My bigest problem with the movie is how the entire movie put all the blame on Ralph but vanellope was also in the wrong.

[@superjackster0165]

Agreed. It’s like the movie only wants us to side with Vanellope

[@queenofawesome2550]

And what she ended up doing was easily worse than what he did. She literally went turbo and abandoned her people and game.

[@Nightmare-kn6ee]

The whole movie also technically ends by saying that everything Ralph did to try and save Sugar Rush was for nothing, since if Vanellope isn't in the game even though her code is, if people try to choose her and she doesn't show up in the race or if they chose another playable character but Vanellope's car appeared and she didn't, they would consider the game broken and it would eventually be unplugged.

[@SamTheMarioMan]

It's also worth noting that Ralph legit didn't know how dangerous the virus he unleashed on Slaughter Race was. He thought it would just make the game glitch out a bit, make it seem scary so Vanellope would leave, but he never wanted to put her in harm's way. Meanwhile, Vanellope clearly knows the danger she's putting her home game in. Sure, Sugar Rush's roster changes daily, but as Nightmare above me said (and as we saw with Ralph in the first movie), as long as a character's code is still in the game, the game will act as if they're there, even if they're not. Her leaving Sugar Rush has doomed the game, and all those residents will permanently be homeless. But sure, movie, tell us how Vanellope is totally the protagonist and how Ralph did a good thing by supporting her decision to go Turbo!

[@thomashuffman3237]

Exactly! Like Mr. Enter said, at least Merida realized just how bad she fucked up and tried to fix it, while Vanellope never gets the slightest hint of a comeuppance, because the movie acts like she’s in the right for doing everything she does.

[@IsabellaCataldo]

"Do people assume all your problems got solved because a big strong man showed up?" Okay, I guess we're just going to forget that it was only really the first three Disney Princesses (out of like a dozen I think) who fell into the "damsel in distress" stereotype? And even then, it was really only Snow White and Aurora that were completely dependent on the princes saving them. Cinderella wasn't really _saved_ by her prince if we're being honest. (If anything, it was mostly the Fairy Godmother, a WOMAN, doing that.) And I guess we're going to ignore that Belle was actually smart and willing to stand up to the Beast when he threatened her? Or how Jasmine resisted her father's restistrictions on her and openly resented being seen as a "prize to be won"? Or how Tiana worked her ass off to get what she wanted? Or how Mulan saved an ENTIRE COUNTRY? Hell, in the Little Mermaid, it was _Ariel_ who saved the _Prince_ early on in the story, and that came out all the way back in 1989. Why are we still pretending this "strong independent woman" shit is novel and groundbreaking when Disney itself has been doing it for the past thirty years?

It definitely requires some suspension of disbelief/fan theory on that end. But also at the very least things getting added to an online game do happen. An arcade game suddenly getting a crossover update decades later out of nowhere? I really don't think the 2nd movie is that far off the quality of the first tbh.

[@AlphaOmega1237]

What especially pisses me off about the princess scene is who they chose to say those words. Flynn literally died to free you from the controlling witch that kidnapped you as a baby, groomed you your entire life, and would have kept you as a slave till the end of your life. The fact that he magically survived is irrelevant given how he had no way to know that would happen. He could have just let her heal him and walk away. Instead he consciously chose to die than allow Rapunzel to be enslaved. In short, the princess scene not only shits on Wreck It Ralph 1's characters and story, but also the stories it claims to be empowering. I hate this shit.

[@thomashuffman3237]

Yeah, I was pretty pissed at the Princess scene, too. It basically labels all the Disney Princesses as damsels in distress, when ONLY A HANDFUL WERE. Belle actually stood up to the beast when he was acting like a dick, Tiana worked her ass off to achieve her goal, and Mulan saved an ENTIRE COUNTRY. Even with the handful of princesses that were damsels in distress, Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty were signs of their times. And, as far as Merida is concerned, she realized just how bad she fucked up, and tried to fix it, unlike Vanellope, who never gets the slightest hint of a comeuppance.

[@henrythef1guy768]

Wait how is it shitting on WIR1’s characters and story?

[@henrythef1guy768]

Also, Guys, you are misremembering that scene. Rapunzel said, “*do people assume* all your problems got solved because a big strong man showed up?”, instead of “*did* all your problems *get* solved because a big strong man showed up?”, To which Vanellope replied, “Yes! *What is up with that?*” The stereotypical princess archetype’s problems *do* get solved because a big strong man shows up. Many people think that ALL of the princesses’ problems get solved as a result a big strong man showing up without even seeing any of their movies!

