How Ralph Wrecked The Internet

[@nathanbentley1939]

Considering that Rich Moore left Disney after wrapping up this movie citing a desire for more creative freedom, I'm under the impression that the Disney higher-ups micromanaged the hell out of this movie.

[@jaceyking5015]

Wouldn't surprise me. It seems all Disney does now is micromanage everything to death.

[@mangoeswithfudge5012]

Not surprised, the higher ups seem to forget they have an insanely successful company because of creativity of their talent and micromanaging to the point where they leave the company is a great way to piss audiences off

[@adampkalb]

😢That is terrible! Disney should stop micromanaging creativity out of people just to deliver political agendas on whatever, because that does not sell as well to the audience who hates seeing what they liked previously with everything they liked about it missing! That is what I call exitainment, which is the opposite of entertainment.

That Disney scene was painful to watch, they didn’t acknowledge they’re underrated movies from the 2000’s and took away the possibility of seeing new video game cameos

[@rommix0]

Some doctoring of the reviews was involved back then. Disney was getting flack for it.

[@suspiciousstar7547]

The Super Mario Movie at least didn't make all the characters into selfish or flanderized characters. Critics should have actually criticized this movie because the Super Mario Movie wasn't just flexing off all of their Nintendo stuff.

[@adampkalb]

Oh My Disney was NOT the main focus of this sequel! Will you please calm down about that already? I thought Ralph Breaks the Internet was good because it was better at telling a more-focused storyline, instead of making the commercials and the products the main focus of the story. That is why The Emoji Movie and Space Jam: A New Legacy got so many negative reviews and Ralph Breaks the Internet not so much, although I will admit that achievement by itself is a very low bar to pass and does not excuse making Wreck-it Ralph and Vanellope into much bigger jerks than they were in the first Wreck-it Ralph film. I still can not see how Ralph Breaks the Internet was the opposite of the first Wreck-it Ralph film because Wreck-it Ralph and Vanellope were not entirely different people from who they were before, and three of the five writers and the director are the same as the first movie. They should understand their characters better than we do!

[@carameila248]

The first movie left me leaving the theater really happy. However, when I saw the sequel, I dwelled in disappointment because of how mediocre and corporate it felt while throwing away everything that made the original great in my opinion. Sure, there are still a few redeeming qualities such as Spamley, Knowsmore, maybe the rick roll at the end, etc. But, the sequel will suffer for being too outdated with its depiction of the internet and its usage of memes that are long past their prime. The Oh My Disney section and any other social media reference completely takes me out of the film. Meanwhile, the original still retains its lingering sense of nostalgic quality to it since it's suppose to be a tribute to the golden age of videogames. The best part of the movie for me were the 8-bit end credits, complete with its kickass song titled "When Can I See You Again."

[@adampkalb]

I actually enjoyed Ralph Breaks the Internet. The Emoji Movie lowered my expectations for this premise so much because I knew there was no way Wreck-it Ralph's writers would be that foolish to slow down the entire storyline with scenes on Candy Crush and Spotify that go absolutely nowhere. eBay and BuzzzTube and Oh My Disney do do things to serve the main plot of Ralph Breaks the Internet that could not just be cut out...but I see your point and Aldone's point that Ralph Breaks the Internet still comes with a whole host of other problems just to begin the entire storyline.

[@ladypool1404]

In the first movie: Ralph does everything to help Vanellope AND he saved her game as well as her life from the evil bugs. In this movie: Ralph puts a VIRUS in the internet because he's obsessed with his friend, ignoring Felix and his other friends which is rude. Also, he never felt guilty about that or appologises to the kid. Ralph is acting more like a villain not a hero! His personality was completely destroyed. Thank's for making him annoying and cruel Disney 😐

Something I'm just realizing is Litwak said the game makes less than $200 per year...but not a few minutes before it's implied that the game has become exceptionally popular in the arcade due to Vanelope. Assuming the game costs a dollar to play and the arcade is open for 50 weeks a year (allowing two weeks for vacations), there would only be 4 players _per week._ If a game is sitting there unused like that, then there's no way he would keep it.

