So I noticed that in the newest trailer for Legacy, Rinzler has the same insignia (four illuminated squares making a "T" shape) on his suit as Tron did in the original. Anyone know the history of Rinzler? I wonder if he's an updated/corrupt version or something.

It's being assumed that Rinzler is Tron. We don't know how Tron turned into Rinzler.

Also, that Dan Shor rumor has got to be a mistake.

I'm thinking Tron got 'rectified' by Clu. Remember the infamous "Rectify" or "Games" sequence where Sam is in the Recognizer? I'd suspect that Tron got brainwashed by Clu to his side. His code got re-written.

Something to think about.

It was Flynn that jumped into the MCP to distract it so Tron could throw his disc in to de rez it.

Anyways, there is a larger thread about this in this same forum, which has a lot more views on this. My suggestion is that you look at other forum topics before posting.

PS

Nameless's idea isn't all that unlikely...

Eventhough Tron didn't jump into the MCP's beam, his disk (the one thing that dictates what he can and can't do), went through the heart of a corrupt system as it was glitching, due to Flynn's jump.

So Sark and the MCP are behind the discs? I definitely have never gotten that impression (though I do see your point). I always thought Sark's little training speech was just exposition. I considered the discs a 'coming of age' thing, or something.

In any case, I don't think that 'dictates' was the correct word; however, Sark says "anything you do or learn is imprinted on the disc". So, that leads me to believe that there is a strong connection between the disc and the program. I just don't think that Sark and the MCP could create an object with such a strong link to the programs prior to completely absorbing the program itself.

Which also brings up the question, if the discs are just trinkets given to the warriors, why are they necessary at the I/O towers? The I/O interface seemed to be something sacred and old (like a church) in the movie. So, my assumption is that they predate Sark and the MCP (at least in its all-powerful form).


Am I making sense? It's late...

Here's how I think it goes down:

Program to user communication can be done without the identity disc (as seen in the first movie when Flynn communicates with Clu in his tank). In fact, I just realized that Clu is the only program that doesn't have a disc.

The disc is something that is exclusive to the TRON System (possibly an unintentional creation by Flynn) and when the MCP took over, he decided to use the disc as the perfect way to track every program's instructions, code, etc. I don't think the MCP created the disc, however we're not sure if Flynn created it either. It may have been a fluke or something, IDK. Overall, it becomes a very useful weapon, as well as a tool for storing data and code.

Tron probably knew that even if he were to reach the MCP and face him off without Alan's code, he would lose. Alan probably knew a weakness of the MCP or just wrote some commands to Tron in order to help Tron break through the force field and derez the MCP.

Ugh, I'm rambling and it's getting late

But yeah, I agree that the identity disc and I/O towers definitely predate the reign of the MCP.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

I'm pretty sure that we'll find out who rinzler is or at least more about him in Tron: The betrayal http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii61/Super_Saiyan_Marita/TRON/Photoon2010-08-07at1023.jpg

I took a pic of it and that's why it's reversed XP

My thoughts would be that Rinzler is someone else. If that's him in the poster his hair style doesn't look like he would be Tron o.o

If it is Tron I'd say Tron chose to betray Flynn and join Clu to look legitimate but Tron is still siding with Flynn and only joined to be sort of a spy ^^;

The issue is that the official website has Shor listed, as well.


I can see Flynn creating a security program that combines the skills of the original Tron (hence the "T") and the "razzle-dazzle" of RAM (hence the double disc).

I've resolved that it's much easier if you focus on the fact that it is a completely different system. on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill onlineabortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

I have this theory, nothing to back it up though..

Maybe the T on Rinzler is a clever marketing technique. Similar things have been done before, like Captain Price being replaced by Ghost in Modern Warfare 2 trailers and Raiden being replaced by Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid 2 trailers.

Just a thought that just popped into my mind.
