>Just wanted to have a nice party for his friend and idol who protects his home >has entire party wrecked by a big fat insecure emotional beta faggot who's mad nobody likes him >is understably upset they've had their upper class party wrecked and made awkward by a dipshit who isn't supposed to be there >Gets his point proven in the end when Ralph comes back and because of his autistic episode gets their entire game shut down
>gets shit all over when he was right all along
Why do people give Gene so much shit?
Lincoln Walker
Because he was a dick about it.
Jason Evans
It's all about delivery
Gavin Barnes
He's an instigator and made the whole thing about how right he was instead of celebrating Felix.
Only a douche starts shit when the guy the party is for says to stop.
Mason Kelly
>being such a dick to someone who could kill you in two fucking seconds and doesn't out of respect and modesty
Fuck Gene.
Xavier Foster
fuck off gene
David Hernandez
Literally wouldn't have hurt anyone to let Ralph have his figure on the cake and hang out at afterparties.
You don't see Toad telling Bowser to fuck off when the Mario Crew goes on a golfing trip.
Christopher Baker
because bowser knows his place
Juan Thomas
So does Ralph. The villain is infinitely more important than some NPC the players don't know the name of.
>fuck you Gene >I'm on the cabinet, I'm on the title screen, my name is in the credits >who the fuck are you
Brody Ward
Fuck off Gene
Angel Ramirez
Bowser gets trophies, medals, and cakes. He also gets to hang out when he's on break.
Gene was shitting on Ralph for daring to ask for respect off the clock. Fuck him.
Nicholas Williams
This. The game is nothing without felix, but it's even less without Ralph, so at least they should have acknowledged him somehow. Having a party where you invite literally everyone in the game world except the secondary most important character is just being a humongous asshole
Angel Edwards
Because he's deliberately written to be like that. Not a character, but a plot device.
Leo Bailey
It was a celebration for the game, obviously they should have invited the entire cast. You think after plays and movies are over they throw out whoever played the antagonist before the afterparty?
Brody Myers
in the movie characters who die outised of their game die for reals yet qbert and crew become monsters in ralphs machine does it mean that they are getting a warriors death?
Jayden Peterson
>You think after plays and movies are over they throw out whoever played the antagonist before the afterparty? Considering the shocking amount of people who give shit to actors who play villains because they hate the character and apparently don't understand the concept of acting a role, it's possible he does
Aiden Brooks
You probably get to be integrated into a new game after some sort of process.
Levi Sanders
thats never stated nor sugested in any way and goes against everything we see in the movie
Lucas Perez
I don't think there were monsters or death or anything. It was a bonus stage. You can't lose a bonus stage.
Eli Parker
That also was my question, but i figure they used the up, down, left, right code to enter the game's matrix and code them in it. But like says, its a huge plot hole
Hunter Sanchez
Because Ralph isn't actually a bad guy, he just plays a character for his job and yet gets shit all over for it and treated like he is the character he plays. And Ralph doesn't even choose to play the character he is literally programmed to. Grne instigated the entire plot of the movie by being a dick for literally no reason
David Wood
>in the movie characters who die outised of their game die for reals >yet qbert and crew become monsters in ralphs machine >does it mean that they are getting a warriors death? What is important is to have one's existence registered by the re-spawn mechanic.
And it is known that sprites and enemies used to get recycled for other games. Like the bird creature from Golden Axe originally appeared in Altered Beast.
Luke Thomas
I know this is silly bait, but Im gonna take it seriously cause Im having fun just like you.
Felix himself, the guy who the party was for was attempting to clam everyone down and relax. Felix who knew that everyone else hated Ralph and didnt want the structure of the game be jeopardized by siding with their "villain"
Felix felt interally conflicted by having to side with his peers who outnumbered Ralph despite him being in the right. It was this scene and others that showed Felix did not like to deal in conflict, since his game is very simple, fix the shit that ralph breaks.