[@shawntraub7249]

Another thing, in the original, the game has two seats so two people can play at the same time. In the sequel the game magically only has one.

[@suspiciousstar7547]

Ralph Breaks The Internet is a perfect example of how to ruin a franchise. Instead of a great continuation to the original film, you watch a failure of what made the original special. The sub-plot of Vanellope finally realizing that despite how she's different from the other racers due to her glitch, she can be as good if not better is just ruined here. Having her leave what she strived for all that time because "she was bored" made absolutely no sense and ruins her arc from the original film. Plus leaving your game by going "turbo" was portrayed as something selfish/negative but here it is shown as something as "I'm not like the other girls". As for Ralph making him go from an anti-hero with a heart of gold to a man-baby obsessed with a child is just an uncomfortable transition. Don't even get me started with the Internet references over actual comedy since even the princess scene felt soulless as Disney was trying to modernize them by making fun of Merida (one of the only princesses who wasn't interested in men).

[@adampkalb]

😖Oh, man! Am I the only person in the comments of this video who actually enjoyed some parts of Ralph Breaks the Internet and did not have it ruin or tarnish the first Wreck-it Ralph film for me, simply because I knew of Wreck-it Ralph being one of the movies The Emoji Movie ripped off and wanted to see how Ralph Breaks the Internet was better and more creative at what The Emoji Movie tried to do? Perhaps my mom and I and Browntable were looking at Ralph Breaks the Internet with rose-colored glasses simply because we could not handle the possibility that a less obnoxious Emoji Movie with more creative visuals and animation and better-developed characters attached to it, could still be one of Disney's worst sequels of all time if we compared it more with Wreck-it Ralph than The Emoji Movie.

[@adampkalb]

Isaac Carlson made an interesting case for why Vanellope joining Slaughter Race might not automatically make her as evil as Turbo like most of us think, but I still agree with your point that Ralph Breaks the Internet could have done something much better with Vanellope learning how she can make Sugar Rush more interesting for herself with her glitch powers, instead of ignoring the first Wreck-it Ralph movie's rule against game-jumping or Wreck-it Ralph making a new bonus track for her. Even though Sugar Rush missing its most popular racer, Princess Vanellope Von Schweetz might not be the end of the game's world like Fix-it Felix Jr. missing its villain or its hero, she should still not be ignorant of everybody in the game who likes racing with her, or everybody who plays the game and likes racing as her.

[@karnagekarnival5127]

Yo the thing with Merida pissed me off so much. Not because of the man thing, like if you learn what a fucking nightmare production Brave was and how they basically pushed the original writer out of her project it REALLY hits hard how they chose to make fun of her like she was crazy and stupid. Brave was ACTUALLY gonna be a movie about a young woman and her mother a premise that was inherently beautiful and without a man as a major plot point while still having the dad like no disrespect just FINALLY a focus on women. What did they do? Let a man take over the project and make it more shallow, shoving the actual artist to the sidelines. It was vile.

[@hydra9627]

As a Scottish person, I usually like a bit of banter and people poking fun at us, the "Joke" of Merida wasn't even funny, they could have had her speak Gaelic, or speak a lot of Scottish slang, that would make sense and be somewhat funny, instead of her just spewing out a load of crap.

[@downerbutmakeitjoyful2455]

I really wish they just had Ralph been like an overprotective father, rather than a guy triple Vanellope's age being possessive over her. Sure the movie would still have been ... awful. But at least people wouldn't have a weird ick about the way their relationship is portrayed. Instead of Ralph being a moron and just wanting to have fun with Vanellope, he could just be a bit of a father figure who doesn't know exactly how to comfort his figurative daughter who is going through something traumatic. I remember someone bringing up a good point that it could have been that Ralph wants to go with tradition (No going Turbo, sticking to routine, etc.) but Vanellope could show a new generation questioning tradition and wanting to do something different in life.

