TRON: Legacy/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[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 Withwith Rosie Palms|rejoicing]]" to ever come from a single person.

* [[Anvilicious]]: The board room scene doesn't even ''attempt'' to hide its criticism of current software design and business practices. Also ironic that this is [[The Man Is Sticking It to Thethe Man|in a Disney film, given the stance the company generally takes towards copyright infringement]].

* [[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 Byby 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-Human Hybrid|hybrid babies]]}}. Instead, they intentionally downplayed it, with it at most being a big [[Ship Tease]]. Which is actually a good thing, since the audience is actually left curious about what will happen next, instead of rolling their eyes at what could have otherwise been painfully obvious.
