Why Ralph Breaks the Internet is the Worst Sequel Ever Made

Ralph Breaks The Internet? Why didn't they name it Ralph Wrecks The Internet!? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!

It’s best to pretend this “movie” is just a fanfic written by a pretentious high school student who only read the Wikipedia plot of the first movie…

Ralph didn’t INTEND to unleash the virus, but let’s remember…. Ralph didn’t INTEND to unleash the Cybugs in the first film. And yet, he was ready to give up everything, sacrifice himself, to stop the Cybugs and attempt to save his friend, and, most importantly, FIX. HIS. MISTAKES.

What Rapunzel should have asked Vanellope was: “Was your rightful identity hidden from you by a villain for their own selfish, self-centered reasons?” But then I guess they would have had to acknowledge Turbo’s existence, therefore making apparent how bad the writing choice for Vanellope's character was.

I always hated how Vanellope gets supported and praised for wanting to do the exact same thing Turbo did in the first movie, but it gets totally handwaved away by her code being fixed offscreen. It's such a blatant case of protagonist-centred morality.

I've heard someone say that this movie isn't just bad but also dangerous. 1. It teaches kids that it's super easy to become an internet sensation 2. It teaches kids that it's easy to win a crap ton of money through YouTube videos in just a few hours 3. It teaches kids that if you're bored with your life than it's perfectly okay to abandon everything else behind for something new. 4. It teaches kids that you can easily hack the internet 5. It teaches kids that it's okay to talk to strangers on the internet

Ralph Before: Runs into a giant nest of bugs that could literally kill him for a medal. Raplh Now: Is too scared to confront a group of 'hooligans' that he could literally kill by swinging his massive arms

Vanellope went Turbo, yet suffered no consequences… One of the main rules of the first film, thrown completely out the window. 💀💀💀

The first movie "Don't mess with the program and go turbo". The second movie "Mess with the program and go turbo".

I feel like Ralph and Vanellope's dynamic could have worked much better if Ralph was more of an overprotective father or older brother to Vanellope

If Wreck-It Ralph was a love letter to video games, then Ralph Breaks the Internet is hate mail (or in this case, hate comment) to content creators.

I love how in the first movie, Ralph literally almost got his game unplugged when he left it while the arcade was open, yet in this movie, he does the exact same thing again. Apparently he learned nothing from the first movie. He’s gonna get his game put out of order again.

The worst sin they committed was promising us Felix and Calhoun then never even showing them for more then one minute

I still can't believe Vanellope goes Turbo, after all she went through in the last movie, and no one calls her out on it.

At least we can easily declare this movie non-canon. Ralph officially broke this movie.

Another nitpicky fact that I still find worth mentioning: Literally why did they not call it Ralph WRECKS The Internet? That was THE PERFECT title. It was right in front of their faces, but no, they went with the inferior title.

Disney heard about The Emoji Movie and for some reason thought "let's do that too".

I love how you imply that Cinderella breaking her glass slipper is out of character because she'd have a lot of sentimental value for the slipper, and not because- yknow- she's a lifelong abuse survivor pointing BROKEN GLASS at a CHILD.

You wanna know something else that’s REALLY mind boggling? The entire reason for Ralph’s characterization in this movie is because one of the directors misunderstood ONE single line of dialogue from the first movie. The director talks about the scene where Ralph says “If that little kid likes me, how bad can I be?” and he says that it’s a sweet sentiment, but you start to realize that it means Ralph has more growing to do. He’s defining himself based on whether or not Vanellope likes him. It doesn’t mean he’s actually learned to like himself. And my response to that is…. This quote from the first movie would beg to differ. “There’s no one I’d rather be, than me.” If that isn’t self acceptance, I don’t know what is. Also, he isn’t basing his happiness solely on Vanellope liking him, he’s saying that he’s glad that at least SOMEONE appreciates him for who he is. By the way, here is proof of what he said. https://youtu.be/eOwQC6DpgO8

Honestly the most disappointing part of the movie for me is that internet based games DO exist. They could have easily done a love letter to internet games like with arcade games instead of sites that have little to no relevance to games. This would obviously have to happen at night, like game characters meeting up in the original movie. Imagine Ralph going to a tower defense game, or Calhoun finding a MMO. It would be so much better.
