I went over to a friend's house and he suggested we watch Ralph Breaks the Internet...

You got me. I don't have any friends.

Around the middle, the plot just takes little leaps of convenient pushes that force things forward. As if the characters would not have done this. Things were right where they had to be for the next thing to be right where it conveniently needed to be at exactly the right time to unexpected be right there where it was needed to be. That's basically how it goes.

Don't forget the bizarre princess shit and the out of place musical number. Also, bonus points for Vanellope treating Ralph like he's a retarded stalker and Ralph actually being retarded whenever the plot demands it.

Meeting them wasn't so weird. Them showing up later was really weird and hard to buy. The only way for them to know when and where to be, was if they were secretly masterminds of every evil happening the whole time.

Story and paceing feels more like a direct-to-video cheapquel.

The movie takes a violent shit itself when it gets to the "BuzzTube" and "Oh My Disney!" scenes. Once Vanellope's musical number ends, it slowly picks up and I think the finale with the giant virus Ralph was visually cool. No one talks about pic related scene in these threads, I don't know why, I thought it was one of the best scenes in the movie.

So how much Disney circlejerking and product placement whoring is in this movie?

You actually didn’t miss much. The entire film goes downhill at that part. I genuinely had a good time up until then.

this is nightmare fuel DESU.

they whore for everyone, in the third act of the movie they even product place fucking Symantec in the "anti-virus district" or something like that. shits crazy

I'm hyped for Ralph Breaks the Internet.

I just finished watching it. Relatively mediocre, and definitely not as good as the first.

This kind of hit me though. What is this feel? What the hell was the message of this? The bittersweet emotions of allowing something to reach its potential while being left behind?

The message is that women get bored and leave, but keep in touch so they can fall back on you if their new thing doesn't work out or when they get bored of that, too.

Don't be an overly controlling or possessive friend, and don't get jealous if your friend has other friends too. If your friend makes big life decisions and you can't spend as much time with them anymore, try to accept it instead of getting angry over it. It's a shitty situation, but there's nothing else to do except try to find ways to deal with it.
On the one hand I respect that they made an unusual message like that instead of the generic "friends always stick together" kind of stuff. But on the other hand, the the realization that you have to be ready to let go of a friend is a really bitter pill to swallow and an uncomfortable message.

They said near the ending that Ralph and Vanellope spend several months without seeing each other and they ended their call by agreeing to talk "next week". If they don't keep in touch more frequently than that, I don't see their friendship lasting; they'll most likely drift apart. That thought makes the movie's ending even more upsetting to me.
Also, Ralph was a loner before, and having Vanellope in his life was the one good thing that helped him deal with his crappy job. I feel bad for him now that he doesn't have her around anymore.

Is it true it ends with Vanellope going Turbo but getting away with it?

pretty much.

I guess you could say that. But nobody calls her actions as "going Turbo", and they briefly hand-wave it away with a lazy explanation about how she can move to a different game without it causing any sort of danger or problems.

Basically Ralph is content with his life the way it is, but Vanellope has gotten too familiar with Sugar Rush and she's feeling kinda bored of her routines. They end up finding an online racing game; Vanellope has fun there and makes some new friends. Ralph wants to go back to the arcade but Vanellope doesn't. In the end Ralph learns it's wrong for him to be clingy and demand Vanellope to stay with him when she has her own unique dreams and ambitions.
The movies have opposite lessons. The first movie argued for conformity and accepting your place in life, while the sequel argued that if you're unsatisfied with your life and want more, you should go ahead and change things.

>that if you're unsatisfied with your life and want more, you should go ahead and change things even at the risk of destroying an even larger game and everyone who lives there.
fixed

that sounds so fucking stupid, I loved the first movie but the second one sounds like pure cancer

Good movie with bad end... Where have I heard that before....

The first movie was good enough that the suits decided to get involved.

was it worth it?

a lot

Yes, but they try to distract you from that having Ralph being an insufferable needy retard who does tons of collateral damages in his obsession for Vanellope.

