The Elusive Tron Legacy: A Series of Irregular Sequels
In the world of cinema, few franchises have a timeline as sporadic as Tron. The original, a groundbreaking film for its time, premiered in 1982, leaving fans eagerly awaiting a sequel for nearly three decades. Tron: Legacy finally arrived in 2010, and the recent Tron: Ares has further extended this unique franchise. However, the box office numbers for Ares suggest that the long wait might not have been worth it, at least initially.
But here's the twist: Tron movies have never been about box office success. They're more like hidden gems that take their time to find their audience and generate revenue. Despite not being blockbusters, these films have a solid fan base, and Disney keeps returning to this franchise, perhaps because of its dedicated following.
The question remains: Which Tron movie is the absolute best? It's a challenging debate, as none of them are without flaws. The original, though praised for its innovative nature, wasn't an instant classic with movie enthusiasts. Paul Scheer, host of 'How Did This Get Made,' who experienced the original as a child, recently questioned the trilogy's legacy, sparking an intriguing debate.
So, which Tron movie takes the crown? I've ranked them, but now it's your turn. Vote for your favorite Tron film, or join the discussion by sharing your thoughts on Scheer's take. Do you 'get' Tron, or is it a series that leaves you scratching your head?
And this is the part most people miss: It's not just about the movies; it's about the journey and the impact they've had on fans. So, let's celebrate the Tron franchise and its unique place in cinematic history!
