General Tesler Is A Terrifying Tyrant

- This is a video depicting a compilation of scenes of a scary villain from my memories, the ruthless general and leader under the Empire of CLU, General Tesler (voiced by Lance Henriksen) from the show Tron: Uprising. He proved to be a considerably frightening villain strictly because of his cold sadism and utter ruthlessness present in many dictators with the physical power to make his reach nearly unstoppable.The fact his subordinates were in more danger of death than his enemies also made him quite the ferocious villain. Hope you enjoy him as I did!

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!
Exactly.
The Renegade has become a symbol of hope and defiance. When a symbol is destroyed before the eyes of the people, it becomes an even more powerful symbol of weakness and despair.

Who else here thinks the animation style they used for this show is incredible?
First of let me say: Nice Thrawn picture. Now on to the animation. I am no expert but personally considering the universe of Tron i thought the design fit the universe perfectly. It was a bit strange at first but i quickly got used to it. I definitely recommend searching the show online and watching all the episodes that aired. If you liked Rebels or Clone Wars i am 95% certain you will like this one as well. It has likeable characters on all sides (good,evil and neutral civilians) who also get developed properly, a good story, an even better soundtrack and it knows how to balance well written humor with serious tone and it offers valuable lessons. One of the best cartoons ever made. Sadly it was cancelled way too soon with a major cliffhanger (F/CK YOU DISNEY).
I do.
They shoud've used a similar animation style for star wars Rebel because it seems like a good show but the animation looks so cheap and often makes it hard to focus on the story which is the main reason i never got into it. But yeah Tron Uprising was just an amazing show way ahead of its time with equally amazing asthetics as an added bonus.
I liked it with exception to the faces. So many of the human faces look stretched out and long.
It was by the sane people who animated Motor City
"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?
I will. It emphasizes the arrogance the character has. Declaring he can kill his world's equivalent to God if needed.
This shows how much Clu and his army doesn't care for Flynn, Tesler is daring enough to kill his creator
It practically shows the length Tesler would go to, just to put an end to the renegade, even killing his maker to do it.
Good story✅strong and not stupid villans ✅no overpowerd heroes✅unique style✅.I'm sad that Disney cencelled it.
-Did he say "he forfeits"?
-Yes sir.
-He can't do that...
-I think he just did... sir.
-¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"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.
And an absolutely A-grade performance from Hendriksen all the way through.
Agreed, he has one of the best bad guy voices in the business next to Ron Perlman and Keith David.
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.
Hated? Oh, no. That's not how I felt. He was something truly monstrous. I mean, hell, the guy growls like an animal whenever he's angry. But, I felt as if, somewhere deep down, he was actually someone who was deeply, deeply troubled. Someone who had been screwed up by some kind of experience that left him afraid of being weak. He was one of my favorite characters on the show, but I was afraid of him. Very, very, very afraid of him.
Funnily enough, in a continuation of the story I've brainstormed but haven't written yet, he's either demoted after Clu arrives in Argon, derezzed for plotting behind Clu's back, or attacked and imprisoned by Paige after she learns he lied to her about what happened to her friends.

Olix Here you go man.

But this isn't just an animatic. These are official storyboards for Season 2 of the show. And based on this and how Legacy begins, I'd assume Season 2 would go about like this.
>CLU arrives in Argon
>The Uprising is really starting to get into gear
>Tron and Beck are mowing through blackguards and leading the underground
>CLU gives Tessler one final chance to bring order to Argon
>Tessler derezzes more and more Uprising programs, but can't find the Renegade
>Gets executed by CLU for failure
>Paige gets his job, increasing rivalry with increasingly deranged Pavel
>Side arc where Cyrus returns, does some existential stuff, but gets caught by CLU
>Gets derezzed by CLU, who doesn't give a fuck about his philosophy
>Midseason finale is Tron and Beck vs CLU and Dyson
>Tron sacrifices self to let Beck escape
>Tron murders Dyson in the process, but gets repurposed by Clu into Rinzler
>Beck and resistance find contingency plan that Tron left behind
>Get to Central I/O hub to contact the Users
>The entire Uprising, which is getting slaughtered in the streets, goes for a mad dash to the finish to send the message
>Secondary plot is Paige having doubts about Clu
>Culminates in Paige derezzing crazy Pavel, and flipping sides
>Finale is the last members of the Uprising getting to the I/O hub (maybe with a Zuse cameo)
>Everyone's getting derezzed
>Mara gets derezzed
>Zed gets derezzed
>Rinzler is sawing his way through the last of the Argon crew
>Beck stays back to hold him off
>Sends Paige to send the message to the Users
>Beck gets maimed, Rinzler hesitates, and doesn't finish it, lets Beck buy time
>Paige gets the page out, sends Tron's final message to his User, Alan Bradley's pager
>Paige gets derezzed
>Beck is surrounded and captured
>Last scene is Beck (bearing similar scars to Tron) in The Games, getting pummeled by Rinzler
>sees Flynn's Arcade light up in the distance