[@briamari9035]

I would love that! Because that's exactly how he acted in the 1st movie

[@aletanook]

And while this is cliched and a bit like what happened in the first film, Vanellope can learn how dangerous going turbo is and she'll learn how much she truly appreciates Sugar Rush. It would be a good message to send to kids coming of age and trying to establish their own identity and would fit with the themes of the first movie.

Ya know, I was working on a Ralph Sequel rewrite last week and that was one of the goals I had for it. In my story, Ralph, Vanellope, Felix, and Calhoun go to an online battle royale game (ex. Fortnite). Felix and Calhoun accidentally get into the character creator menu and create a character that looks like a fusion of the two. That character ends up coming into the game and treats Felix and Calhoun like parents. The real trouble of this side of the story comes from all the danger and shenangians the kid gets into while Felix and Calhoun's parental instincts kick into overdrive and the couple try to keep the kid out of danger, but to little success.

[@aletanook]

Right? I just rewatched Wreck it Ralph and it made me remember how much I loved and missed Felix and Calhounen.

Really gave Ralph bad ick vibes because their relationship in the first movie felt very Stern Awkward Uncle and carefree kid niece!

Everything wrong with Ralph Brakes the Internet: - The title should have been ''Ralph Wreckes the Internet''. They even lampshade it in the movie. ''What I'm doing is stupid and wrong but I'm gonna do it anyway. Bringing attention to it somehow will make it okay.'' Stop doing it! It's like waving a red flag in front of the bull. But instead of the bull, it's the audience and the red flag are the plotholes. Chances were a lot of people wouldn't even have noticed but now that you mentioned it they can't stop thinking about it! - Disney is just flexing how many IPs they own. - The portrayal of the Internet and how it works is just stupid, wrong, and even dangerous. - You can become famous and make millions on youtube in just a day by making only short ( I mean a couple of seconds) videos. - ''Never look at the comments.'' Because people who criticize you are haters! It's not like they might have some valid criticism! Or that majority of comments are usually nice, especially if you make just funny innocent content as Ralph did. And given how popular he became I guess like 99% of the comments are positive. - Name-dropping freaking Dark Web in a movie for kids! Name it something else! - Ralph being clingy is so forced! It doesn't feel natural. The ending of how he just spells the message out. It was only missing him staring right into the camera! - Vanellope goes Turbo! - Other characters don't do anything. - How on Earth are those copyrighted characters allowed to show up on the internet and in other games without getting copyright strikes? I can understand Ralph. People probably think someone animated funny videos with a video game character. But how on earth is Veneloppe supposed to bland in the slaughter race? She's not some random extra but the main character of her own game! And she completely doesn't blend in with the style of her new game. Did I miss anything?

I've always hated the Disney Princess section. When Vanellope is like "Just be yourself," I just sighed because I knew where it was going. She didn't want them to be themselves, she wanted them to be like her, with a t-shirt, a hoodie, and jeans. It didn't matter if those characters actually liked wearing dresses, or an archery outfit, and it didn't matter if they liked the various aspects of being a princess because they weren't 'being themselves' according to Vanellope. A lot of girls like wearing makeup, and they like dressing up in colorful outfits, some guys do as well. It bugs me so much when I see movies tell those people "Dressing up in fancy outfits and wearing makeup is bad. You shouldn't wear makeup and dress yourself in t-shirts and jeans then spend all your free time playing video games and eating chips."

And when you think about it, the characters actually went turbo in the sequel compared to the original. In the first movie, Ralph really never went turbo, as he was just trying to get a metal as fast as possible and came back before anyone else find out he was missing, everything he was dealing with in Sugar Rush was more of him getting sidetracked. In the sequel, Ralph and especially Vanel actually went turbo by interfering with the gamer, leaving their games in bright daylight, having Vanel selfishly leaving her game and everyone behind to fulfill her selfish needs, and never even telling or saying good bye to them anyway. It really annoys me when a movie or a show is covering certain topics, but when doing so, they have to assassinate the characters, make the characters unlikable, and when there are more valid points to be made and look into or rules that were set up in the previous installment, they purposely ignore it because the writers knows about that but to make their point clear to fit their story they chose to ignore it.

