Ok so

You know how I love to imagine a world where the original copies of all the programs from Tron 1982 get to go on happily doing their jobs and living their lives within the Encom system

(whatever may be going on in that OTHER Grid)…

I like to imagine Tron and Yori and (rerezzed) Ram are all so good at their jobs that they’re kept online permanently as Encom programs, upgrading as needed to keep up with the times, and that this goes on pretty much forever.

(because I want all my sweethearts to live happily ever after, okay!)

But… today I just realized the further implication of that…

The one where… if the events of Legacy still happen…

Sam Flynn is breaking through Encom security on a yearly basis to play pranks

Meaning:

Either he’s regularly defeating Original Tron at the system security game…

…Or… Tron, somehow, is recognizing him and deliberately helping.

…I’m not yet sure what to do with this thought

But it is making me FEEL things
