That was fast. lol. Actually I did'nt realize it was on there already when I put up the new thread.

TronFAQ suggested we use hash tags on our own twitter pages to trend it. Such as this "#TronUprising" and then make a statement after that line. Do it without apostrophes though. It should feed into the tron uprising threads on twitter. Disney supposedly looks out for that kind of stuff.

Seems to me that the disney executives don't think Uprising was worth a shot, they waited waay too long to air new episodes after "Price of power" moved the airings to midnight and it's obviously more easy to make money using their stupid unfunny sequels than to invest in a high quality series like Uprising, so I think that the whole "We don't have enough viewers" it's a load of BS, specially after you consider that Uprising hasn't aired in latin america (LOTS of viewers here) and most of europe.

I think it costs us nothing to try.

Of course not, I already signed the petition for the renewal of both Uprising and motorcity, and while I will support the series until the end, I won't get my hopes up too high so i won't be dissapointed if Disney decides not to make a second season, for now ill just enjoy the remaining episodes.

I had a feeling this would happen when the show was moved to a 12am broadcast time once per week. But to be honest, I'm not entirely sorry that Tron Uprising was cancelled.

I personally think that a better route for Disney to take would have been to perhaps adapt the Tron Betrayal graphic novel into a mini-series. Cartoon Network went the mini-series route with the original Clone Wars cartoon back in 2004/2005. I thought the two mini-series they produced dovetailed nicely in between the time of Attack Of the Clones and Revenge Of the Sith. It provided details as to why General Grievous had that nasty cough in Revenge Of the Sith, why the Jedi Knights were so intimidated by him, etc.

Part of the appeal of Tron to me has always been seeing the real world happenings alongside the computer world happenings of Tron. If Tron Betrayal had been adapted in the way the original Clone Wars mini-series had been written, I think it would have been much more successful than how Tron Uprising went as far as story, character development, etc.

Ultimately, Tron Uprising just didn't feel right to me. It felt forced, the story and characters didn't really appeal to me that much and the whole idea of Beck being "the next Tron" was questionable. Tron Betrayal, on the other hand, gave a much better look as to what happened in between Tron and Tron Legacy and would have made for a much more interesting story if it had been adapted to TV as an animated mini-series in my opinion.

Anyway, what's done is done. With Tron Uprising being cancelled, I have my doubts that Disney is going to want to do another Tron movie anytime soon, especially now with their recent acquisition of the Star Wars franchise. But, we'll just have to see what happens as things develop.

I have Betrayal, but honestly have yet to read it. Maybe I'll jam through it tonight, and get a feel for it.

I can't in all honesty compare the two, right now. But I personally loved Uprising. Even if it's not canon (which I believe they said it wasn't), the world building and characters are still endearing, and amazing.

I've been watching this show via itunes and I've just finished watching the stranger, this show is amazing dont get my wrong....That being said however, I seriously don't think Disney had any intention of making this a continuous story. It seems to focus mostly on expanding and tying up some issues with Legacy perhaps in preparation for Tron 3. It just feels to me as a padding out rather than something new that they plan to run with for a good period of time.

TESLER (growls): Where did you hear this blasphemy?!


Seriously, though, I've never heard anything to that effect anywhere. (I know some fans have decided it's not part of their personal headcanon, but that's something completely different.) Considering the quality of the writing in Uprising, and how cleanly it slots into existing continuity, they'd be insane to declare it non-canon.
