** Tron and Beck together barely managed to subdue Cyrus and he still escaped. Tron back then had no other security program with the training needed to aid him and had to do with SealedEvilInACan.

** A couple bits of FridgeBrilliance. First off, Tron is a Creator/{{Disney}} hero, even if he did some [[TookALevelInCynic level grinding in cynic]], so he may have believed there was a possibility Cyrus could be redeemed. More cynically, Cyrus's brand of OmnicidalManiac crazy ''would'' actually work, nuking the Grid and everyone/everything on it if there was a chance Clu was going to end up in the User world (like he tried in ''Film/TronLegacy''). The Grid was also plagued with bugs and was on the verge of collapse before Clu intervened, if ''Betrayal'' was any indication, as Flynn was far too distracted to make the damn thing run properly. It's possible that Tron had a better understanding than anyone about how to exploit the bugs and assorted mess Flynn left behind.

* Why (and how) did Tron trap Cyrus in his mirror world instead of just derezzing him? This is something that's never been mentioned, referenced, or even hinted at being possible anywhere else in canon that I'm aware of.

** Who says he hasn't? The next time they meet ("Terminal") he has all the time in the world to have her executed (or so he thinks) since he takes over the garage. And he outright orders her execution at the end. But yes, his lack of reaction in "Tagged" is still a plot hole.

* Also, why didn't Tron do nothing to convince Dyson that it wasn't the ISOs who caused the riot? He could have showed him the memory where he notices a provoker among the ISO crowd.

* In "Tagged", what possessed Mara to go into Tesler's ship with Beck without her visor on? Pavel definitely knows who she is and where she works, and could easily have recognised her if he'd gotten a better look at her. Come to think of it, why ''didn't'' Pavel recognise her? He clearly sees her, albeit briefly, when she saves Moog and Rasket along with Beck.

** [[EpilepticTrees Maybe that's how it sounds when a program sings]]? They are the personifications of computer programs, after all, so they probably sound like they've been run through autotune, anyway.



* We have seen numerous times that a memory file in a program's disc does not show a video from the program's perspective. This is not logical.

* Why are there musicians in the Grid, but no singers? It can't be that they aren't programmed to, since Paige was dabbling in music despite being a medic (and later gained military training). Is it just that no one has put two and two together that voices can make music?

** Even if one were to assume getting a fresh disc were a simple matter (I doubt it, based on everything Sam went through), there remains the problem that Beck's disc had his entire time as the Renegade and his knowledge of Tron stored on it. The longer they wait, the more likely the thief is to sell it to the occupation.

* In both movies, programs are given new Identity Disks. In the second movie, we even see that it loads memories onto the disk. Why didn't Tron and Beck just try to get one of those? Sure, they had reason to get Beck's original disk back, but getting a new one would have kept Beck from becoming a liability during the search.
