Funny admission about the TRON franchise

This article has a lot of funny truths about where TRON fits in the nerd-verse: https://open.substack.com/pub/paulscheer/p/i-dont-get-tron 

Tron has always been an odd bird.  The art and the style of this Syd Mead world is incredible and really indelible in terms of its impact.  I even bought a TRON doll from Disney World which has my face and a crappy sound chip saying weird TRON-like computer things after riding the TRON cycle rollercoaster.  SO obviously a fan.

But the story lore doesn't fully hang together and even the sequels don't really explain too much how this world hangs together. Why doesn't Bruce Boxleitner show up more prominently if he is the titular character of the whole universe?  I mean they say "Welcome to TRON." ; not "Welcome to Jeff-Bridges-character-who-has-no-real-name."

And yet, I will probably watch TRON:Ares.
