Fatal flaw in Tron (1982): Tron is not the main character
Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 24th, 2024 5:24 PM Author: Institute for JDVanced Study Jeff Bridges was clearly the protagonist. Tron is just this Mary Sue "sentient" program with no real arc that JB meets along the way on his own Alice in Wonderland-esque journey to redemption.

Date: November 24th, 2024 5:31 PM Author: Institute for JDVanced Study You don't have to name a movie after a character, but if you do then it should be the main character. In some cases, it can be another character that is the primary concern of the main character. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5639586&forum_id=2#48376567) |

Date: November 24th, 2024 7:35 PM Author: Institute for JDVanced Study Arc or no arc, that character wasn’t the main character. He was just the one with the cool name. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5639586&forum_id=2#48376923) |

Date: November 24th, 2024 7:55 PM Author: barnabyjones "arc" along with the dogmatic adherence to three act structure has ruined screen writing. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5639586&forum_id=2#48377021) |

Date: November 24th, 2024 8:05 PM Author: Institute for JDVanced Study I won’t debate that, but if one protagonist does have a major arc and another doesn’t, then the former is probably the main character (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5639586&forum_id=2#48377039) |

Date: November 24th, 2024 7:10 PM Author: ,.,.,.,....,.,..,.,.,. It’s especially absurd in Trojan Legacy. The character is irrelevant and doesn’t even go by the name Tron for most of the film. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5639586&forum_id=2#48376824) |
