the TRON cycle is that a movie gets made and it flops bc it's boring and sucks but it looks cool and has a sick score. then 15 years later somebody goes "but it's a cult classic. let's make another one" so a movie gets made and it flops bc it's boring and sucks but it looks cool and has a sick score

Yup. I think we might get to the point of diminishing returns with TRON as the actual TRON cycle breadwinner just because I am not sure if there is a lot to do with the aesthetics of TRON as it is that we haven't seen before. Like Legacy gave new identity to it but Ares seems to ape that a lot?
Like, the visual style is beginning to become less novel and while I haven't seen Ares, I don't know visually if it is doing something interesting that hasn't been done before. Music is still dope though. But it's NIN so is that really a benefit of the movie???

Tron 1+2 were entertaining movies and did not suck.
