Tron: Uprising

[Havok]

I didn't remember a thread about this, but I just watched it and I really liked it.

The tone was cool and the music was great. The lead, Beck isn't overly angsty. The CGI and character designs are slick.(except for the abnormally high crotches)

I was really looking forward to seeing how Clu ensnares Tron and what happened to Beck, but I guess there is no season 2 in the works, although it hasn't been cancelled.

Anyway, has anyone else seen it? Thoughts?

I watched the first couple of episodes back when it was airing, but fell behind. It was actually pretty cool. Some good use of Legacy's visual design, so it looked really stylish. Some of the writing was really predictable though, like the female bad guy really being good underneath etc.

I didn't see the point of having a white suit for Tron except purely to make it more identifiable to viewers not familiar with previous Tron works. That bit jars with Tron Legacy.

Though there is some forward movement of the plot, the series suffers from some of its "filler" episodes having to essentially restore or not change the status quo. Thus the character development is at times stalled such as the romantic subplot. So the plot movement in the series is staccato with a few episodes jerking the plot forward while others keep it static.

The animation is good but I don't like the character proportions.

Overall though I wouldn't mind a continuation of it, if only so we could fill in the gap before Legacy.

Well Tron is a carry over from the previous grid and he had the grey/white outfit there. In Legacy he is in black. I don't see what the issue is.

As to the series, it needs to fill quite the gap as Flynn has to age twenty years until Legacy pics up. I expected status quo, but I like how they handled it. The slow takeover of the grid has a much more sinister feel to it than if it just all turned "Red" like a reverse Tron.

I watched it on Netflix over the last week and enjoyed it immensely. Hoping for a second season, somehow. When it was originally on Disney XD it was apparently getting bumped around on the schedule and I never finished it. It definitely gets better as it goes on so stick with it if you've given up. Glad I gave it another shot.

There is a scene that appears in both Legacy and Uprising, specifically the bit where Clu revolts. In Legacy, Tron is wearing black. In Uprising, the same scene is shown with Tron wearing white.

Has there been a definitive answer as to whether or not Uprising has been cancelled? There haven't been any new eps out for a while but I haven't seen a press release or official notice that it's been scrapped

True, I guess you can chalk it up to Flynn misremembering? Obviously a computer program is going to remember it correctly.

And no explicit word on the continuation of the series.

*Sigh*

First Earth's Mightiest Heroes, then TCW, now this. I hope Avengers Assemble starts getting better soon, or i'll have nothing to watch on weekends
