Tron: My thoughts and ideas

Welcome kids to first year extra, they'll be where I'll be doing a series of 6 blogs or more on aaaanything I want for a separate class. Today's self indulgent/rant/info-blog is about the movie franchise Tron.

To be concise- It's so underrated and ignored

When I was much younger I remember seeing the original on TV and regretted not giving it my full attention after seeing that yes the visuals were outdated but was something that stood out in the crowd, since then I tired desperately to cacth on TV or on DVD with no luck. Doing my research I found Tron was hugely popular when it came out and was a box office (made it's budget back) and critical success.

So one thing which baffles me more then why a needles in a hay stack is why did it disappear ? It didn't live on in comics,cartoons,games or any nerd medium. Why from a capitalist corporation like Disney who over produced any franchise which was half decent (and those that weren't *cough* High school musical) why did Tron die out ? Why do we get a ton of cheap straight to video sequels of classics like the Lion King and of course three High school musical films and something which as mould breaking as The Matrix or Star Wars is forgotten and gets a few cheap rides inspired by it and a cheap cameo in Kingdom of Hearts ?

What Tron was putting out their was something as mould breaking at the Matrix. OK maybe it's better Disney didn't bloat it out, but still it didn't deserve to be carelessly forgotten and get a belated sequel (which was awesome), surely another studio like Warner Brothers saw the potential in such an idea ?

Enough rant now some nerd demands:
1. Since Disney are producing a prequel animated series to the sequel, I want it to be on the same level as the new Avengers cartoon and it should be handled by Marvel studios (Who are now part of Disney, my juries still out on that one).
2. Marvel should do some more comic work and explore different elements of the story, like the massive twenty year gap in between. Or do a crossover with the Marvel Universe, the tie-in variant covers really swayed me.- Best variant since the black suit ?
3. I want a Tron themed superhero, pretty please ? If they can give Spidey an awesome variant cover imagine what else they could produce ?
4. Please please please let the next sequel not do a Spider-man 3 or a Batman Forever.

Ok, enough wanting, that's blog 1 kids.
