Things that Make Ralph Breaks the Internet a Terrible Movie

I personally cannot STAND this movie for many reasons and I truly cannot understand why anybody would enjoy this horrid and poor excuse of a “film”. Here are the many reasons why I cannot STAND it.
The Top Ten
1 Rich Moore Lied About Including Mario in the Movie

It is obviously number 1. I get that this reason makes me angry, but this guy is trying to lie about putting Mario in that movie when it came out. This reason can be used as an evidence in the court if he ever goes to jail. I wish this reason should always be number 1, just because he lied that man (he sure as hell is lying), but because maybe the police might hear it and arrest him. And the worst part is that he made this movie look bad. Yes, he thought that he makes everyone hated his movie that he made would be good for his SJW anthem. Easily one of the worst movies ever. 2018 was such an alright year for movies, and this movie almost ruined it.

Stupid, disturbing, shocking for the sake of it; whatever you want to call this, it doesn't change how god-awful this reason is. This guy is some kind of jerk because...no reason given. The attempt, is pathetic in motion. This guy is unspeakably cruel towards Mario with little to no reason as to why. He shoved in here feel as if he was only done in order to just...have him there. The entire idea is spent on him lying about including Mario in this movie, which I'm sure will be enough to please sadists. I may really dislike this movie, but even those by standards, this is just garbage.

2 It Ruined the Ending of the Original Movie

I could be wrong, but there was nothing about the ending of the original to even suggest that Ralph and Vanellope's relationship would turn codependent, or that she would rather live in a Grand Theft Auto type game. And what about her decision to be a president instead of a princess? Oh right, so she could put the classic princesses in ugly sweatshirts and jeggings.

It also ruined two very important things established in the original. WIR: Switching games is a very bad thing to the point of having a special euphemism ("Going Turbo"). RBTI: The aforementioned is, as they say on the Internet, "no big" or "NBD". WIR: Die outside your home game, you're gone for good. RBTI: If someone in the game you want to live in likes you, they'll simply add your code thus you will regenerate after all.

It's because Rich Moore and Phil Johnson decided the last line in the original ("if that girl likes me, how bad can I be") was "problematic". Add that feminazi Pamela Ribon joining the writing team (and unfortunately voicing Snow White in that "woke" Princesses scene), and Vanellope gets to elope with that Mary Sue and be "right".

3 Felix and Calhoun are Barely in the Movie

No, that doesn't mean there should have been more scenes of them parenting the Sugar Rush kids, who as another list item points out had been stripped of their individual personalities in favor of just being generic brats. That plotline should not have existed to begin with!

Felix is best boki! All my friends think he's ugly but personally I think he's adorable. :3 Why is he barely in this movie?! And why is my favorite scene the one where Felix has crippling depression over his fifteen kids? Seriously, why couldn't they add more FELIX and Calhoun?! I feel bad for the Calhoun fans, she has like three lines. ;-; If they make a third one, (which this one already kinda killed any opportunities for this franchise to get better as they turned Ralph into a blubbering pushover and got rid of Vanellope) please, please, PLEASE bring them back!

The whole movie focuses only on Vanellope and Ralph 99% of the time and other characters get no attention. I get that they are the main characters but they should not have been the only characters to get attention. Plus unlike the first movie Vanellope and Ralph are very selfish and unlikeable. Felix was a huge role in the first movie and was my favorite character why did they just scrap him and Calhoun?

4 Changing the Focus and Setting from Video Games to the Internet

The arcade/video game environment is what made the original Wreck It Ralph very unique and special. It was amazing as a gaming world and not as a social media/internet memes/self promoting/trends world. It mentions absolutely nothing from the first movie and Ralph and Vanellope go turbo and abandon their games which is bad for their games. It seems like the writers of this movie have never seen the first movie. It isn't even really a sequel and is more of a spinoff movie.

I would have been way more impressed with them putting in more IRL games (besides Sonic and Zangief) than websites, memes, Disney characters a la Tumblr, and everything Disney had gotten their grubby white-gloved hands on as of when this cash grab was in production.

