one of many many delightful bits of RANDOM WTF CONFUSING
in this bizarre movie
so Tron and Yori walk past these… whoever they are
and there’s a little dialogue

I’m not completely sure if these phrases (“inoperative data pushers” and “control programs”) are both answers to the same question.
And either way, there are so many interpretations for what the heck any of that could even MEAN.
Why are they Inoperative?
Do they… not work?
Are they not actually “pushing data,” whatever is meant by that?
Or is “data pushing” what they do when they can’t be “operative” in the way they are supposed to?
like becoming a drug dealer ‘cause you lost your job?
is their Inoperative status the reason why they do not look like Users?
Nobody is Operating them
they are not Usable
they HAVE no Users so they… degrade to the point of not looking like anyone
?
And… if they are also “control programs”…
is this “control” in the sense of “the part of a study where nothing actually is done, so you can compare it to the part where you DO something”
is it, in this sense, a SYNONYM to “inoperative”?
and if so, in WHAT the hell study are they acting as the control group
…OR
are they control programs in the same sense as THIS GUY

hahahahhomfg that was the VERY wrong search result but i’m laughing so hard i’m keeping it ROFL
….nah i mean
i mean him
ALT
do they not look like a User for whatever same weird reason the MCP does not look like a User
are they, like
the Minion Control Programs to his Master Control Program
and if so
why are they Inoperative
is he that hilariously incompetent
did he not pay them enough and they’re Quiet Quitting
who KNOWS
there ARE NO ANSWERS
I LOVE THIS MOVIE
A while ago I speculated that the Automata in Tron Identity might be related to the MCP somehow, among other things because they’re implied to have non-humanoid “true forms” when not interacting with other ISOs.
Now I’m wondering if the Automata might look something like the Data Pushers. Or if the Data Pushers are of the same belief as the Automata, that Users are just a myth and that it’s degrading to try to look like Users, that you should intentionally take a totally weird and different shape instead (again, perhaps to imitate the MCP).
Basically I just wish that the Identity sequel will reveal that Sierra actually looks like Lightbulb Guy, or Snout Creature.
