Tron Ares also does get more interesting the more you know about computers and software and all that junk. The concept of forking software in particular has me VERY intrigued and it could potentially explain some elements that weren't explicitly noted, which a lot of people seem to be a little bit confused by.

This was a point that a lot of people took issue with as far as the original Tron goes. They didn't really understand computers a lot, waaaay less back then than we do now, and so there were some things that just went right over people's heads.

Basically, I believe that Ares might be a fork of Tron because the Dillinger grid is probably a fork of the ENCOM grid which contained Tron's code. Tron fights for the user, but Dillinger didn't fully understand what that meant because they rush things too fast due to their extreme amounts of funding from the US military.

I hope that is the case! I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be.
