Bumping because Tron doesn't get talked about much.

bump

Was really that good? I don´t remember much of the show.

I could at least say it has Tron as a character unlike the faceless guy from Tron Legacy.

This remains my favorite animated show.

I was unsure if I would like it when it first was shown in concept, but when it released I was blown away.

The art is godly, the voice acting was on point, the story telling was top notch, and the music perfectly emulated the Daft Punk score.

Its fate was really undeserved.

Criminally underrated. It was excellent in every way except it ended too soon.

Well, the smarmy sidekick character was kind of annoying but even he had his moments.

It had all the potential to be the best cartoon of all time and looked like it was going to make good on that promise. It just didn't live long enough to fulfill it.

Really hope the consider bringing it back. I love the Tron universe. I also want a qt program waifu to fawn over.

Uprising is fucking gold. I just rewatched a couple of episodes the other day.

How did a cartoon adaptation end up having a better and more well thought story than either Tron movie?

>Was really that good?
Yes, it was.
>I don´t remember much of the show.
You should probably rewatch it.

Wait, this is a legit TU thread?
Nice.

The torrent is nice, but god damn, I wish I had it in full-HD. No, itunes never offered it in my country.

I didn't like that Disney immediately pulled the entire budget of it and gave it to Star Wars for advertising.
I didn't enjoy the fact that Disney put it on a premium channel at 0:00 AM on Sundays.
Dear God at least kill it instead of parading its corpse around.

The revolution ended before it even began. This is what the original Tron Uprising was suppose to be like:

I bet even the writing would have been better and less "Nooo Tron don't kill Dyson for revenge. We can't kill important villains on a children's cartoon. We need to preach DC- tier morality bullshit."

we don't talk about it because we like it.
we usually talk about stuff we hate.

It was good teenage adventure fare. The bad-guys were really bad, like moustache-twirlingly bad, but I didn't mind. The hero-mentor structure made for a great growth story arc without nerfing the setting. The concept was decent, and the art was FUCKING GORGEOUS

...

Motorcity did far better than Tron. Motorcity actually had an active thread back on Sup Forums while it was airing. Nobody even heard of Uprising before it was over.

You pointed out in a clear manner most of the things I hated about Tron Uprising.

When Motorcity was put on the chopping block, I knew anything else good like Uprising was going to get axed too.
Moving it to the midnight timeslot was a dick move: "oh look ratings are falling I guess we're justified in cancelling it."

you hated that it was good fare, the evil was simple and tolerable, the great growth and the gorgeous art?

I still don't understand how a show can be canceled before the final episode is produced. Like okay, I can see canceling a show based on low ratings, that happens all the time. But to not even put out the last episode? I can't think of another series where thats happened.

Seriously? Every cartoon ever created ended either on a cliffhanger or without the final episode.

The biggest triumph of Uprising was bringing some fucking color to Legacy's near monochrome aesthetic.

>Art director is an ass man
>bottom-heavy stylized anatomy
I wonder what Alberto Mielgo is up to these days.

>Motorcity actually had an active thread back on Sup Forums while it was airing. Nobody even heard of Uprising before it was over.
>You really think someone would do that? Just go on the Internet and tell lies?

The worst part is that Legacy/Uprising could have been an excuse to really let Tron blossom into a proper franchise and let Disney branch off into doing more proper original science fiction properties.


... instead they bought out Star Wars and now we're gonna get nothing but sequels, prequels, and spinoffs of that for the next twenty years.

It's a case of "I didn't see it, therefore nobody saw it."

Hard-ass mentor Tron was literal perfection. He balanced being equal parts inspiring and terrifying spectacularly. There were parts of the show he was genuinely more terrifying than the villains.

Good show
Good OST
Good potentiall
Good characters

Best test of whether people 'watch' cartoons or actually have an interest past mainline drudge like AT.
I'm glad I got to watch it with you. I hope the studio found out how much we loved it, like Titmouse with Motorcity.

The failure of the Tron reboot lies solely on the fact that Legacy was a total pile of shit. The franchise couldn't be supported by Uprising alone (even if it was a 10/10 show) so when you take that out of the equation, there was nothing worth keeping.

>because I have shit taste everyone must have shit taste
Get fucked.

>The bad-guys were really bad, like moustache-twirlingly bad, but I didn't mind.
I minded it a lot. Dyson and that other boot licking prick got tiresome after just 1 episode.
Tesler was also very cowardly and annoying at how inept and pathetic he is, but somehow he never died.
Paige should have been bested 2000% by Beck. The line "He's no Tron" and the whole dynamic of Beck trying to become Tron should have never existed to begin with. Beck should have focused on becoming his own thing. This cartoon has the most assbackwards morality and standards you'd expect out of a 8 year old without any grambah in him.

