Worst Things About Vanellope Von Schweetz from the Wreck-It Ralph Film Series
Vanellope is the deuteragonist of the Wreck it Ralph film series and a minor protagonist in Wreck it Ralph: The Videogame. She was supposed to be a great character in the original movie but in the sequel, she does things that make her so unlikable (going turbo, being very mean to Ralph, etc.) that Wreck it Ralph fans are starting to hate her. To be quite frank, she was always an unlikable but the sequel made her much more unlikable than she ever was before."But she didn't destroy two games." Uh, she had become the most popular character in Sugar Rush even with the 16 others. Even if people don't recognize her in Slaughter Race, they'll notice something's off, undoubtedly causing the subscriber base to drop.
Wreck-It Ralph 1: Going Turbo is the worst thing you can do as a video game character.
Wreck-It Ralph 2: Forget your friends and responsibilities. If you are bored of your old game and want to be in a cooler game, go Turbo anyway.
People might actually rage quit Slaughter Race en masse thanks to her making the game nearly impossible to win. She and the Gal Gadot gangsta lady who put the idea in Van's head were very short-sighted in that decision.
You better be careful not to lose a life in the Wreck-It Ralph video game because if you do, Vanellope or Calhoun will insult both Ralph and Felix for it.
In Wreck-It Ralph 2, when Ralph overhears Vanellope on the phone saying she wants to stay in Slaughter Race, he tries to prevent her from going Turbo. After successfully doing so, Vanellope listens to him until he admits that he broke Slaughter Race to prevent her from going Turbo.
While arguing, Ralph tells her she was going to ditch everyone in Sugar Rush, but Vanellope says there are 16 other racers. She then breaks and throws Ralph's friendship medal off a cliff, deciding she doesn't want to be his friend anymore. While what Vanellope did during that scene was terrible, her only valid point in the argument was about Ralph breaking the game and nearly killing her as a result.
In Wreck-It Ralph 2, Vanellope decides to abandon everyone in Sugar Rush and Ralph in favor of her selfish desires. Her ungratefulness and further selfishness are the reasons her own game gets unplugged at the 15-minute mark of the movie (which was Ralph's fault as well).
First, she steals Ralph's medal when she first meets him. Second, she and Ralph attempt to steal Shank's car but fail. Finally, she goes Turbo and abandons her own game, thus breaking the most important rule in the Wreck-It Ralph universe.
Well, she decided she preferred a game where a bunch of gangsters shoot at and blow each other up over one stupid car that's not that special.
In Wreck-It Ralph 2, when Vanellope gets bored of her game, Ralph builds her a track to make the game more interesting. As a result, their game gets unplugged since Vanellope is an ungrateful brat. Ralph went Turbo during game hours and no one called him out for it. To emphasize this further, she was so ungrateful that she decided to go Turbo at the end of the movie and abandoned Sugar Rush in the process.
At the end of Wreck-It Ralph, when Vanellope becomes a princess, she declares that everyone who ever bullied her will be executed, but luckily she was joking. In the process, she still makes all her enemies cry anyway.
And then she moved to a GTA ripoff where that's expected and even encouraged.
In Wreck-It Ralph 2, after leaving Slaughter Race, Vanellope suggests that Shank is a very cool person. Ralph gets offended because she never said such a thing to him in their six-year relationship.
Vanellope and Ralph's friendship is like a father-daughter relationship, very wholesome. Vanellope and Shank's "friendship" is, uhh, I don't even know how to describe it. It's as if a gang member leader adopted a child.
She has always been a very annoying character in the Wreck-It Ralph series, but her "Steering Wheel Song" in the sequel during the Disney Princess scene takes the cake for her annoyingness.
Must I explain more on why she became one of the worst fictional characters of all time?
"Oh steering wheel, oh steering wheel! Oh, yes I want a steering wheel!" sings Vanellope.
"Dogs and cats sure taste great with a side of license plate." Ugh.
She prioritizes herself over everyone else and that is why she went Turbo.
To be fair, the Princesses themselves were out of character in this movie. They were reduced to exactly how their detractors stereotype them, then went radical feminist like Vanellope.
She says she herself is a princess despite renouncing that title at the end of the previous movie. Hey, anything to reduce the actual Princesses to woke radicals in head-to-toe Hot Topic, am I right?
Vanellope meets self-promotional figures who do nothing but advertise Disney.
The game she *wanted* to be in charge of in the first movie, no less! Actually, she just wanted to be part of it. Being in charge was just icing on the cake (no pun intended).
One of the worst things about this character is that she is also voiced by SJW Sarah Silverman, a person most people, including me, cannot stand.
