That is to say, Tron is a colonialist narrative. Flynn takes the role of a white man, which provokes the native inhabitants of the grid to action to overcome their oppressors. He wields knowledge and technologies which are perceived to be magical and otherworldly.
Multiple times, Tron would have been defeated without Flynn's User Powers. While Tron lands the killing blow for the MCP, it's only possible using the distraction Flynn provides using his abilities.
The idea of restoring the Grid to the true religion of The Users vs. the atheism of the MCP sits particularly uncomfortably with this reading of the film. In so many films featuring Native Americans, it's intended to enforce the racist notion of white superiority and divine right.
Is this an accurate read of the film? Maybe, maybe not. I'd rather suggest that it's a interesting read, and worthy of consideration and thought on your own rewatch.
That all aside, I like Tron. I've enjoyed it throughout my life, and even enjoyed the sequel and the Uprising series. It's music, visual style, and the idea of getting "inside" the computer has had profound effect on my life.
That all said, it is a Disney film, and subject to all the expected Disneyisms that entails. That's not necessarily bad, as long as you're not expecting anything particularly deep, or sociologically insightful.
There are so many books that are fascinating not because of anything the author intended to say, but what the author accidentally said.