Yeah! Wreck-it Ralph is meant to be about video games, not internet!

5 It's Hypocritical

2013: Anna wants to marry someone she "just met" (knew for just a few hours, if that). Elsa says "no". Turns out Hans really couldn't be trusted after all; Elsa was right.

2018: Vanellope wants to elope with this edgy chick she's only known for a couple hours, if that. Ralph objects, only to learn how "insecure" he was being and letting Vanellope elope was the "right" thing.

Both Disney movies, both even having several of the same people working on them.

Yeah.

You know what else is hypocritical? That people decry Vanellope's relationship with Ralph because pedophilia yet think nothing of or even PRAISE her relationship with Shank. Shank is still an adult with too much of an interest in a kid; she should not get a pass just because she's a woman and possibly a lesbian.

First movie: don't abandon your game. Everyone in a game is important.

Second movie: go live in that stupid edgy game, no one's gonna miss you in the game you were always meant to part of and in fact that's what drove the prequel.

6 Venellope is Selfish

All she does is manipulate Ralph into letting her go turbo to Slaughter Race.

She is also bratty and annoying. She kept getting on my nerves easily.

Everything she did in this movie, I just wanted to kill her!

7 Fortnite References

I should have walked out of this when Ralph did Fortnite dances and watched the rest by finding the movie for free.

The only good thing I got out of this series after watching this movie in particular was the ds game from the original movie of the same name.

The Wreck it Ralph 2 x Fortnite event was just a warning to tell us that there were many references in this movie.

I'm burning my Ralph plush toy and destroying my Ralph Disney Infinity figurine with a sledgehammer. Also, I will destroy my simpsons game, 2 seasons of the dvd and the movie with a hammer, burning the plush and comic and snapping the 2 different sized rulers in half. Fortnite ruined them both.

Ugh! You've got to be kidding me! What were these people thinking?! I mean, why would they want to add a game that is getting repetitive on such a terrible animated movie?

8 Everything About the Disney Princesses

Saw this comment on the "reasons why Disney should not buy Nintendo", under "they might try and make a Nintendo movie": "And put the popular female Nintendo characters (Peach, Zelda, Samus, Daisy, Rosalina, Pauline, Lucina, likely even the female versions of Robin and Corrin) in stupid Hot Topic outfits while reducing them to shallow parodies of themselves. You know, like they did to their own "princesses" in "Ralph Breaks the Internet"."

Unfortunately, that got me thinking that if Disney hadn't been so keen on promoting themselves and actually stuck with games, the Disney Princesses would have been replaced by the Nintendo gals listed (maybe others as well). And had Mario appeared, would Peach (and/or Daisy and/or Rosalina, possibly even Pauline) also been part of the Princess scene(s) we got? In which case leaving Mario (both the character and the 'verse) out was probably for the better.

9 The Terrible Ending of the Film

To recap, let's take a look at the first movie's ending. In the first movie, how does it end? Well, Ralph comes back to his own game and had a happy feeling. But in this one, how does it end? Well, Ralph and Vanellope had returned to the arcade and celebrate, and then we got two extra scenes. The first one is when Baby Moana plays Bunny Pancake, Kitty Milkshake. Really, that was basically a kawaii game. Later, they just come in and Ralph gives the rabbit so many pancakes. That takes longer to make the rabbit to eat all of them until it gets fat. After it gets fat, it explodes and Baby Moana screams. The other one is that there's a sneak peek of Frozen 2. It didn't have one until February 13, 2019. If it gets clicked, yet another segment with Ralph. He is trying to sing "Never Gonna Give You Up". That was actually a prank, wasn't it? Yeah, that was a crappy way to end this crappy movie. Okay, the first movie is great, it will always be the masterpiece, it leaves you with a happy feeling after you watched it. But this one is just dreadful and really bad. Yeah, it had its share of stupidity, like when Ralph is trying to take over the entire Internet, and trying to be a meme, and trying to parody real things. It's ridiculous, right? Now, this one just makes me feel embarrassed. Like, watching it actually makes me cringe. I feel like I have to turn the volume down, and face the T.V. toward the wall and watch it in a dark corner somewhere where nobody will never know. Yeah, it disappoints me. It's a movie with a bunch of stupid things like Slaughter Race, Oh My Disney, Internet memes, and more. It just leaves you with a bad, bad feeling, like, this movie should not exist.

