The Elusive Tron Legacy: A Series of Irregular Sequels
Tron, a franchise that has kept us guessing for decades, presents an intriguing question: Which movie stands out as the pinnacle of this unique series?
Let's delve into the world of Tron and explore why this franchise has such an irregular release pattern. The first Tron movie, released in 1982, was a pioneer in its time, but it took a staggering twenty-eight years for the sequel, Tron: Legacy, to grace our screens in 2010. And the wait didn't end there; another fifteen years passed before Tron: Ares hit the theaters.
The early box office numbers for Tron: Ares suggest it might not have lived up to expectations, but here's the twist: Tron movies have never been about the box office smash. They are like slow-burning fires, taking years to ignite and capture the attention of audiences. Yet, their solid catalog value keeps Disney coming back for more.
The Great Tron Debate: Which Movie Reigns Supreme?
Despite their irregular release schedule, the Tron movies have a dedicated fan base. But here's where it gets controversial: Paul Scheer, host of 'How Did This Get Made', recently questioned the entire trilogy's legacy. He argues that the original Tron, often hailed as an eighties classic, might not be as unassailable as some believe. Scheer, who experienced the original as a kid (unlike many of us), wrote a thought-provoking piece on his Substack, admitting he still struggles to 'get' Tron.
So, with this debate brewing, it's time to settle the score. Which Tron movie deserves the crown? I've ranked them all, but now it's your turn, dear readers. Vote for your favorite Tron movie or join the discussion by sharing your thoughts on Scheer's take. Do you 'get' Tron, or are you still trying to unravel its mysteries?
Remember, this is a friendly debate, and we welcome all opinions. So, let's hear your thoughts! Which Tron movie is your favorite, and why? And for those who don't 'get' Tron, what's your take on this unique franchise? The floor is yours!