[@AlphaOmega1237]

@Henry the F1 Guy To your first comment: It's almost unbelievable that you can't understand how this movie using Rapunzel as a mouthpiece to imply that the ending to Tanggled (and other stories like it) is sexist is actively shitting on Tangled's and WIR1's endings. Did you not understand that they were implying that said storybeat is sexist? To your second comment: No, we didn't misremember. You're just creating a distinction without a difference here. "Do people assume" and "Did this happen" means the same thing here given the point the scene is trying to make.

Straight up: Ed, Edd, N Eddy did the 2nd act better. Double D was rightfully pissed at Eddy for making him think that his 2 only friends were gone. Eddy realized what he did when Double D began to walk away and proceeded to break down, admitting his insecurities and leading to them apologizing and making up for it right afterwards. Unlike the rest of the generic bullshit, they made up in under 6 minutes; whereas other movies have the 2 friends split and only come together near the climax.

[@Thomasmemoryscentral]

Zootopia even did it right too and it doesn't come across as a bad use of the 2nd act end breakup. Judy stated all of what she had as the only facts which understandably upset Nick and the predators causing him to leave her. Heck following Nick abandoning Judy at the police station, a montage of the fallout of her press conference shows us the dangers of her misinterpreted words and she quit out of guilt from her mistakes. Yet she made an effort later to correct her mistakes with the aid of shockers, a man! Yet the film never puts her above Nick and the 2 compliment the other's skills fine.

[@vysethegallant638]

Vanellope's problems baffle me. She complains about always winning, but for that to be true, the players must always pick her AND be good at the game. The former throws a wrench in her "I'm one of 16 racers and won't be missed" because she's the most popular character in her game. The latter creates the conclusion that the game is too easy, something that Ralph tried to help with at the beginning of the movie by creating a more difficult track, but wasn't smart enough to program the track into the game. The fact that the in-game characters can change the coding of the games means that Vanellope isn't as trapped in her "boring and predictable" game as she claims. All she had to do was reprogram her game to make more challenging tracks and/or rebalance the racers and/or their karts to make the competition harder to beat. The first movie proved that you can tamper with a game's code and even a character's fundamental design (which has some really dark implications when you think about it). Hell, that might've even been a better direction the movie could have taken: the ethos of Vanellope (or someone else on her behalf) reprogramming her friends to make her own life more exciting. But somehow, she never considers the option even though some random MMO character could write Vanellope into their own game's code off-screen. Consistency? What's that? Barring those two, Vanellope wrestling control away from the player is a BIG NO NO and completely destroys the dynamic between the game and the player. She's SUPPOSED to mimic the player's actions regardless of whether she wants to or not, which means if the player is going to win, she has to as well. We spent the entirety of the first movie with Ralph learning to accept it just to turn around in the sequel and say that Venellope doesn't have to? The point was the first movie then? Was Ralph screwed solely because there wasn't a second Ralph to "wreck it" in his absence? Or does the sequel (like a lot of modern movies nowadays) just revel in taking a dump all over the concept of responsibility alongside continuity and nostalgia? I know the writers probably saw the situation as "well, the players didn't complain about Vanellope not being in her arcade game in the first movie, so they wouldn't care if she was gone again". While an argument worth having, it only works in a vaccum because, obviously, the players WOULD notice. The Mario Strikers fandom was up in arms when Daisy didn't make the initial roster of Mario Strikers Battle League. You think they wouldn't notice Vanellope, who is her world's equivalent of Princess Peach, missing? The only reason we didn't hear the players complain about it in the first movie is that it would've spoiled the movie's plot twist, ergo why we barely spent any time on the player side of the world. It's called good story-writing, and it didn't need an explanation because that movie didn't need a sequel. And this wall of text only barely covers Vanellope's motivations. God, this whole movie is a disaster!

[@ClaudetteVioletta]

even in that game (whatever is called, i don't care) she has AT LEAST to give her best to win

[@papershadow]

It's also worth mentioning about the player complaint issue, Vanellope's absence is implied to have been in place for a while in the first movie, given the memory lock up and Turbo's actions being a shorthand for game hijacking. ot to mention the implied difference in age for the two games Turbotime and Roadblasters looking low-bit like Ralph while Sugar Rush looks full on 3D through the screen in the arcade rather than a pixelated display. It's incredibly likely most of the arcade goers didn't complain about Vanellope's absence because she hadn't been in the game for a while, but as of this film she's been a long-standing presence for 6 years, so disappearing over night would kind of be a major absence people would spot. To bring in another Nintendo analogy: People didn't question the absence of, say, Mewtwo or Marth in Smash 64 before Melee, but once they were in those games and became recognizable for it, people DEFINITELY noticed Mewtwo's exclusion from Brawl. So it's not even like not hearing complaints about her was something a "let this be for the story" thing, there was a logical explanation for why no one asked about Vanellope until Ralph's breaking the rules gave him full context (Players don't know the random racer on the Cabinet is coded in, while most of the game characters who know her probably don't know she's on the cabinet).

