I'm happy about Lora being alive, but I'm not happy that they seem to have outright denied that Tron 2.0 ever existed at all despite the fact that TL shares the same plot elements from Tron 2.0.

A little acknowledgment wouldn't hurt.

(ps, needs more Mercury and Jet Bradley!)

This. I could live with this!

I think 2.0 can still exist.

It takes place in a series of systems at ENCOM, not Flynn's server. Legacy takes place all in that same little server where the first film occurred.

Lora was presumed dead, but exists in the form of MA3A, so in between the events of TRON and Legacy where the 2.0 world exists she could have been rescued from the grid she was in.

There is no real reason that Jet cannot exist at the same time as Sam.

I think the 2.0 world can be part of the TRON canon with a little bit of work. Unfortunately, I doubt it ever will.

I'd love to see our super-cycle go up against one of these new lightcycles!

In "Tron: Betrayal" ; Tron refers to "where he comes from" (indicating he's not originally from that system, so one can assume Flynn uploaded him from the ol' 511), and the official Tron Legacy site's "ride a light cycle" game, one of the energy orbs when picked up has a pop-up message refering to an "Encom 7-1-1" that Flynn used for creating "The Grid".

Hmm. I see a CLU here. The ENCOM Seven Eleven? Did they just name this after the famous store chain? LOL.

Or rather Castor's 7-Eleven for programs and ISOs. I can see Clu walking in after a bike ride shopping for energy drinks and some digital donuts.

If Flynn's cycle counts as one of the new lightcycles... http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=106579 Can't find a download link atm but I know someone ported over the Super Lightcycle model, as well. As far as the canons go, I think that trying to work TRON 2.0 into the canon at this point would be a complete mess. I think 2.0 and Legacy both have amazing stories, but they should stand on their own as separate canons. Maybe we can see 2.0 expanded in the future as some kind of "alternate universe" thing?

I have to agree but never played the PC game. I'm aware of the storyline of TRON 2.0 and the comic version. It's that I have a hard time believing the progression from Flynn being the first human into the digital world and then Alan Bradley and Jet are next. If I'm not mistaken, didn't Alan Bradley digitize himself in there to learn about that world before Flynn s supposedly retired? It just made no sense since Flynn would have to be severely traumatized by the experience not to talk to anyone about it. Of course, it's a Disney film and I understand that portrayal of Flynn as a laid back positive dude with a daredevil attitude.

The idea of Flynn and Alan in Legacy returning made more sense to me.

TRON 2.0 is an amazing product. Don't get me wrong.

From what I've seen in this the two were two different computers. Which explains why TRON 2.0 follows the look of the original movie more closely than in Legacy. Different computers, different legacy codes, different looks.

In both stories, Flynn disappears around 1990. I think there was a message or so from Flynn after that, but even in TRON 2.0 Flynn is gone.

TRON 2.0 takes place in 2003 correct? TRON Legacy takes place in 2010.

Jet could have had his adventures with Encom, and Lora rescued long before Legacy takes place.

It is possible that Jet and Sam never meet, though unlikely. It seems the difference in age that Jet would have been like an older brother to Sam if Alan introduced the two, and since Alan was a volunteer dad for Sam, this might be more the case. Though honestly, the next question is, how would have Sam and Jet gotten along?

Sam lost both parents and grand parents, and seemed an angry rebellious kid. Jet at least had his father. I almost see those Jet (would I would imagine would be like 5 years older than Sam) would see him as a bratty angry kid. Jet seemed a bit better adjusted, probably had his own friends, and would see Sam in passing but that was about it.

Well, bottom line, I think what we are getting at is TRON 2.0 and Legecy would be like two ships passing at this point. Two different computers, two different (yet similar) stories.

Now... interestingly enough, IF Sam takes that SD card with Flynn's server information and integrates it into the current Encom computer.....

And that would be a great way to integrate both stories, and have some wonderful build up for a third movie.

To be honest, I thought that Tron 2.0 was more cannon than Legacy, but then it's not us who decide...

The science of the laser was explained in Tron and continued in Tron 2.0. Tron followed ( somewhat ) real world physics. So did 2.0. Legacy doesn't understand the first law of thermodynamics...



So many years ago, I didn't like the ending of Tron 2.0 and so ended up giving up a year,month,week and day of my life to an effort to address the source of my unhappiness. ( And I come back once every six months since then )

But I really didn't like what the sequel did to the storyline either... Anyway, It's been too long since I've shown up and I don't remember the policy for spoilers so I won't discuss it

But to the guys who created 2.0? Thankyou. Yours was the real homage and recognition of the Tron world.

And what the heck, I still enjoyed the movie... Lots of pretty eye candy

I thought TRON 2.0 as a playable sequel was a very good follow-up to the 1982 film.

Alas, yes, it's apocryphal now.

Still one heck of a fun game!

Perhaps from Flynn's particles? lol.

Either way, as far as the science is concerned, it's hard to explain how our original theory worked anyway....not saying it's a bad idea of how it works, but I think we have to be open to the fact that we don't know 100% how the laser works or works now....

But I might say, an explanation to how it does work would be nice. xD

David1 Wrote: In Tron and 2.0, the laser didn't open a "portal" between worlds or anything like that. It just suspended the user's atoms in the beam - They existed in a digitized state. What happened inside the computer wasn't real per-se.

I believe that is interpretive language. The area where one comes in and out of the computer from the vantage point of being inside the computer needed a name and since Flynn had created the system and the shrank down the size of the Laser considerably I feel "Portal" is fine. The actual computer was not just a computer but an intended destination.
