Why Ralph Breaks the Internet is a Cinematic Disaster

Oh chef you've really done it now you rabid cur you can't call this movie a cinematic disaster have you even seen a bad movie before this is hyperbole of the highest order this movie is great because Rotten Tomatoes and the Academy said so and you gave it a 6 out of 10 over a year ago so you can never take that back that's your official opinion forever your video is awful based on the title alone and I'm letting you know that before I even watch it Anza scribbled ok now that that's out of the way funding for Schaffer Atlas is provided by Squarespace the sponsor of today's video from websites and online stores to marketing tools and analytics Squarespace is the all-in-one platform to build a beautiful online presence and run your business more info at the end of the video Ralph breaks the Internet is a movie people can like if they enjoy it I can see what people like about it people can feel any way they want to about it opinions are valid with that said I think this is an absolute train wreck embarrassment of a film but before we get into that let's talk about Disney not Disney the animation studio who made those classic films you grew up loving Disney the giant multimedia conglomerate with a stranglehold on the entertainment industry given this companies reach influence and sheer volume of beloved IPs I think it's safe to make the following statement Disney doesn't need to try anymore not saying that they've stopped trying they've released some incredible works of art throughout the 2010s with a ton of effort put into them but all I'm saying is they don't need to put effort in any more in order to succeed the Walt Disney Company is too big to fail they can release uninspired remake after uninspired remake mediocre sequel after mediocre sequel and it doesn't matter people will eat it up because their emotional connection to the Walt Disney brand is too strong remember in my mega minds video when I said illuminations stop trying after the first Despicable Me because they realized they would make money either way well that's the threshold Disney finds themselves on now but to an even larger degree unless audiences get real sick of unoriginal 'ti real soon there is no longer a need to experiment or come up with inventive brilliant ideas in order to succeed as a company and this past decade has been the culmination of that fact Star Wars is loaded with nostalgia baten its attempts to be original have mostly backfired Pixar has been churning out sequel after sequel that more often than not lack the imagination and ingenuity that made the originals such a success and of course the live-action remakes that suck all the personality out of the original film and replaced them with pandering hollow pseudo woke miss teaching another girl to reroute isn't one enough you know Amy anytime someone calls attention to the breaking of gender roles it ultimately undermines the concept of gender equality by implying that this is an exception and not the status quo what does he mean it's not all bad news though the MCU has been pretty good overall every once in a while Pixar remembers how to make something really exceptional and honestly the most consistent voice throughout this decade of unoriginal 'ti and fanservice and pandering has been who else Walt Disney Animation Studios after an abysmal decade during the 2000s they've kind of taken Pixar's crown as the premier animation studio of the 2010s Pixar has made more money but Disney Animation has left more of an impact I feel their movies throughout the 2010 have mostly all had heart creativity wit energy and above all effort put in even the movies I don't like as much like the frozen films and big hero 6 aren't lazy in the slightest they're well put together and have a ton of artistic merit yes not some artistic merit and on the opposite end movies like Moana and tangled have become some of my all-time favorites these movies are not perfect but they're all refreshingly original and special in their own ways I always thought of this decade as a new Disney Renaissance of sorts but it didn't last because fresh off the heels of one of their greatest movies ever Moana Disney released one of the shittiest movies in their entire catalog and that's kinda saying a lot Ralph Briggs the Internet is emblematic of every problem modern Disney has it's uninspired its pandering it's a sequel to a movie that didn't warrant a continuation it even has a dash of mishandled pseudo woken Asst oh my gosh by golly you did it Disney yeah made the perfect storm of awfulness granted there are at least three Pixar movies this that are worse but Ralph breaks the internet more than any of these movies screams we don't have to try anymore we have our brands we have those characters you liked in the first movie we have an actual good message buried underneath the abysmal ham-fisted execution we'll take that Oscar now thank you very much we earned it for sure oh hey this is gonna be a tough one to get through but I guess I should start by being nice to the movie since it's not the worst thing ever hell it's only the fourth worst animated movie released under the Disney umbrella this decade oh wait sorry the fifth worst animated movie so let's get into the stuff I actually really like don't worry there's not much I [Music] think the most obvious thing that is not terrible about this movie will be the Disney Princess stuff their first scene doesn't feel like awful product placement like the stuff right