"Badass Bad Guy" CinemaWins, most videos
That.was.badass!
@@tron-fan1824 they said it for CLU in their Tron legacy video too
@@aniquenazir6110 oh yeah, I remember
This show is one of hte best cartoons of the 2010s. I still miss it so.
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
Why dose Disney cancel all the shows that don't immediately get as popular as spongbob even though there still good
Creed Luvari and yet....they have the money and power to keep these shows on the air... Also they need to learn to take chances.
They are taking more risks with Star vs and gravity falls had loads of suggestive and adult themes.
SpongeBob is Nick not Disney.
Because who needs original content when Star Wars and Marvel are printing money for you?
Deku because this One looks ugly like your sister
General Tesler is the embodiment of the Lawful Evil Alignment.
indeed.
The animation and writing of this show was stellar. It didn't deserve to be sabotaged.
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.
This guy's voice is so fucking amazing! It's really intimidating and badass.
if you met lance henrinkison irl tell him you loved how he did the character and wish you could hear more of tesler's voice.
It’s the same voice of Kerchak from Tarzan
"Their loyalty is to the State. I rule the State."
this show thundercats (2011) and symbionic titan should have gotten more then 1 season
Especially symbionic titan im happy sum one Else gives the show credit for being good
& MotorCity
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.
it should make you pissed that they didn't make a second season because they show how Clu deals with teslers hands. give you a spoiler they were chopped off as punishment.
@@toomanyaccounts I've seen the animatic before. It's a shame that it was cancelled.
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!
Wished they did not cancel the show I liked it.
Maximillian Arturo me too lol 😔😔
Maximillian Arturo yeah and they just had to leave us on such a dang cliffhanger
General Tesler was such a cool character he made the show in my opinion :)
Maximillian Arturo I’ve always wanted to see Paige learn the truth about the general
@@joelfigueredo1168 I really hate Disney for that. If not for Kingdom Hearts, I'd leave Disney entirely.
A villain who actually respects his subordinates? *Unthinkable!*
Edit: Until he starts murdering his grunts, lol.
Double edit: Until he murders his lieutenant, lol.
Hoping that someday disney brings back this awesome series.
Ferdelav Disney+ might make it happen
If Star Wars: The Clone Wars can return & release it final Season, then there is still hope for another Tron: Uprising Season.
They won't and for 1 reason, There is no happy ending.
most of the main characters die, and by the end of legacy... everyone except Quorra and Sam died.
@@ZUnknownFox There are some reasons that makes me think this is a spin-off series like the moment they "almost" brainwash Tron and didn't, and that "virus" character.
@@zathuramon It has to be because the timeline of the movies and the game (tron evolution) doesn't make sense if this were to somehow fit in there. so it has to be an alternate universe/timeline.
This was a good show, too bad they cancelled it.
deathshadow2492 It ended on a cliffhanger
deathshadow2492 Actually it's on hiatus, they didn't say it was cancelled.
They did.
Motor City had more big episodes than this.
I wish Disney didn't cancel it
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.
Very well said.
Maybe that's why he played him so well?
@@mrdragoon3344 By George, I think he’s got it!
@@allykins1767 Come here after the pitch leak?
@@mrdragoon3344 What pitch leak?
Idk why but Tesler is giving me a Darth Vader aura , well I mean with all the "killing his men if they failed" deal
Teslar would be an awesome Kingdom Hearts boss!
Hell yeah
hells to the yeah.
Tesler, Kane, fat cat, mozenrath, Bill and Demona would all make great Kingdom heart bosses.
Tao Jones T.jones and Mirage...she was such a freaking sadist...
True. If she teamed up with Jafar and Mozenrath, Aladdin would be in so much trouble.
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.
Go find this show and watch it. its one of the best of the 2010s (for animation) and its IMO the best thing of the TRON franchise.
And also in Transformers Animated he was the Bounty Hunter Lockdown's voice which is badass character too.
Did you ever watch the "Yellow" episode, the Season 3 finale for Tales from the Crypt? Lance Henriksen played Sergeant Ripper (which is a pretty hardcore name, right off the bat). He gives a tremendous performance in that episode, and even when he's getting blown away by a German grenade, he sounds like someone you don't want to mess with!
"Yellow" is on CZcams somewhere, last time I checked. It also stars the legendary Kirk Douglas, his late son Eric Douglas and Dan Aykroyd in a rare serious role. Have a look! :-)
"Be loyal to me and I will never betray you."Tesler takes after his master when it comes to the subtle lies.
Even when they are loyal and mess up, he still derezzes them.
This show is soooo underrated! It's sucks that this had to be cancelled.
13:07
Dang the sheer power behind the delivery of that line
Such an underrated gem
His face is really well animated
7:18
"Did he just forfeit?"
"I believe he did, sir."
*Wait, that's illegal.*
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.
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 is a real bastard. Very good villain.
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.