(I watched it on DVD from a disk I rented from the library.) But by the end of the film, I definitely channeled that meme. They massacred my boy Ralph.

[@pizzarat3275]

The steering wheel part I can understand. I know people who have home arcades and barcade businesses and buy and restore old arcade cabinets. This kind of part for an arcade is pretty specialized. You can't just go out and buy another unless the game was REALLY popular and aftermarket suppliers make reproductions. Usually the only source is the manufacturer, and if they've gone out of business or no longer make the part owners are left either cannibalizing old machines or hoping new old stock from a warehouse or barn find shows up on eBay. If a broken game isn't bringing in enough to warrant buying a replacement part they'll cut it. That being said, this movie is an abomination. I can think of dozens of better plotlines for a sequel to Wreck-It Ralph.

[@mazkeraid4039]

Yeah like in the wake of an computer game rather than the internet itself as a whole, that is a way better concept as a whole had it may have similar concept to Arcade only you don’t need a token to do it… actually since Arcade had a card to play it in place of token, maybe they’ll take it a step further since they modernize it.

[@seaweeb2258]

Technically.....Venellope is a princess. A princess in a disney movie. She should have been in the princess scene already. A side note that I can't put anywhere else: People say the princess scene assassinates all the character princesses and basically devalues what they do in their own respective films. Like the "big strong man saves the day" line from Rapunzel, or Cinderella breaking her glass slipper to use as a makeshift weapon, despite how much it meant to her.( I ironically find that joke to be one of the best in this movie). But it dawned on me that the princesses actually aren't supposed to act like they did in the movie. Look at Ralph, for example. Does he act like Wreck it Ralph from Fix it Felix Jr.? No. Ralph has a heart in the first movie and isn't the villain despite being coded in his game to be a villain. We see this at the Bad-Anon meeting. So the princess scene makes more sense when you think of their respective movies as their job, and not their life like it was portrayed in their movies. So, them all acting like stereotypical girls during a sleepover isn't that bad of an idea. it was just poorly executed.

[@Victor-056]

You know what makes it worse? There are deleted Scenes where Ralph and Vanellope stumble upon the defunct Disney Infinity servers and many of the Disney Infinity members who were abandoned by Disney when they shut down the servers, which I feel would have served a parallel to how Ralph and Q'Bert interacted in the first movie... I mean, seriously, we could have had a _better_ plot line where rather than Ralph acting like a ManBaby and Vanellope acting like a Stuck-Up, we could have had many of the Infinity characters be angry at how they were "Replaced and abandoned" (Which they pretty much were), and basically try to go Full Turbo on the more "Popular" characters, which would result in the catastrophic event at the end anyway, only based on the members of Disney Infinity that still bear a grudge at being abandoned, and how the "Popular" Disney Attractions effectively caused their Server to be lost. I mean, it would have been cool to see a Sort of Civil War be sparked between the Disney Infinity characters, as Ralph and Vanellope were also supposed to interact with the Infinity Characters as well, which meant we could have had more than mere cameo appearances, but also had fully interacted scenes between them. It would be way better if the Story, rather than going from Vanellope going from being brainwashed by Spoiled Disney Princesses straight back to Slaughter Race, we had Vanellope encounter the Defunct Disney Infinity servers, and see the darker side of the Glitz and Glammor she was first shown... And perhaps, even have a scene where she is given a Ralph and Q'Bert moment, where she sees a rather sad group of Infinity Characters (A Good idea would be Robin Hood, as he was a playable character in Disney infinity, and his Film was a Cult Classic that was not very well known beyond... Well, Furries), and she shows how much she'd learned from Ralph, by giving them something to eat, much like Ralph did with Q'Bert. It would show how much Ralph meant to Vanellope (I see their relationship as more "Intergenerational Friendship" or a "Big Bro/Little Sis" relationship, rather than anything romantic, so drop all the weird talk) that his good will had rubbed off on her... And I can see Ralph turning up, looking for Vanellope, sees the state of the Defunct infinity Servers and has a momentary flashback to his time back when he was effectively a Pariah to the Nicelanders. I can actually see the plotting of the more grudgeful Disney Infinity members that would eventually lead to the big climax, and Ralph, upon finding out, tries to stop them, trying to convince them that he can help... And only finally getting to the one leading the Infinity Rebellion, when he flat out tells them "I know what its like!", in a similar vein to Colonel O'Neil in Stargate SG-1, Window of Opportunity. Then again, the idea was likely abandoned for the same reason Cars 3's Ending was changed (That rather than McQueen joining Dinoco, we have... That ending.), And that was because "We cannot make Disney or any Corpo similar in Work Ethics to Disney, look bad"... Nevermind that Disney already has done a good job showing how bad they have become anyway, without trying to.

