Legacy is ass. The original is far more unique. I will die on this hill and thats fine. You can dissect each part of my comment but the fact still remains that Tron as an IP is fucking dying because of the choices of it's descendants. "Mass appeal" was apparently not enough. You have to stand for something to be something, not just what you think everyone wants to see, and the original Tron was not trying to be something everyone wants to see.

Yeah that's why most didn't see it.

Idk personally I think both movies are good for totally different reasons. G'day to you
