for those who are not face-blind in a way that gets exponentially compounded by movies that cover the actors’ hair and remove all the color from their faces, LOL
…okay
so
here is the guy Sark beats at lightcycles, in the opening scene of TRON 1982
aaand
here is the guy Flynn beats at lightcycles in the scene where he breaks out of the game grid
…do you think this is the same guy???
‘cause I kinda do, but then I honestly suck at recognizing faces. i am a pattern recognition program but not THAT kind of pattern recognition (honestly I think facial recognition is something no programs OR humans are nearly as good at as they claim, BUT that’s a topic for another day)
but anyway, if they are the same…
does this mean Sark decided to let him live after that first match, on the condition that he would convert to Red? (in that case a very unlucky guy, doomed to get destroyed at lightcycles twice, once by each side in the war)
or… perhaps they were two different programs by the same programmer? (also cursed to be unlucky, I guess)