before it it feels like a genuinely funny kind of important plot development since Penelope subverted the typical princess role at the end of the first movie seeing them take that meta commentary one step further in the sequel is actually a smart idea she teaches them the power of comfy clothing with legit clever references on them and in turn they teach her the power of following your dream heart song and whatnot it's really funny to see an unconventional princess like Penelope try and come up with an I want song of her own and miserably fail at first but yeah I love the princess stuff in this I liked how well the 2d designs translate into 3d I like that Threepio is their Butler cuz that just kind of fits right in perfectly I liked Ariel's passionate ballad about shirts I liked that Elsa isn't given more screen time than the others I like how this movie hates Merida as much as I do and that payoff at the end with all the princesses using their abilities to save Ralph is so damn good it's super creative hearing instrumental versions of each princess's theme is an excellent touch and it was neat to see a semi obscure character like Prince Naveen in frog form that's averted my expectations speaking of which vanellope song honestly gives me so much joy it works really well as a subversion of the classic Disney I want power ballad formula and it's a pretty good song once you separate it from how terribly written her motivations are reminds me of another song place called slaughter races filled with so much imagination and whimsy to the point where I genuinely wonder if the people who worked on it are the same people who made the rest of this pile of garbage okay sorry positives I'm sure there's more positives the Ralph monster is really well animated and absolutely abominable great work animation team the two post-credit scenes are legendary I can't believe Disney actually animated a Rick role like it's an older meme but it checks out Rick Rowling is legendary in the vast history of the Internet and it's not really an example of Disney's executives being behind the times it's a legit good tribute Ralph as Bob Ross was inspired and this is what I was referring to in my first review the one viral video Ralph made that was good it was this one how did you guys not am I just old and you young'uns had no idea who Ralph was supposed to be here like please explain III guess family is an okay character I don't know the part where he tries to catch Ralph's was the only time I laughed outside of the princess stuff in the song it was cute when Ralph and vanellope didn't understand how auctions work I liked how nose more's eyes are done with 2d animation I don't know I'm really trying here guys oh wait this line this line is great I like when Ralph commits homicide on this lady's internet connection and yeah that's about it this movie isn't quite the same slog as brave or the good dinosaur but in a lot of ways it's more insulting than either of those movies since it takes likable pre-established characters and really mangles both of them in such a disappointing fashion so while this film has good elements and while I'd sooner sit through it and Pixar's unholy trilogy I hate it much more than those films simply on account of what it represents this film much like the title implies is broken from its premise to its characters to its messages and hey let's talk about that middle thing shall we so I like the first wreckit-ralph movie quite a bit maybe not as much as I did when I was younger and certainly not as much as the animated musicals but I still think it's a really strong film and before any you smart alecks trying to accuse me of having a musical bias I'll have you know that lilo and stitch is a cinematic masterpiece and one of my favorite Disney movies and that's not even a musical so they're gaudy anyway yeah wreck-it Ralph is really good like I said thanks Satan I think it has an incredibly captivating setting and a really strong premise it has a lot of great video game references from the in-your-face to the subtle ones King candy is a legit fantastic villain Ralph and vanellope 's bond is really strong and they're inevitable big fight scene is actually very well implemented into the story and legitimately pretty heartbreaking and they didn't have to destroy the characters personalities in order to make it happen and yeah I don't know man that climax an ending both really give me the feels what can I say it's a nice charming story with a happy ending or so we thought turns out vanellope wants more out of life cuz after six years of living out her dream of being a sugar rush racer it's gotten kind of old and she wants something new and exciting but Ralph just wants everything to stay the same perfectly content with the life he has now that's actually not a bad setup for a conflict unfortunately these two are [ __ ] who don't realize that their actions have consequences the nella peas job is to be a racer Ralph's job is to wreck the building but in the middle of the day when the arcade is open Ralph's figures it's a great time to build vanellope a new track which she drives towards against the wishes of her player this really couldn't have waited until nighttime can't vanellope just go do her job in the daytime and then drive on Ralph's cool new course at night this sounds like a minor point but it's not since this is what causes the wheel to break the game to get unplugged and the thousands of candy people to become homeless all because these two acted alarmingly selfishly