    You may have just convinced me to give it a watch. This is the first comment I find on Lemmy stating that the soundtrack was on-point and not shitting on the writing.

      I mean, the writing is still “wE gOtTa Go InSidE tHe CoMpuTeR!” because it’s TRON, lol. But this one’s plot was surprisingly straightforward and devoid of contradictions and inconsistencies.

      The original and moreso Legacy has some absolutely convoluted plot bullshit (especially with the ISO programs) going on that didn’t ruin it or anything (at least for me because I’m mainly here for cool CG and Jeff Bridges) but a more self-aware writing team could have kept it tighter.

      The worst writing of the series was in that short-lived show where they un-self-awarely had Elijah Wood be corrupted by the One Ring. Er, One Frisbee. 🤦‍♀️
