Hmm. You mean like…

threat to the stability of world politics from the MCP in the first movie

threat to the safety of the User world from Clu in the second movie

…whatever the heck’s supposed to be going on in the third movie

… Hmm.

…Now I’m trying to imagine a Tron movie without a threat to reality.

would that be one where nothing in the User world is threatened at all, only the safety of the computer world itself?

I guess that was Uprising, kinda. (At least, any threats to the User world weren’t ever a major plot point in that)

Or does “threat to reality” include the computer world (because I mean it is real, dammit, even though it’s made of energy and information)

…you know, you’re right. I, too, want a low-stakes program/program rom-com set in the Tron universe.

Or maybe just a porno, where the only stakes are “can our heroes get each other’s horny circuits off” (spoiler. answer is yes)

…luckily I know just where to find that