and didn't consider the consequences of their actions I kind of thought after the first movie when Ralph's game ran the risk of getting unplugged once he went turbo that he would have learned a lesson about not doing this sort of [ __ ] and don't worry we'll get back to turbo later but yeah Ralph the movie maker abandons his game for the day and in manila B's game as it's being played cuz he just can't make it through the day without his best buddy vanellope feeling down this can't wait till later oh no no no why because Ralph is insecure he's paranoid about the idea that he and vanellope are arguing over something and he needs to resolve this non argument right now and this is honestly the biggest problem with the film it treats Ralph like a blithering man baby when that really wasn't who he was at all in the first film he was more of an everyman a down-on-his-luck guy who was tired of nobody appreciating him his relationship to vanellope gave off more of a father-daughter or lame uncle vibe where there's definitely a strong connection there but it's more of a mentorship sort of thing I know video game characters don't age but Ralph is programs is this older dude and vanellope his program is like a ten-year-old girl it would be really weird if Ralph was this ultra clingy best friend who acts defensive and angry whenever this ten-year-old girl wants to hang out with someone else oh wait Ralph and vanellope 'he's relationship in this movie is just so weird as an adult you kind of bring yourself down a few levels to interact with kids which is what i assumed was happening in the first movie but I guess Ralph really just has the mental capacity of a five-year-old while vanellope is discovering her passions like someone in their early 20s would it's a weird juxtaposition if Ralph acted like more of an overprotective father and less of a creepy needy obsessive best friends that would have worked a lot better but this is preposterous anyway back to Ralph being an [ __ ] he never apologizes for getting sugar rush unplugged rendering thousands of people homeless and he acts like this is some amazing thing for vanellope now they can just hang out all the time and do nothing which is exactly what she wants except not if Ralph had just employed basic listening skills he could be trying to console her for losing her home but instead his head is so far up his own ass that he expresses how excited he is that vanellope can now live out his ideal life of doing nothing all day now isn't the whole point of the movie Ralph's learning that this way of thinking is wrong you may ask yeah but I feel like Ralph and the first movie wasn't this emotionally dim or selfish I don't think this is a lesson he needed to learn or if he did need to he shouldn't have acted this insecure about it but every turn he expresses how much he doesn't trust vanilla peas cool new friend shank or how sad he's gonna be to spend a couple hours apart from his best friends who he hasn't been separated from in six years except every single day when they go to work in their own separate games but god forbid she carries a pop-up ad around by herself for two hours all of it just lacks subtlety and I think the giant Ralph monster is a tremendous example of how unsubtle and creepy the message is when you apply it to these characters sorry that I don't like the image of a grown man slobbering over his friendship with a little girl wish I could tell you that I don't find that weird cuz I do i buy the connections between characters and Toy Story because they do it with toys that physically look to be the same age but this is uncomfortable and super on the nose like there's this really awkward line where Ralph basically just states the message of the movie without allowing kids to pick it up themselves I'm up here I can see how I do come across as needy and clingy and self-destructive like knows more soon I think the fact that the movie ends with Ralph and vanellope apart is enough to let kids get the message guys subtlety is a blessing when I was a kid and I watched ratatouille I didn't need these chefs to say wow I don't like the idea of working for an idiot controlled by a rat that's weird I quit I understood what their motivations were without them saying anything kids are smarter than you think as opposed to Ralph who is dumber than I thought because when he sees but now I'll be wanting to stay in slaughter race he's so emotionally unintelligent that he just assumes that she's brainwashed yeah that makes sense after all her desire to race in a more exciting environment just sprang up out of the blue she never mentioned this before like seriously dude how dense are you you've known her for six years and you don't understand that this is what she's always wanted so Ralph in a final act of character assassination decides to unleash a deadly virus in the slaughter race to make it so boring that vanellope will want to leave now given Ralph's experience with viruses you'd think that this would not be something he would want to be doing to this game his best friend is and what the hell do you know of course Ralph would do that just trust us this movie won an Oscar before the Oscars even happened phew Arthur will find some defect in the code and spread it all over the game till everything becomes quote-unquote boring oh really you're telling me he's that much of a brain-dead [ __ ] that he goes through with this plan after hearing that are you stupid because the only way anyone gets hurt is if you are stupid so yeah