at first, I hated the movie because of how unsettling and creepy the ralph clone scenes at the end were. now, I hate the movie as a whole because of the creepy end scenes AND how cringy, illogical and unmemorable it is. this movie is a hot mess. the producers literally wrecked the movie.

[@solstie]

One of the worst things about this movie is the removal of the second seat in Sugar Rush. Even if Ralph gone turbo, even in Vanellope gone rogue, even if Litwak was stupid enough to break it, none of that would've mattered because they could've just used the second seat and the game would work perfectly as normal, but they got rid of it for plot convenience. Also another thing that bugs me is how Vanellope manages to leave Sugar Rush in her normal fit. By the rules of the first movie, the only way to leave Sugar Rush at all is to have her princess getup on so the plug doesn't mistake her as a glitch and its been fully established that her normal outfit is still the glitchy one.

[@Hauntaku]

Nope, go watch the first movie again. The code was repaired at the end so that she could leave at any point in time. She even got to keep her glitch ability and all of her friends regained their memories. The outfit has no actual impact in the story.

[@solstie]

@@Hauntaku nah cuz like. She was able to leave the game at the end, she just had to wear the princess fit, aka Felix & Calhoun's wedding where it doubled as her "best clothes". In her monologue at the end, its shown she is able to glitch in the hoodie inside sugar rush, but is unable to in the dress, making it okay for her to leave the game, only with that outfit on, or at least not with the hoodie at all. The second movie ignores that completely. Also everyone remembered her as a princess at the end, not a tomboy.

[@lolrentz]

@@solstie 'its shown she is able to glitch in the hoodie inside sugar rush, but is unable to in the dress, " literally the first thing she does in the dress is glitch, while inside of it, to get OUT of it, and into her preferred outfit.

[@estrellaazul2638]

Terrible plot aside, I rarely go to see movies in theatres, but when this came out I took my best friend to watch it since we loved the first one, and we needed to have some fun since she was stressed about a guy who had been stalking her, hence the reason she was staying at my place, let's say that Ralph's behaviour in the movie didn't help with that and we walked out of the theatre feeling worse.

[@Hauntaku]

When I went to see this movie in theatres, everyone was mumbling about how horrible the movie was as they left. Not a single person was happy with it. Contrast that to the first movie where I saw kids cheering about how great it was and the parent's smiling. The first film was good.

[@jakedebruin2246]

It’s actually amazing how they took a movie that was absolutely rife with potential for a sequel, and sucked out everything and anything that made it good and turned it into a soulless product designed to market a brand, how how little they know about the topic that they’re writing about, and butcher every character to the point where they don’t remotely feel like the ones from the first!

[@Hauntaku]

I'm thinking about writing some Wreck-it Ralph fanfiction of what I would make the sequel about. It'd focus on Vanellope and her friends. The theme of the movie would be that sometimes there are obstacles in life and we must adapt to triumph over them. I would treat the characters and the viewers with respect unlike Disney.

