#I love rinzler and have so many hcs for him after legacy hes my little scrungly. my messed up little guy.

[kai-ni]

exactly LDKFJDSLFJ it's very clear imagineering put very little thought actually into the Tron universe element of the ride beyond the surface level (???) considering they re-used assets from Evolution including models, and one of them was Clu with a different name despite the fact his circuit pattern is unique lmao. They don't care.

The laser is cool though. I'll accept my crumbs.

Honestly, if Rinzler still is Tron in lightcycle run it just poses so many questions for me. Why would Sam rebuild the grid, the whole world from the ground up, and then keep one of his dad’s best friends as the mindless attack dog that Clu was using Tron as? Were the remnants of Tron’s code so broken down by Clu that Rinzler was the only version of him he could bring back at all? Was he just craving the chance to finally go head to head against Rinzler on a lightcycle just to see if he could win? Or did he just conveniently forget to reprogram Tron into the grid? I don’t see how Sam, grieving his father’s death and rebuilding the grid in his memory, would have forgotten to fix Tron in the process, but I also don’t see why he would have intentionally kept Rinzler. The whole thing is incredibly confusing to me. And yeah, it’s a dorky little rollercoaster, but they intentionally included Rinzler instead of Tron and I want to know why.
