    Idk man, Tron is a weird franchise. For one, I dispute your assertion that the consensus is the movie is bad. By and large, the takes I have come across boil down to, “It’s okay…but why is it here?”.

    Review aggregators (while not the be-all-end-all of a movie’s reception, hence Bridges’ quote in the article) suggest the critics are about evenly split and audiences are generally higher on it. At worst, the response is mixed.

    The reason I bring this up is because, if your comment had a mishap with the Internet Wayback Machine and was sent back in time 15 years, I wouldn’t blink an eye at “Ares”. I’d have just automatically subbed in “Legacy”, cause there’s no way I would have guessed the Disney was going to make the same mistake a third time when it comes to Tron.
