Like, if your friend got sliced in the face you'd call for medical help right? Carry them to safety, seek help, comfort them, and show them that you're there for them. Well.... Tron didn't do any of that. He just saw Dyson's face get damaged, probably asked if he was okay, and just didn't do anything about it. Even when Flynn arrived later-- he didn't beg or worriedly tell Flynn to fix his dear friend Dyson. He just interjected, "He sustained that injury while in the field, sir." All matter of factly. He never even brought up or asked Flynn if he could help, he was just indifferent about the situation.

Also (my memory may be a little foggy of this one) Tron didn't seem all that upset Able died either. Sure he could've stayed strong for Beck, but I don't think he even comforted him. Just gave him the, "Shit happens." Shpeel. However, Tron obviously cared more about Beck than he did to Dyson and Clu. I would assume it's because Beck is his successor, his heir if you will. I'd imagine that Tron would have to care a little more since he wasn't physically okay to go and search for a new Renegade every passing cycle, and after a while he probably did begin to genuinely care for Beck and saw him as a program he needed to help grow.

Before anyone says, "TRON HAS FEELINGS." I know he does. I've seen him feel despair, love, happiness, anger, loneliness, hopelessness and hope. I've seen him do all of that. That's not why I made this. I made this to point out that AFTER entering the Grid, he became indifferent to the people around him other than Flynn. My point being, and this is my own HC that I believe firmly in, is that Flynn programmed Tron to be more loyal and animated towards him. However the result of this is that Flynn grew emotionally distant from other people and ultimately made him a bad friend. I'm unsure if Flynn was aware of the consequences of that or not, or if he knew what he was doing would change Tron. But Tron didn't start off as bad friend (especially in Kingdom of Hearts, but that's a bit different), he cared about the people around them and was protective of those he loved. But right when be entered the Grid he was different, and I think Flynn did something. I just think Flynn was being selfish, enjoyed being praised, changed Tron's coding so all he did was side with Flynn-- probably because he knew the programs would like Tron and wanted him to convince the others that Flynn was great and knew what he was doing (which has worked before), and because that would mean Tron would be protective of him meaning Flynn could do whatever he wanted and the security program would just keep him from dying. And as he know, Flynn put himself in a lot of dangerous situations because he was aware Tron would prevent him from being harmed.

This would explain why Clu was so aggressive about Tron talking or defending Flynn and even telling him later on, "He betrayed all of us." Clu's way of possibly telling Tron he knew what Flynn did, and Tron should feel betrayed despite being programmed to continuously support Flynn, which could also explain why Tron never brought up Flynn or said his name-- because he understand Clu's words and meaning, finally understanding why things ended the way the did.

I love Flynn and Tron, I really do. I even ship them, but that doesn't mean I can't shit on them. Tron was left to deal with the aftermath of Flynn's actions. The possible change in his coding lead to him being a bad friend, which caused Dyson to easily not regret teaming up with Clu to hurt Tron, not regret torturing him, and surely not regret taking everything away from him. Again, I'd like to say that Tron was a good friend in the Old System Era, but obviously he became indifferent to the people around him and hadn't bothered to become a better person. Not that I blame him or what he's done or ended up becoming.

I'd love to hear your guys' thoughts or ideas!

We all know that Clu was meant to be a literal copy of Kevin Flynn. They're supposed think and look the exact same.

However, has nobody pointed out that Clu seemed to hate Flynn and everyone he thought was pathetic? But this wasn't applied through Flynn? Flynn loved Clu as his own and seemed to love every program he made.

So, what I was thinking is that... Maybe Flynn loathed himself and secretly felt like everyone was a bother (minus Tron)? What if he viewed himself as a coward, and he thought everyone was lesser compared to him but he knew better than to voice these things. That is, until the ISOs arrived and he had a change of heart about his programs.

Of course though, we know Flynn had a narrow mind since he passed that on to Clu. But Clu doesn't hesitate to say he doesn't like someone, but he knows better than to say harsh words about Flynn near others. Especially around Tron.

So let me ask you guys something, you know how when you're printing paper and sometimes there's a mistake? Either the ink fadded, was placed crooked on the paper, or the paper was lightly folded and so now every paper has that fold printed in them?

Now, imagine the same thing, but with Clu. What if Flynn accidentally copied an error in Clu when he made him, that made Clu more... Blunt, aggressive, condescending, and harsh? Along with the error, Flynn's narrow mind and insecurities were transferred to him.

But instead of hating himself (since Clu has a superiority complex of some sort), he turned it towards Flynn? And since he was moving his self-hate towards Flynn, he became more angry and agitated that he LOOKED like him.

But that wasn't really a valid reason for hating someone just because they looked like you. So all those cycles Flynn spent away, Clu found a valid reason to hate Flynn. He was lazy and uncaring of the Grid, and Clu decided to use that as an advantage for gaining followers.

Here's my TRON OC. I had written out his bio and posted it here but Tumblr said, "Fuck Zulik and his hard work." So here are just the doodles. I might post his bio later as a reblog.

But a quick summary for his, just know that he's a janitorial program that lived in Tron City and was in love with an ISO. They dated until Clu destroyed the ISO city. He escaped to Argon and at some point was captured and reprogrammed as a Sentry guard. On a patrol one night, the Renegade (Cyrus) had attacked him and cut off his left arm. In that moment, Advan panicked and had memories of his ISO who must've been terrified when Clu's men derezzed him. He sobbed and pushed the Renegade off, begging to be spared. He quickly escaped and lived alone. Too scared that the Renegade would attack him again, or others finding his past relations with an ISO. Not only that, but he hadn't completely broke free from his programming, he snaps and is prepared to fight. At the mention of the Renegade, he's on guard and ready to take down the trouble maker, but he's also panicking and terrified and gets flashbacks to that day.

Ohh really?? Do they have a social media I can follow them on??

But really??? :D) That's so bizzare! Hopefully I made a good impression for you about the fandom!! I've never met anyone who liked the fandom as much as I did either. I was obsessed with it for years, but I've only seen Legacy once ten years ago when it came out and I was immediately hooked. Then I found out there was an original one. So it took me until this year (2020) to finally properly watch the movies. Then I posted an art piece of classic Tron on my Instagram, then I met people that way until I eventually got Tumblr to talk to more people!

I tend to be obsessed with sci-fi movies/shows. I've always liked Sci-fi stuff that involved space or robots, for Tron it was video games and being sucked into it. It was incredible. I just love the films and show so much!! I love everything about it!!

Or fan art at least??