Gen should've been self aware enough to realize that outside of their roles in the game Ralph is his own fucking person.
Eli Martin
They used Turbo's hacking process to integrate them
Benjamin Hill
they put them in the source code so it became their game
Leo Evans
Why didn't they just give Ralph a small apartment to live in, as payment for them kinda STEALING HIS LAND AND PUSHING HIM TO A DUMP.
Luis White
also that part where he stuck Ralph in the mud was just pure dick move.
I think Gene was just projecting his irritation that he is the SOLE npc to be thrown out of his apartment b Ralph every time the game starts up.
think about it, 30 years, probably dozens to hundreds of times a week being thrown out your home by the resident angry giant and everyone else in the complex is atleast still inside, Gene is a shit but I can see where he got said attitude when everyone is merely awkward around Ralph whereas Gene is outright antagonistic and confrontational to him
Ethan Edwards
thats bullshit, its never stated that turbo became part of the game when he hacked him, htere just isnt death as a part of that game, characters just lose the race
Colton Martinez
I feel like this movie's biggest problem was that it didn't know if it wanted the characters to be determined by their roles (Felix, the Apartment complex, that soldier chick) , or to be their own individual people outside of their roles (Ralph, that Speed Racer Knockoff, the villain support group)
but turbo very much did hack himself into the game. like you can argue about him dying or whatever but its a major plot point that he became a part of the game via hacking the code.
Ian Murphy
Was I the only one who disliked how the majority of the movie ended up taking place in Sugar Rush, and aside from the first act a lot of the humour and game aesthetic was mostly window dressing or purely visual?
It didn't really do anything to adapt a bunch of uniquely videogame ideas to a story. I was expecting at least an invicibility power up or extra life joke
Jaxson Adams
>Gen should've been self aware enough to realize that outside of their roles in the game Ralph is his own fucking person. A lot people bring up the idea that villains as a whole get unwarranted amounts of shit from their peers off the clock, citing the scene where Ralph is walking down the station and a bunch of characters shout "Villain!", thus suggesting that Gene's behavior is just part of systematic discrimination and that he's not really at fault.
However, most characters have good reason to avoid villains, with the whole "you die for real outside your game" thing in play, so it's less hatred for them as a person and more a necessary aspect of their survival. Gene, who is a part of Fix-It Felix and thus is safe from any damage Ralph can dish out, has no societal rationale for his behavior, so I've never bought any explanation for Gene's behavior being anything more than him just being a genuine asshole.
Jonathan Gonzalez
>Fuck you, Heath Ledger! How dare you come to the cast party after everything you did!
Logan Flores
because Ralph had every right to be mad since the building exiled him to the dump
Nolan Jackson
That was really a good decision. Everyone expected it to be "videogames: the movie!" but it acutally was the story of Wreck it Ralph.
Also there was an extra life joke pretty early on when Felix dies at his party.
Christian Scott
actually, that was never explained.
Angel Price
...how do sequels work in this world? Can Ryu get on a train and meet Ryu from a newer street fighter installation?
I dunno why they're going with the internet for the sequel. Wreck It Ralph 2 should be about the arcade getting Fix it Felix 2 put in.
Mason Garcia
hacking into a game is something thats never explained clearly and its never said that you can actually become unkillable in the game if thats hte case its never propperly explained wich leaves everyone confused plus it removes all the tension from future movies since they dont die anyways my guess is it was a oversight and it will get retconned or at the very least ignored as if it never happennd
Owen Williams
Because it fits the "don't let those people live in a dump just because you were taught that's the way it's supposed to be and also they occasionally wreck your buildings" pro-refugee message.
UH I MEAN DANK VIDYA MEEMS SO FUNNY MOVIE RIGHT
Cameron Robinson
learn english then watch it again
Mason Myers
Oh go rewatch Angry Birds again you dork
Levi Sanchez
>Thinks it's a pro-refugee message >When Ralph himself got kicked off HIS land so that the NPC's could build an apartment on top of it.