[@EChacon]

_Ralph Breaks the Internet,_ was the Disney sequel that literally…..(ugh) I don’t know what to make of this sequel, it’s like _Muppets Most Wanted_ but much more flanderized and doesn’t have the heart and soul of the first _Wreck-It Ralph_ and frankly I felt bewildered and betrayed by _Ralph Breaks the Internet_ especially during the end of the film, because literally Ralph and Vanellope’s personality turn a whole 360 in the sequel compared to their personalities from the first movie. Ralph who acted as humble, kind hearted gentle giant from the first film just became a selfish, clingy, and malicious jerk with most of his actions being done for the wrong reasons, Vanellope who was the mischievous, snarky racer just became very selfish and very immature while at the same time ends up being the one "Going TURBO" and because of their personalities being the opposite of who they were from the first film, it literally turned me off from this movie, along with the fact many of the side characters like Felix and Calhoun were sidelined and felt unimportant to the movie. Even the new characters introduced (Knowsmore, Yesss, and Shank) and the scenes of Vanellope with the Disney Princesses weren’t enough to save this film. If I had a guess regardless if Phil Johnston, Rich Moore and Jim Reardon returned from the first movie one of them decided to have the sequel take a different turn and at the same time, turn a 360 by flanderizing Ralph and Vanellope’s personality and it’s one of the reasons why I prefer watching the first _Wreck-It Ralph_ over this film. Frankly if I was in a room and had a choice between _Ralph Breaks the Internet_ _Home on the Range_ and _Chicken Little_ and had to pick two from Disney Animation’s mediocre films I would choose the latter two over the former, and if I was in a room and had a choice between a bad animated sequel from Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, Illumination and had to choose one I would watch _Shrek the Third_ over _Ralph Breaks The Internet._

To make 200 dollars, you'd need at least 800 games played, which sounds like a lot until you realize that if he's open every single day of the year, he only needs 2 people to play the game. And if you exclude weekends, he only needs 3 people to play it daily. If it's not getting at least 3 people a day on average, then unless he became really unrelivent in 6 years then he should unplug the game since he probably couldn't pay for its space and electricity.

The worst thing about this movie is how...pedophilic Ralph acts...

[@LadyOfTheEdits]

Oh wow true. I only watched it once. I need to watch again to see how messed up it actually is

[@Saltedroastedcaramel]

Ralph went from cool older brother to creepy uncle....Shank gets a pass because her van is painted red

@@jakedebruin2246 *NO BRO* it doesn't have meaning. Why would that person even say that. The movie was like a writer venting out their breakup or divorce but inserted Ralph, Vanellope and Shank into it. God, that scene with Ralph overhearing the latter two was weird.

[@tiezoc757]

Other than all your "boomer" ranting, I completely agree. I despise Ralph Breaks the Internet. It's one of the only movies I came out of the theater mad at and had so much negative thoughts about. Our cosplay group was asked to do the premiere and we had such high hopes for it, but most of us came out hating it.

[@agustin12689]

28:24 So what about the Ending of the previous movie where they added those homeless video game characters into Fix it Felix Jr?

[@Parky64]

There is a reason sonic knows about the internet.

[@Clever_Catchphrase]

I, too, did not laugh once during Ralph Breaks the Internet, save for ONE background gag. The scene where Ralph hits the "bottom" of the internet, and you see a broken down name plate for Geocities made me crack up, but then cry because I miss the pure patched together, home grown websites that humans made on geocities.

[@flowerheart2054]

Question - have you checked neocities? Like, Geocities is dead, but it doesn't mean people didn't found a way to create neat sites

[@crtstatic]

@@flowerheart2054 neocities is so fun to use. I hope more people find out about it eventually.

[@jskywalker58]

you know when you think about it vanellope time in slaughter race will be pretty short live eventually someone playing it will recognize her from sugar rush which will get the attention of the sugar rush developers who will possibly lead them to sue the slaughter race developers for having one of their characters which would lead to the game getting shut down or have vanellope code remove from the game

[@Hauntaku]

They probably would just see it as a glitch caused by the Wreck-it Ralph virus and then they's collab to keep her as a character because of her being the best character in Wreck-it Ralph. Either way, Ralph Breaks the Internet is a horrible film.

