige take out Pavel and Quorra escapes and everyone gets with everyone their supposed to and they all live happily ever after 2. Same as the last except one the teams die 3. Clu sends Rinzler after the renegade leading to the renegades demise, and sends Pavel to take to take out Quorra he manages to take out Mara and Zed but Qourra gets away. I hate to say it but the third one is most likely but I really really want to hope for option one because Beck and Paige is the single best relationship ever and you can't change my mind about that, but anyways I'm super pissed they never got a second season so that's just what I think happened next

      ​@@adriannaranjo4397 To be fair a lot of fans including myself was actively trying, TRYING, to watch the show as it was airing but Disney XD was practically sabotaging the show by moving the schedule every week that it became incredibly hard to know when new episodes were coming out, when they were airing them and what time it was on because they stopped advertising it. Didn't help that they stopped airing episodes weekly, to biweekly to whenever the hell they felt like it. It's such a crying shame.

      I think he simply misread or misunderstood some information as he is learning about the lore and continuity of the franchise as a whole. He likely mistook a portion of the write up explaining Legacy’s plot as if it was explaining the series as a whole. Mistaking Abrams as the director was likely a situation where he saw the director’s name flash on screen but wasn’t actually paying much attention and just assumed it said JJ.

  • @eji
    @eji 4 ปีที่แล้ว +206

    18:10 A little hindsight on why "people weren't interested" in Uprising: it is the belief of myself and many others online that Disney was insistent on this show being marketed to a demographic that it ultimately shouldn't have been focused on. Being on DisneyXD, the show was SUPPOSED to be aimed for the young 8-12 year old demographic, but its mature story, visual presentation, and concepts actually did better with older audiences. Unfortunately, however, Disney refused to alter their marketing approach to appeal to the proper audience, and instead shifted the new show to later night time slot (expecting a show on a premium cable channel at a MIDNIGHT time slot to do well with 10 year olds is insane) which made it harder for people to catch. Mid-season in the series, they randomly put the show on hiatus, barely advertising the show at all at this point, only to bring the remaining episodes back without much fanfare at continuing bad time slots.
    To add more insult to injury, no merchandise was ever made aside from a soundtrack and a junior novel, so no chance for fans to support the series that way either. There isn't even a physical copy of the series to buy.
    So TL;DR, thanks to Disney's pisspoor management and marketing, they screwed the series when it actually could've done quite well with an older demographic and some semblance of merch.

    • @davisharper6704
      @davisharper6704 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Very well said. This makes me think that Disney should've had it's own adult oriented channel, like how Turner, the company that owns Cartoon Network, has Adult Swim. Tron: Uprising was just catered to the wrong audience imo. But apparently Disney has too much of a kid-friendly agenda to make things more "adult."

    • @eji
      @eji 4 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      @@davisharper6704 Funny you mention adult swim... here's something you may find interesting: a year or so ago, before Disney+ had launched and Uprising was put there, I had actually asked Jason Demarco, the program manager for toonami/adult swim, whether he'd ever tried to acquire Uprising, since animated shows for older audiences did well under his watch... And he surprised me by telling me he had actually tried to make that happen back when Uprising was cancelled, but Disney said no.
      It's too bad too, since toonami actually had a good history of funding/bringing back projects, maybe Uprising could've been one of those. 😕

Both are awesome games. The visual styles of both are amazing. Like the original’82 film, TRON 2.0’s visuals still look great today simply because the art style transcends the graphical limitations of the time and actually would only need better character faces/models to be considered “remastered”

There's an storyboard animatic floating around somewhere with a deleted scene where Clu meets up with Tesler and punishes him for his failures up to that point. From what I understand, it still would've ended on the cliffhanger of Clu's forces vs. all the Rebels, but it wouldn't have been as rushed.

    I'm so glad to see that many years later, there's a dedicated fanbase for this series. There's so many unfinished plot points that it drives me insane. Why would they just dump a masterpiece like this? It was ambitious, experimental, explored many different themes, and most importantly of all, was engaging throughout all of it while having a more mature theme! It's not fair that the mistakes of the parent corporation have to be given as burdens to innocent shows and killed off because of it. But look, many years later this show has a bigger following than ever before! Unfortunately, I bet if we asked now, Disney would just find a way to screw it up, but could they at least just give us one movie to tie everything up? Like Serenity did for Firefly years after its cancellation? Just bridge the gap between this show and the beginning of Tron: Legacy, please.

    Quick thing: J.J. Abrams didn't actually have anything to do with the movie. I was thinking of the Star Trek interviews and there's interviews comparing directors who reboot franchises and I mixed J.J. Abrams and Joseph Kosinski.
    Also, the game and movie came out the same year. The movie wasn't technically based on the game. There were people who played the game first and then watched the movie which lead to reports of people thinking that one was based off the other and vice versa.

    I honestly enjoyed my time in Tron Evolution. Learning to be a security program from Tron and canonically being called Anon was delightful. The combat was about as you would expect it to be for a Tron game. A lot of flipping and ID throwing. It felt good, though some of the platforming was janky at times. I don't know I've always loved the concept of Tron. Like peeking into a world of digital beings gets my imagination sparking.

    I am too tired at the moment to make a long, properly written comment, but for what it's worth:
    I watched the original Tron when I was a kid, and promptly forgot it. I was too young.
    I later experienced the game Tron 2.0, and was enthralled. The world building was incredible to me, and the experience continues to stick with me today.
    I hated Tron Legacy. I honestly believe this is because of my familiarity with Tron 2.0, which was far less philosophical and had already accomplished the intriguing world design.
    I rediscovered the original Tron, loved it, and opened up a bit more to Legacy. I still don't like it, but I at least understand why it went in the direction it did.
    I loved Tron Uprising. It still didn't have the world building I was looking for, but it made up for that with its strong character development.
    I have little hope for a third Tron movie. Disney in general has been getting worse with each release, and I doubt they'll give the franchise the world building it deserves. I'd love to see continuations of Uprising and 2.0, but I'd rather it be by someone who isn't Disney.