Yep.

The funniest joke was how Disney printed labels saying it won Best Picture only to lose

Nope.

When does Vanellope make a documentary claiming Ralph molested her?

in the next movie

I get the feeling that the first and second movie were either written by very different people, or some executive really botched the second movie by injecting their personal politics into it.

well, no lassetter to keep their grabby hands from it.

This scene is where the movie really goes to hell. She didn't just have the phone on mute, she simply never returned to tell Ralph anything at all. At bare minimum she should have checked in on Ralph's steering wheel mission and pretended to give a fuck about shy she was panhandling at Disney to begin with. From that point forward, none of the remaining scenes made a lick of sense. Ralph just randomly coming up with dastardly schemes instead of simply wrecking things. The really weird "virus" that seemed to equate emotional states with network security, and then just manifested whatever mutation let them make a big mess quickly. And of course after the streets had been cleared of bystanders, the princesses still manage to be right there where they needed to be to do what they did.

I don't even want to think about Felix's b plot. That could have been comedy gold, but no, didn't see anything that was happening until the whole movie was over. Instead we had to watch Ralph's slow sad emotional breakdown for a couple of hours. What kind of sick person would think emotional breakdowns were funny? Felix and Calhoun getting their ass clobbered by feral racers is funny.

It's basically conservatism versus leftism.

At least we got a deleted scene from the b-plot.

Ralph Breaks My Hymen

violent shit

Ralph is a pedophile

They probably should've made a situation where a human player online notices Penelope in the racing game and reports its. Which causes the game get strapped with a copyright lawsuit that threatens to shut down the game and Penelope has to go back with Ralph but later finds out that by being in the online game she resparked interest in Sugar Rush game line in a form of a free online moded version of the game with new customizable rack tracks.

You didn't miss anything. It was terrible.

This movie was shockingly bad. Like, I can't believe the same people who made the first film made this one. Biggest disappointment in years.

>DO PEOPLE ASSUME

This is what happens when you make a sequel out of an obligation to make something, instead waiting until you actually feel inspired by a story idea.

He went full SJW/Trump Derangement Syndrome.

It's progressive garbage.

so the way I interpreted 'going turbo' was that you are TAKING OVER other games - turbo wasn't just entering other racing games, he was ruining them for the players, and taking over games. Even in sugar rush, he took full control, booted out one of the other racers, and established himself as leader, violently overwriting the memories of the other inhabitants of the game.

Vanellope, meanwhile, was just joining the game, and being another violent NPC.

kek

This. With a healthy dose of corporate shilling.

Neither of those were sequels and the probability of a sequel being trash is incredibly high.

Watching Disney with friends? what a gay.

I watched The Last Unicorn with friends.

I fucking knew going in that they would all show up at the end. Their feminism was so ham fisted though. My mom going to work at her job and doing it again is more inspiring than what they did.

As someone who wanted a third Tron movie, the beginning kinda hurt.

In fact this whole movie hurt for that fact.

It seemed overt and ham fisted because it was satire. It was supposed to be obvious. You missed that they were being made fun of.

It is within the uncanny valley of satire & sincerity. The writers/directors say they were being sincere. It's pretty obvious they were lampooning old tropes.

awful

"it's okay when girl does it" - the movie

It made me hate Venelope.

What Vanellope did was different from Turbo in that she wasn't hiding what she was doing, she wasn't using duplicitous methods to get in, she tried to be mindful not to cause harm, and the characters in the host game gladly welcomed her. Even the first movie showed that visiting another game is not considered that bad as long as you're considerate; they didn't mind Q*bert and other homeless game characters joining Felix's game.

However, the first movie still established that jumping to another game is a risky taboo because it has multiple dangers involved. It causes harm for both your original game (you're abandoning your job and might even render your game unplayable), your target game (you can mess things up for the players like Ralph did), and it's dangerous for yourself too (death is permanent if you die outside your own game).

