A sentient program makes it out to the real world?  That’s literally the end of Legacy.  They’re replacing Olivia Wilde with Jared fucking Leto?  Is that what Disney thinks Tron needs, some fucking Morbin’ Time?  JFC.

Plus Cillian Murphy, the guy they set up in Tron: Legacy as the next big bad, is starring in one of the biggest movies of 2023 and will likely get an Oscar nom out of it... and is nowhere to be seen here.

I hate how relevant this statement is for me. Granted, Tron is barely a franchise in terms of movies, but watching Disney continue to squander the potential of this world across most media platforms just crushes me.

I am baffled at the studios that keep giving Jared Leto lead roles.

This is such a weird-ass project. So you’re Disney, and thirteen years ago you release Tron: Legacy, and it’s a pretty good movie. Its story was nothing new, but the production design and soundtrack is still chef’s kiss. The movie doesn’t exactly light the box office on fire, so they’re apprehensive to make a sequel, b…

Jared Leto? How is this man still getting cast? Has he been in *anything* good? Has *he* been good in anything?

I mean, I liked him as Angel Face in Fight Club, but that’s exclusively because Edward Norton beats his face to a bloody pulp in a scene that becomes intentionally disturbing in its level of violence, but…

How does Jared Leto keep getting work?

I feel like with Jared Leto, Maleficent 2 director and no Daft Punk, this movie has an uphill battle. If anything it might make people realize that Tron: Legacy is actually an underrated movie.

Well, it’s Texas, so any laws and regulations beyond “can you hold a gun?” would help.

It’s strange! As everyone knows, guns are magically-enchanted objects and can only be used by the pure of heart! And yet, this woman was able to use a gun to commit a wrong? That shouldn’t be possible!

Somebody needs to explain how a "good guy with a gun" could have prevented this.

HEY YOU KNOW WHAT MIGHT BE COOL AND WOULD STOP SHIT LIKE THIS? BANNING GUNS.

“Copas is from Kentucky, so she was unaware...”

i mean you americans are known to be bad at geography but damn

Not mentioned in this story: Copas is from Kentucky, so she was presumably unaware that El Paso is a border town and signs for Juarez just mean that you’re in El Paso, not that you’re on the way to have your 48-year-old organs harvested, or whatever nonsense she inhaled from cable news.

True.

The problem with the Snyderverse:

You’re right, it felt like 8 hours of sepia tone.

Regardless of the competition, what Spiderverse accomplished here is pretty impressive: it’s very rare for a movie to reclaim the #1 spot after losing it, let along during the crowded summer season, and especially not after nearly a month of release.

Should have been called “Gleaming the Cubers”
