“the characters in Tron do not act the way real people act”

excuse you. Real people act every possible dumbass incoherent way you can imagine and some that you can’t. Real life consists at least 78% of watching real people do things and then spending about 9 hours straining your imagination trying to think of a reason they could have done that thing which is EXACTLY the same experience as watching Tron

I think what you mean is characters in Tron don’t act the way people in movies act

… I know this might not feel like a good endorsement for Tron if you watch movies as escapism from real people. Which is fair

But personally Tron helped me to learn that I actually LOVE analyzing people’s motivations as a sort of challenging logic puzzle… just so long as I’m not simultaneously being poked with the burning pointy stick of “there is one single objectively correct explanation and if you guess wrong it will cause real harm to real people”
