Is the "Tron" universe cyberpunk? Let's discuss.

##Janitor:Stormy##

| I'd say so.


| Neon =/= cyberpunk. The aesthetic may seem so, but the whole theme is feels more adventurous.

| Is frisbee the most cyberpunk weapon?


| Lower caste inhabitans using widely available technology to fight an autharian ruling class in a futuristic-looking sci-fi setting populated with AI?

It touches so many Cyberpunk staples it can't be nothing but.


| Tron universe isn't set in the future, this neon aesthetics and universe might be indeed futuristic for us, but it's just a graphical interpretation of computers and programs.
So nope.


| >>535005 Memory a bit rusty, but wasn't there a machine that transforms humans into data and put them into the game? That should count as an "20 minutes into the future" future, at least for someone in 1982.

That's... kinda how the story starts, yeah. In both films, the digitizing laser thinger transports the MC's into the Tron universe where they then meet the titular characters.


| No. It's just a weird 80s setting where you can somehow enter a videogame, not cyberpunk at all imo.


| Ready Player One but without a story.
