I'm surprised by how few people on even on Tron Sector are interested. I think that if it were a video game or a movie, even a fan made movie, more people would be enthused. As a comic though...

It would be interesting to do your Tron comic poll on the front page of this site.

I was equally shocked back when I was in charge. I should say I was flabbergasted by the low market interest and low pre-orders.

I love SLG and I think they're doing a fine job, I don't blame the fans either. I think that Tron is a strange beast, its the last of its kind and no one really knows how to properly feed it.

Just about all the other Disney properties that have successful merchandise lines, are successful because they have a recent film or TV show. Media exposure. If Disney had filmed a Tron sequel first and then released products, you can bet those products would have been a lot more successful. I'm betting there are still a significant number of casual fans who are completely clueless about the fact that games and comics have been released. Disney is not marketing Tron whatsoever. The closest they came to a big push on Tron, was the 20th Anniversary DVD release. A little off-topic, I know. Sorry.

Tron is a strange beast, its the last of its kind and no one seems to know how to properly take care of it.

I think SLG is doing the best they can so Im not slaming them in any way. They've succeeded where I failed.

Remember that Tron was not a financial success back in 82, it made a zilion computer geeks smile in awe, but the movie failed at the box office, regardless of the reasons. The only thing that worked for Tron is the arcade game.

I would love a Tron sequel, but then again there's 99% chances it would suck for being too far removed from the original material. Just look at Tron 2.0, is there anybody who genuinely likes the storyline ? We love the game because it looks like the movie, but most Tron fans wishes in secret that the storyline were more connected to what we want. Less real-world drama and more electronic world action. The simplicity of the movie has been lost in Tron 2.0 with complex corporate machinations.

Its kinda like Transformers, most Transfans want more robot action-stories and less puny-humans interactions.

Don't get me wrong, I watch the movie many times a year still to this day. Like many others movies from the 80s it brings me a sense of confort, peace and satisfaction that new movies just can't deliver.

But as far as Tron 2.0. and re-inventing what was perfect the first time... I'll quote DeNiro in Casino : "Why change a good thing"

Cheers

I have to confess...I haven't read the comic yet myself (hides). But in my case it's not to do with being a younger than Generation-X fan...I was alive when the movie came out. (I didn't SEE it until ten years later, but I existed in the universe.) It's simply because I don't buy many comics in general. Now, for something special like this, _sure_, but because I don't buy many comics, I haven't been to the comic store near me in a LONG time. So that's why I didn't know about it.

...until I came to this site...

As for why it took me so long to get here, well, I tend to have things that I love _in general_ forever once I know them, but my periods of actual enthusiasm (to where I want to talk to other fans, draw artwork, look up everything I can find related to the subject, etc.) come and go, so I just recently got back into FANNISH Tron fandom again. That's why I didn't see this place until now. I totally would've loved it had I known about it earlier, though. :P

But you want to know another reason why, perhaps, a fan-made game or video would be more popular? Not just because it uses newer technology...no. Because since it's online, it's more _easily available_. On-line usually doesn't require money--which is something I definitely DON'T have right now--and you can get it by sitting at your computer desk. That's why. Really, the main reason that's keeping me from getting the comic at the moment is lack of fundage. But if somebody made something that I could look at by simply clicking a link, why, then, I probably would. (shrug)

Anyway. Stopping output operations...*

*I have a tradition on other forums of sometimes saying "Shutting up now..." at the end of a long post--kind of humourously acknowledging that yes, I know I'm long-winded. Stopping output operations would of course be the digital-world equivalent. order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Or until Kingdom Hearts III come.

Maybe they'll do a 50 year special when everybody who seen it in theatres is dead.

I'd only be 62. I hope that's not beyond the life expectancy of people in the future

Clavet Wroteisney never knew how to properly market Tron, they didn't know then and they don't know now. They'll just sit on it until Kingdom Come. Maybe they'll do a 50 year special when everybody who seen it in theatres is dead.

Sounds about right, sadly.

Disney has an opportunity with the comic to cross-promote other Tron products, by placing an ad in the comic. They could have a one-page ad on the back cover or something, for the Disney Store: where they could highlight all the Tron products available. The DVD, CD, Games, Statues, Pins, etc. But do they do it? No. They don't have a clue on how to market it properly. I guess they just don't care.

And why isn't the comic sold in the Disney Store? Duh!

lurkinghorror Wrote:I have to clarify, Disney really doesn't have a say on the advertising in the back. That would be a call made by SLG.

But I'm betting no one from Disney even asked or offered to place an ad. Is that correct? That's my point.

That's all Disney. Note that Disney doesn't sell Disney Adventures magazine either. But you have to remember, just because the name is Disney, doesn't mean they're the same company. I can tell you that if we had somehow managed an agreement that would get the book cross promoted with other Disney companies, we would probably have a much harder time doing anything with the book that was not identical to the film.

If selling the comic in the store meant compromising the content, because they're afraid that an adult-aimed comic book sold on their site might distress parent groups and the like: then of course, forget it.

Maybe I'm just naive, but you would think that a conglomerate like Disney with its multiple divisions, would try to function like a well-oiled machine and fire on all cylinders. That all the divisions would be in lockstep with each other, and do their best to cooperate and cross-promote their properties. However, this apparently is not the case at all. I recall some posts about how when the game was released, the other divisions of Disney made zero attempts to help cross-promote. (e.g. Showing an ad in front of a Disney film in the theater.) And now they are repeating the same mistake.

Why? Just because it's Tron, and not say . . . Kim Possible? There's a bias at Disney against this property. Which is foolish. Exploit it, don't let it fade away.

Why not? Succesful products would mean more Tron. And better marketing would help that, significantly. Being successful doesn't automatically mean a property will be destroyed in the process.

But yes . . . with Disney's track record so far, they probably would pander to the largest demographic: the integrity and vision of Tron be damned.

Lurkinghorror, I've asked a couple of friends who have recently picked up the comic, to share their thoughts on it. Hopefully they will post.
