Why Ralph Was The Perfect Protagonist - Wreck It Ralph

[@knellycornnan5132]

One thing I like about Felix. He never seemed to have a personal issue with Wreck it Ralph. He was sympathetic when Ralph wanted to attend and tried to give him a chance. He also doesn't seem to be a snob like the others.

[@jalenikezeue4114]

True But Felix Didn't do jack when Gene unfairly Berated Ralph he just stood on the sidelines

[@theuncalledfor]

@@jalenikezeue4114 Seems like, outside the context of his game, Felix is a bit of a pushover. He lacks drive and ambition, and he lacks the impulse to actively go out and do good/oppose evil.

[@jalenikezeue4114]

@@theuncalledfor exactly

[@knellycornnan5132]

@@jalenikezeue4114 I would say thats more so because he was kinda outnumbered and he probably didn't want to attract their ire. After all. Its not pleasant to have a bad relationship with people who you are forced to work with and in the end he did come around.

[@jesurunbartley852]

With Felix, he's a peacemaker and accepting of everyone. He's cool because he's nice and kind. But his flaw is avoiding personal conflicts. When Ralph is shamed, he didn't want to disagree with the others because it might hurt their feelings, so he felt stuck and avoided the issue

[@ls190v2]

He's bad, and that's good. He will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no-one he'd rather be than him. Or, as Zangief summed it up, he's a bad guy but not a bad guy.

[@SayShelo]

But zangief isn't even a bad guy

[@BrokensoulRider]

@@SayShelo He's still an antagonist. But the gist of this entire thing is it's not bad to be a bad person as long as you're not A bad person. . . .

[@lahlybird895]

Shame this is such a good video and yet they have fundamentally misunderstood one of the most important parts Badannon. It's not about the antagonist complaining it's about them trying to help each other understand exactly what that quote means, but just because you're programmed to be an antagonist insight a game doesn't mean you are a villain outside of it your programming doesn't define you and you can be a good person as long as you still fulfill what you need to do in the game. They called it Ralph's iconic dialogue during his sacrifice but that's the exact same chant the members of badanon chant at the very beginning.

[@SpearmintUmbrella]

Because Ralph only wanted acceptance from those around him not glory like Turbo, that is what seperates a hero and a villain.

[@Grevnor]

Vanellope's "glitch" is innate. She keeps it even after the game was reset at the end, so she is actually designed like that. It's essentially a special power. All of the racers are at least implied to have one, but we rarely get to see them (Candlehead lighting cherry bombs being a notable exceptions). Instead of thinking of it as a "glitch", as glitch implies error, "blinking" is a more proper term for what she is doing. Blinking is near-instantaneous, reflexive, but very short-range teleporting.

[@celloj3703]

Which makes the character assassination of Ralph in the sequel all the more frustrating

[@evolvingdragon1793]

what sequal there's only one movie and that was a collective fever dream everyone had

[@EldritchbornSquirrel]

I always love "bad guys" who aren't bad guys, just dudes that want to feel included and loved.

[@tommysalami420]

Just don't watch the sequel XD

[@bambusll3155]

he presented him self very differently there 😆

[@Thesomewhateducatedguy-bi2qn]

Never watch any sequel

[@williehampton3855]

​@@bambusll3155 Yeah, they did him dirty in the sequel. From a humble, bumbling yet kind-hearted Everyman to a whiny, insufferable, clingy, obsessive, insecure,selfish, dishonest, judgemental, cowardly, idiotic man baby with severe abandonment issues. So yeah, Ralph WAS the perfect protagonist up until after the first movie.

[@williehampton3855]

@Thesomewhateducatedguy-bi2qn Just so long as it's an improvement over it's predecessor like Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

[@gunkhead]

@Thesomewhateducatedguy-bi2qn Nope, there are good sequals, albiet not super common.

[@big__shell]

i'm happy that people are still talking about this movie. the sequel spawned a lot of bad blood, was just disney shamelessly showing off how huge they are as a company. Ralph didn't deserve that, and still deserves to be talked about because of how AMAZING this movie is. gotta be my third favourite disney movie of all time, after the emperor's new groove and Mulan

[@TheCyberKid707]

6:02 I’ve heard that Norwood specifically is the one who always gets thrown out the window by Ralph at the beginning of the game, and that’s why he’s so much meaner to Ralph than the other Nicelanders. Not condoning his actions, just sayin… bro might just be a bit traumatized.

[@EllenJoe_is_my_virtual_wife]

Wreck It Ralph is also the first movie I've ever watched where the protagonist is a villain wanting to be a good guy.

[@TheCyberKid707]

So you hadn’t seen Despicable Me or Megamind?

[@EllenJoe_is_my_virtual_wife]

@TheCyberKid707 nope. Like I said, Wreck it Ralph was the first I've seen before any of those movies

[@doctorwhosit3896]

Wreck-It Ralph is one of the greatest Disney gems of all time!

[@RambunctiousReptilian]

Ooooh yes, finally a vid on Ralph. He's always been one of my favorite Disney protags just cause of how different he is. Also if you're going to continue talking about heroes, I would love to see an analysis on Spear from Primal

[@Gamegedon.900]

too bad ralph breaks the internet decided to make him an obsessive yandere best fried but without the romance or murder part. that did not fit him

[@ToonOfficialYT]

Ssssh.. We don't talk about that. There's only one movie.

[@Gamegedon.900]

@@ToonOfficialYT exactly

[@OpticalSorcerer]

Side note, but I really wish Disney gave us more musicals with (human) male leads: we only got 3, and those were in the 90s--not counting films where the lead didn't/hardly sang, ie Tarzan, The Sword in the Stone, and The Jungle Book.