something goes wrong if an L bees gonna die and I love how there's 60 seconds to save her but Ralph wastes time explaining to the audience I means family that she'll die if he doesn't get her out like you can't else family that after you go save her you don't exactly have time to waste and then 10 seconds later shank literally says the exact same thing so there literally with no reason to have Ralph say this to the audience just one of the many insecurities present in the script but when you got too many insecurities they just build and build until your movie becomes this giant horrifying stitched together abomination that lays waste to everything in its path and that's no good also many have mentioned this but I love how the movie just forgets about the virus it's still loose on the internet right they only got rid of the Ralph's clones but the screen right I mean Ralph and vanellope just kind of forgot about this little bugger whoops oh well at least with how bad Ralph is there's no way vanellope can possibly be worse right no right right actually like yeah she's not as bad but she's still not good in vanilla peas case a lot of people seem to take issue with the fact that her story arc entirely contradicts the previous film she's going turbo jumping from game to game with no thought of the consequences the first film constantly tells his characters that they can't go turbo and that game jumping is the worst thing you can possibly do but Venipede does it in this movie what in tarnation that's bad writing and to that I say yes yes it is but not exactly for the reasons most people think did you know that people change over time they get different goals they have different dreams they think they know what they want but what they want to get sold to them and they want to find their passion somewhere else there's nothing wrong with the concept of vanellope wanting to find a different game to call home but the problem here is the rules the first movie drills the idea into your head that going turbo is bad but not necessarily Ralph went turbo and it led to a string of events that save vanellope from a life of isolation and depression all the while destroying the original turbo once and for all it was bad for Ralph's games since it appeared to be broken without him there but that's cuz he's a crucial character for the game to work vanellope says herself that she's one of sixteen racers though it's weird that she says no one would miss her when she clearly makes the game more popular still sugar rush functioned for years without her on the roster it could feasibly function without her whenever I go to the arcade with my friends I'd probably still play Mario Kart even if waluigi suddenly vanished from the roster one day it would sting and be really disappointing and it might cry about it that night before booting up Smash Bros to cheer myself up before being hit with a double e crushing revelation but hey I'd still play the games if vanellope wants to follow her passions good for her but considering the fact that she's basically doing what the villian did in the last movie and they don't even mention him once that's kind of jarring like Ralph could tell her there's no way she should go turbo under any circumstances and vanellope the person most hurt by turbos actions could try and convince him that there's some good to be had from game jumping an old set in stone perspective gets challenged by the new generation but that would require these people to have rewatched the first movie which they clearly didn't do so turbo goes completely unmentioned oh but frozen to can mention Hans just fine it's so weird that a sequel so thematically tied to the last movies villain pretends he doesn't exist while Hans gets 15 references and frozen to despite being completely irrelevant to its story and themes what's up with that what's up with that anyway vanellope though well I don't think she's as poorly written as Ralph I do think the script portrays er is just a bit too selfish like she could take time to consider the implications of leaving her game for good and all the other racers who apparently hate her again I thought everyone liked her at the end of the first movie did the racers also forget to rewatch the first movie vanellope doesn't really consider the idea that there's a chance the game won't be popular enough without her around and that the game could get unplugged leaving all the sugar rushers homeless once again like I said I don't think that would be the case but it's a possibility vanilla P should really consider but she doesn't she already went against the will of her player and broke her game also not really caring about the con quences why should she start caring now and while I think her big emotional blow up with Ralph is completely justified after what he did I still think she got off too easy regards to the more selfish aspects of her story arc she's never called out and she never comes to the realization that her actions might have hurt Ralph's feelings or her own gain between the two of them Ralph is clearly more wrong but the movie insists that vanellope isn't wrong at all and that's just not true in the end while I like vanellope leaving to pursue her dreams and the message the movie is going for it kind of ignores the fact that friendship is a two-way street both Ralph and vanellope had room to grow as friends but the movie only seemed interested in pointing out Ralph's negative tendencies as a friend which feels incredibly disingenuous okay so the movies