The renegade programs view Users, like Flynn, to be gods. Of course, Flynn splashes cold water on that notion when Tron brings it up.

* In TheLastTemptationOfChrist, Jesus is not only 100% man and 100% God, but also 100% insane. A rather pitiful deity, who fails to find inner peace and would rather just settle down with wife and kids instead of dying for the sins of the world.

* Over 90% of TronLegacy takes place in a world known as The Grid, and the major conflict is built on three characters (all of them played by the same actor) who we can call The Father, The Son and The Devil. The Father is the creator if the world and also the father of the son - who's arrival to the world brings new hope and a chance of salvation from the Devil character who has ruled the world since he rebelled against The Father. The Father is wise and benevolent, a personality that might seem a bit out of character for those who have seen the first movie and remember him as an [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold immature brat]]. [[spoiler: At the very end, it is revealed that he was still immature and shortsighted when he created the world and the creature that would ursurp him and take the role of devil. This is revealed that this is the reason for why the world is in the sorry condition it is - The Devil was simply carrying out the orders given to him by The Father to the best of his ability, but the Father who created him and his world was flawed. Thus he carried out flawed orders to the best of his flawed ability. This turned his quest for perfection into something vile, warping him into a TotalitarianUtilitarian leader of something that [[PuttingOnTheReich looks eerily familiar]].]]

* In BlaTornet, the world was created by a guy who one day had a really bad cold. In his fever he happened to give his angels some really bad orders.

* In and interview with J.R.R. Tolkien, regarding TheLordOfTheRings and The Silmarillion, he claims that while Eru Illuvatar (God) is infallible, the gods (Valar) set off the chain of events by making the first mistake of inviting the elves to Valinor "in order to protect them." So it is an example of the lowercase gods being flawed.

* This trope has a fair amount of historical precedent- it's been theorized that much of the JerkAss behavior exhibited by the Greek Gods was intended partially as a rationalization for the less-than-noble traits exhibited by humans. It makes sense logically, of course, that if we're made in God's image, and we're obviously not perfect, that God himself possesses human flaws.