[@kingandrewcecil348]

This is the first Disney movie I've seen in the theaters that I didn't like it in the end - its that bad 👎👎👎👎👎 What infuriated me the most is the ending where Vanelloppe betrayed her fellow Sugar Rush subjects and moved to Slaughter Race meaning that she went Turbo, which is exactly what Turbo did in the first movie, except that this movie treats it as a good thing unlike the first movie where going Turbo is a bad thing 😠

[@adampkalb]

Did Vanellope actually destroy Slaughter Race or intend to do that?

[@kingandrewcecil348]

@adamkalb1 No, but however she doesn't even seem to care in the slightest about how her actions are gonna doom both Sugar Rush and Slaughter Race in the long run.

[@WouldntWeather]

Headcanon: His name is Del Litwack instead of Stan Litwack because this movie takes place in an alternate universe of Wreck it Ralph where everything is worse.

[@sweetoil2952]

Vanellope said things were too predictable/wanted to experience more thrill, but maybe she was just too good and got bored of doing everything perfectly. Could she have trained the other racers to be as good as her to spice up each race instead of abandoning all of them to…do things themselves? (They needed a leader, right?) If the racers were able to compete with her, it might’ve been a fun competition again, no matter the course, right?

[@Hauntaku]

Better yet, just change the game instead of moving to a different game. Also, bored after 26 years? What about the first few years? This movie made no sense.

[@nas0518]

Why is Disney so bad at making sequels that were supposed to be good, but they're not? What's even worse is that Mario is not there in the movie, they promised that Mario would be in the sequel, but no. At least Sonic is there and thank God for The Super Mario Bros. Movie. At least Ralph Breaks The Internet is better than The Emoji Movie.

[@suspiciousstar7547]

Dude, even the Emoji movie is slightly better than Ralph Breaks The Internet imo. At least they didn't have great characters to ruin to begin with. The Emoji Movie was just mid but Ralph Breaks The Internet was just awful due to it ruining the original film.

[@traviscunningham7062]

Mario wasn’t in the movie because of Ilumination

Wreck it Ralph 2: The Emoji Movie

that title is really clever-

[@spoiledsalad1851]

A better rewrite would’ve been that somehow venellope going turbo opens the world of cross over characters in other games.

[@rommix0]

That wouldn't solve anything. You'd have more of the IPs wanking sessions from both Disney and the video game companies. That don't make it any better.

[@pingu5614]

Disney princesses have a list of boxes they have to check in order to be part of the princesses hall. I don't remember them perfectly now but they were something like : 1) be born on or marry into royalty / make an act of bravery 2) have your movie make above certain amount of money (I don't remember how much) 3) be a human Mulan checks in because she made an act of bravery (saved china) ,is a human and made enough money. Kira doesn't because her movie didn't make enough money.

[@peterrealar2.067]

Seriously, WHAT THE HELL happened with this movie? They were on the right track with online gaming then corporate got involved and made this a kiss-ass movie. This was the beginning of the end. Progressive nonsense was shoved into this. What's worse is that *VANELLOPE NEVER APOLOGIZED.* It was NEVER Ralph's fault, IT WAS HERS. She's the one who was getting *BORED* of her game so Ralph *OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF HIS HEART* made her a new track. But no, they have to let Vanellope *GO TURBO* because modern feminism.

[@rommix0]

It wasn't progressive nonsense. It was bad writing. Don't be using this movie to justify your bigoted world view.

[@albatross4920]

5:38 i was kinda under the impression that the video game characters were going by toy story rules in that they can't let the humans know that they are alive and sentient. And yet if Litwack and the kids turn around they'll see that the characters are listening to them.

