Honestly, I prefer Tron remain as it is
Untouched, uncorrupted, with Tron Legacy being left as the underrated gem that it is.
I legit dont want the rat to EVER touch it...
Tron 3 would be great to me (loved the OG and legacy even back then) but I know that the chances of it to be good would be a little to none.
Yeah, I do considering RLM both crystallized general hate towards the Prequels and indirectly provided suggestions to JJ and crew that led to the practical effects meme in TFA. The too much CGI claim came from them and we know that's it's false in TPM. Those guys are caught up in how "bad" the CGI is when CGI in the early 2000s was in its infancy and it does require experimentation to perfect new methods of filmmaking. They also ignored how utterly reductive their own criticism of the PT was, which led to no politics at all in the Sequels which led to massive confusion. Call Rian a Roundhead all you want; it's easy to confuse the Resistance with the Rebel Alliance given how TFA depicted them.
Unlike many here, I still LIKE RLM (dont love them tho) and I will be the first one to say that there are wrong/misguided a lot of the times and they didnt exactly have always the best influence of internet culture. They are peak boomer at its boomerness, hell, they are more trekkies than star wars fans.
I legit think the prequels were just an easy target for ridicule and early internet culture was always (and still is in a way) all about easy targets and just milk the shit out of that (hell, look at the Snyderverse for a more modern example). They were different and with some legit, altho very exaggerated, flaws so they went all for it.
@The handsome tard
Where? All the villains in the PT are pretty damn clear. Their greater qualities are either vaguely alluded to or saved for the content outside of the movies and none of them stop you from clearly seeing who the villain is.
I have meant is that we can say that the CIS are the bad guys but, think about it, outside of Sideous' obvious manipulation, what they were asking by itself was pretty reasonable.
Doesnt help we see that the Republic is dripping with corruption and bureaucracy, the senate being mostly composed of bickering selfish cowards who only want whats best for themselves. The system clearly wasnt doing its job. The CIS was, in theory, a reasonable response for a system that was falling apart.
We know Palpatine is the ultimate villain but in temrs of factions, both werent in the wrong nor right fully and thats the type of moral ambiguity Sideous was taking advantage upon. He knew what buttons to push on a societal level. Sideous took advantage of a cause that would otherwise be kind of well intended if we didnt know who was behind it.
The Republic did really horrible things during the war, hell, the clone army is a logistics nightmare if we apply IRL logic to it. At least the CIS are using lifeless droids to do the fighting but the republic is more than okay in throwing sentient life into the war grinder. Dont even get me started on how shaddy the clone army being around conveniently when the "other side" had an army of its own in the works (and no one questioned...apparently).
We know The Empire was bad from even an ideological level and yada yada but the PT at least tried some idealogical ambiguity.
Instead of centuries of low to medium level conflicts, Palpy ripped the bandages off and reformed the Republic by fixing the root causes of the Republic's shittiness. He brought about his own problems, but that's always the trade-off in politics.
I guess if Palpatine truly was as benevolent as he tried to make himself to be, The Empire might have been the preferable option between that and a decaying republic.
I guess normies could say corporations don't act like governments, but as any 7-11 store clerk can tell you, corporations sure love telling people what to think, what to wear, what to say, and whether you can be armed or not.
Good thing companies controlling the route of politics is truly something only for the realms of fiction.................................................................
Alex Jones was right, these movies do make sense to an inquisitive mind. If you're lazy, they aren't and that's why the Sequel trilogy overcorrected by removing politics from the equation.
I feel like the former can look beyond the mediocre stuff and look at the grander narrative being told and see the frightening paralels between fiction and the real world.
The latter is like "yoo, this shit is boring as fuk, where is my lightsaber fights?! This isnt Star Wars"
