Why this must be read:
Rinzler is an extremely popular character, and I think it’s due in no small part to his mystery. We can’t help but wonder what’s under the mask, what he’s thinking about (can he think?), what he would say if given the opportunity. The little we do learn about him raises more questions, the major ones being: What exactly is Rinzler, and how did Clu shape him? igrab presents a clever theory in her vivid sketch of the aftermath of Clu’s coup.
He throws the disk and screams his frustration, bending his head to cradle in his arms because it isn't fair. It isn't fair at all. He just wants what should, rightfully, be his.
He hears a clatter and a woom like a disc engaging, so he looks up. Turns his head. Sees.
They lie in a small pile, one covering the other half-way and that one, the red one, all lit up and glowing. Like it's calling to him. Like it knows.
Then, in a post-Legacy coda, she offers an equally elegant solution for the Users as they try to undo Clu’s work.