not great it feels but that's okay cuz the comedy is really good right no no it is not is actually not I was telling a fib this movie opens up with a burp off and a conversation about Zangief waxing no I'll keep this part short and sweet the movie is not funny it's shockingly nice I had a couple chuckles here and there and even a goofball or two but for the most part this film just swings and misses over and over again internet comedy does not mix well with middle-aged dudes making a movie for kids there's no humor to be found in the Internet this movie portrays it's just showing us how the Netscape works and haha Ralph's things Google is where you get goggles that's a riot you slay me Disney you slay me if the movie wanted to satirize internet video trends it failed because all they really did was acknowledge that these trends exist shoving Ralph's into various viral video trends is quite frankly embarrassing and unfunny aside from Bob Ross I like that one but for the most part it's just haha Ralph is a screaming goat and now he's flossing also I hate to get up on my soapbox but I don't like how this movie portrays making dozens of viral videos in a day as something completely positive with no real repercussions outside of mean comments check it out kids Ralph's got rich by making viral videos you can - that's a bad message not only is it unrealistic but it's unhealthy burnout is such a huge concern for content creators and the fact that this movie pretends like it doesn't exist really irritates me just make Ralph tired make him wanna quit after making all these videos have him doubt his resolve to keep going but he has to it's for his best friend but now instead the movie decides that the comments section is the negative aspect it wants to focus on which is hysterical see this is still relevant to the comedy section of the video because these comments are a joke Ralph's video stink Ralph's is the worst I hate him like what kind of life through these people lead where they get off on trying to hurt of video game characters feelings what are they smash fans I can't believe the movie tries to play this as a serious sad moment this is like the emotional scene in Cars 2 where mater realizes everyone thinks he's an idiot whoa your yankin at my heartstrings they are guys slow down anyway yeah there's really not much critique of the Internet to be found here and Ralph and vanellope really aren't that funny but hey they're just two of the four main characters from the original film what about Felix and Calhoun remember them they were pretty funny in the first movie and they got married what wacky adventures are in store for them none going into this movie I didn't see them at all in the marketing and I really wondered what role they would have if any then they set up this great sunflower they adopt all the sugar rush racers I was really looking forward to that as a counterbalance to all the internet stuff why do I even bother this really funny sounding subplot happens entirely off screen like god forbid we get rid of some of the corporate pandering scenes to spend time with two of the main characters in the last movie doing something new honestly Felix was probably my favorite character from the first movie besides King candy so this just sucks bro I'm straight-up not having a good time I guess Felix was too busy covering for Ralph like you said he would hey wait a minute how is he doing that the arcade is open Ralph is not in his post last time this happened everything went wrong does the movie care to follow its own rules or are we just cool with hinging this entire premise on a throwaway line also Ralph and Felix ayyy boy way too much which like I think that term became widely used after this movie came out but still actually boy remember when the creative team knew what they were doing I remember [Music] it's abundantly clear that the creative team did their homework on gaming culture with the first movie now while it wraps up its story very nicely it does kind of leave you with a lasting impact and seeing Ralph and his buddies explore new gaming worlds we only really saw this one arcade but what about console games visual novels life simulators RPGs fantasy action games what if Ralph went into Minecraft and vanellope started building a really terrible house which was just like the worst thing ever and the snooty gated community made fun of it so Ralph decided to wreck their homes and then he gets chased by the Minecraft police and I'm assuming this is what happens in the game I don't play minecraft but my point is the possibilities are so endless when expanding the world of wreck-it Ralph there's so many new frontiers to take video game characters to the point where even though I was satisfied with how the first movie story ended I was actually excited by the prospect of a sequel here's some stuff I found from Wikipedia about the early ideas director rich Moore had for a second installment pause and read it if you want and yes professor I checked all the links they cited and all of the information is accurate stop shaming me for using Wikipedia it's a perfectly reputable source of information and the academic community should legalize it I hear some academic tournaments actually allow Wikipedia as a counterpick source and I think that's some great progress see look at that perry the platypus I know my gaming tournament terminology except that I don't I didn't know a counterpick meant until I looked it up on Wikipedia for this video this is what I'm telling