Before you head out to see Tron: Ares this weekend, follow me back into the Grid to revisit Tron and Tron: Legacy — one a weird digital relic, the other a neon-lit dream that Disney pulled the plug on. Joseph Kosinski’s Legacy didn’t just update an ’80s classic — it built a world worth returning to. In this video essay, I talk about why Legacy deserves its cult-classic status, how Disney dropped the ball on its sequel, and why Ares already feels like the wrong kind of reboot.
See ya in the Wasteland…
But what are your thoughts on Tron: Legacy and the direction Disney has taken the franchise? Was Ares the right path to plot through the Grid or nah? Let us know in the comments, and we’ll see you there.