I'll give Naraku a shot and see what I can do. Slade already has a video (czcams.com/video/0ZW-kUFiOGE/video.html) that suits my needs as does Griffith (czcams.com/video/OoTYeCGCvCI/video.html). Joker videos I try to upload are blocked the instant I try to upload them, so no luck there. Gauron isn't suitable enough as a villain to me since he is mainly a bloodthirsty madman who even tried to kill himself which is bad for a successful villain.
EmptyMan000 Good to know ^.^
I miss this show so much
I love General Tesler and the CLU
Shit gets real when he starts using his arms.
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.
I like this villain
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
Look at his body...there is no way he could do Martial Arts. His fighting style fits his personality even knowing how possibly heavy his power hands are.
Never watched this show but it's looks awesome
Who else wants to bring this show and franchise back
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!
I'll always find it hilarious that they always park the ship and keep the huge door open all the time
Who else felt bad for Paige?
You know you've done a villain right when they can make extendo arms terrifying and intimidating
Yesss, thank you
I loved this show
Hey, kudos on the great effort and time you put into the videos. Keep it up :)
General Shepard at it again.
Clu 2.0 is the best Tron villain in my opinion, but damn Tesler is good.
He was always so quick to kill people
Evil program
Clu,Tesler,Abrax and Dyson,Cyrus
Not really bad programs
Rinzler - Tron
Paige - medic
4:24 there goes the only Asian person in this show
Paige: hold my light cycle!
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
13:45 your welcome Internet
Honestly, that style of humor reminds me of Avatar The Last Airbender. I love it so much
This show was so awesome
Paige is CAKED UP.
Great show back then.
Karlos1234ify n
his "welcome home" line seems to be a reference to SWTOR may be wrong but its awfully similar
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
2:33 Leave no witnesses
The Jedi historian from swtor
Fun Fact: He's voiced by General Shepherd 😈
Legit got sad when I finished watching this. I've never felt like that before except for True Detective.
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.
Most likely
wow he looks great as a villain
Man, you HAD to include Bodhi's death. God damn, mother-f*cking Disney! Curse those bastards for not finishing this show.
Also, I pity Paige for joining that sack of sh*t liar. Despite that, however, she deserves to be de-rezzed for joining him [willingly or not].
"I don't care if he's Flynn himself. He's still gonna die.... a magnificent death."
Jeez, that's like some-one saying they wanna kill God.
Indeed. I think that last comment was a direct portrayal to Tesler's own arrogance.
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.
I miss this show
TRON LIVES
Dig your videos, Mr emptyman sir.
Why on earth did they cancel this show?
Tesler being a tyrant.
General Shepard kills ghost and roach
Man bishop became a really jaded old man
Okay CZcams, I finally watched it.
11:25 When you do your job, but you've still fucked up.
I am ashamed of myself for not watching this series back in the day
Omg its admiral hacket from mass effect.
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?
Not really. The most recurring villains besides Tesler would actually be Pavel and Paige, but Pavel's just an angry smug snake and Paige is just a witless pawn. As for Dyson, he doesn't have enough decent scenes I can use. All that I have is that he was once friend of Tron with minor racism, got scarred, became super racist and betrayed Tron, tortured him, and stayed a jerk from that point on. Not much of a villain.
EmptyMan000 What about Tron's former apprentice Cyrus? He tried to destroy the grid and make Beck and tron suffer. He only appeared in two episodes but he left a huge impact on the characters and show.
@@tayojones9460 I have a Cyrus video. Will upload on Vimeo later.
@@tayojones9460 Cyrus was more of an antivillain meant to represent the opposite extreme to Tesler and CLU`s Social Darwinism and fascism.
A great man.
Might I recommend Oslo from Skyland next? I always thought he was a great villain
Could you do The Major from Hellsing Ultimate?
Perhaps, if I could piece the scenes together properly but I make no guarantees for him.
Possible Titles
"The Major Is a Nefarious Nazi"
"The Major is a Deranged Dictator"
"The Major is a Maniacal Megalomaniac"
"The Major is a Lethal Lunatic"
"Alucard is an Eccentric Eldrith Abomination"
"Maxwell is a Fanatical Fundamentalist"
"Anderson is a Pious Paladin"
"Integra Hellsing is a Dignified Dominatrix"
"Jan Valentine is a Vulgar Vagabond"
"Luke Valentine is Dog Shit"
The Major is a Pious Warmonger
Seras is a vulnerable Vampire. But just wait until you get to episode 7.
So... He's like the Thanos of Tron.
That’s clu
what is the name of this show?
Heraclio Is A Remorseless Tyrant Please make the video
Think you can do Arrowverse villains, or do you only do animated villains?
Live action villains are a problem for me. Stricter copyright claims by the companies that own them.
That's unnecessary. There is a nearly complete compilation of all Albert Wesker's appearance in another video I know of (czcams.com/video/ZiBhEhZIoyU/video.html)
Love tron
Except that Tesler was actually derezzed at the end of the season
He wasn't.
He would have if the show continued
@@tayojones9460 maybe but you do not know that
Who's death was that at the end
i like the idea wo general teslar he looks badass