>good teenage adventure fare.
>hero-mentor structure
It should have been a mature sci-fi animated series about escaping the digital hell. An adult-oriented series about corruption and satisfingly overthrowing the cold wretched tyranny. Instead for some reason the writers had a boner for killing every potential ally for Beck and introducing new and annoyingly retarded villains which belonged in a saturday morning 90's cartoon.

Tron: The Grid also was suppose to be about originality, creativity, a whole new world to explore.
Master Computer and CLU should have been the main villains. Kevin Flynn should have been a main character along with Quorra.
None of these secondary background characters nobody cares about. None of this shit about Tron being Superman and Tron acting as a mentor/father figure to Becky.
Beck(Frodo) was also insanely shy and autistic for a renegade, more-so than Peter Parker.

At first it seemed like it was aiming for a mature Action-Man, but then it quickly degenerated into a dull version of Motorcity with only Beck acting as the protagonist for the entire series, as opposed to an entire team of 5 characters.

Plus they never played The Games too often. I remember they only addressed the arena games for just 1 half of an episode.

>The franchise couldn't be supported by Uprising alone
It totally could have but not in the way the Mouse wanted it to be. There are heaps of new IP shows. Tron could have just span off into the Uprising U. There was legitimately no need for the films to be good if they re-budgeted and refocused for cartoon production instead of an ad for the film.

>this faggot with his copypasta again
No thanks

Paul Rubens's character was tiresome. He was clearly the starscream to Tesler's megatron. For all Tesler's hardass "you have failed me tor the last time," Pavel's incompetence at simple management and command screamed that he shouldn't have been promoted to an officer's aide never mind a lieutenant rank.

Paige, on the other hand: scary competent, only reason she doesn't have Tesler's job is because she doesn't want it & doesn't play backroom politics, and truly believes she's Lawful Good. I was willing to handwave Beck escaping because of plot armor and getting underestimated at first, and later by getting trained by Tron. IIRC, Beck never bested Paige, he would "win" by running away.

> it should have been a mature sci-fi series
You're mistaking what you want for what should be. I want it too, but just because we want something doesn't mean the universe owes it to us to deliver.

Not exactly Daft Punk, but Joseph did a good job too.

I honestly think this is the Firefly of 2010s animation. Will see a resurgence in popularity and was taken far too early before its time.

Never heard of it. Got a link to educate myself?

>this whole post

I thought it was weird that Paige was built for medicine, but she had talent (and an urge) for music, and then became very accomplished at military stuff. Did she defy her programming, or was her code something weird and she was just being used for medicine because it was the first thing she was installed to do?

It'd be like if I was using backup software to do an anti-virus scan: it'd work but it's just not done.

Medical Pagers are for action, impending changes, emergencies and the like.

The choreography was beyond solid in this show, and it backed it up with fairly good plots. At its worst, I think Tron's aesthetic threatens to render everything too uniform, and this show kept things looking dynamic and fresh.

No fightan man, both shows were axed before their time. Tron, Motorcity, and Sym-Biotic were my favorite shows during this time, and they all got canned.

>Put off watching Tron
>"It's a Disney franchise, S2 is practically confirmed"
>Begin watching really late in the season
>Hooked by Ep3
>Hear its not renewed next day

That was karma.

Real Talk? Quorra was QT but Legacy was so much garbage.

Uprising actually made something work with the plot, even though it still doesn't make perfect sense that CLU would turn evil. It helped that I hadn't seen the original Tron when I started watching this, but now that I have I understand exactly what made Legacy's conceits so insufferable.

Now for some sceneporn desktops. Enjoy

This is making me reminisce. Back in the Tron Generals we had an Archivist Program.

I wonder if he still comes to Sup Forums ...

Do you have Tron's mountain hideout?

That's all I got unless folks wanna see some of the silly shit that was posted in the /tg/ back then.

Why do you post these things?

I don't think I have it in desktop format, but let me check.


I do not have it. I am sorry. I have a few from inside, but not a panoramic shot of the outside.

But Uprising was good.

Live!

Hellboy syndrome dude. Discussion is cursed to short threads. Unless there's excess waifu fagging, controversy or obvious flaws there's never anything to say other than, yeah I read/watched that once, it was good.

The only thing I'm sorry about is the slow pokes who missed the whole airing experience: discussion, speculation and hype.

Actually all the art was by Robert Valley. He really is an ass man, you should see his other stuff. I know he recently held a kickstarter to fund his own animated movie, and homeboy is delivering. He's a pretty good animator.

OP here. Thanks for keeping this thread alive for as long as it has. You made an old man proud. In an effort to maintain the status of this wonderful thread, I'll dump some concept art. Looks like the show would've had a look more similar to the original Tron movie
