How come Star Wars gets a fuck ton of shitty sequels but the first TRON film in 15 years is a flop? I was waiting for this film since I was a child.

I actually enjoyed this movie. They needed to do marketing, but it came out and I only found out because I get emails from my local indie theater.

Honestly, can they just sell or license Tron to someone who cares about the franchise?

That question should be asked of every franchise Disney owns.

Honestly, if the FCC and FTC weren't controlled by corpocrats, Disney would have been broken up years ago.

I'm just now hearing about it, then again I didn't know there was a tron 2 or 3. I just knew the first one came out

So far in the Tron franchise, we have:

  • Tron
  • Tron 2.0 & Tron 2.0: Killer App (non-canon)
  • Tron: Uprising (really cool CGI cartoon)
  • Tron: Legacy (second movie)
  • Tron: Ares (this new movie)

Right, Ghost in the Machine. I always forget it.
