Tron franchise - possible TV show

That intro was pure 80s gold!

I still believe that Tron 2 will flop when it comes out, I mean flop hard.

Some nerds will obviously come out to watch it, but the budget is supposedly $175 millionish and I really don't see it making it's money back, unless it does amazing over seas.

I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

I enjoyed the first Tron and am looking forward to the second, but I agree with you 100%.

Outside of the nerd demographic (and possibly the people who love 80s movies demographic) I don't see it appealing to anyone and being a pretty big flop at the box office.

I'm surprised Disney was even willing to greenlight a sequel that cost so much money, much less have all this talk of a trilogy and TV shows.

Have we forgotten the 1983 travesty that was Automan?

Am I the only one who thinks that looked great? I mean it was 80's all the way but the car changing to a helicopter. Pretty good for the time.

A lot of people thought AVATAR would flop hard.
The public has had almost 30 years to appreciate the original, so I think it'll at least make quite a bit more at the box office this time around.
This is gonna be a feast for the senses, and people are drawn to that, even the ones who never heard of the original (which is doing pretty well on Amazon)

I haven't-I used to watch this show all of the time, and although now I know it's meh, at the time it was great for my 15-year old self to see something like Tron on TV. I can't believe people like this guy named CaptainBuckRogers on YouTube who love it and want it to be on DVD and Blu-Ray DVD and who also think it's better than anything on TV now:

Today's shows blow. Reality manure and stuff like Lost which is just impossible to follow. Like Saturday morning cartoons and animation in general, good shows are ancient history!
