So for my graphic design class we had to create a movie poster for a scfi or horror movie. I naturally choose to do Tron 1982. thought I would show them here and you can be the judge if I cooked or not

The next pic in my Bat-Tron series - Beckman Beyond!

@coupleofdays suggested this idea a while back when I was contemplating whether Beck should be Nightwing (Beckwing). I thought Beck as Batman Beyond would work better since both Beck and Terry are the successors of heroes.

I thought it would be cool if Beck could rez his mask on, similar to the way he changes his costume in Uprising.

poor Tron. first he lost his girl, then he got beheaded, THEN he got turned into an assassin, and then he got written out of his own franchise.

Tron Disc Simbolism

I think Legacy disc are intented to be a more direct reference to the Samsara Wheel. Considering that Tron is a gnostic saga.

The Samsara Wheel is a mirror of the Human Nature and the key path nescessary to achieve Nirvana (Gnosis). To look to the wheel is to look to ourselves. A programs Disc is their Identity, when you look inside the disc you are looking to the programs nature (as is concieved in philosophy).

The Samsara Wheel is key to understanding how to reach gnosis the same way Flynn Disc is nescessary for the programs to achieve the real world (which is the ideal perfect world). In tron 1982 is also similar but the similarities are more subtle.

In 1982 its basically the same the Disc is the mirror wich you achieve the higher idealistc existence (the users).

The line made by Dummond:

"All that is visible must grow beyond itself and extend in the realm of the invisible" Seems a line took directvly from a gnostic book, i was shocked whe I heard it lol. But its describes the nescessary journey from the Keroma (material visible world) to the Pleroma (Ideal World). But the disc also has a connection to Sudarshana Chakra, which is the weapon in form of a weel from the Hindu god Vishnu. Here Vishnu weel its supposed to cut trought chaos evil and illusion and bring eligthment, clarity and order.

The same way programs dics are what they use to fight against the evil clu or MCP (which is the demiurg) and also what they use to reach the users and the real world which both are instances of clarity. The programs use the disc to "cut" trought the beings that trap them in the world of illusions.

If you did not understand anything that I am talking about please read my previous post on the matter where I explain in Detail why tron Is a gnostic saga.

Some videos to help you out:

Where’s the “you have no memory if you loose your disk” come from?

I’m assuming it is in uprising and the fandom just ran with it because in the movies it’s blatantly false.

Greetings. The Master Control Program has chosen you to serve your system on the Game Grid. Those of you who continue to profess a belief in the Users will receive the standard substandard training which will result in your eventual elimination. Those of you who renounce this superstitious and hysterical belief will be eligible to join the warrior elite of the MCP. You will each receive an identity disc.

Everything you do or learn will be imprinted on this disc. If you lose your disc, or fail to follow commands, you will be subject to immediate de-resolution. That will be all.

Once again how Flynn was there for the speech “huh they’re giving this thing to a very specific few and no one seems happy about it” and then went “I liked the frisbees I’m going to put them in my world :)” is so wild to me. I know it was probably actually Disney higher ups who just…. Didn’t think about the implications of making it mandatory for all.

Classic-

In the classic grid it was assigned spesifically by the MCP to the video warriors, gladiators, combatants etc (whatever you want to call them).  Essentially it makes  eradication easier. If you were in the game grid you were one of three things:

1.) Religious

2.) rebellious/just want to do your function

3.) “useless”

Keep in mind the MCP was different from Clu, he wasn’t reprogramming he was assimilating. Took control of all your functions, made it so you wouldn’t want to complete them or talk to your user. You are apart of him now. Apart of one. If he found you useful. If not your in the games to eventually die there. The disks just make it easier to pick up what useful information a program may have while  simultaneously getting rid of the body.

You don’t loose your memory when you loose the disk. It’s a memory backup! Basically it’s a hardwired flash drive in your back!! If you loose it they just kill you (this is to prevent rebellious programs from destroying theirs or refusing it).

Legacy-

Ok well then is it different In the other grid? Slightly. Flynn didn’t intend it as a oppressive tool but it canonically serves similar functions later on, we here the later part of Sarks speech as a safety speel in the armory before Sam is sent to the games. “Take it off and well fucking kill you”. This is under clu. Under Flynn I’m imagining it was mainly memory back up and so he could have quick access to code/be able to code from inside.

If you still want to use the memory loss trope that’s fine. I’m just, really curious where it started because it’s not exactly the case?

daily reminder that if it wasn't by Robert Valley's work on the hollow it wouldn't have that characteristic art style design