you Wikipedia has so much knowledge to give use its knowledge I beg you okay that might have been my worst tangent ever like I don't even see how that was related at all to when I was talking about I mean I guess it was tangentially related like I needed to get that information from Wikipedia in order to inform you guys about the movie but that didn't really further my quest to explain why this movie is complete boudu oh you know what would really prove my point let's go to letterbox and see what the review say blender box is always reputable except when it's not and this movie has a what 3.3 are I didn't want to do this again but looks like I have to film another song parody in order to get this letter box score down to the 1.5 to 1.9 range it desperately deserves I think I'm gonna start a new account for that though no need to use this one I mean I'm a moderately well known guy people remember if I start from scratch on a new account my song is sure to go viral and make me hundreds of dollars in the span of one hour in less than 24 hours I'll have enough money to buy letterbox to lead all the reviews that disagree with my point of view maybe pay off some people and make sure they keep their scores low and voile ah everyone will agree with me and I'll finally be happy and hey some people and letterboxed already get it ihe calls the movie astonishingly bad I couldn't have said it better myself Stevi synopsis of the film is as follows Ralph makes an ASMR video and get cyber bullied yep no you nailed it that's that's absolutely right hmm a positive one alright I'll give it a shot okay that's fair but what does Paul O'Connor have to say this movie is really really bad I find it hypocritical that people bashed the emoji movie for being an ad but don't bash this movie at all the plot is not good the story is very weak yadda yadda yadda other words Ralph breaks the internet is barely a step up from the emoji movie [ __ ] man that's the most accurate review I've ever seen in my thoughts and feelings on this feature film I truly don't understand why the world of this movie is given a pass when it's just a blatant assortment of never any product placement I don't mind the characters having to use the internet to travel between online games which should have been the focus of the movie but there's a lot of time spent in this clean sterile visually unappealing Internet populated with endless real-life brands and it just comes across as gross the first movie was mostly spent in sugar rush which is such a visually appealing deliciously animated world but this movie primarily takes place in this boring blueish wastelands wasteland shut up John Ratzenberger go back to Star Wars fun fact John Ratzenberger actually appeared in The Empire Strikes Back as the guy who tells Leia the shield doors must be closed it's interesting because many creatives who frequently work for Disney like Favreau and Tyco ITT make little cameos and Disney Star Wars projects but John Ratzenberger who's had a voice role in every Pixar movie got his Star Wars cameo in 1980 way before Disney purchased the brand's and before Pixar even existed that's kind of bonkers and I'd like to thank Wikipedia for giving me this information I will be reminding you of Wikipedia many times throughout this review is gonna pop up again don't you worry well let's see what I did in the segment so far I think it was about 10% substance and 90% [ __ ] around various websites for tangentially related reasons and I for one am proud of that as a matter of fact I fully expect this video to win the Academy Award for Best video essay which will be implemented at my request once my ambitious plans to purchase every website known to man go through I'll be a shoe-in the quality of my analysis it doesn't matter I have more than 10 subscribers my channels too big to fail why do I need to try anymore why even bother let's bring it all back to the crown jewel of this movie the oh my Disney sequence people like to leverage a certain complaint against movies with product placement in them it's just a commercial this Playmobil movie is just a Playmobil commercial immanuel movie using a moon joke commercial Al Pacino what are you doing no you're the chosen one sorry Albert I didn't want to do this but we gotta put you down buddy when I talk about a sponsor I do so with the knowledge that a I've made it clear that this is sponsored content and be my audience consists of teens and adults who understand the concept of sponsored content children don't realize that the movie they're watching subliminally wants them to go - oh my Disney calm and take thee what Disney Princess are you quiz themselves which before you ask I got jasmine they don't realize that they're being primed to listen to the pop cover of let it go over and over they don't realize that the movie wants them to ask their parents to see Star Wars or guardians of the galaxy or Toy Story right after what I'm sorry what the hell how do you pick up Buzz Lightyear's design that badly just borrow the model from Pixar it's not hard I understand that this is just a three-minute scene and it's pretty unimportant in the grand scheme of the movie but hey it dominated the marketing now didn't it it's clearly the take away Disney wanted to leave you with and it's genuinely so jarring that it takes me out of the film entirely the magic of watching a new Disney movie is sucked out completely because the film bombard you with brands instead of artistry Disney has really gotten on this huge and