10 Bowser Doesn't Make an Appearance

Rich Moore probably lies about including him in this movie. Same thing goes to Mario.

The Contenders
11 The "We Hope You Enjoy This" Message at the Beginning

I should have walked out of the movie and got a refund before I sat through all of this atrocious garbage. I regret paying to see this movie at all. I wish I skipped it and forgot all about it.

When you resort to that, it proves a lack of confidence.

What were they thinking?

12 Disney Making Fun of Itself Again

Come on, weren't "Frozen" and "Zootopia"- heck, "Enchanted"- enough?

13 It Teaches that It's Okay to Trust Strangers on the Internet Over Someone You Know in Person

And reinforces the toxic (yes, I said it) notion that women are automatically trustworthy. No, I'm not an angry white dude whose fragile masculine ego was shattered; I'm a woman who witnessed an abusive lesbian relationship involving a former roommate and who was eventually screwed over by a woman I thought was my best friend forever.

I don't care how "actually very kind and understanding" that new lesbian lover they gave Vanellope is. People on the Internet with the least pure of intentions tend to present such a demeanor so as to gain trust.

Had Shank not been female and played by Gal Gadot, or had the Fred-from-BH6-ripoff and/or the old man gangster been the ones to brainwash Vanellope instead, the very people praising that "development" would be screeching about Disney condoning "child grooming" and "pedophilia".

14 The Song "A Place Called Slaughter Race"

An extremely forgettable song and badly done example of a music number in a otherwise non musical film. I actually forgot the song's tune by the next DAY.

To the person thinking they should have given Vanellope a separate voice actress for her singing (like they did for all the "Renaissance" movies except "The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty and the Beast"): that wouldn't have helped. Even if they got someone like Barbara Streisand or Dolly Parton (both of whom would undoubtedly passed on the opportunity due to the song's content).

15 Sonic is Far Too Prominent by Minor Character Standards

Sonic: It's actually pronounced "why-fi", Ralph.
Me: Yeah, right. Nobody cares about it because this movie is terrible.

16 It Ripped Off The Emoji Movie

Wreck It Ralph is such an amazing movie with a great story, characters and writing. Instead of basing the sequel off of the original movie they copy off a 2017 Sony movie that has like 3% on rotten tomatoes.

And I thought The Emoji Movie was already bad enough.

This movie is way worse than Emoji Movie.

17 Everything About Slaughter Race

You know that annoying commercial about how Instagram supposedly wants to work with Congress in order to "protect" teens? It starts out extolling the virtues of the Internet and showing the girl using different apps that serve those purposes, but when it gets to "but the Internet is vast", it shows her and her friends downloading a game called "Road Rager". Telling, isn't it?

Worse, despite the (so far) absence of Gal Gadot or any of her gangsta crew, Disney is using THAT aesthetic for their new racing game on Switch! Instead of a more "Mario Kart" aesthetic, which would have made more sense and come off as less pandering to edgelords (who shun Disney things anyway). Then again, given that the actual plot of the movie (once you get past the memes and shameless self-promotion) was Vanellope leaving the "Mario Kart"-inspired "Sugar Rush" for THIS game... What does Disney have against "Mario Kart"?

18 The Sexism

Princesses eschew dresses in favor of uninspired Hot Topic crap because dresses are "oppressive"; put Ralph in one of their former dresses and make him kiss a dude because he's that scum of existence known as a "man" therefore deserves it. Also, Vanellope and Gal Gadot are automatically right about everything in every way 'cause their female. *rolls eyes*

Only reason Vanellope was allowed to stay in Slaughter Race without consequence yet Pinocchio FLED Pleasure Island in fear.

Sad truth: Had Mario appeared, he would have gotten caught up in it.

