tron 1982 is a supremely weird movie but the hardest part to suspend disbelief for is that if the CEO illicitly gets rich off stealing your creative work, you just need to provide 1 piece of hard evidence that this happened and then you are the new CEO
It’s the Tron equivalent of the Battle of Endor.
“Welp, they blew up the Death Star, I guess we have to surrender.”
“But we still have a huge fleet of Star Destroyers, we could keep fighting!”
“Nope, Palpatine’s dead, they won. Nothing we can do about it.”
Yes! All this exactly
And it’s even more surreal to watch this during the Hollywood strike, getting reminded each day that Disney is basically an amalgam of Dillinger if he kept fighting and the Sith if they kept fighting…
(still cannot believe Disney had anything to do with that movie)
