  1. Also the concept of programs getting into our world........I am now flashing back to the heavily inspired by TRON tv series AUTOMAN Perhaps ARES goes on a rampage and TRON is brought in to stop him? One can only hope
  2. Well Flynn comes from another world into the Grid so his senses would be altered. Strictly speaking though in TRON, he WAS composed of energy and had to drink energy to recharge himself along with RAM and TRON. As such he could divert that beam of energy from the MCP, and also absorb energy from that guard of Sark and turn red, then later shift back to blue. Something that I don't think TRON realized could be done as we would later see that in TRON Uprising and later with TRON becoming Rinzler. Yet LEGACY seems to indicate it is a different dimension that they are sent to, but still as flesh and blood given that Sam did BLEED after being cut by Rinzler in the games. If he was energy, should he not have energy sparking from that cut? Also he is eating would looks like real food with his Dad, which would mean that FLynn has a garden? Thus the premise of programs getting into our world becomes more possible if it is a dimensional shift rather then matter/energy conversion.
  3. That was Dumont talking to Dillinger about the spirit carrying over. As to the programs, well TRON seems to convey the impression that nearly all the programs are AI and CAN think for themselves but they still have loyalty to their user. MCP, Sark and their army all began to think for themselves and began to disbelieve and disregard the users. TRON however while he does think for himself is dedicated to his user and then later FLynn and is a warrior program designed to secure and protect the Grid.
  4. It was a bonus scene, the voice Dillinger Jr was speaking to was the voice of the MCP or maybe it was the voice of Sr. through a synthesizer, but it is more likely a new version of the MCP. Dumont stated the MCP was once a chess program. Then Dillinger augmented it considerably. As to it stating that "no one user wrote me" that could be its ego talking. Dillinger is the likely creator and sole creator of the MCP. As to MCP blackmailing Dillinger, well Dillinger like many other creators of AI in fiction never seem to consider the possibility of their creation evolving too far and too fast and thus no safeguards are programmed in. Dillinger could easily have brought a powered electro magnet into the MCP server room and ended the problem but the MCP was crucial to ENCOM at the time., so he was stuck. TRON LEGACY: Flynn's own confidence and pride blinded him to CLU2 building things up to go renegade. No safeguards are in CLU2 to keep him loyal. Plus what FLynn did was take the old CLU code, modify it and then use it and himself as a template to xerox himself to make CLU2. CLU2 is a user/program hybrid AI. He thinks similarly to Flynn and they can anticipate each other's moves most of the time. But CLU2 is still a unique program and thus cannot fully comprehend emotions and was inflexible in his thinking and couldn't evolve himself and thus thought ISOs were a threat.
  5. I've read conflicting reports for some time whether this is a reboot or a sequel to Legacy. Legacy left some unanswered questions which I doubt this movie will deal with. 1. Can Quora live in our world? 2. Looked like Sam downloaded the Grid to a usb drive that he keeps with him, does this mean the Grid is truly shut down? 3. What is TRON's status 4. What of the digitization tech? 5. there is a bonus scene on the blu ray of Sam taking control of Encom and of Dillinger Jr talking to the MCP..... 6. Flynn was the source/epicenter of the blast at the end that destroyed Clu's carrier......is he really dead?

  7. Doom and Richards met in college, Doom was seeking a way to contact the netherworld in an effort to free his mother's spirit from Mephisto. Reed saw Doom's notes and warned there were some errors in his calculations. Doom didn't listen and the device which had a visor over his face exploded and some minor scarring of his face happened. It was when he later had his armor forged that he ordered his mask to be placed upon him.......even though it was fresh out of the forge and had NOT COOLED off. That is what messed up his face so badly.
  8. There were issues of the FF comic that showed Doom's origin and that the scar from the initial accident wasn't that bad. It was when he later had his armor forged that he ordered his mask to be placed upon him.......even though it was fresh out of the forge and had NOT COOLED off. That is what messed up his face so badly.

