So nobody thinks this is weird?

TRON.dll Wrote:The only time we saw Black Guards in the movie were during the flashback scene and the End of Line Club fight, where they were shown in both scenes getting the bits beat out of them. .

In the flashback they were defeated pretty easily because they were fighting Tron, but in the end of line club 2 guards succesfully defeated Quorra and had the upper hand until Flynn came in to help. yet in Uprising they are beated with a singlepunch, they are supposed to be the ELITE guard, so that does't make any sense

That is something. The programs that we've seen do really well against Black Guards are Beck, Tron, and Cutler. Tron is Tron, and Beck is his protege, who we know if getting lots of training off screen. Cutler, by his own admission, fought in the ISO wars, so he has some experience. Hey, he didn't die or get sent to the games, now did he? For all we know he's still out there recruiting people for the Uprising. We really haven't seen anyone else fight Black Guards outside of Quorra and Sam. Sam would toast because he's a User, so I assume he'd be extremely adaptable to a different fighting style (if your remember from the Flynn Lives ARG, he was doing some martial arts with some company in Brazil), and Quorra would toast because she's an ISO and probably did some training at the safe house with Flynn. I don't think we've seen anyone else try to take on Black Guards and live. Bartik and the rest of the revolters got turned into cubes in the EOL club.

I think our seeing Black Guards as weak is simply because they are first nameless and faceless, and second, we always see them pitted against real top of the line fighters.

ShadowDragon1 Wrote:Exactly. It wasn't until Flynn showed up at the End of Line Club, and drained some of the power from the Club itself and seemingly weakened the Black Guards then programs in the club where able to gang up on those guards that hadnt been derezzed yet.

And even then it seemed like they were taken by surprise.