[@SonodaSymphony]

Also when you’re relying on your glitch while you’re racing ALL THE TIME, it’s bound to get boring at some point. It’s almost like cheats, sure you win more often but it gets boring over time. She could have stopped abusing her glitch and use it less often if she wanted more unpredictability.

[@TVTIME-be8ze]

I even thought maybe during after hours she can go and do slaughter racer and then whenever the arcade opens up, she just has to return to her game

[@AJ-xc4qe]

I feel this movie would've worked if Vanellope slowly realized how selfish she was and being more grateful for her old game, learning what Ralph learned in the first movie. Maybe making things better for the racers, even letting them beat her and take her place as the star of the game. Edit: Just to clarify, I'm actually not against leaving her game, but no one called her out on it or how dangerous is it.

The one thing that broke the illusion for me was that Ralph and Venellope owed so much money to eBay because they kept bidding higher and higher on their own on the auction. It might be how real-life auction houses work, but that's not how eBay works! eBay lets users put in a maximum bid amount, and the final price only increases if someone else places a bid.

I think the trend of "subverting Old Disney" might also be due to the success of Shrek. Every studio out there tried to copy Shrek's formula, and Disney too decided to jump in on the bandwagon and stick to it, in addition to adopting pop culture references & CGI. The issue is that in 2001, subverting old tales was seen as novel, whereas now it is predictable & self-loathing in Disney's case.

I’ve mentioned this elsewhere, but you know what I really want to see in an animated feature film? A hero who turns into a villain. Like, we have hero characters now who are so flawed, screwed up, and make so many mistakes that they really can’t be considered good guys anymore. So why not go all in with that and just straight up turn a good guy into a bad guy? Imagine a story where the protagonist starts out as a well-natured good-hearted hero but then pulls a Walter White or Anakin Skywalker and turns into the villain of their own story. To my knowledge this has never been done in an animated film before. There’s a lot of interesting potential there and it would have made movies like this one or Raya and the Last Dragon a lot better imo.

The problem is Vanellope is the MAIN CHARACTER of her game. Her face is on the side of the counsel. It would be like if Sonic suddenly disappeared from his game because he got bored of it. It would legit ruin the entire game. Her code doesn't somehow get removed from her game because she left. Her kart and all signs saying she was there would remain because she was a PART of its code. I don't think the writers thought through this whole plan. It's like in Meet the Robinsons When the T-Rex questions how well the bad guy thought through his plan. Vanellope being a good guy also does NOT change the fact she went Turbo. It's the same thing and I see so many people argue it was different when it wasn't. She was the president of her game. She was in charge of a kingdom. The title Princess doesn't change that she basically had Queen responsibilities to the people of her game who she up and abandoned. "I have a big head and little arms. I'm just not sure how well this plan was thought through."

[@Hanz_M]

Ralph Breaks the Internet isn't canon, and nobody can tell me otherwise.

[@Nightmare-kn6ee]

16:34 not only did Vanellope get rewarded for leaving her game, but her own game will probably still get unplugged and removed, since she's not in the game anymore and if people try chose her character since her code is still in Sugar Rush and she doesn't appear, they might think that the game is acting up just like it did with Ralph's game. And then someone would have to come see what's wrong with it and if they can't fix the problem then the game would be unplugged, leaving the game where it was at the beginning of the film, leaving all of the Sugar Rush characters without a home, which also would mean that they could be in danger if they die in any other game, so mostly Vanellope made the entire movie completely pointless and the actual reason why her game will be gone is because of her.

[@flarestriker2005]

Plus, there will be so many gameless/homeless characters too, the racers, spectators, and NPCs all together.

[@sup3414]

Why the hell did they need to go The Internet? They already introduced us to an immersive, wonderful world in the first movie: THE ARCADE! Why couldn't we spend time in the other games' worlds and characters we were breifly introduced in the first movie. Its called WORLD BUILDING!

[@draketheduelist]

What bugged me most about this movie was that whole insecurity virus. After it gets used to kickstart the climax for dumb reasons, the writers literally forgot to wrap the plotline up. The virus is still out there! How do you screw that up? This movie cared so little that it didn't even _end properly!_ Everything else in the movie failed about as badly. It takes a _lot_ of concentrated failure for me to point out that, for all its loathsome incompetence, at least _Gundam Seed_ did _one_ thing right by comparison. Well... about 70% of one thing... which may have been an accident... and even if it was on purpose, it was still icky and horrifying... and a lot of people disagree with me on it anyway... and the writers did their damnedest to undermine it after the fact via director's commentary... Seed was a complete shitshow is my point. But not as much of a complete shitshow as _Ralph Breaks the Internet._ There wasn't a single idea or concept in this entire movie that I thought had enough merit to be better handled by less stupid writers.

