why do they keep trying to make Tron a big franchise
it's fucking Tron it was only popular because boomers didn't know what a fucking computer is
>>
>>215309436
Tron was never really popular though, which is even worse
>>
It's been very funny see normies become SO against Jared Leto that they are coping that a fucking Tron movie actually would of made a ton of money without him.
Delusions upon delusions.

All Trons got popular only after the fact.

Didn't you read the article? Disney needs a "boy brand" that they can sell to. They don't have anything for boys but Tron has always appealed more to men than women, so they keep trying to push Tron.

They own Star Wars and Marvel, can't they just make those for boys like they used to be?

Pretty much. They had it airing super late at night on school days and then cancelled it after one season because not enough kids were watching. The art style is also an acquired taste and I can imagine it put off a fair amount of youngins back in the day.

Almost like "wokeness" serves an important purpose or something

It was popular exactly because people knew what computers were at the time you idiot. Why the fuck do zoom zooms always think nothing existed until they were born, goddamn

It's not about popularity.
It's about IP renewal + tax writeoffs. Nothing more.

Because it has potential to be a big franchise if normalfags weren't so fucking stupid. Disney keeps making one movie per century and not making any supportive media and then wondering why it doesn't do numbers. On top of that, no one is going to theaters right now period so it looks worse than it actually is.

It's a franchise that's completely relevant to real life with tons of story telling potential, but they won't build the scaffolding to support it. If Megaman Battle Network can be the biggest Megaman franchise, Tron can be a big franchise too. If they give up on a sequel again it'll be a stupid mistake because they won't give it a chance to grow.

On top of that, the movie was doomed anyway because stupid fucks see Jared Leto and want to join the groupthink of complaining about him even though he was fine in the movie.

Amongst diehard fans, a vocal minority in retrospect. The original Tron was a box office failure btw.

I saw this movie in imax 3d and thought it was fucking awesome. don't care

Those same boomers are still running the industry, that's why everything in film is recursive these days

>>215309436
They don't "keep trying" the last movie was 15 years ago. Apparently they just wanted to do it. I'd welcome more.
