  • You got me, I wasn’t stating facts just opinions and fee fees. Maybe it is just me, who thinks of the original when I hear Tron, and not Legacy. Now, we can play the gross profit game all day but a lot of factors changed in daily life from 1982 to 2010. Including inflation. 1 dollar in 1982 is like 2.26 on 2010 money. We also see Disney gaining am unfathomable reach, with Tron Legacy releasing worldwide and in China, while Tron only released in 1000 or so American theaters. Is that a fair comparison? Enough to call me out as brazen and bat shit? Not really. I mean Tron was Disney’s highest grossing live action film for five years. It was nominated for multiple awards. I just dont believe your analysis takes in all facets surrounding the original release compared to the sequel. Quite literally a different production level with less interesting visuals, less unique, and just about the same sort of confusing story. If we could have some sort of comparison where people are exposed to the two and vote on it, you’d find the original has a lot of merit and is far more focused in scope than Legacy.
