A brand new promo for the upcoming Tron: Ares options Mr. Beast in it and….*sigh* I’m simply going to lie down for a second. I’m very drained.
Why should Tron followers endure? It’s a query I’ve thought of quite a bit. New Tron films are uncommon. Tron video games are sometimes good, however nowhere close to as plentiful as these for Star Wars or different manufacturers. For years at a time, it should look like Disney has forgotten it even owns the franchise, then it returns for a bit earlier than going again into hibernation as soon as extra. I ought to, as a giant Tron sicko, be excited for Tron: Ares. And I used to be, at one level. However not anymore…not anymore.
On September 5, Disney launched a brand new have a look at Tron: Ares, however earlier than anybody may get to the brand new footage that includes everybody’s favourite particular person, Jared Leto, we needed to get a Mr. Beast jumpscare. Apparently, Disney thinks common charity streamer and sweet bar mogul Mr. Beast saying “Let’s do that!” in essentially the most monotone and robotic approach potential will assist deliver within the youth and make Tron: Ares a giant hit. As an alternative, my timeline and a lot of the reactions to the advert present folks giving up on the film earlier than it even arrives in theaters. And regardless of Mr. Beast not really being within the film, are you able to blame them?

The film stars Jared Leto, which alone is a horrible advertising and marketing level. He’s a so-so actor who has been accused of sexual misconduct (allegations which he denies), and total he simply looks like a giant creep. Then you might have the plot of Tron: Ares, which appears to be constructed across the thought of digital beings from the Grid being introduced into the actual world. Meh. It’s neat to see a Lightcycle slice a police automotive in half, however leaving the Grid looks like a mistake. Now, the film is being promoted by Mr. Beast. It virtually looks like Disney is attempting to drag a Producers-like stunt right here and guarantee no person watches Tron: Ares.
I assume the one good factor to return out of Tron: Ares is the existence of some new 9 Inch Nails music. That’s cool. I like that. Even when the film sucks, at the very least it helped push Disney to remaster Tron: Legacy in 4K and acquired us all some new NIN songs. So not a complete loss.
The unhappy factor is, I’ll nonetheless be there on day one (that’s October 10, by the best way) to see Tron: Ares as a result of I really like Tron and need extra of it. “Let’s do that,” certainly, Mr. Beast. Certainly.
