Q&A About Tron Legacy (Spoilers)

on Saturday, January, 15, 2011 7:39 PM
I've been watching the forums and seeing various questions about the movie being made, but I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for some of the questions yet unasked or unanswered. Here are a few I have.

Why Rinzler? I mean, why the name? What does it mean? Was there a purpose for naming him that or did they just pull it out of a hat? The other program names I kinda get, but Rinzler just has me puzzled.

If a program takes the image of its creator/user, then why don't more of the programs on The Grid look like Flynn? Why is Clu the only one? After all, Flynn created The Grid, so why wouldn't most of the programs look like him? Maybe the guards do, but we just can't see their face. I know Kevin put programs created by other people in there, but most of them were his. How about Anon from Tron Evolution? Wouldn't he look like Flynn? We never see him without his helmet on and never hear him speak, so its just a guess, but he would probably look like Flynn under there.

Why exactly would Kevin Flynn not survive his reunion with Clu and why couldn't he just derezz Clu? I've seen the movie twice, and I know what Quorra said, but I still don't quite get it. I remember how he made Clu in his image, but so what? Unless he put a physical part of himself into Clu, I'm not sure just why he wouldn't survive unless its just an excuse the writers thought of as to why he hadn't just eliminated Clu himself yet.

On the Youtube video of the Flynn Lives protest ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ7cOrR9u6c ) is the Space Paranoids game they show the same one as the fan created Space Paranoids game, or did they have a mock up? Because it looks very much like a fan made game, and if it is, did they get credit for it?

That's all I got for now, but if anyone else has any questions feel free to post them here. Also feel free to answer anything or post your theories as well.

He was named after someone from Lucasfilm who wrote special effects books about Star Wars and Indiana Jones. One of his books happened to be sitting on the table in a room when they were discussing the character's name.

CLU is an acronym for Codified Likeness Utility. It could be that in the Encom system, all programs took on the appearance of their user. In The Grid, they don't, except for CLU, who is essentially a clone of Kevin Flynn as he was the second he created CLU.

He could have defeated CLU without reintegration by standard means of combat, but he was, at that point in time, old and would have probably lost. Sam probably could've taken him on but idk.

Oh, thanks for that info! I had no idea about the Rinzler thing. Where did you hear about that?

Thanks for the Space Paranoids link too. I didn't even know about it.