Sure buddy, dank vidya meems.
Zachary Carter
how about you learn spanish instead compadre?
Alexander Powell
The whole point of putting them in Felix's game is that Felix doesn't actually hurt Ralph during the game, he just fixes what gets broken.
Fix It Felix Jr. is actually the perfect place for game refugees since they can't be killed when people are playing the game.
Jeremiah Sanchez
Actually that's a really good point, especially with that soldier chick. They say that she has this super sad back story programmed in (even though it's an arcade game so it would probably just be written on the side of the machine and never come up in game because who the fuck wants to listen to exposistion when you're playing House of the Dead or Time Crisis), but it's just a game. If they're all supposed to be individuals outside of the game, as is the centra theme of Wreck-it-Ralph, then what does it matter what her backstory is? It never actually happened, she's just an actress playing a character. And yet she still keeps her hardass soldier routine up all the time, even when out of her game. Is she just more indoctrinated than the other characters from different games? Is separation of character and self just a quirk that arises in long existing characters like Ralph?
Carter Edwards
One can agree that the characters should have their mannerisms (soldier woman acting like a soldier) but aside from that you are absolutely correct.
Oliver Diaz
I figured the backstory would be part of a cutscene while the machine is in idle mode. Which raises the scary possiblity that she has to relive it every five minutes when no one is playing. As for personalities everyone seemed to be based on their roles initially, and heroic characters are already good so there's not really pressure for them to change and develop.
Easton Parker
>gets shit all over when he was right all along wrong, Gene didn't suffer any consequences for being a prick
Elijah Campbell
Another pet Peeve of mine with the movie. Ralph was the one who had to suffer the consequences when They kicked him out of the party and he had to find some other way to celebreat his 30th anniversary.
And the Worst part is that when he comes Back, Gene has the gall to try and guilt trip him for leaving. Like Fuck you Gene, I didn't see you do Jace shit to try keep the order of the game, you didn't put on a Wreck-it-Ralph costume and try to do his job. You just panicked like a little bitch.
Easton Mitchell
>you didn't put on a Wreck-it-Ralph costume and try to do his job. You just panicked like a little bitch. See that's the thing, I'm sure they could've rigged up something to at least keep the kids playing fooled for a bit.
Hell the idea of Gene having to dress up as Ralph while one of the other NPC's dressed up as Felix would've been a good lesson in teaching them what the two have to put up with every day, in and out.
But no, let's have a scene where it tries to set up Ralph as the one responsible for everything and Gene is completely right.
Wyatt Hernandez
>haha look at me I am purposefully being a contrarian for the sake of it? Lol ain't it funny? Get it? This is meant to be seen from a certain perspective but I post implying it is OBVIOUSLY something opposite of that that should be taken into consideration! Ain't it funny?
Dominic Stewart
>gets shit all over when he was right all along I don't remember any of the townsfolk getting in trouble. Everyone gets along in the end.
Aiden Anderson
Felix calm down.
Nathaniel Adams
thats a good point
Owen Thomas
how about you learn russian tovarish
Levi Adams
How about you learn Hindi instead Dost?
Wyatt Baker
Bowser is a King, Ralph is a hobo.
Kayden Miller
Those are both Roles. The entire theme of the movie is that they're still good people outside of their occupations as villians and jobbers. Although to be fair, they did a rather poor job of conveying that, as none of the assholes who didn't realize that had to go through any trouble to learn anything.
Nicholas Williams
That game was there the longest but somehow it was the only one where the characters were not self aware enough to know the whole thing was just an act put on for kids.
Jonathan Harris
Every other game the second the arcade closed they quit like they were actors playing a part.
For some reason everyone in Ralph's game still treated him like he was an actual villain and noe a character playing his part too.
Ethan Cooper
King Candy was not originally from Sugar Rush but he inserted himself into the node tree and was, then he could probably die in that game and regenerate too.
