The Wreck It Ralph Turbo Theory

Turbo had no other choice but to become the villain in wreck it ralph..
sub 4 🍦

[@Adam-326]

“No other choice”? Sure, if you ignore the fact that he could’ve lived life as a normal citizen of the kingdom in Sugar Rush or modified the game in such a way that he also gained power, got to race and didn’t create the glitch. Heck, he could’ve downgraded Vanelopee instead of trying to erase her and it probably would’ve worked out.

[@Tosmongola]

he wanted absolute power with no chance of her getting her memories back, hes a narcissist at the end of the day, but at least he didn't try to outright kill her or her subjects and people. btw Thanks for the Likes!

​@@Irobert1115HD Exactly, the thing is he erased everyone's memories, he was able to change the code so why did he leave Vanellope as a glitch? I get that he wanted to make sure she wasn't a racer as her crossing the finish line would reset the game or whatever but he didn't need to boot her and leave her as a glitch. He could've just joined Sugar Rush as a different person or took accountability and joined as Turbo. But no he doesn't so he's a shit person 100%

When your literally made to think like that yes you can explain or acknowledge or excuse him even to a degree that yes it sucks the devs programmed him to be like that and because of that he was super impulsive practically having no control over or actual awareness of what he did but no one is saying you have to agree, defend or even have empathy for him, instead just realise the guy was practically the equivalent of being mentally conditioned from his creation to be the way he is.

This video does make me understand more Turbo’s reasons to do what he did, but it’s still not enough to make me forgive him. He ended up being the ruler in Sugar Rush and co-exist with the game, but all at poor Vanellope’s expenses. This poor kid was stripped of her title, her home, and was also stuck in the game for literal years. But you did highlight a lot of details that I never even considered tbh

okay for the most part I agree with what you're saying though the code you're talking about is the Konami code and it was from a game pronounced TAP-er. A tapper is a person who serves beer from a tap or keg. This person is responsible for ensuring that the beer is properly stored and maintained, and that the tap lines are clean and free of contaminants. Tappers may also be responsible for changing kegs and monitoring inventory levels. Tappers may work in a variety of settings, including bars, restaurants, and breweries. They may also be responsible for serving other types of beverages, such as wine or cider, from a tap or keg, and are seen at breweries the bartender is similar to a tapper by two places, which are Bars and restaurants. only one is seen in a night club is the difference.

His world literally ended, it's program but if we assume they have similar psychology to human a misery can really fuck up ones mind. Circumstances can drive people into doing horrible things, even people who say "Oh I would never do this I am good person and I would do something else" it is easy to say when your psychology wasn't constantly influenced for a long time. In book _Ordinary Men_ Browning argues that normal common men who were drafted committed atrocities due to pressure Now what Turbo did wasn't the worst thing that ever happened however 10 years of being homeless, being on pedestal for long time then being literally nobody would defnetly affect mental status. Turbo would be a victim of circumstance

I think your point about the programmers making Turbo that way is completely incorrect. By that logic the movie doesn't happen because Ralph's entire thing would be "Unga bunga! Break building!" and that would be that. As the famous scene notes, he is a bad guy, but not a BAD guy. Turbo was in a racing game. The objective is to come in first, but that doesn't always happen. Not every kid who plays is going to win, especially in an arcade. As such, Turbo should know how to handle taking 2nd, or 3rd, or last. But he couldn't handle that, and tried to steal or sabotage is competition. I don't think it was out of desperation. I think he was the hero of his game, the good guy. But he wasn't a GOOD guy.

Your argument of him being ‘coded that way’ loses ground when you bring up Ralph. You point out that Ralph was coded to be bad but he CHOOSES to be better. There’s even a support group. Turbo had decades to be better and live as a side character or optional non-main character driver. Turbo isn’t a sympathetic character since he’s so self serving and will do anything to keep his status as ‘the best racer’. He didn’t kill Ralph that one time out of any kindness, it was because it would’ve been far too suspicious if he did.