When Ralph merely complained that he's not content doing his job, all the other characters freaked out and immediately thought he was about to go Turbo. And when Ralph didn't return back to his game, other characters described that as going Turbo. I understood the act of ditching your own game and settling for another as "going Turbo", regardless of intentions.

Ralph got told that he has a responsibility to his duties. The lesson was that even if you hate your job, it's best to suck it up and try to find things that make your life feel worth living anyway.
Vanellope's pep speeches involved "follow your dreams" stuff. They pretty much ignored "Turbo" concerns because it would've shattered their intended message.

You shouldn't retcon the narrative & characters to fit a message.

Actually, you shouldn't be telling stories just to send out a message. A story needs to allow the audience to come to their own conclusions.

Vanellope was the captain of her ship/video game. Shouldn't she have tried to find satisfaction outside of her game without ditching it? A captain must go down with the ship. Her life is endless. Why not stick around & see things through?

Turbo's hidden duplicity was after the fact. The video game characters had already coined the phrase "going Turbo" because Turbo was already infamous for leaving his game. That's essentially what "going Turbo" is. Turbo wasnt satisfied with the status quo of his game, so he entered other games and interfered with the natural order of things. That's precisely what Vanellope does in the sequel, but in her case she gets praised for doing so.

This will be my headcanon from now on. Thanks user.

>Vanellope enters the online version of Sugar Rush
>there's already a Vanellope there because she's a normal part of the game
Mite b cool

Coincidentally, I Just watched this tonight too.
Did anyone else get pissed the fuck off that the plot completely undermines the first movie and even the beginning of this one?
It starts with the two girls fawning over how much they love playing as Vanellope, then by the end of it Vanellope justifies staying in Slaughter Race by saying "there are 15 other racers, who's gonna miss me?" Like what the fuck?

Go ahead and go turbo, no one will notice. It's fine. Not like the whole movie was about fixing your game to prevent it from being thrown out, and now you're not in it so Mr. Litwack will just throw it out again.

>Turbo wasnt satisfied with the status quo of his game
Wasn't it because he was a jealous cunt who didn't like kids playing anything other than his game?

>friend
>doesn't let friend to take a violent shit in their own toilet
/0

I was expecting the ending to be that some company buys the rights to Sugar Rush and starts releasing DLC and/or updates to it which they can now download thanks to the internet. Perfect opportunity to explore DLC.

Overwhelmingly Underwhelming

The movie's true message is "If you truly love your loli, you have to let her go."

I don't know what shocks me most...that nobody has figured this out or that Disney tried to get away with this message.

Can you elaborate user?

>energetic small female paired up with bug dumb brute.

How original.

Yeah DLC idea is a goldmine of jokes and it solves Vanellopes boredom and stagnation problem.
>>could've poked fun at mobile games recharge times and in app purchases.

to me, the moment i realized this movie was going to be shit was when Vanellope took over the controls of the game after Ralph created that new track. Like, what the fuck? Why didn't she and Ralph simply wait until night time to do it?

That scene made absolutely no sense and only was in to forefully move the plot to where the writers want it to be.

Anyone got the vocaroo that some guy did of King Candy complaining about the double standard? Because that sums up my feelings of the film pretty nicely.

Elsa and Rapunzel are both nudists

>It seemed overt and ham fisted because it was satire.

lmao no it fucking wasn't

>implying WiR is about video games anymore
Did you forget 80% of the screentime was Ebay and "buzztube" bullshit? They'd rather poke fun at malware.

I must hear this.

>important plot point was about eBay
>website was used incorrectly
>couldn't even bother to get that right

reminder that this was nominated for an Oscar and currently has >90% on RT and positive reviews everywhere

>feminism being mocked
>in a Sarah Silverman film
if it's satire I promise you that it's not intentional

Hollywood needs to be nuked.

violent shit