Sure, the core timeline (the Universal Century) is the backbone of the entire franchise, but I'd say there's certainly been a good amount of alternate timelines, particularly if you count the Build entries.

A Wreck it Ralph sequel could’ve been much much better. They should’ve kept the movie in the Arcade. They could’ve had a big video game crossover with lots of video game characters that have been in arcades like Sonic, Mario, PAC-MAN, Halo, etc. It would’ve made far more sense for a movie about VIDEO GAMES to have a big crossover with VIDEO GAME characters owned by VIDEO GAME companies.

@@gl1tchygreml1n Yeah. But no. Disney chose to sell out to a bunch of companies which are not video game companies at all. Companies like Google, KZbin, Facebook/Meta, Twitter, Instagram, etc. I think even MySpace was in the movie. The companies they should have gave big roles to are actual video game companies like Nintendo, Sega, Microsoft, Namco, Ubisoft, etc. They could’ve interacted more with characters from game series that have had arcade games like Sonic, Mario, PAC-MAN, Halo, etc.

Wreck It Ralph didn’t need a sequel. It was one of those movies that didn’t need a sequel. Like if you want a sequel for this movie maybe people are playing online games and this causes the arcade to close. So the four characters try to do something about it. I mean it’s not much but it’s at least a better plot than what this piece of trash is.

[@cylria]

The reason Venelope is so insufferable here is her character wasn't written to have agency. This movie is the old 'Boy and his pet wolf' story. Disney re-used the Good Dinosaur plot for Wreckit Ralph 2.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one bothered by the fact that Vanellope got what she wanted in the first movie, and then in the second she decides she hates it. I hate Toy Story 4 on principle and refuse to watch it for a similar reason - it was established at the end of Toy Story 3 that Bonnie adores Woody, but in Toy Story 4, according to the synopsis, she ignores him and plays with him the least out of her toys? Be consistent, Disney.

[@superjackster0165]

Honestly, Bonnie not liking Woody as much anymore is way more believable than how Vanellope acted in this film. I honestly recommend checking out Toy Story 4. It’s honestly a great film and a masterpiece just like the first 3 films

"Do people assume all your problems got solved because a big strong man showed up?" But.... they did get solved by a man. Specifically for Rapunzel--she wanted to escape the tower to see the floating lights, and a big strong man showed up to help take her there. Then he showed up again when she got kidnapped by Gothel, and stopped her from being trapped for the rest of her life by cutting off all her magic hair. He also reunited her with her birth parents, kinda by accident but still. Even if this point wasn't bullshit on arrival, Rapunzel is like the worst example to use as a mouthpiece for making it lmaoo

Most people aren’t assuming that Rapunzel’s problems were solved by a “big, strong man.” Anyone who actually saw the movie will understand that both Rapunzel and Eugene worked together to get each other out of a jam. That scene is the perfect example of a straw man argument.

One of my many gripes with this movie. Is how it completely ruins the relationship between Ralph and Venelope. We got a cute villain takes care of a misunderstood child relationship. Almost a father-daughter relationship. The second movie ruined it by having Ralph completely different. Like making it seem like Venelope is the only friend he had before. Almost making him have a creepy obsession with Venelope. His need to keep her as his friend is literally the final boss of the movie.

[@cameramike2515]

I was so looking forward to this video and you tearing into this movie. I saw the first Wreck It Ralph when it came out and I was astounded and captivated by the emotionally and character driven story. The story was fantastic, the characters all had a purpose and had set motivations, the plot twist was really well done, and the music was fantastic. When I heard a sequel was announced, I had doubts mostly considering the fact that this movie has a concept that I think wouldn’t do well for a sequel. The story and setting is unique and the first movie covered it perfectly. It seemed difficult knowing where to go from there. I’m so glad I never saw this full movie. I only watched the CinemaSins, Schaffrillas Productions review, and this one. It’s baffling and aggravating how different these characters are and how much mindless product placement there is. This sequel forgets all the morals and story points from the first movie and things just happen because the plot demands it to. Ralph and Vanellope are so out of character, it feels like a Disney product placement film with these character models just inserted. The fact that it ends with Vanellope going turbo, the biggest risk to arcade games in the first movie, is just unbelievably unfathomable and moronic. It alone explains the problems with this film. I never want to watch this full movie, They never should have made this, but I forgot, Disney wants that money.
