After returning from a perilous digital realm, Kevin Flynn did what any brilliant video-game developer would do after getting a glimpse of an impossible world: he made it into a game, a game filled with Light Cycle races and deadly disc battles. A game he called Tron.
Review: While this graphic novel will lack a certain appeal for those unfamiliar with Tron and Tron: Legacy, I really feel like it did an excellent job bridging the gap between them. I liked learning more about the ISOs and seeing the way the divide between Flynn and Clu developed.
The only complaints I have are that it was hard to figure out who was talking to whom and that some of the panels seemed slightly jumbled somehow. Other than that, I liked the comparisons between the Grid and Rome as well as all the shades of gray in regards to who precisely was completely wrong and who was right.
The prequel comic, which was written by Jai Nitz, will first be released as a 2-issue limited miniseries in October, with the collected graphic novel coming out on November 17, 2010. Tron Legacy comes to theaters on December 17, 2010.
In a previous post, also about DisneyWorld attractions, I tackled these questions by proposing a distinction between world-telling and what we commonly call storytelling.
But when a work narrates a world, it does something different. It prompts us to combine memory and inference with imagination, to envision the cultures and spaces which shape these events, and in which these events transpire.
Sometimes that plot is affixed to the world of a single attraction, as in the case of the now-closed Splash Mountain ride (view a walk-through here). Sometimes that plot is affixed to the world of an entire land within a theme park, as in the case of Pandora, the World of Avatar (view a walk-through of the park above, and of the attraction, Avatar: Flight of Passage here). In fact, in my previous post on DisneyWorld, I show how the land and the ride conspire to tell a story, and in doing so, they offer visitors a sequel to the 2009 Avatar film. The film and the theme park, when taken together, tell a transmedia story.
The newly opened TRON: Lightcycle/Run (2023) combines the Splash Mountain and Pandora strategies, but its storytelling is far more suppressed than either one. It tells its story within a single attraction, and that story emerges as a sequel to the 2010 film, TRON: Legacy, but the storytelling of TRON: Lightcycle/Run is subsumed under a much more dominant world-telling encounter for the visitor.
For one, the voice actors are well-established and carry the story, and characters. Apart from those who had roles in the Star Wars series, I was aware of Moore from Tangled: The Series, VelJohnson from 3Below, Scheer from Star Trek: Lower Decks, Mara from House of Cards, and Wilde from her many films. I was not familiar with the other voice actors before watching this series, so they were new to me. The voice of Boxleitner, especially, was very defined and I think one of the best voice acting performances of the whole series.
The character of Cyrus symbolizes the antithesis of Beck, in that he is willing to engage in violence and destruction to achieve his goals. These actions are not targeted, but are rather meant to send a message. Although Tron later kills him, he becomes weaker and is on the edge of death. Luckily, Tron is healed in the final episode and barely escapes from being reprogrammed for evil.
Tron: Uprising includes the usual themes of romantic tension. Specifically, Zed is romantically attracted to Mara and becomes jealous of how she strongly supports Beck in his Renegade/Tron persona. This is made worse by Beck, in this persona, taking advantage of Zed, time and again, annoying him even more.
Throughout the series, Mara comes more into her own, first when she is the temporary leader of the garage, and then as the leader of a group of graffiti artists, including herself, Moog and Rasket, known as the Jolly Tricksters. Toward the end of the series, she leads those defending Tron after she realizes that the Renegade cannot be blamed for the death of Able.
The oppression of Clu and his minions is a menace that Beck and Tron are wholly dedicated to resisting, without question. This is noted by Tricia Helfer, the voice of the Grid at the beginning of each episode. Tesler is shown using his words and messaging to try and turn the people of Argon against the Renegade without using any of his loyal lieutenants while declaring that he rules the state.
Tesler is willing to use brutal force against anyone. He de-rezzes those who disagree with him, equivalent to killing them, with his bare hands. He often uses propaganda in an attempt to make fellow programs support his brutality and turn on the Renegade. He is no mere villain. Rather he is cunning and deceitful, with messages that people may latch onto, believing he is speaking on their behalf when he is out for himself. Even so, he can be manipulated by faulty information.
Just like Arcane, which is part of the larger League of Legends franchise, watching the films and video games, or reading the comics of the franchise itself is not needed before watching Tron: Uprising. In fact, I had never watched anything related to the franchise, apart from a 2011 Futurama episode which has a light cycle chase scene referencing the 1982 film and its 2010 sequel.
Currently, there are over 280 fanfics for Tron: Uprising on AO3, often with themes of angst, friendship, fluff, hurt, or comfort. Some of the popular ships on the site are Beck and Tron, as friends, along with Beck/Paige, Tron/Yori, Mara/Zed, Pavel/Zed, Sam Flynn/Quorra, and Beck/Cutler romantically. Of these, the latter appears to be the only popular ship between male characters. Some have also written fics portraying Paige as asexual, and a few writers have shipped her with Quorra, and Radia from Tron: Betrayal and Tron: Evolution, but many more have shipped her with male characters, like Tesler, Pavel, and Beck, instead.
The likelihood of Tron: Uprising of having another season is nil. It is less likely than a possible new season of Sym-Bionic Titan that Gennedy Tartokovsky has floated in the past. This is unfortunate because the show has the potential to be a longer series featuring many parts and chapters, just as series like Disenchantment has done. Even so, some fans have circulated a petition calling for Tron: Uprising to continue.
Tron: Uprising had a rocky airing schedule. It was effectively cancelled by Disney, which never renewed it for a second season, even after Kitsis said that the series needed more viewers. Just like Sym-Bionic Titan, the series was briefly on Netflix from 2013 to 2014, and only recently, in 2019, appeared on Disney+. When the series aired, on Disney XD, from May 18, 2012, to January 28, 2013, it received generally positive reviews.
This tactic is not successful as Mara convinces him that it is wrong. Unlike the aforementioned series, there is a continual power struggle between Paige and Pavel, who are trying to impress Tesler with their plans to take down the Renegade. Pavel, in one episode, even creates a program to falsely accuse someone of being the Renegade to cement his power.