[@kristiscannell8392]

Did you say… WISH?!??!?!?!???!?!??!?!?!!!?!!?!?!?!? You dare?

[@kristiscannell8392]

“I’m cringe! I’ll never be based that’s not cringe! The only thing I want to be is me!!! “

[@BendyHotRod]

If you really think about Ralph's caring personality even MORE, you realize that he breaks buildings EVERY DAY not JUST because its his job, but also because (as we see in the movie) that if he doesn't, everyone in the game will die or be homeless. So he does it to protect them and keep them from being unplugged, even though they hate him.

[@v.emiltheii-nd.8094]

An unorthodox hero. But a hero nonetheless.

[@CrazyGamerDragon64]

I loved the first Wreck it Ralph movie and I really identified with Ralph, around the time that Wreck it Ralph came out I was struggling going in between minimum wage jobs, I remember one job I got hired I wasn't even their first pick but decided to hire me because the person they wanted to hire didn't even show up their first day but once they did hire me they appreciated how hard I worked and how much I listened and was willing to learn, I can relate to Ralph because a lot of the jobs I had in my early 20s weren't exactly glamorous: pizza delivery driver and janitor mainly, it also doesn't help that I'm a big guy like Ralph and didn't have (many) friends, all Ralph (& I) wanted was to be liked, respected and appreciated

[@olleselin]

Ralph is one of favourite modern Disney protagonists!

[@TheBobmBoy]

Honestly, I love Wreck It Ralph so much to this day, I never really though much about the plot initially, but it's a lot more in-depth than I originally thought

[@ultimate_pleb]

8:20 the glitch was caused by king candy's medaling she just learned how to control it by the 3rd act meaning she can do it now

[@bowserbreaker2515]

It's interesting to see you cover a hero instead of a villain. If you're taking requests, I'd like to see an analysis of Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians.

[@experiment0789]

That's the thing that always got me thought, other then potentially prematurely ending the movie, what would happen if Ralph just talked to Felix and the Nicelanders and said "look I know when the kids are playing the game my role is to be the bad guy, but at the end of the day I'm not a bad person."

When I watched the movie it was a great movie. I just wish the sequel wasn’t a meme movie

[@LegoLump]

Thank you for listening to me, can you still do turbo please as well as hopper from a bugs life

[@ToonOfficialYT]

I've done one on Turbo before! Though arguably, it wasn't my best video. It's on my channel if you want to check it out!

[@LegoLump]

@@ToonOfficialYTno I meant turbo the snail

[@LegoLump]

I’m sorry for the confusion

[@LegoLump]

I am well aware of the “best plot twist villain” video.

[@comfy88338]

It's a darn shame how one of my favourite movies as a kid never got a sequel. Oh well, maybe one day Disney will make a natural continuation instead of being a soulless cashgrab like a lot of other animated sequels as of late.

[@Johnnyboyz-ps7js]

Do one on mother gothel

[@NemzyVT]

Can you review Merlin from Finding Nemo? In my opinion he's one of the best dads in animated history and his arc of overcoming his overprotective nature is so compelling to me.

[@lazy_bananakid2232]

wreck it ralph is one of my favorite movies. really happy an awful sequel doesn't exist

[@WouldntWeather]

I love how WIR2 was not mentioned or acknowledged even once in this vid lol like yes, let's just please pretend it doesn't exist. Whoever wrote THAT mess had no idea what they were doing with Ralph's character and it was a shame to see the character assassination done on him there.

[@gunkhead]

I hope this video gets attention like a few of the others, overall they're clean and pretty fun to listen to

[@ennard3866]

2:19 Za Warudoooo 🕰️

[@justtheilluminativ282]

The sequel doesn’t exist. It’s just a bad dream made by people who wrote between their lines

[@rexeleon]

Ralph leaves after getting mocked Nicelander: oh no our game gonna get removed. sounds like current AAA game industry

[@MMWill21]

Could you do a dive into Silver the Hedgehog as a flawed hero?

[@ZarkAnimates]

Out of nowhere i wonder why someone hasn’t done a video analysis on The Wither Storm from Minecraft Story Mode, a World Destroying Villain done right.

[@paigemurphy7770]

#gentle giant Most Pixar characters have layers, and not just in the form of twist villains.

[@LegoLump]

Could you make a video about a perfect plot/setting.

[@jalenikezeue4114]

I found Ralph's situation very Sad 😔 nobody understand who He really Was and They just went to The logical conclusion that He likes to destroy Things because He's a Badguy The nice landers and Felix Are The Ones responsible for the game Nearly getting unplugged Not Ralph

[@DAI2KSILVEI2]

Ok.. you ask ... King Candy REMOVED her from the game ... but she is still PART of main Program... as in they all know there is space of person but that person isn't there or rather they don't know about this person , background or status for that matter.. thus that why they only knew she existed .. that why at end of game when they returned her Identity into the game. thus everyone can recognize her as being part of the game.

[@lady_inoliany]

18:34 you HAD to point out yourself that you really kinda sound like Bright Side for me 😭

[@lahlybird895]

Where did you get the name Norwood from? His name is Gene.

[@TheCyberKid707]

Can you do a video on how Bill Cipher is the epitome of what it means to be a villain?

[@IrishCoder]

Sadly The Movie Tries Say That Ralph Is Wrong For Trying To Be Good, Even Though Ralph Did Nothing Wrong

[@evolvingdragon1793]

buddy the movie is about accepting what you can and can't change. You can't change other people's opinions or about your own history but you can change your current and future self and your worldview. Infact the whole final act with the Cy-bugs happened because Ralph did a bad thing in the first place cause he tried to change the way people view him but with a bit of hindsight even if everything worked he wouldn't have gotten the out come he wanted if anything he would have been called out for going turbo reinforcing their view of him
