Thoughts about Wreck it Ralph 2
Hey all, long time no see... so um... I want to rant about wreck it ralph 2, so if you have not seen it yet I suggest you do NOT read this unless your generally curious and donāt care about spoilers so... you have been warned. What can I say but I was so disappointed I felt like a kid who was promised something good and got scraps or hand me downs to be frank. I am a big Disney fan and from the first time I watched the original Wreck it Ralph I LOVED it! It was retro, funny, great cast, great plot, amazing music and animating, so you can guess hearing about a second one blew my mind I was counting down the weeks till I got to see it which is rare to be that excited for a movie in my case. I did hear rumor before all the leaks and trailers and what not about ideas for the next plot.. like going into console games or going to open world games which would have been amazing! So when I heard about the internet plot I was like āok, there is a lot they can work with here, gonna have to dodge some of the shady stuff but its workable.ā So straight away from the odd opening of the directors talking about the movie which was a little... āoddā to say the least, that does not usually happen in a Disney movie so it kind of gave me a little bit of an āhuh thatās... different?ā In most cases the directors or producers will do that to thank the audience for helping in the movie some how but in this case it seemed like there was something more to it? Maybe a hidden apology somewhere in there... I don't know. Almost immediately into the movie I noticed a change in Ralphās character... he acted... weak, clingy, dumbed down, and definitely not the Ralph I knew in the first film, it made me really cringe at the drastic change they had made to Ralph.. you do not just change a characters entire arch in the second movie like that it is almost taken as a sin in the movie and animating world, and to recognize that head on for sure worried me for the rest of the films plot. The plot to say the least was choppy and filled with holes... it felt like either the animators, producers, directors, or writers, were just rushed and had an original story going cut parts out and moved them around and warped it and stitched it back together, but overall I have a strong feeling it was rushed and I am sure the big wigs at Disney Studios donāt mind sacrificing time and effort if it is something so minimal as Wreck it Ralph but if its Frozen or any princess movie heaven forbid! The plot was all over the place and I was horribly unsatisfied with the ending and Vanellopes (sorry if I misspelled) choice of what game to stay in she is essentially being incredibly selfish and forcing other people to just deal with it or get out of the way which the whole theme being āfriendshipā that's the opposite of what friends should do. And here are my questions, isnāt she essentially going āTurbo?ā, āWouldnāt Sugar Rush get unplugged anyways seeing Vanellope not there?ā, āWhen Slaughter Race gets rebooted wouldnāt the virus get destroyed along with it?ā, āWhy the heck did they choose āinsecuritiesā for the virus... that can go a lot of places really fast.ā, āWhy did they have to make the internet virus Ralphs... it was insanely weird and unsettling.ā So as you can see there is a lot going on with this movie that just does not add up... and I am saddened to have to rant about it cause the story had such great potential along with the characters, but I only sense it going downhill if they do not revert back to the Ralph and Vanellope I know. Donāt get me wrong though there were some amazing and funny scenes in there like that Tron scene ugh beautiful! But not enough for me to want to buy it or see it again in the future, I know I can not be the only one and I hope some way or some how the shared thoughts of Wrecck it Ralph 2 will get to Disneyās mouse ears and hopefully if there will ever be another chance we can get another GOOD Wreck it Ralph movie that I know is possible, Disney just needs to understand not to see $$$ all the time and focus on the art and hard work these creators are trying to make. Thank you everyone who read this far I greatly appreciate it, feel free to share YOUR thoughts with me in the comments!
Until next time!