I imagine attaching their node to that game's tree does the trick.
Josiah Campbell
We saw his name in the game's node tree
Justin Walker
he placed himself into the game code
Ayden Moore
ok jesus thats bullshit in my book but whatever
Chase Ross
But you can import information from other games and insert it into the code of the existing game. Same deal.
Dominic Rodriguez
>he word I just made up
fuck off
Charles Reed
Hell, even when people played the actual game it registered him as a character even when he wasn't originally a part of it. Meanwhile Vanelope's glitchiness was a plot point because of this since the game didn't see her as a character because Turbo disconnected her from source code.
Camden King
What if they drive off the track and crash into the side of a candy mountain?
Juan Green
No it actually fucking didn't because we never see him in a character select screen
Tsake your fanfiction bullshittery elsewhere
Colton Bennett
Yeah I didn't really get this when I watched the movie. Everyone else knew they were just actors and even other hanged up with them fine, yet Ralph's citizens were assholes.
I guess for some reason their code prevented them to develop character or something.
Camden Morris
it's made of candy and not rock, it would not hit the car with enough force to even damage it much less kill the driver.
Sugar Rush is the safest game in the entire arcade and perfect to gamehop into without fear of dying
Asher Perry
And if the car careens off course and lands in the nesquick sand where they drown?
Benjamin Martin
>There's an entire race that decides which racers will be available for the players >Turbo participates in these races >Implying he wouldn't show up on the character select screen at least once Come on man, it was an entire plot point.
Noah Bell
>Invite everyone you work with to a party >Except one guy >Because you don't like the job he has
Trump get out
Brandon Wright
It's her memories, regardless of whether it really happened. That still carries emotional weight for her.
Luis Miller
Because that never really happened, it's just a backstory to the game.
Ryder Peterson
Because just like a total spergkang; he isn't/wasn't able to see PAST THE GAME, as MANY OTHER GAMES DID with THEIR characters. He(and the other sideline plebs too) automatically ostracised Ralph for being a wrecking character in the story, and refused to see him as an actual fellow human being beyond that.
Ralph might be a dick for venting out of line, but Gene(and cohorts) have been wrong for the entire game's lifespan, a cake getting btfo is hardly any justification for it. Felix is just an Alpha, and he can't automatically forsake his social group, for an outsider, even though he's still a passive enabler. And at least he isn't as bad as team Gene; because he was the only one willing to give Ralph a chance. Even after the cake genocide.
Gene is a fucking dick dude.
Brandon Collins
More buzzwords please
Cameron Williams
"What flavor is that mud I'm standing in?" "Oh... um... chocolate!" "Never was too fond of chocolate..." "Well, I did not know that."
Who was wrong here?
Justin Flores
More like first interaction between co-workers awkwardness.
Noah Parker
>we never see him in a character select screen Fuck you
Nicholas Nelson
Nobody. There is no "wrong" there.
Mason Evans
It's just trying to play it off as awkward, but also how isolated Ralph is because she knew the favorite flavors of every single person in the game sans Ralph.
Robert Rogers
There's a wrong in everything, it's the Internet
Grayson Ramirez
Probably because their game was much older than the others. Maybe the way they treat Ralph was how villains were treated back in the 8 bit days, we don't know. Maybe things got lighter once there were more game genres, and the line between good and evil became more blurred.
Jack Hill
Turbo pretty clearly killed the real King Kandy and took his place.
Jace Sanchez
Go watch the movie again. Ralph didn't "wreck it" (see what I did there?) the party until AFTER Gene was a dick when shoved Ralphs cake figure into the chocolate mud.
>upper class party made awkward by a dipshit who wasn't supposed to be there You've been that "awkward dipshit" at a party several times haven't you?
Jayden Hill
But why would there be a support group that includes Bowser and Robotnik then?
Also, what arcade games have Bowser and Robotnik in it? I want to visit an arcade like that!
