Who else here thinks the animation style they used for this show is incredible?

This isn't just a villain who wants his hero totally destroyed. This is a villain that wants the whole world see him destroy his hero!

-Did he say "he forfeits"? -Yes sir. -He can't do that... -I think he just did... sir. -¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"I don't care if he's Flynn himself. He's still going to die." ...I'm sorry, back up a minute, that's one of the most absurdly badass lines a Program could possibly utter (in-context, anyway) why are we not discussing it?

Good story✅strong and not stupid villans ✅no overpowerd heroes✅unique style✅.I'm sad that Disney cencelled it.

"I do not care if this man is god himself, he is going to die at my hands" That really just encompasses Tesler's entire personality doesn't it?

Also, I'm glad Pavel wasn't completely a generic villain and could actually be conniving when wanted to be.

13:00 Okay, standing dominant on a slowly descending platform, wearing a cloak over blowing winds, flying fragmented material in the air in slow motion, *_1000% Badassery!_*

I forgot how ruthless and malicious Tesler was. That final scene you showed brings back all the reasons why I hated this bastard. Shame we never got to see him destroyed.

This show had such good villains. They had a complex one in Paige, a sadistic psychopath in Paval, an intelligent and charismatic leader in Tesler, a nemesis villain for Tron in Dyson, a dark reflection villain for Beck in Cyrus, and a couple of punk jackasses for Beck, Mara, and Zed when Beck isn't being the Renegade, not to mention a tragic fallen hero in Cutler (who was voiced by the late great Lance Reddick RIP). This show may have only had one season but they actually had an honest to god rouges gallery and it's incredible. And none of them were chumps. They were all actually competent villains. It's a shame we don't get more like that

This show is one of hte best cartoons of the 2010s. I still miss it so.

And an absolutely A-grade performance from Hendriksen all the way through.

Why dose Disney cancel all the shows that don't immediately get as popular as spongbob even though there still good

This guy's voice is so fucking amazing! It's really intimidating and badass.

Tesler is the perfect embodiment of the phrase "Doing whatever it takes to win". He will manipulate and crush anyone in order to achieve his goals.

Wished they did not cancel the show I liked it.

The animation and writing of this show was stellar. It didn't deserve to be sabotaged.

A villain who actually respects his subordinates? *Unthinkable!* Edit: Until he starts murdering his grunts, lol. Double edit: Until he murders his lieutenant, lol.

AWWWWWWW YEAH General Teslar. That first fight with him and Beck got me hooked on the show, I just didn't expect his stretch arm ability. I was like holy shit that's awesome.

Tesler is voiced by a man named Lance Henriksen. When Lance was two years old, his parents divorced. When he was a young boy, he was always getting into trouble, and even saw the inside of a children's home. He didn't learn to read until he was an adult. He taught himself by reading scripts. Lance could of easily ended up like Tesler: a fearsome monster who would kill you just because you brought him bad news. But he didn't. Lance rose above it all. Your actions are YOUR actions. Don't let your past control you.

This was a good show, too bad they cancelled it.

I am so mad that the show was canceled, and on a cliffhanger no less! Tesler was awesome, and he voiced by one of my favorite voice actors!

this show thundercats (2011) and symbionic titan should have gotten more then 1 season

General Tesler is the embodiment of the Lawful Evil Alignment.

Hoping that someday disney brings back this awesome series.

"Their loyalty is to the State. I rule the State."

Teslar would be an awesome Kingdom Hearts boss!

Idk why but Tesler is giving me a Darth Vader aura , well I mean with all the "killing his men if they failed" deal

Glad to see this, considering I wasn't able to watch the show. And seeing more of Lance Henriksen is if anything a bonus in my eyes.

This show is soooo underrated! It's sucks that this had to be cancelled.

7:18 "Did he just forfeit?" "I believe he did, sir." *Wait, that's illegal.*

"Be loyal to me and I will never betray you."Tesler takes after his master when it comes to the subtle lies.

13:07 Dang the sheer power behind the delivery of that line

Such an underrated gem

Gauron is a Malicious Mercenary Griffith is a Beguiling Back-stabber Slade is a Pedagogical Planner Joker is a Hilarious Hypocrite Naraku is a Demonic Defiler Please make these happen, we love your videos.

It's A Shame The Series Ended. It Was A Great Show. I Loved The Stylized Look Of The Characters. It Ended When Things Were Getting Good.....

Tesler might just be the absolute worst program in the show (morally, he’s like one of my favourite antagonists). Almost every other program under the Order of Clu (which is what I like to call Clu’s regime since I heard it in Evolution) has one reason or another to do what they do. Dyson has undying loyalty to Clu because of what he did for him during the ISO crisis. Fixing his face and confirming his bias and basically doing things that god himself wouldn’t. Clu himself does what he does for a better system. Even if it means programs and users alike die in the process he will achieve what he has been programmed to do. Create the perfect system and destroy any potential threats to that system. Tesler? He seems to just abuse his power because he can. He kills his own subordinates for the smallest of reasons like disagreeing with him, he murders programs doing what they’ve been told because he finds it fun (that smirk on his face when the two programs said that they helped him is all the evidence I need of that statement) and the absolute arrogance of this man. The man openly says with a straight face that he didn’t care if it was god himself under the mask of the renegade. He’d have the power to kill him either way. Furthermore, he doesn’t care about the system or any other programs than himself. Clu has reasons to kill when needed. The ISOs were a threat in his eyes and so were anyone harbouring them. He wouldn’t say… drill the entire energy of a city that could’ve potentially blown said city to kingdom come like Tessler does. Because for a perfect system to work there needs to be programs and people to live in it. This didn’t come to mind in Tessler’s point of view in fact he outright admits that he doesn’t care about them dying as long as they have the energy for… something? Tessler is the worst possible person to have the kind of power he has. A selfish, arrogant monster that doesn’t care about anyone else but himself and will openly kill people with a smile on his face while hiding behind protocols and regulations. A man who openly refers to the people under his care as sheep that only follow the state. Even if it’s someone as operant as him ruling it in Argon.

