#but this sort of thing is so intruguing to me too

Been thinking since @measlyscrapofseafood posted this about the whole 'does Rinzler become Tron post-Legacy or does Rinzler stay Rinzler????' & anyways it ended up leaving me with some thoughts about how my sad ass, shaggy version of Rinz would be if he did return to being Tron....

So here's my interpretation of the hero program as he'd be after all that shit he'd gone through. But even though other programs celebrate his return, there's something just not right about him.

The guy is more than just a bit broken but he too wants to go back to being the good guy everyone has been waiting for & out of blind happiness to have him back, everyone just tries to ignore the off-ness he now carries as his burden from the monster Tron became as Rinzler.

But, during his return to the games, he's just a bit too brutal & after derezzing a few programs because he just can't turn off his old programming.... other folks start realizing some freaky shit is going on...

Well... I always feel like I have to wait before I can fully make a judgment about things, it's intruguing how sure people seem to be able to talk about things about how others may feel or how others are because how do you know? How can you judge others with such conviction?;

All I can talk about are my feelings and mine alone, I can always make inquiries and assume what the other party may feel when they do something (I did study psychology and I really have fun talking about that area) but I always.. "Think" it could be so, I'm aware I always can be wrong.

It's...not a bad idea to just see the whole picture first and formulate an opinion about it, isn't it? That's also sort of the reason why I held out so long on making a judgment about Kamiki as a character. I knew too little about him to piece things together and believe it or not, I STILL think he's so ambiguous till the very end. It's so strange how this story handles him.

So what did he do? I'd at least like to have some solid info, a clear, real actual flashback about him in order to call him something. It just doesn't stick with me to call someone downright evil when they... What they did is so unclear. That's why I want to know. What I could make out was that he REALLY loved Ai. And that "love" didn't seem like (surprise)the bad sort to me. I still don't know what this guy IS. Are the answers already all out? But I doubt that, we still don't have a clear idea just what was it that's happened around this guy. That's why I've been waiting. If you're going to define someone of something, you at least have to have a clear idea of what they are. If they don't share that in this story, then the authors are being very unfair to him as a character, whether it be him being evil or not, it matters less actually in terms of the plot as long as it makes sense. I want to know what happened. I want to see that. I've been trying REALLY hard to make out of what he is but I need canon to do it before it goes. I hope it takes some responsibility about a character its formed. If what I think is right, then it CAN really set a meaningful message and I'd go in that direction but as I always say, I never know because I am not the author.
