* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: Clu. The look on his face during his flashback and when {{spoiler|Kevin reintegrates with him}} is just heartrending. After all, he was simply trying to fulfill his objective in the only way he knew how, and while Kevin developed as a person, the arrogance he'd left Clu with -- including the belief that he knew best and was already perfect -- was a driving force behind many of his actions. Considering that he was a program, he lacked the broadness of mind which humans like Kevin and his son Sam have.
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: Several announcements about the film got this reaction, especially Jeff Bridges ''and'' Bruce Boxleitner returning as Kevin Flynn and Alan Bradley/Tron respectively, as well as [[Daft Punk (Music)|Daft Punk]] [[Cyberpunk Is Techno|composing the soundtrack]].
** [[Topless Robot|Rob Bricken.]] Possibly the most vocal, rabid fandom... er, "[[A Date With Rosie Palms|rejoicing]]" to ever come from a single person.
Line 12:
* [[Complete Monster]]: Clu was just getting started when {{spoiler|he ordered the genocide of the ISO programs.}} Even before that he was {{spoiler|1=sending out guards to set bombs in the ISO cities and poisoned the Sea of Simulation so no ISOs would ever be created again.}} Also he brainwashed {{spoiler|Tron}} into becoming a cold-hearted killing machine and rules Tron City with an iron fist; sending any dissenting or unidentified programs to rigged fights to death with Rinzler.
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Castor
* [[Critical Dissonance]]: While the film wasn't savaged by critics, it was generally viewed as being [[So Okay
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: One thing everyone agrees upon including the critics, is that [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSx_N18TWjs the] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3L9n-HG5xY score] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRvVyMuWbpM is] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGzJFJRkmCE awesome].
** The band Daft Punk at the End of the Line Club provides this.
Line 34:
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: [[Magnificent Bastard|Clu]] is a [[Kick the Dog|dog-kicking program]] who takes pleasure in viewing and participating in games to derez citizens in Tron City. It's not a question of if Clu crosses the line, but ''when.'' Here are some milestones:
** {{spoiler|Stealing Tron's light jet and leaving Tron to die in the Sea of Simulation after Tron refuses to shoot down the Flynns and crashed his jet into Clu's.}} Needless to say, much of the fanbase turned against Clu after seeing that.
** {{spoiler|Clu kicking Kevin Flynn to the ground after Flynn apologizes for [[God Is Flawed|giving a flawed and impossible task.]]}} Yes, Clu might've just been doing his job, but taking out all of that anger and confusion on his creator like that?! It's no wonder Sam lost himself in rage and [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?|ran up to punch Clu's face twice afterwards.]]
** And even before all of that, {{spoiler|1=the genocide of the ISOs.}} Since he viewed the ISOs as an imperfection (as well as threatening his ability to create a perfect system, which is '''exactly''' what he was made to do), {{spoiler|1=he purposely reprograms an ISO into a virus to infect and derezz ISOs in ''Evolution''. This was not just used as a distraction for Flynn while he takes over the Grid, it was also used as an excuse to turn the Basics against the ISO population.}}
* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]
Line 47:
* [[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 (Film)|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 [[The Game of Life|T tetromino]] pattern on Tron's chest, to clue viewers in {{spoiler|when they later see the same pattern on Rinzler's chest}}.
* [[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 convinient plot device that would {{spoiler|let the two of them passionately make some [[Half
** [[Word of God|Olivia Wilde]] said that this was done intentionally -- she knew that the romance would ring false.
* [[Tear Jerker]]
