[nokaveman]

looking at Moebius's concept art for Tron always makes me want to explode like rghghghgh how could one man have had this much juice

You think Tron is devastated he shares a name with a cryptocurrency? 🧍‍♂️ identity theft isn’t a joke.

Uprising CLU is “Biggering” and Legacy CLU is “How Bad Can I Be”.

Do you understand my vision

So much of my experience with internet fandom culture has been defining by feeling like I arrived late to the party. It's like showing up and the table's still set, there's food and drinks (the art, fics, and general posts people leave behind) but no one is actually there to talk to and enjoy it with.

I remember being about 12 and finding abandoned forums where people had talked about the stuff I was interested in, and thinking damn, if I'd just been here earlier I could have been part of this, instead of watching the sand blow over it. And then that repeated itself again and again for the next 15 years. People who were the backbone of a small fandom leave, or switch hyperfixations, and all that's left is posts with broken links.

Of course I'm not saying that's wrong or bad, it's just lonely. And I still firmly believe in posting about niche stuff you like even if you're seemingly the only one who cares at the time, because someone else trawling through old posts may find it and enjoy it. But I'd also rather have that person as a friend to share it with in the present.

Tron's a definite competitive sort & he's damn good at the games... Even if he would deny it, we all know the truth. & then Rinzler? Whether he wants to or not, he performs insanely well at every task he's given & has an unblemished win record...

SO I thought about what if you somehow dragged game consoles into the Grid?? Let the program chill out & do what he's best at & play some Pokemon or Mario Bros, you know?

Now here's the boyo playing with game systems that were released close to each of their respective films just for funsies♡

imagine Tron breaking through his repurposing somehow, but choosing to stay at Clu's side anyhow, because of the terrible things he did as Rinzler and the guilt he feels because of it.

Reading the description of Alan as being "well built" in the first script draft of Tron made me think a little about Alan Bradley's physique. Now, of course we can see that Tron is, shall we say, quite the specimen, thanks to Boxleitner wearing that tight suit that shows off his many... uh... assets.

But I think I prefer to imagine that Alan has more of a "skinny nerd" physique, the stereotypical "98-pound weakling". Tron, then, is his ideal self, and not just physically. He is everything Alan wishes he was (and perhaps actually is, though he tries to deny it): Strong, brave, defiant, heroic.

This in turn made me imagine that after Kevin met Tron and returned to the real world, he gets a new-found respect for Alan, seeing that beneath the surface he has many of the same traits that Tron has. Previously their relationship had been antagonistic, but now Flynn takes the initiative that eventually leads to a very strong friendship developing. The kind of friendship that would make someone keep a pager for 20 years.

And maybe Flynn also kept suggesting that Alan should go to the gym, knowing the... uh, potential that was there.
