** Then again, [http://www.aintitcool.com/node/47947 this analysis of the film] argues that ''Tron: Legacy'' is actually an attack on idea that all information MUST be free, and it makes some very good points.
* [[Award Snub]]: Despite getting critical and audience-based praise for its [[Visual Effects of Awesome|Visual Effects]] and [[Crowning Music of Awesome|Soundtrack]], neither of these things were nominated for the [[Academy
* [[Badass Decay]]: Kevin Flynn is less proactive in this film than he was in the first one, instead withdrawing himself from the Grid because of his inability to defeat Clu. To paraphrase [[Dilbert]], he's actively waiting for change, which happens when Sam arrives. Once he does, the old Kevin Flynn begins to reemerge.
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Castor
Line 27:
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Castor/Zeus
* [[Memetic Molester]]: Judging by the [[Kink Meme]] for this fandom, Clu headed here faster than a stolen light-cycle.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: '''[[Rage Against the Heavens|"KEVIN FLYNN!!!]] [[Large Ham|WHERE ARE YOU]] [
** "Out there is a new world! OUT THERE IS OUR VICTORY!!! Out there... is our destiny!"
** "[[The Mole|"The game has changed"]], son of Flynn!" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY5ecnUA5dc\].
Line 45:
** Flynn's {{spoiler|confrontation with Clu}} has hints of the parable of the Prodigal Son {{spoiler|(a father figure accepting/welcoming back his wayward son)}}.
* [[Sequelitis]]:
* [[Show Accuracy, Toy Accuracy]]: In the opening scene set in 1989, Kevin Flynn shows Sam an action figure of Tron. This may look like [[Product Placement]], but a Tron action figure with the light-up gimmick seen only in modern-day ''TRON: Legacy'' toys never actually existed in [[Real Life]].<ref>''[[Tron]]'' action figures from 1982 were molded in colored transparent plastic with circuitry painted over it. The discs glowed in the dark, and the figures had only five points of articulation.</ref> The only reason for its inclusion seems to be to serve as a [[Chekhov's Gun]] establishing the [[
* [[Strangled by the Red String]]: Carefully averted. Since at the end of the movie, {{spoiler|Quorra becomes flesh and blood in the real world}}, if {{spoiler|her romantic interactions with Sam had been even a little more direct}}, a lot of viewers probably would have been left feeling like the whole thing was just a
** [[Word of God|Olivia Wilde]] said that this was done intentionally -- she knew that the romance would ring false.
* [[Tear Jerker]]

** If that wasn't bad enough, how about the flashback {{spoiler|when Kevin Flynn sees the genocide of the ISO programs and realizes that there's nothing he could do to stop it?}} I mean... damn.
** In [[Fridge Horror|Fridge terms,]] the scene where Kevin reveals to his son that {{spoiler|[[Last of His Kind|Quorra is the last ISO]] and all of Kevin's efforts to disguise her as a regular program. The scene when she tells Sam how she escaped the genocide only [[It Gets Worse|makes it worse.]]}}
Line 67:
