    It's weird how some properties never seem to take hold despite having both incredible visuals and an engaging story. Also, de-rezzing always looked so much scarier than if the characters bled like humans. It gave a sense of glass-like fragility that made the fights more intense for me.

      Alot of these properties don't take hold because most newly made stuff is barely marketed or advertised well, so no even one knows they exist outside of cult followings. Heck my memory of this show is hanging on by a thread due to glimpses of Uprising on Disney XD, Kingdom Hearts and Tron Legacy. Big companies like Disney rarely ever have faith in media that isn't mainstream.
      The only reason they greenlight and throw money at certain things is in the slim hopes they catch lightning in a bottle and because their multi billion dollar revenue means that they can afford to fuck up and start all over again, so there's no risk.

I think if "Tron Legacy" was never made, and the cartoon was allowed to exist as it's own thing, then it would've done a lot better imo. And assuming the series would've gone on for at least a few more seasons if that was the case, then they could've easily ended the series leading up to a new "Tron" film, that the animated series set up.

      ive been planning this comment for a while. We need to bring this show back. Ending one of the most unique and high quality shows of the last decade on a cliff-hanger and then discontinuing it is so mind blowingly stupid to me. If you go to the tron uprising subreddit you can see fans waiting for some new uprising news for over a decade. With posts as early as last year asking if they should give up hope because of the lack of news or reports. But now is the time. With the reveal of the new lightcycle roller coaster and the news for the third tron movie being released, (as well as some new weird tron based puzzle game apparently coming out?) it seems as if disney is trying to slowly revive tron. I urge anyone brave enough to go on all forms of social media to create an uproar. Show that there are still thousands of people interested in this series. Create accounts, fan pages, edits, posts literally just saying "Bring Back Tron" (especially uprising). There are 3 possible outcomes from this, either 1) Disney hears this and trys to respond in some way, which is a big +. 2) disney is already working on new tron projects and they will see this and possibly tease something as a form of responding. or finally 3) disney does nothing and at least we tried. Please, anyone who is able to do this, I beg of you, show that tron hasn't died yet.

      Я была одержима им очень долгое время и иногда даже переслушиваю саундтреки фильма и мультсериала.
      Причём с каждым пересмотром я подмечала в мультсериале новые интересные детали, а стиль определил мои вкусы. То, как в моей родной стране было тяжело его смотреть в 2012 году. Это отдельная история.
      Я заходила на американские пиратские сайты, чтобы посмотреть версию на английском, спустя 3 дня появлялись субтитры, затем спустя неделю выходил фанатский дубляж серии и уже через пол года официальное подразделение Диснея сделало русский дубляж. Они просто ждали, когда выйдет весь сериал. И я не помню в какое эфирное время он шёл. Но помню, что посмотреть мне его на канале дисней не удавалось.

    I really appreciate that you ended up touching on this show. This series was... well it was everything for me back when it released. It was such a great sci-fi experience that really touched on heroism, legends, and revolution in ways that would eventually become far more common in later works (such as Into the Spider-Verse, Star Wars Rebels, and The Clone Wars' final season, among others) and it really highlighted just how impactful these stories would go on to be for people in some more recognizable franchises than Disney's often forgotten sci-fi gem.
    Also, absolutely agree about the soundtrack (to both the show and Legacy) as the music here is outstanding and really needs to be heard to be believed. It just oozes style in so many ways.

    This is one of those shows that really shows you how much more action matters than word. We can say we love something all we want, but if we can't properly support it, that praise means nothing.
    What really stinks is that broadcast television and streaming services actually make supporting these great shows a lot harder than it should be. The networks and streaming services demand unrealistically high ratings in an unrealistically short amount of time. Often times with minimal or misplaced advertising. Think about it, how many shows do you never know about until you randomly see something about it reblogged, retweeted, or talked about on youtube? Like, entirely too often. I haven't seen a proper TV commercial in years, I don't know what's on Netflix until I turn it on and see what their featured thing is.

    I will also the way they treated Tron as a *charecter* was FANTASTIC, not only with the idea of a charecter as a symbol but tron as a charecter with a disablity.
    His journey is treated with such respect and its so realistic, it's honestly hard to watch some episodes as a person with a disablity.
    The fact that they can make a charecters journey genuinely hard to watch shows just how good this show is at charecters.
    I seriously can't praise it enough
    The moment where Tron refuses his healing tube. When Tron collapses. It's all so....
    I mean it sucks that they got rid of it at the end, bit of an ablist trope but honestly whatever they do SO much with the rest of his charecter that it's fine.

    • @Funky_Player2
      @Funky_Player2 Рік тому +6

      I totally agree! A trope I've come to really hate recently is the one where scarring is used for aesthetic purposes. I.e The Punisher S2, Jessica Jones S2, The Owl House, ect, where the depiction of scarring or some form of disfigurement is usually just surface level, like it feels added just to make a character look 'jaded', or 'pretty' even.
      But TRON: Uprising avoids this entirely! Tron's scars aren't just a visual design choice, they're an integral part of his character's state of being, an underlying health condition that he needs constant medical treatment for.

    One thing you didn't mention is how hard it was pushed at the theme parks! At Disney's California Adventure, the backlot area (now Marvel Land/Avengers Campus) would turn into a huge Tron-themed nightclub and dance party at night. There were face characters, bars, amazing theming, DJs, setups to play Evolution, and an entire 80's garage arcade. It was an amazing event and lasted almost two years.

    So much left unsaid, untouched, and even left behind as the scant few other references and installments outside of the realm of film and TV get disregarded as non-canon (here's looking at you, 2.0). That being said, what we got is still so beautiful and bursting with life and potential. I've been working on writing a tabletop RPG based on Tron and including a lot of the ideas and concepts from every facet into it to mesh with the gameplay. I wanted to do it especially because there's so much room for interpretation in the history of the world, while there's enough already there thanks to the official and fan-made material. It'll probably be another niche way to interact with the world of Tron, but I think it deserves the chance and then some.
    Great video, by the way. Can't blame you for getting that collector's edition of Evolution, though. I missed out completely due to some difficult times in my personal life, but I would have killed to get my hands on that had I known!

Especially since 2010 with Legacy that became my main movie for a long time. I just hope they do another sequel and they get it right!

    Honestly, once again Disney shows us how gloriously they can mismanage quality shows. We saw it with The Owl House, and in some part DuckTales. While I can partially understand their apprehension, with sales being the one thing that makes the world go round, but it's such a shame to see how poorly Uprising was treated. Bill Wolkoff went on record saying that Disney just didn't know how to market the show. He also stated that if Uprising had released 5-6 years later, in the age of streaming, it probably would have seen much more success.
    Not to sound like a clichéd hipster, but it truly was beyond it's time. Even in it's age, Uprising still holds up stylistically. It was a shame that it couldn't come to fruition, or at least tie together the plots left behind by the cancellation.

    Tron: Uprising was such a great show, but like you said, viewership dwindled and Disney basically put it out to die at Monday midnights. I'd love if they could somehow bring it back. With the new Lightcycle attraction in Disneyworld and the new Tron movie, I really hope that it can gain a foothold, because it's a franchise that deserves it.

    Thanks for putting this out, I wrote in a comment back in November asking about this and was surprised that you already had a video planned for January. I can see you are a real fan of the franchise and can relate to your disappointment over its unused potential. It would be great if Disney rented out it's license to the Tron franchise to people who actually want to do something with it so that we could get these threads resolved. I really want to see Paige's redemption, Beck's future, the uprising start, Tesler's defeat, Pavel's comeuppance, and Tron's eventual capture. Also want to know more about that vision Beck and Cyrus had and what it means, more Cyrus would also be good. So much storytelling potential and you know that this creative team will capitalize on every bit of it if given the chance.

