You might enjoy Tron Legacy better if you think of it as a sci-fi retelling of Alice Through the Looking Glass.

but why do this with Legacy, when the 1982 movie has

Alice in Wonderland / Through the Looking Glass Patterns recognized: "Stranger and stranger" / "Curiouser and curiouser" Multiple familiar things "mirrored" on the other side Protagonist comes in with wide array of skills/knowledge and is eager to flaunt this However, usefulness of knowledge is variable within new world (Flynn's videogames not as easy on this side of screen / Alice's memorized poetry keeps coming out different) Villains based on games • Sark = Queen of Hearts could very easily be redrawn as this character (red-on-white theme) (Card Sark?) Forces subjects to play games (croquet/jai-alai) "Off with her head!"/ "immediate deresolution!" Requires (roses/circuits) to be "painted red" to avoid wrath • MCP = Red Queen Red and cylindrical Chess-themed origin Is at the other end of the game and difficult to reach When reached, player transforms from pawn to queen/ruler/ CEO Ability of character to change size but only for villain during final battle? Weak connection) (incidental but probably irrelevant pun: Alan in 1-derland)ALT
