Quickly becoming known as 'The Renegade,' Beck finds himself caught in a conflict against General Tesler Lance Henriksen over the impending fate of The Grid, the setting everyone resides in. While characters from the films do show up, the primary conflict is framed between Tesler and his top guards against Beck and his comrades. It's worth noting that not only does the show dive head-first into the complex themes of a society being coerced into dictatorial rule, but its characters are entirely presented as adults.
They have day jobs, they get drinks at the club, they engage in war tactics and interrogation By all accounts, the series is tonally in line with the movies but is arguably more nuanced and complex as it has breathing room to explore its ideas in a way that welcomes all ages, much like Star Wars. It didn't even premiere on the Disney Channel, but even then, the series never made sense for an exclusively younger demographic, and would've felt more appropriate in the realms of Toonami or even Adult Swim.
The show's narrative content is starkly complex when placed alongside the programming one would expect from Disney television, with its most common cousin perhaps being Motorcity. Make no mistake — this is a story about rebellion, fascism, and sacrifice for the greater good. It does not shy away from the very real and troubling themes around how populations are manipulated and controlled, which is perhaps worth considering more today than it was in when the show ended.
The show premiered on June 7, , and was directed by Charlie Bean, who also acted as executive producer alongside producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. The show was not renewed at the end of the season, but no official cancellation announcement was made by Disney.
Beck is a young program who becomes the skillful leader of a revolution inside the computer world of the Grid. His mission is to free his home and friends from the reign of the villainous Clu and his henchman General Tesler. Beck will be trained by Tron, the greatest warrior the Grid has ever known. Tron will not only teach Beck the fighting and light cycle skills he needs to challenge this brutal military occupation, but he will be a guide and mentor to him as he grows beyond his youthful, impulsive nature into a courageous, powerful, strong leader.
Destined to become "the next Tron", Beck adopts Tron's persona and becomes the arch enemy of General Tesler and his oppressive forces. Director Charlie Bean explained 'the idea was to create a distinct style for the CG show not seen elsewhere on television or in film. For the purpose of story and character development, which could branch out but not directly conflict with the events portrayed in the movies, video game, or the graphic novel TRON: Betrayal , the series is set in Argon City , located in a part of the Grid far from Tron City.
In this series' timeline, Clu has already taken over the Grid and is asserting his control over more distant areas, including Argon City. The series builds up on the background story of Tron, particularly his experiences between Evolution and Legacy. An in-game cinematic in Evolution which was shown as a flashback in Legacy shows Tron being overwhelmed by Clu and several Black Guards to give Kevin time to flee. It is implied but never explicitly shown that Tron was subdued and injured, then later reprogrammed to become Rinzler.
The series establishes that Tron was indeed injured in the fight with Clu, but was able to escape relatively intact, although weakened and suffering from grievous wounds. He fled to Argon City, later stumbling upon Beck and thus setting the stage for the show.
The series still leaves room for Tron to become Rinzler at a later time, before continuing into the events of Legacy. In the series pilot, his look switches between this and the look he adapted in the new Grid: An almost completely black suit with very minimal white circuitry but without the "T" emblem on his chest seen in Evolution and Legacy.
The white suit with white circuitry was bequeathed to Beck when Tron started training him to be "the next Tron". During field operations, he uses the black suit with minimal white circuitry with no "T". Clu's coup, a scene revisited in Legacy and Evolution , was portrayed in Uprising with two major changes: Tron wore his white suit rather than the black one which itself has more visible circuits in Evolution version of the scene than in Legacy , Dyson and at least nine Black Guards attacked Tron rather than the usual team of four shown in previous accounts.
The series features an animation style that mixes 2D animation and CGI animation. On January 7, , Storyboard artist Eric Canete has confirmed that the show won't be receiving a second season. I know at the present, I can say we need more viewers. Its live viewing audience is limited though DVR performance is strong. Such cancellation consideration by Disney is in line with Disney XD stating they are specifically tailoring their broadcasts to the 2 to 14 year old audience, and currently is succeeding in creating and marketing to that specific target demographic of very young children.
The show was moved without notice, rebroadcast, or advertising, causing many fans to accuse Disney of forcing the ratings of the show down so it could be cancelled.
While the shows storyboard artist Eric Canete tweeted that the show was ending; this was later countered by Kitisis's statement As of now, no official decision has been announced by Disney, according to several sources, including the TronUprisingFans Twitter feed, which searches every day for news on the show's ultimate fate. On February 24, TronUprisingFan confirmed that no definitive news on the shows cancellation has yet been found.
On May 9, it was announced that Disney had reached an agreement with Netflix wherein Tron: Uprising would appear on the streaming service along with four other programs. However, it was taken down on May 9, Mara actively supports what the Renegade is doing while Zed is more adverse, fearing his actions will result in more punishments being enforced on innocent programs.
On the other side of things are Tesler's Lance Henriksen efforts to qualm the Renegade's actions, often sending out his second in commands Paige Emmanuelle Chriqui and Pavel a surprisingly menacing Paul Reubens to enforce these tactics. Each character has some goal or ambition which regularly conflicts with the other side, making the fallout of their encounters feel meaningful each time.
You get the return of the classic Tron iconography like light cycles and disc wars but also delve even further into this world and its neighboring cities, revealing everything from underground racing locations to black markets to clubs.
Even the fight scenes are memorable, demonstrating a kinetic fluidity as characters chase each other across rooftops and wield everything from identity discs to staffs to augmented energy arms. Another area where Tron 3 could follow the path of Uprising is how its character moments complicate the "good vs.
Likewise, the two-parter "Scars" saw Tron consumed by vengeance toward the return of a familiar face -- his former friend turned Clu ally Dyson -- as viewers learn the extent of what he lost from Clu's betrayal. Instances like this proved the show was a surprisingly dark one, regularly killing or seriously injuring programs but somehow sidestepping the censors since derezzing reduced their bodies to pixelated cubes.
