Wreck it Ralph as a franchise is so strange. The first film represents everything i ADORE in a movie and the second film represents everything I DESPISE in a movie
The more details I learn about Wreck-it Ralph, the more it BLOWS MY MIND and the more I love and appreciate it. This film was so meticulously crafted with so much nerdy love and effort and the characters are written incredibly. There’s so much foreshadowing and little details you’d never notice on a first viewing, and it’s just so clever in every aspect. Everything just feels so natural, the dialogue, the world- I could go on about how much I love it for hours
Meanwhile Ralph Breaks the Internet is Disney’s Emoji Movie… the more I (unfortunately) learn about it the more disappointed I become. And also it’s already so outdated it’s painful. No- It was outdated when it was made. SOMEHOW. A movie about the MODERN ERA. Is MORE OUTDATED than a MOVIE ABOUT ARCADE GAMES!!? Stopping myself so I don’t rant for paragraphs. I haven’t even seen it in full because I know that watching it would break me LOL
I know they had concepts of Ralph traveling to the internet in the first film that they had to cut because it was too much to add an entirely new world. (Thank god)
I know this has been covered Extensively before. But It just continues to baffle me how this even happened. And saddens me. (Especially now that Wish is a thing) Sure it’s the same characters, but every little thing that made the original GREAT is just. Absent or downgraded at worst. And it was the same director… did something happen? Or was a sequel always going to be bad because corporate executives insisted on the vision of “Internet Crossover” cuz of how much they could self advertise and get product placement money and. Yeah.
At this point I’m just happy the first movie was as good as it is and we just have to leave it at that. Even though the missed potential Deeply Hurts me💔
