HA!!!

Hey, if they could throw some actual CHARACTER into the next movie, including a legitimate relationship (romantic or otherwise) between Sam and Quorra, that'd be just fine with me. I'd appreciate having some actual people to watch in the next flick.

(Best thing evar about this place is that it seems no matter what other brand of movie geekery you trot out, somebody knows it...)

Agreed. This place is like the Cheers theme song, only with movies

1) Sam started out as a cocky, rebelious and directionless young man, and through the adversity he survived through in The Grid, re-uniting and reconciling with his father, and having his father pretty much sacrifice himself to protect his son all pushed Sam into finally realizing he should take control of Encom and continue on his fathers legacy. He fought, surived, and learned from all that had happened and became a more focused and a more mature person by the end of the story. this is only the beginning...

2) Qourra is wise but naive, she experienced near death, and she learned that she wasn't invincible, she learned about how to take herself "out of the equation" as in do the unexpected, and give Sam and Kevin Flynn a chance to elude Rinzler. She learned that others that she cares for are more important than herself (even though she is very important, being the last ISO and haveing practically self-repairing digital DNA .. once damaged or bad code is removed)....

There is some character development, not alot, but more so than Bayformers: Rise of MetalPiles or awful films like Skyline.

But alas Tron Legacy is an action adventure not a tv series or a 4 or 8 hour movie to expand more on each main character. Nor does it have a 9 book series to be based on.

This film is a modern version of mythology, and incorperates the structure of the monomyth (as described by Joseph Campbell) and has many elements from several mythologies. Tron was never about heavy exposition and heavy dialoge with drawn out character development. Hence ACTION *adventure* not hard drama. It's meant to be enjoyed by people 8 to 18 and up. To much exposition and heavy dialogue and younger audiences would (unfortunately) loose interest and be bored...

The original film wasn't heavy on character dialoge, development or heavy exposition, it's an imaginative cyberspace fairytale, and this sequel is basically a continuation of that. I

TRON (1982), the Flynn Lives ARG narrative (which actually provided alot of back story exposition about Sam and what happened with Encom and Flynn from 1982 to 1989), along with the graphic novel Tron: Betrayal all add into the Tron universe and the upcoming animated series all add into and expand upon the characters, themes, and story of over arching Tron universe.
There will mosty likely be a "Tron 3" and maybe a "Tron 4" so things have room for a bit more growth withe those as well.

I don't think they'll go down that road. Disney will most likely want to keep the "family" dynamic going in the next film, which is what makes me think that the Sam/Quorra courtship will have occurred between films and that they will most likely be married by then(it is Disney after all). Doing it that way makes the "will they/won't they?" question a non-issue. It also raises the stakes for each character without having to sacrifice any precious screen time. And I really, really, REALLY don't think we're ever going to see any kind of forbidden love... human/ISO complications either. At least for the foreseeable future, with the possible exception of Dillinger Jr., I honestly don't think anyone outside of Sam's inner circle will ever find out just what Quorra really is.

Part of me thinks one of the main ways that Sam and Quorra will change the world is by introducing ISO DNA into the population using a more... ahem... old fashioned method, so to speak.

Kevin, Sam or Quorra. 1) Clu is *symbolically* representative of Flynn's ambition and his "shadow" ( like Flynn's dark reflection made manifest). He turned "evil" because of his misinterprutation of his base programming "create the perfect system" and felt betrayed by Flynn when Kevin became more enamoured with the Isos that Clu though were an anomolie and a threat to The Grid being made into a "perfect system". That lead to Clu twisting his programming to follow his ideal and plans of what he thought should be done to make the system perfectly ordered. He's was following his programming as he saw it, doesn't make him "evil" per se, just very very misguided, somwhat ignorant, overly ambitiuous, and became obssesed with creating " a perfect system". 2) Quorra is a friend and ally to Sam in the movie. She may grow to love Sam and Sam might grow to love her as well. It won't be a instant kind of thing, but it makes sense to me that they have a bond now after surviving adversity. 3) Know one knows, it could be soon, it might be officially confirmed at San Diego Comic Con 2011... 4) All of them are main characters and of importance; Clu is Tron Legacy's main character, Sam is also the main character, just as Flynn is a key character, as is Quorra. It's a "hall of mirrors" that reflect different aspects of "Flynn" either distorted or clear, Clu is Flynn's unrestrained ambition, his dark mirror reflection made manifest, Sam is Flynn's son, he represent's Flynn's regret and also the one he loves most since Sam is his son, Sam is the one to continue his legacy; Quorra is a symbol of Flynn's hope and dreams.

1. i agree most of you about Clu. He's indeed not deserved to be treated as an evil. Clu is basically a program version of "1983 Kevin Flynn". But every time i see the movie, i always wonder if Clu actually only just following his programming.

I mean Tron is a security program created by Alan. Basically he is working like he did but he knows how to love(Lora) and he knows how to think. Ram, just a financial program, clearly shown his human side when he derezzed in front of Kevin in 1982. This makes me wonder if Clu may also have some conscious on what he did, and Kevin's view.
