Disney has tried translate its animated magic to a lot of live-action fantasies over the years. The Tron movies are emblematic of their failures.

There might be no true consensus there. 80% of people probably just recognise the face and/or name, which is what makes him "bankable" despite the fact that the other 20% will have an actual opinion about him. Only a subset of those will feel the need to comment online.

The takeaway is that society safely ignores the commentariat most of the time on most issues. If you want to move the needle with the majority of people who don't pay attention to anything, you'll have to spend "Tron sequel advert money"
