Ok fictional idea based on ending of movie and possible secondary story for Tron 3.


What IF...


Quorra's presence in the real world has a bad side effect. Not only does she find that she become infected with real world viruses, having never had to confront them before, but that within her they mutate and spread, adding a 'digital' component to the real virus, which spreads throughout the human population.

Now with this platform for ideas of what the result is, lets explore one possibility, feel free to add your own scenarios or ideas:

I like the idea that somehow the Real World and Tron World become almost as one, much like Air and Water is now (we breath air but must drink water to survive).

So what if the virus causes its hosts some very bad problems (death?), and people MUST enter Tron world in order to live, but then they can't always live just in that world because computers must be maintained, the body sustained, etc.

What if humanity becomes like the Borg, where people exist in the real world but then go back to their alcove and 'plug - in' to Tron world.

Or maybe humanity becomes like the binars, the virus enabled Human-to-Human digital communications and humanity becomes absolutely dependent on computers.

I'd like to see Tron (4) set 100 years into the future where time and technology have melded the Computer world and the Real World into one cohesive union. This could probably be done without the virus, I just see that as a way as speeding up/forcing the symbiosis.

Based on the reaction to her, I think it'd be easy. She'd say, "You are now all my slaves!." And half the population would come running with their tongues hanging out and saliva dripping onto the ground.

Drones a plenty.

Very interesting..
but me and Gem.. will be sure to Erase the program!

But seriously it would make no sense
for her to do that as she is "good" ISO...
But if she did turn evil.. I'm sure Gem wouldn't mind
derezzing her! lol just kdding...

Master C, Clu.. they were about destorying and having slaves...

Tron was always about fighting the system..
and gaining.. freedom..

I think most likely... they will do what Kevin Flynn dreaming..
which was to learn the secret of her perfect DNA...
to cure all human illness etc..

The problem with that is that if you develop cures for all the human illnesses, when new ones crop up, humans will have no defense against them. Like what happened to the Native Americans when the English settlers came. The settlers brought diseases that the Native Americans had never encountered. As such, many of them died from illnesses that the settlers had developed immunities to.

The bigger problem is that if you cure all illnesses and no one dies...we are in population trouble damn quick. Everybody wants to be hanging out with great-great-great-grandma forever, but they also want to have four kids themselves...

Everybody wants to be hanging out with great-great-great-grandma forever, but they also want to have four kids themselves... Don't even get me started on human selfishness. Forget global warming, pollution, or wars: all it'll take to destroy humanity is for them to continue breeding.

We weren't discussing that other stuff. We were talking about curing all diseases and such, which would be a contributing factor to overpopulation. I never said the others weren't bad things. They simply weren't part of the discussion, though you could argue that the root cause of all of them--or one of the root causes--may well be overpopulation as well.

BUT... overpopulation is only a problem in the Real World. What if everyone at a given age must enter the Tron World (Kinda like Logan's Run).

Gee, that sounds like what the Nazis did. First they sterilized those who were 'not contributing to the overall wellness of the healthy population' and it eventually escalated to the Death Camps and such. A very slippery slope there.

What do you do when the choice is either "Stop Breeding or self-destruct" ?