[@supersmilyface1]

If I did the math correctly, in order to buy that steering wheel, Mr. Litwak would need Sugar Rush to have at least two people play it a day, every day of the year. If the arcade is only open on weekdays, and not weekends, it would need at least 3 people to play each day. If the arcade is closed on weekdays and only open on weekends, it would need at least 8 people per day. ...Pretty sure Sugar Rush would have more that 8 kids play it in one given day. Heck, in the first movie, Sugar Rush would have earned 18 quarters _at least_ in that day because of those two kids playing all 9 racers. ...Speaking of which, what happened to the second console/half of the console??? Sugar Rush was supposed to be multiplayer, but in Ralph Breaks the Internet, it seems to be single-player?

[@karnagekarnival5127]

This is only a flaw of logic if you've never worked with an owner or a manager directly, they don't DO math. I worked for people who kept safety hazards like electrocuting fridges, shattered tile floors, and fridges with the doors broken off so they'd fall on you if you grazed them. People don't think about this shit, they just see a big upfront price tag and they're done. I 100% believe Liwak would rather ignore that problem than front the 200$.

[@Terminal_Apotos]

Sonic was the Only Good thing in this Movie

[@kirbyandbandanawaddledee937]

True.

[@GiantPurpleCat]

About the eBay scene; another thing they got wrong about how auctions on eBay work is that when you place a bid on something, the price only goes up *when* someone is outbid. The large sum of money they bid for on the wheel shouldn't even have been the final price it sells for. When the price hit $325, it should have stayed that way unless the person that was trying to get it outbid Ralph or kept placing bids that causes the price to increase. For example; when Vanelope placed $1k on it, the price of the wheel should *only* increase a little bit after the maximum amount the other person placed on it.

[@mikubrot]

tbh the worst failing of this movie is just how much product placement is in..... it feels like its trying to be a story that happens in our world

[@Ado_Rodd]

Why this review is better than the actual movie 1. The title for this review has Ralph "wrecking" the internet rather than "breaking" it.

[@spoiledsalad1851]

The movie should’ve been another character goes turbo and goes into the internet. This somehow affects Ralph and venellope and they need to track him down. They need to get the character back in the game before sun rise. Idk

[@joshuaW5621]

This was the day when Disney truly became the greedy company we know them as today.

Man it's almost been 5 years?! Disney you COULD have made a series like big hero 6 did or tangled. It would have had SO MUCH MATERIAL TO WORK WITH!! plus the characters work great in 2d from what we've seen from pencil tests the art book and a few of those kids picture books.

[@Hauntaku]

It'd just become The Smurfs.

[@Kitschune24]

This movie is my least favorite movie of all time. I hate how it ruins the first movie if regarded as even semi-cannon. It makes no goddamn sense, and why the fuck did they make Ralph creepy? That may be the most egregious error on their end. They butchered every character, but they butchered Ralph the worst. Also, I don't agree with the claim that the princess scene was the one good thing. Even the princesses weren't in character! It was incredibly apparent marketing to the point of insult. A better sequel could have been one where the arcade faces the threat of shutdown, maybe they could've lost in the end and it could've had a message about how everything ends (or maybe a message on change that puts Toy Story 4 to shame). Or, better yet, no sequel! Have the characters actually be in character and don't give everyone the idiot ball, or maybe just don't. Evidently, this movie was a cash-grab by every stretch of the word. Its entire purpose was to garner sponsorships, it had no shame. I just wish they put even an iota of care into it.

[@pokepoke1889]

How did venellope even leave her game Also, if the game developers discover venellope in the racing internet game, they can legit just delete her ._. Literally so easily

On the subject of Rapunzel, that's an issue in the show. Her dad & most of the kingdom see Flin Rider as the person who saved the princess & saw her as weak & incompetent

[@Imagi77]

It's not so much about Ralph Breaking the internet but how the creators broke him and Vanellope... He is nothing like himself from the first film, and she is nothing like herself from before either. Those two are not the same characters we got from the first film. It is such a huge screw up.

[@Garagelab164]

Maybe bad film but i did like Sonic interacting with Ralph and I like how they brought Rogue Craig Smith in the role even if it’s a small cameo he’s my favourite sonic voice actor

[@Garagelab164]

And one more thing maybe they could’ve brought Sonic along with them since he did know of the internet and can run 100X quicker than them
