Agreed, Rimwall. Agreed

when she wears the battle helmet
do you like the side view better or the front ?

i seem more attracted to her side view with the
battle helmet






Front.


maybe it's all those manga / hentai cartoons
we were exposed to?

also i've heard from some of my female friends
call it the big head or big hair syndrome.

Don't know about the Comics you mentioned, actually. Never read a single one of those. I was typical Batman, Spider-Man kid.

Never was into Japanese style comics. Cartoons, on the other hand, yes.

Dragon Ball-Z, was one of my childhood favorites.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill onlineabortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

I would guess it's totally removed from any part of the plot that makes sense and it's because Jeff Bridges was the big name so he needed a part in the romance. Sometimes writers go "and then this happens, because it is cinematic and would look so amazing." But they are so set in that they forget about character arc, plot and motivation.

I don't even want to get into my theory of the accidental boy's club in the TRON universe.

you mean like the whole tron legacy seems to focus on the
boys with daddy issues thing.

and while quorra, who has acted as the surrogate daughter
to flynn, seems to be portrayed as only a love interest for sam.

when the whole truth is that quorra probably had a more
profound and permanent influence on flynn's feminine or peaceful zen side.

that if flynn found a male iso he probably teach the guy warrior ways -
but since he found quorra - flynn had to show quorra the more
feminine side of his character.

in terms of father and offspring relations.
fathers show their sensitive (peaceful) side to daughters -
while the manly side is reserved for sons.

so spending a thousand years- by trying to be a peaceful
role model for quorra - is a very good reason for flynn's current outlook

hmmm... maybe that's why he shouted "you've done enough already" at sam -
while he never got angry at quorra even after she
admitted that she sent sam to a dangerous situation (sam going to castor).

almost like flynn is trying to avoid displaying signs of anger at quorra
(his surrogate daughter).order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

That's okay, because my brain is not wired to notice displays of thinking two dudes apparently fighting over a woman is a good kind of "extra attention".... (now I am having a mental picture of Castor hosting a Jerry-Springer type show...)

admittedly with regards to yori's feelings
i would much prefer the interpretations of the women of tron-sector

the strange thing is even after seeing it as a territoriality
display. i still cant bring myself to admit it.
i would still interpret yori smiling at tron's protective attitude.
weird right?

don't get me wrong - i agree with the interpretation.
i just can't accept it emotionally

so i gotta ask (for the women) - does yori sense the challenge
implied by tron when he blocked flynn's advance?

It also seemed to me like he would've been mad at Sam even if Quorra hadn't gotten hurt.

But he also never got angry that she blasted her way into the heart of CLU central (not exactly covertly either) to spring Sam from the games.

Disney has been notoriously bad for having primarily male-driven plots in its stories. They never even seemed to know how to write a tale that had a female as the main protagonist. They tried it with Mulan and it was a flop. Though more recently, with Enchanted and Tangled, seems like they're finally getting the hang of it. With TRON... well... at least it seems like they weren't afraid of having the strongest warrior on the side of good to be a girl. (Now having thoughts of a Quorra vs. Rinzler fight)

oh yeah. i totally agree.
quorra reminded me of my older sister. we would be
playing tag then she would stumble or scratch a knee.
guess who would be in the crapper?

lesson number 1: protect your sister

the first time i saw that elevator scene i was thinking:
what are you yelling at him for?
quorra was the one who sent him there. (behind your back i might add)

then i remembered - lesson number 1: protect your sister


by the way, that's not the first time flynn raised his voice at sam
Flynn: "...he wanted a new piece on the board TO CHANGE THE GAME"

i was thinking:
what are you yelling at him for? and right at sam's face?
very un-zen dude.

True. Though in this case you could argue that the primary audience is probably male (and anyone who doubts that: hello, the Sirens and Quorra!!). In the original, you could at least argue that most programmers are male, so of course most of the programs you see appear to be male.

Hell, let's face it. Pretty much any action movie has mostly male characters. Any female characters are scantily dressed, generally don't do all that much (much of the time they require saving from the male characters, though not always), and usually end up as a love interest of some sort. So I wouldn't blame this one entirely on Disney. (I'm not big on Angelina Jolie, but she IS one of my female-actress heroes because she plays TRUE ass-kicking-female roles. Michelle Rodriguez rocks too)abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

Baloney lady! You knew damn well he was alive and you kissed Flynn anyway. Tramp!



I had to share that thought. I found it very funny since I have been watching this film for 28 years and only now realized it.

Well... she does say "thought" meaning it was in the past tense.

She says that to Dumont on the ship. She tells him he's dead.