    AE badge missions

    Try story arc #40418 be sure to have an open slot or 2 in your inspiration tray and play it in architect rewards/ticket mode for the Energized badge. That badge doesn't seem to award in regular mode like it did on live. After that you will need to get the Test Mode badges, and also Among Friends badge
  10. Check out the Atom Eve origin movie they made if you haven't already.
  11. So in City of Heroes power terminology, having rewatched Season 1 thru 3 a few times, especially the Season 1 and 3 finale fights, I would say that in the game a Viltrumite would be in terms of AT and powers: 1. Brute (they can be injured and bleed profusely so NOT a tank) 2. Super Strength with perma charged RAGE on auto fire 3. Easily maxed up Fury bar 4. WILLPOWER for their secondary. They are not immune to all damage but they also regenerate from extreme injuries. Invincible was beaten to a pulp by his own father in season 1 and survived. Maxed up heal, health and regeneration 5. Alpha slot is either Vigor Core or Resilient Radial 6. Judgement is the MIGHTY judgement. They have yet to really be shown hurling fireballs or lightning but MIGHTY suits them 7. Interface: players choice 8. Destiny: T4 Rebirth Radial or T4 Ageless Core, either one fits for a Viltrumite 9. Hybrid: T4 Either Assault for more damage or Melee to boost regeneration Obviously I am not saying we make copy cat costumes and names for characters I am simply speaking in terms of their powers. 🙂 Opinions?
  12. Budget constraints probably. I think you will be happy with Season 3 🙂
  13. Tactical error on Eve's part in the fight: when she increased the air density she should have them formed a tungsten steel cube around Conquest plus an energy force field. Yes Viltrumites can hold their breath for a long time, but dense air is not that healthy to breathe and there wouldn't be much for him to breathe. If she could have maintained that double layer cage, she could have stopped him. Still this shows that Mark and especially Eve are the two first, best, last and only hope on Earth against the Viltrumites. But they are not enough. Mark has upgraded and trained but he is still a baby Viltrumite in terms of power differential between him and the others. Also they have more experience in battle and Mark for some time now has held back considerable amounts of his might.....except for when he was on Thraxa and just now in this episode. Since the cartoon is following the comic lore rather well, this won't happen but still....Mark needs to talk to Cecil and Robot about making a gravity chamber where he can have the gravity increased to levels greater then Earth. Once he acan move easily in the increased gravity they then increase it more and more, as much as the chamber can increase it. By moving in that gravity until he can move as easily as he can in normal Earth gravity and by lifting weights in that gravity, to say he would have muscles like iron would be an understatement. His power levels in normal gravity on Earth would be greatly increased and so would his speed. Also loved the HULK reference in the fight "Getting mad doesn't make you stronger! That's NOT how it works!"
  14. Yep the episode is a near mirror exact copy of the comics. And Invincible gets a nice reward at the end.
  15. Funniest line in the fight for me: "Take a break while I focus on the boy!" then backhands Invincible into a building
  16. Well ep 7 compressed the Invincible War a bit, so I do hope they do an animated movie that really shows the war but the season finale in ep 8 was awesome.
  17. Send a total of 5 alts this week that need to finish Partner badge into the Cavern of Transcendence trial and EACH one solos it 35 times each....... Or put it this way: "So 3 tanks and 2 brutes each separately enter the Cavern of Transcendence and solo it 35 times each......"

  18. You shoot the extinguisher at the fire, it MISSES.........and then the building explodes in your face.
  19. This is indeed a tragedy. He should have had a live in caretaker or else been in a nursing home, and if he was bedridden most of the time then likely he should have been in hospice care. RIP
  20. I just had an idea for how they could create a small squadron of heroes to help against things like multiple Invincibles and the impending Viltrumite invasion I have read the comics (the art at times......eeesh) but anyway what they could do is this: 1. I suspect Rudy/Robot thoroughly monitored and recorded the Maulers cloning process and mind copy/paste process 2. We get some blood from Invincible and then make say........5 clones. However instead of Mark's mind being transferred into them and thus having the whole clone/original conflict of the Maulers, they could take the heroes that were critically injured and copy/paste their minds into the clone bodies. The original will perish just like it was with Rudy/Robot and the world gets new heroes. Modify the costume and appearance of them so they aren't impersonating Invincible, of course. Or in lieu of critically injured and dying heroes I am sure there are plenty of soldiers critically wounded and dying from the Invincible War that could be copy/pasted into a clone body of Invincible. If I were Cecil I would have to seriously consider this plan as I would be in charge of defending Earth and would need weapons/soldiers to do so.
  21. Just wait until next week's season finale!
  22. Enjoying the series so far, it is a nice resumption of the story from the Netflix series. Now if we can get Season 3 for Cage.....
  23. Episode 7 now available for viewing! It was awesome!
  24. I think the next 2 eps will satisfy the need for action. 🙂
  25. You need to add in the merchandise sales as well, Which as I recall for Ep 8 and 9 the toys were not flying off the shelf.
