Flynn's Arcade

All that is visible must grow beyond itself, and extend into the realm of the invisible.

Friendly reminder that Quorra is the sole survivor of a genocide and her happy ending consists of effectively moving to another planet while watching her savior and mentor and god, and the only friend she had for a thousand years, die.

Friendly reminder that Tron was brainwashed and spent a thousand years as a mute, faceless killing machine destroying the world he and his friend had built and terrorizing the people he was written to protect.

Friendly reminder that Flynn screwed his pet programs over so badly they staged a revolt and trapped him inside the computer, where he spent a thousand years in hiding and the food he prepared tasted like motor oil even all that time.

Friendly reminder that Alan lost his best friend, creative counterpart, and business partner, spent the next twenty years searching for him and trying to look after his troubled orphaned son and corrupted company, and to this day still sleeps with the pager he gave him - all while his wife had moved to the other side of the continent.

Friendly reminder that Lora got put on a bus and her existence got only the barest acknowledgement in the most questionably canonical side materials of the sequel to a movie that never even would have happened without her life’s work and Let’s Do This Thing attitude.

Friendly reminder that Yori fucking disappeared into thin air between one movie and the next, and if she still exists at all and didn’t get killed by her brainwashed lover, she instead had to watch said brainwashed lover become Clu’s lapdog and the antithesis of everything he once stood for.