So, I think she was truthful in saying "We (meaning Yori and Flynn and Dumont, for that matter) thought you were dead."

i'm going to post this before i loose this train of thought
(just thinking out loud)

if we consider all of flynn's creations as his
children - then quorra is the only child who
benefited from the full attention and wisdom of the father.

little wonder that quorra is the most balanced
child, the one ready to leave the nest (for the right reasons).
with the father's blessings to boot.(clu was the one without blessing)

compare sam's reluctance at leaving flynn (at the portal), with
quorra's acceptance of flynn's wishes.

remember sam's reluctance on leaving flynn behind.
that's not just sam the man but sam the little boy.
sam (at the portal) still cannot accept a life without
his father -despite spending twenty years without flynn.

quorra on the other hand is ready to leave the grid,
after spending a thousand years with flynn as her
father figure, she is ready for her "own" life.

there was no need for prolonged good-byes between
father and adopted daughter. flynn's last words to quorra
"go" was all that was needed.

in short quorra was the only child who grew up.
-and the only child deemed ready to move on
-the only child flynn can rely on to follow his wishes
-the only child who will not whine like a girl even
if flynn gets left behind

by the way sam's reluctance on leaving flynn
reminds me of a child's first day in school

quorra got the best "grown-up part" of all.

the portal scene is like that 911 scene i just saw on tv some nights ago:
the father is trying to pacify the oldest son who is a junkie -
then the father orders the responsible middle child
to take the youngest out of the house so they won't
witness the altercation.

meanwhile the youngest is crying and wondering
"why are we leaving dad inside."

then i hear the music:
"bad boys bad boys what you gonna doooo
what you gonna do when they come for youuuuu..."

Well, Quorra also understands what Flynn is getting at (and she's spent a thousand years with him and probably knows he feels guilty and needs to make things right). She understands WHY he has to do what he's doing. Sam can't really be expected to; he's still totally a Grid n00b. He still really has no true idea of what the whole Clu thing is about or how this place works. And let's face it: mature or not, nobody wants to leave someone they love to die. Sam's spent the whole film being proactive and not wanting to give up without a fight; I don't expect him to stop now.

we should also note that if flynn measures the maturity of
his children by their ability to understand the sacrifice
he must make - then sam is not mature by flynn's standards.

we are not the ones measuring the maturity level of
flynn's children. flynn is. we are just observing how
flynn measures them.

flynn led sam to the portal by lying.

so if flynn lied to sam and led sam to believe that
flynn would be going home. flynn has already measured
sam as not mature enough for the truth.

besides flynn already explained the stakes involved during
dinner. sam did not get it. the way sam has dug in his
heels (and rode off without permission) no amount of
explanation will change sam's mind.

the full truth was given to the mature child (quorra)
at the lightjet, when sam's back was turned, when flynn
said to quorra "i need you to do something for me"

by the way if we are measuring sam's feelings at loosing flynn -
let's also measure quorra's loss because she lost
a father figure she's known for a thousand years.

for perspective - take an average human
lifespan of 75 years and that means flynn has been
quorras father for 13 lifetimes.

BUT. How much did he explain to Quorra? We don't know. He may have kept her in the dark too and just told her, "look, we need to switch so if Clu grabs my disc on the way out, he's really getting yours." And, for all we know, that may indeed have been his plan all along and circumstances just changed at the last minute. So maybe he didn't lie to ANYBODY. (Although I daresay it does seem like there was that one moment on the Solar Sailer when he definitely comes to some sort of important conclusion)

(Although I daresay it does seem like there was that one moment on the Solar Sailer when he definitely comes to some sort of important conclusion)

we actually know some parts of what he told her because of her actions at
the portal

im going to put the summation here on top:
quorras actions will be dictated by whether flynn told her a
partial truth or the whole truth about his wishes

we should note the dialog at the portal when quorra said "it's what he wants"

flynn : sam it's time
sam: no
quorra: sam it's what he wants
sam: i'm not leaving you

in the context of the scene flynn is obviously saying
"it's time to leave" and since there is a wide gap between them
flynn is obviously saying "it's time to leave without me"

and since quorra said "it's what he wants" that can only mean
flynn already told quorra his wishes.



we should also take note of this scene:

right after clu kicked flynn down, quorra was immediately at flynn's
side. she made no move to protect sam even after clu attacked sam.
she was still at flynn's side.

now lets assume that flynn did not tell quorra that he wanted her
to leave with sam.

her reaction would be to protect flynn and not leave flynn's side.

instead what happened was her priority changed from flynn to
protecting sam. let me re-phrase that:

her priority changed from protecting her adopted father to
protecting sam

if flynn did not tell quorra his true wishes - she would
not be changing priorities - she would still be protecting flynn.

here's a question- if quorra was given a choice of protecting
her adopted father or sam. who do we think she will choose?

sam is nothing to quorra if compared to her emotional attachment
to flynn her adopted father.

only the full truth or full explicit expression of flynn's wishes will
make quorra change priorities.

because if it is an "open-for-interpretation-type-of-wish"
then quorra would protect flynn not sam.

in fact i could almost imagine it in my head while quorra
was hovering over the fallen flynn:
"are you sure you don't want me to protect you from clu?
you're injured -you can't fight him alone. who's going to take care of you?"

i could almost feel the conflict in quorra, the despair of
leaving her father to protect some twerp from the real-world

i agree. in fact if we look at the end results -
we could say flynn has been consistently taking advantage of situations
to manipulate events to his preferred end result

what is flynn's end result: stay and fix the grid from the inside.

the original plan in the solar sailer was for sam alone
to leave via portal and maybe enlist allans help in
destroying clu from the outside.

end result: flynn stays behind

when flynn exchanged disks with quorra in the lightjet (knowing
full well that the laser only has enough matter for two beings)

end result: flynn stays behind

after the dinner scene talking in the redoubt. when flynn
was insisting on waiting for the revolution

end result: flynn stays behind

right after quorra's capture by rinzler flynn insisted on
sticking with the original plan

end result: flynn stays behind.

(of course flynn's concern for quorra made it easy
for sam to win that argument)
