The chairman just seemed to bend over backwards and accept what Dillinjr had to say. They all seem to just accept the idea to say it was all "part of the plan" it shows how much weight his opinion carries. I agree that he seems to have this aloof attitude with the others almost as if he has better things to do, and how he casually makes a call when the rest are panicing. It just says to me he's playing ball until he is chairman.

Oh, yeah. I have a feeling the dude's real smart. A lot smarter than his old man. And my favorite part? He just decides when HE'S done with the meeting and walks out. He just... gets up and walks out, doesn't give a shit. I love that. Now that I think of it, I wonder if he's got Mackey's number somewhere, which may be part of the reason Mackey puts up with him.

I usually see him and Sam as mirrors of each other. I think I argued once somewhere here that they could've easily kept the "Legacy" idea and made the film about Dillinjr rather than Sam. I mean, think about it-- we've got this guy who works for Encom, wants to make amends for his dad's asshattery. Then, hell, we get a cameo in a scene or two from this rich upstart kid with an attitude but no direction, who's trying to sabotage the company Dillinjr's working so hard for, and... oh yeah, I could run with that.

Shit, I could run with it big-time. By the end, you'd cheer for Dillinjr and hate that Flynn kid, if I wanted to take it that way. (I'd love to write it, just to throw everyone for a loop, but wow that's a way bigger project than I want to mess with any time soon. Say you take Dillinjr, who's trying to do right by the company after his dad... the Digitization project is still ongoing, complete with Lora [Gibbs may've retired, he may still be some sort of outside advisor]... Dillinjr gets into it because he thinks it'll send the company skyrocketing to the top... rezzes in for some reason... adventures ensue. If you wanna add Sam we could do it one of two ways: 1. Dillinjr ends up have to work WITH him, perhaps for access to some kind of code Flynn had that can repair a problem [this is the kinder, gentler, softer version], or to really twist it, 2. Sam's bitter against the company 'cause of his dad and will do anything it takes to bring it down... Or, shit, if you want, let's say it's Mackey who's guilty-as-sin corrupt, and he figures that with Dillinjr's daddy being who he is, Dillinjr's the same way... only maybe Dillinjr's a bit more Tron than he is Sark and... yup.)

I mean, you've read this, right? http://tron-sector.com/forums/default.aspx?a=top&id=438403 Kind of my ideas of what Dillinjr's thought process might be during the meeting. (It pretty much makes almost every argument I make for him. And what's more... it works. Disney could throw most viewers for a loop if they wanted to)

I still agree that Dillinger Jr should'nt be a villain because that would be retreading old ground. I think if they're smart, they could change the focus around. Legacy was about Sam finding his father and bringing him home. Now, Tron 3 could be about Dillinger Jr going into the Grid and maybe FIGHT against his despotic father who's mind is now embedded into the digital world and his physical body is dead (not far fetched if you think of Ghost in the Shell, etc) while Quorra guides him around with Sam on the outside ready to pull them out or beam in as 'back up'.

Legacy: Son wants to find his father because of his great respect and love for him.

Tron 3: Dillinger Jr. goes to the Grid to step in and do the right thing. A new hero. Instead of a Flynn, have a Dillinger be the one. Sam was the Grid jockey in this one whereas Dillinger would'nt be that physically imposing but more of a brainy hacker type (aka Zed but much sneakier and resourceful).

Or both of them go in the Grid. I suspect Koz's mention of Empire was probably the tone for 3rd film and that the Programs or CLU (or MCP/Dillinger Senior) wants to bring Quorra back into the Grid. It is possible that Quorra could have a hidden code inside her that CLU secretly embedded in as a sabotage trigger to control her from within. Maybe Dillinger Senior as MCP.

Still, Legacy's ending needs to be addressed FAST and cleanly but also in an intelligent manner to steer Tron 3 back in the right direction. I do not want to see Programs running around in the real world or I'll lose respect for Disney, UNLESS they have an absolute good reason to do it, otherwise holographic programs make a lot more sense than physical.
