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 loads. 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’ll appear to be 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 an enormous 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 widespread charity streamer and sweet bar mogul Mr. Beast saying “Let’s do that!” in essentially the most monotone and robotic means doable will assist carry within the youth and make Tron: Ares an enormous hit. As an alternative, my timeline and a lot of the reactions to the advert present individuals giving up on the film earlier than it even arrives in theaters. And regardless of Mr. Beast not truly being within the film, are you able to blame them?

The film stars Jared Leto, which alone is a horrible advertising level. He’s a so-so actor who has been accused of sexual misconduct (allegations which he denies), and total he simply looks like an enormous creep. Then you’ve the plot of Tron: Ares, which appears to be constructed across the concept 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 making an attempt to drag a Producers-like stunt right here and guarantee no person watches Tron: Ares.
I suppose the one good factor to come back 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 bought 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 way in which) 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.