19 The Shameless Self Promotion Known as Oh My Disney

This makes The Emoji Movie look like The Godfather.

Not to mention those self promotional figures even got their own merchandise for this movie, especially for the Pac Man crossover mobile game that costs $86 for the full game unless you have one of each of those toys.

The sad part is, they might as well have used Sinfest or, worse, Natty Comics, for that scene. Same misandric virtue signaling, but without exploiting beloved characters.

This was a promotion for a blog Disney used to own that's now abandoned in favor of Disney News.

20 It Says Joining a Violent Gang is a Good Thing

Does it bother anyone else how they presented Vanellope running off to become a dangerous, violent, mindless, destructive criminal as akin to a child going off to college?

So is living in a polluted, crime laden dump according to this movie.

And whoever disagrees is just "toxic", "clingy", and "pathetic".

21 It Has No Real Villain

Yeah. And besides, the first movie has King Candy in it. Would you have liked to see him come back in the sequel? Well, that's what I'm hoping for. But, too bad, make way for this virus and this ugly monster. Yeah, these are the villains of this movie. Arthur and Double Dan. I have never heard of them before. Now, you have this huge stockpile of memorable villains from the previous Disney movies, video games, books, the T.V. shows, all that and they just go ahead and bring in two uninspired, stereotyped, mediocre villains?! I mean, come on! This is the best they could come up with? Are you kidding me? And you might say, "Well, King Candy can't be in it because it takes place in the Internet." Well, you know what? That's my fudging point! This movie shouldn't taken place in the Internet! Like, wow! That's original, isn't it? That's never been done a million times already!

22 They Put Ralph in a Dress After the Disney Princesses Were Convinced to Shun Dresses in Favor of Those Stupid Shirts

Where are the cries of how "transphobic" or "homophobic" or whatever this was among all the praises of how Vanellope and the Disney Princesses acted in this movie and how Gal Gadot was in it at all?

What the Hell were these filmmakers thinking?! Nevertheless, this movie is awful! And anyone who says is better than Incredibles 2 is a blithering idiot!

Sure, females shouldn't wear dresses but let's still put the big burly man in one just for a cheap laugh and/or shock value. *rolls eyes*

23 The Sugar Rush Kids Were Stripped of Their Individual Personalities

Disney's official WiR website had individual profiles for them. Disney published spinoff storybooks featuring them. Come the actual movie sequel, they're reduced to generic brats except Vanellope who went Tumblr radfem. And for what? To put the Disney Princesses in jeggings and give an already overrated actress even more exposure she didn't need.

And replaced by Gal Gadot the Groomer, a rip-off of Fred from "Big Hero 6", an old guy, and two female gangsters I can't even remember what they look like. The Sugar Rush kids, however, I knew by heart- until Disney made them generic brats so as to explain why they weren't still friends with Vanellope and to sideline Fix-It Felix and Sergeant Calhoun.

24 Gal Gadot Being in The Movie

Is that a misspelling or a knock at her "talent"? Either way, she's a mediocre actress at best but everyone acts like she cured cancer.

Not to mention the cult her character has developed. Even most bad reviews of the movie praise Shank.

She did a very poor job. Therefore, her character got hated by so many people. That's why I loathe her.

25 Continuity Errors

Vanellope decided at the end of the original she'd rather be PRESIDENT than princess. This movie forgot or ignored that just so they could do the stupid "are you a princess" conversation that's mutated into something of a meme with the actual Disney Princesses, Vanellope could convince them to raid Fannie Flagg's wardrobe, and they'd more or less keep Vanellope on the path to her inexplicable "dream" of living in the stupid trash game.

Somehow three years disappeared, since Ralph said he'd be alone for 27 years before meeting Vanellope. But his game was celebrating its *30* year anniversary in the first movie.

Said it on the list about movie continuity errors and I'll say it again: +2

The end of the original showed Ralph and Vanellope actually now getting along much better with the other characters in their respective games, they were good enough friends with Felix and the blonde sergeant to serve as best man and maid of honor at their wedding, and Ralph seemed to be friends with the other "villain" characters. All that was ignored in the sequel.
