Wulf Lives! Nod to "Fallen Away" in "Tron: Legacy?"

Okay, it's just too much of a coincidence for me. :) One of the primary characters in my Tron fanfiction, "Fallen Away," is Wulf, a former soldier of the MCP Warrior Elite, now a friend of Tron. Readers really like Wulf because he is gritty, honest and real. He's a big, strong burly program who you wouldn't want to mess with, but sure would want watching your back.

On New Year's Eve I went for my third viewing of "Tron: Legacy." Because it was my third time, I was paying more attention to details other than the main action. On the wide shot from Clu's perspective during the disk battle scene in the arena, the names of combatants are displayed above each competition cell. The central cell, the one right in front of you...who is the first combatant listed? WULF.

I about screamed. It was SO COOL. Not only that, but on the next wide shot a few minutes later, Wulf has defeated his opponent and is moving on to the next round. THAT'S M'BOY!!!

Yeah, I may be so vain that I think this song is about me, but that is one coincidence that is way more of a knuck than just an idea like the other similarities. I send love and thanks to my fans who put his name up there, whoever you are. Thank you from the bottom of this hardcore Tron fan's heart. Hope you enjoy the rest of the story!