  • @swordmonkey6635

    Tron is one of those properties, where most people remember the original movie as "cool" if they saw it when they were growing up (like myself), remembering the cool graphics and tie in arcade game (that brought the action set pieces to a new level).... but when people rewatch it, they realize how boring most of it was. The main character: Tron, isn't even the star of the movie, it's Jeff Bridges. Tron is rose-tinted nostalgia remembered fondly, but when examined under the harsh light of adult or contemporary criticism, it falls apart as being cheesy.
    I watched Tron: Uprising when it was broadcast. I liked the Legacy movie, but wasn't completely crazy about it. The animated show intrigued me and was entertaining in a world building way. It's a show that needed to run if Disney was serious about the Tron franchise. But Disney wasn't serious, they had their eyes on other franchises and IPs (as history attests). Disney could've easily justified just allowing the show to play out and get deep and then bridge completely into Legacy and then branch off into the sequel to Legacy.
    Like I said at the beginning, Tron, the original movie is kind of boring even though it had great ideas. Legacy had great graphics and the story was ok, but it seemed to be trapped by wanting to hold on to nostalgia and moving the lore forward past the obsolete technology of the original Grid of the 1980s. I think Tron as a franchise does better as an animated property than live action. It allows more creative and artistic freedom to show The Grid and characters in a truly creative way. Live action Tron will always fall short to me. Animation (either photo real 3D or like Uprising) is the path they should take.

    I heard about the show when it was announced, but unfortunately, the idea of 2D+3D combination never interested me. Gosh if I only I knew how wrong I'd be. I watched the show a year ago and was blown away by it. It's fricken incredible. Animation, voice acting, and especially soundtrack. Trapanese did an amazing job there. Heck, I like some of his tracks even more than the ones from Legacy.
    Jordan, what do you think about watching and reviewing another underrated show like this which also lasted just 1 season - Green Lantern: the animated series? It was amazing(especially last like 8 episodes or so), but it was cancelled because GL movie didn't do well and toys weren't selling.

    Just like I said in Motorcity review: that, this, and Randy Cunningham were some of my favorite Disney XD shows, with their great animation and action, so it baffles me how Tron Uprising was so short-lived. It baffles me a bit more because when I first watched Over the Garden Wall, I thought Wirt’s voice sounded familiar, and then I looked it up and realized it WAS Elijah Wood, remembering that he also voiced Beck.

    The tron figures were one of the only action figures I ever purchased where the head broke off as I opened the box. So I didn't buy much more merch from that manufacturer (I forget who made them) because they were poorly made. That was a real bummer, and I wonder if that's part of why a lot of the merch didn't sell well, especially the toys.

And I’m happy there will be a Tron movie, just hoping Beck’s story doesn’t get forgotten.

    Tron: Uprising is literally my favourite show of all time. Being a huge sci-fi geek, especially one who loves computers, I always looked at old motherboards and imagined them to be little cities. And when I had learned there was a movie that was basically the same premise, I was immediately hooked. Unfortunate how Disney doesn't seem to care that much about its better IPs. Hell, if I had the money I'd freaking buy the Tron IP from Disney and finish the story myself. I even have a model of the -Rencom 682- Encom 786 Light Cycle.
    Tron was supposed to be Disney's sci-fi IP, but the same year Tron: Uprising premiered, Disney bought Star Wars.
    There are many reasons why I despise Disney now, but them leaving Tron: Uprising on a cliffhanger is most definitely the number one reason why.

    I've been a big fan of Tron since I was a kid and this show is one of my favorite animated shows of all time. It is a shame how abruptly this series ended and how little faith Disney has in this IP. One thing I will say though is this is the series that inspired me to write and direct a motion capture action-packed movie that is like a more mature take on Tron in terms of the genre and setting, but not too mature like Cyberpunk, with an original story, original characters, a larger scope of scenery, and more unique world building elements. If there is so little interest in a franchise like this in terms of the larger audience and Disney doesn't want to take risks and go forward with something as great as if not better than this series was, I'll do it myself.

    I watched both of the movies yesterday, because I want to watch that series, so nice timing from you to upload video about it right now. The Tron from '82 was yesterday my first time watch ever and It was pretty good (sure gonna comeback to watch it again), but Legacy was my first movie Tron and I really love it when it came. The design of that world, music, atmosphere it's great and very creative. Also, I like in general concept of transporting to virtual reality/games in movies or any kinds of media. I remember when I was really waiting for the pilot episode when the Disney XD announce it, and unfortunately this was the only episode that I watched, because they played it very late, but I still remember of existence about that show - so I hope to have the opportunity and finally watch it in near future. Thanks for the video and keep digging another show/movies that we grew up on.