Here's the thing: To me, Tesler was not a compelling villain because of his stature, voice, or intimidating presence. What made him compelling to me is that this program, this man, Tesler... is TERRIFIED of failing. All of his confidence and bravado falls apart at the sight of chaos in his city. Every night, his head is full of nightmares being humiliated and evaded by this Tron-imitation and he wakes up every morning, restless. He knows that if he fails to bring this city to heel, Clu will have him replaced and derezzed. Tesler lives in a constant state of fear and will literally stop at nothing to bring order. THAT is what makes him a compelling villain.

Tesler is a real bastard. Very good villain.

His face is really well animated

I love General Tesler and the CLU

Shit gets real when he starts using his arms.

I like how that other characters fight with martial arts, while teslar on the other hand fights with a more brute force and boxing like fighting style

Who else felt bad for Paige?

I like this villain

Never watched this show but it's looks awesome

Yesss, thank you I loved this show

11:03 Okay, Tesler, I get that you want to hunt down and destroy the Renegade, but was PUNCHING through this Black Guard really necessary? 2:27-2:47 That leitmotif is so damn cool!

Who else wants to bring this show and franchise back

I'll always find it hilarious that they always park the ship and keep the huge door open all the time

You know you've done a villain right when they can make extendo arms terrifying and intimidating

I miss this show so much

Hey, kudos on the great effort and time you put into the videos. Keep it up :)

Evil program Clu,Tesler,Abrax and Dyson,Cyrus Not really bad programs Rinzler - Tron Paige - medic

I was hoping this would be some kind of a deep dive into general tesler and his terrifying tactics. And how even though he isnt the main villain of the franchise that being clu he still manages to be an intimidating and despicable villain as well as pavel being the little weasel that he is whispering in his ears sweet nothings also of course the drop dead beautiful paige that is at a crossroads with whether she wants to continue on clu’s side or joining tron aka beck

Clu 2.0 is the best Tron villain in my opinion, but damn Tesler is good.

4:24 there goes the only Asian person in this show

This show was so awesome

God it’s been years since I watched this, like 5 or more years

I like how this guy was inspired by the villain of OG 1982 movie

He was always so quick to kill people

General Shepard at it again.

Great show back then.

his "welcome home" line seems to be a reference to SWTOR may be wrong but its awfully similar

13:45 your welcome Internet

I always wondered: if the show continued would Paige have ever learn what Tesler had done to her friends? I always dreams of that but yet... I will never know.

Paige is CAKED UP.

Legit got sad when I finished watching this. I've never felt like that before except for True Detective.

Man, you HAD to include Bodhi's death. God damn, mother-f*cking Disney! Curse those bastards for not finishing this show.

Take a minute and realize that this show had death and IT WAS MADE FOR KIDS. Man this show was awesome. If released now it would have gotten so much backlash from the public.

I got a soft spot for scenes where the main villain is having work done on him. Idk why, just the vulnerability of it makes it cooler for me.

Fun Fact: He's voiced by General Shepherd 😈

I miss this show

Why on earth did they cancel this show?

2:33 Leave no witnesses

wow he looks great as a villain

The Jedi historian from swtor

I wonder if Dyson would be coming next, he's the second most recurring villain from this series. Plus, who doesn't love John Glover?

Makes me miss actually well written and well developed action cartoons even more. Back when villians were actually threatning and evil, not written as redeemable characters.

Who's death was that at the end

Omg its admiral hacket from mass effect.

11:25 When you do your job, but you've still fucked up.

Tesler being a tyrant. General Shepard kills ghost and roach

A great man.

what is the name of this show?

Might I recommend Oslo from Skyland next? I always thought he was a great villain

TRON LIVES

Could you do The Major from Hellsing Ultimate?

I am ashamed of myself for not watching this series back in the day

Think you can do Arrowverse villains, or do you only do animated villains?

Dig your videos, Mr emptyman sir.

Man bishop became a really jaded old man

Love tron

Okay KZfaq, I finally watched it.

i like the idea wo general teslar he looks badass

Even though the show was cancelled, I always felt it fitting that in the end Beck and Tron beat him and Tesler can’t come to terms with the fact Tron is alive even as he stands before him. Then Clu walks in. As Tesler feels happy, he starts smiling smugly. But then feels pain and look to see a hole in or blade through his chest. “You have failed me once too many times, Tesler” Clu says coldly. “If you want something done, and don’t be right you have to do it yourself” Clu rants angrily. “When surrounded by idiots and incompetence, *Never* let the mindless automated peons do the job when you are far better and actually know what to do and how to do it.” Now on the receiving end of when minion get killed for failure. Tesler drops his guard as terror visibly sweeps over him. “Clu, wait” Tesler starts to say, “Shut up and derezz, you worthless miserable program” Clu retorts. “I have much more important things to do” Clu then looks to Tron and smiles wickedly. “Like reuniting with my dear old friend Tron, and we have so much catching up to do.” He then draws his disk.

Can you please do the one with DIO from Jojo Bizarre Adventure? :\

Heraclio Is A Remorseless Tyrant Please make the video

Why did "Tron" take so much Longer to "de-res"?

Except that Tesler was actually derezzed at the end of the season