Jordan Bell
Killed him how? Dragged him out of his game with the security surge protector never noticing and murdering him there? Because he wouldn't be able to do it inside the game, he would just respawn.
King Candy is just Turbo's alt-persona that he programmed in himself. There was no King Candy, there was never one. The castle he lives in belongs to Vanellope. He's probably been driving her car, too.
Brandon Gomez
It's not even that he was a dick, it's that he was a dick to one of the 2 main characters of the game. Hell, they all were. A game without a good villian is crap and won't garner much attention.
William Reyes
This just brings more questions to me, as in, this game is not exclusive of this arcade, so there should have been people wondering who is this old King guy and why Vanellope is nowhere to be seen. It's the 2010s already, every kid checks on a wikia. And even then no one from the original dev team would wonder why some people are saying there is a character in the game they didn't program in?
Zachary Morales
This is a good point. Imagine you're in a play for thirty years where you get slapped by the antagonist actor a couple times a day for three decades. Maybe he's a nice guy but that's fucking grinding. And also despite how big he is he can't permanently kill you. Except now you're scared to ever leave your own game in case he's waiting for you...
Another fine point.
Caleb Rivera
Now think about all the old-school characters suddenly showing up in Wrek-it-Ralph's game.
Matthew Mitchell
At most, if there was some kid who was so passionate about Sugar Rush, an arcade-exclusive game, that they google up all the racers and don't see King Candy, they'll just assume it's some exclusive character or maybe a rare machine. And I doubt those kids are going to report it to the devs who will check out some random arcade in a tiny town.
No kid is gonna think the characters inside the game are going on an adventure and one of them is a racer from an arcade game long-forgotten who hijacked his way as top racer in Sugar Rush.
Much like in Toy Story, you don't think, "My toys physically ran away" if they aren't where you last left them, you think, "Oh, I lost them".
Brandon Garcia
I think whoever owns the arcade might raise an eyebrow if he notices that one day the character roster changed and that dipping the switches does nothing to bring the original back.
And yes I think the owner might know a thing or two about the games since it represents their livelihood and would want to do some research on the games before buying a cabinet.
Ryder Sanchez
The thing in that case is that part of the allure of Sugar Rush is that there are "new racers daily". There's supposed to be like, 12 or 14 characters but you can only choose from 8 each day, and that's the whole deal with racing at night, to choose who gets to be on the roster. KC is such an extremist and narcissist that he makes sure he's always on the roster every day, though. So the owner wouldn't see the same 8 characters from when he first bought it, with or without KC.
I also don't think he does physical reviews after he hooks the game up every night. He waits for someone to report a problem and if there's not, he's gotta assume it's working. I mean, he seems to run the entire arcade by himself. I don't think he would have time to play test the games periodically.
William Garcia
I don't remember who played the villain in my old drama club, but I do know all the girls in the club would pick one girl that they absolutely hated, and talk relentlessly about her behind her back. That one girl left the afterparty earlier than everybody else. Mighta been because it was highschool, but I hear actors in general are catty cliquey bitches, so I would not be at all surprised if a troupe decided to hate the person who coincidentally played the same kind of role every time.
Anthony Phillips
>I think whoever owns the arcade might raise an eyebrow if he notices that one day the character roster changed and that dipping the switches does nothing to bring the original back. Nah the machine says "NEW RACERS DAILY", I guess it's connected to the internet or something and constantly updates.
For reference- See, they put that little detail in just for you.
Benjamin Brooks
I was thinking that he had a game manual and the owner would read about the game so he knew the ins and outs and when something could be on the fritz. Once he notices that there is a character inside of the game that is not listed on the manual he might make a call to see what is up.
Just a theory though, I have no idea if arcade cabinet's came with manuals or not. I would assume as much since they do have dip switches.
Plus if it is said that the racers change everyday then the owner would notice that the same character keeps showing up front and centre, that could be a possible error in the game which the owner might want fixed since it could be a symptom of a bigger problem.