nostalgic kick as of late cuz the more it reminds you of its previous works a lot more people will die or get a Disney Plus subscription that works for them too the live-action remakes and Star Wars movies are the most obvious examples of nostalgia bate but then you got endgame we kind of ignore this aspect of the movie since we all liked it and it fit the story really well but damn don't you want to re-watch that first Avengers movie again don't you want to put on that fun as hell guardians of the galaxy movie don't you want to give Thor the dark world another chance oh please oh god give it another chance and there's frozen - in my review I complained about the movies bizarre need to reference the first film over and over but wow that was intentional wasn't it all this talk of hinds and these snow sculptures depicting the events of the first movie if you're a little kid how can you not want your parents to put on the first movie as soon as you get home and Toy Story 4 didn't actually fall into this trap to be honest I'm very impressed but Ralph breaks my theme patience did this whole scene is a trap to quote the late fleet admiral guile Akbar children can't repel advertisements of that magnitude that might have been a paraphrase I'm not sure if you wanted to satirize the Disney brand than fine but that's not at all what this is we get that from the princess scene a little bit and that's all fine and good but what does this ready player one jumble of nostalgia really accomplish in the grand scheme of the film nothing there's nothing funny charming satirical or interesting here it really is just a trail mix bag of assorted Disney properties I'm look at this obsessive fan interrogating baby Groot he could ask something really funny but instead he asked if Groot is a descendant of a tree Red Skull mentioned one time that literally no one has ever thought about and he asks it so aggressively like they had the pieces for a really funny interaction but they needed a more ridiculous obsessive question from this guy the joke is really half-baked also Wow baby Groot remember when he was relevant for one movie three years ago I'm sure if this movie came out today they totally still would have used baby Groot and not any other baby from a subsidiary owned by Disney none whatsoever God everything about this movie is just so dated it's less than two years old and it already feels dated I don't understand how you managed that for a movie so obsessed with trends and trying to stay relevant in the digital age it really doesn't hold up and like imagine watching this in ten years imagine seeing the references the fortnight Chewbacca dad screaming goats all that pantry [ __ ] and thinking is this what our culture was like and the first Ralph's movie simply wasn't like this eight years later it doesn't feel like it's aged at all it's a simple love letter to arcade gaming and it has some incredibly endearing characters in a charming story and fun world nothing about this movie's world is fun or charming were there any memorable locations you would love to visit were there any non musical sequences that sparked your imagination or filled you with a sense of wonder and amazement if Sora Donald and Goofy were told that instead of crossing the ocean with Moana and Maui or helping Nick and Judi solve a case they had to enter the internet and visit a Disney fan page in order to raise enough money for a steering wheel would that really be a world you'd be excited to play maybe you would I don't know I don't care frankly all I know is that for me this movie killed the magic of Disney it distilled the very essence of the brand into safe corporate schlock that only barely recaptures the heart and soul of the original in short one-off sequences it's a movie with good intentions buried underneath all the cynicism and laziness but it fails to properly develop its message due to its insistence on dumbing down its characters to an asinine degree it exists as a brand extension first and a film second not once ever justifying its existence as a follow-up to wreck-it Ralph or a piece of the Walt Disney Animation Studios catalog at best it's an impressively animated direct-to-dvd sequel but even that's kind of an insult to some of the better direct-to-dvd sequels it's really just a slightly less cynical version of ready player one or the emoji movie but it doesn't get nearly as much flak for some reason maybe people are just too attached to these characters to realize how bastardize they are in this film or maybe they just like getting Disney references shoveled into their face with no rhyme or reason who knows who cares I'm just done I'm done getting my hopes up that any Disney film will be exceptional or even just good at the bare minimum Ralph breaks the internet broke me the future of animation is in the hands of Netflix Lika maybe even Sony look to the innovators of the medium and get stoked for the passionate projects they're putting out and if Disney or Pixar could still squeeze out a great film I'll be happy good for them but greatness is starting to become the exception not the rule but you know what I'm gonna make the most out of this bad movie situation maybe if I make an amazing phenomenal professional-looking website Ralph and vanellope will go to it in wreck-it Ralph three wouldn't that be

While I agree with it being really bad. I feel like his whole rant about how it destroyed the magic. Was a little over dramatic. I get it but at the same time, grow up. Still great video overall
