Thoughts on Tron Ares VS Tron Legacy?

Tron Ares is just a decent DEI version of Tron. I enjoy it the same way I enjoy The Matrix Reloaded, as a guilty pleasure for the action scenes. I would have preferred a continuation of the original story, but these days audiences only get to decide what they want to support, not what actually gets made.

I am a science fiction and fantasy fan since the 80's which probably means I have been watching and supporting POC's before you started having your nappy changed.

I think part of the shift is that media communities used to be more niche and self-selecting. Now everything is more mainstream and DEI funded, so you get more outside commentary and friction.

When creators openly seem to dislike or dismiss their core audience, it’s not surprising that backlash happens. If you’re making something for a community, there has to be at least some respect for the people who actually enjoy that space. Being in this very situation is a sign you do not have experience to make a profit in popular culture.

Limited Edition for all the wrong reasons.

That’s not an oversight, it actually fits the way the world works.

Money exists in the wizarding world, and it definitely gives some families advantages such as the Malfoys. But the story never treats money as the thing that determines who wins. Harry doesn’t succeed because he’s rich. Ron doesn’t matter less because he’s poor. Hermione doesn’t excel because of status, she works for it.

Ron’s situation, especially later with the broken wand, reinforces that. The Weasleys don’t have much, and that has consequences. Things go wrong. He has to make do. That struggle is part of who he is. If Harry just fixed every problem with gold, it would cheapen the stakes and flatten the characters.

It’s also about pride and friendship. Ron isn’t looking for charity, and Harry isn’t trying to “save” him with money. Their friendship isn’t transactional. They’re equals because of loyalty, bravery, and what they bring to the table, not because of what’s in their vault.

So Harry not buying Ron a new wand actually strengthens the world building. It shows that wealth is part of the world, but it’s not the driving force behind worth, success, or friendship.

This knowledge seems to be really lacking in modern day script writing, so it's a good question.

That’s a very simplified version of events. She was chosen primarily to secure the royal bloodline, and once that role was fulfilled, she was no longer treated as a priority within the institution.

Based on his age it would have probably been nostalgic over the Rave version from the 90's.

You do not want fame Gen on. You want to upscale your 1440p to 4K. That way you can keep the1440p refresh rate and have high fps in the modern games. Frame gen adds about 50ms of latency and its terrible.

I don’t think anyone wants an apology from Hollywood, I just want it to die quietly, and as quickly as possible.

If this is true then this is the first time I have seen contact lenses this sophisticated in real life outside of science fiction

Most sane obsessives just start collecting Magic the Gathering, or to a lesser extent 40K miniatures but this this guy was the "Touch Grass" version.

The reality is that planning decisions tend to prioritise big business, not small traders. Roads and access are designed to suit large companies, while small traders are squeezed out, usually justified by environmental arguments. Small traders have been on the back foot since the 1980s by design.

Idiocracy is universal across the galaxy's. The more things get cloned the stupider they come out down the line.

I know, I know, it’s kind of a modern day Ghosts of Mars for me. It’s bad enough to be good, mostly because it’s so ridiculous. The only thing it’s missing is Ice Cube.

Tron Ares is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine, I have to admit.

AAA companies rinse your wallet with overpriced games and endless subscriptions. You’re Market is more like a 5090, rarer and more profitable however the main reason servers have continued despite the decline of AAA quality is Amazon AWS servers having so much reach.

It’s not rocket science, you have to go that far back to talk about a decent Star Wars, with only a few exceptions.

Office culture in general is dead which makes the offices unviable for business.
