How could anyone stand to live like Ralph did in his game Wreck-It Ralph? He was forced to spend decades of his life living in a dump, alone, next to individuals who not only didn’t acknowledge his contributions to their game, but actively despised him for who he was. At some point you’d think this hot tempered villain would’ve summoned his strength to free himself from his conditions, go rogue from his game and forge a life for himself, but he never did. Ralph was created to be a villain yet he never went Turbo, but why didn’t he? What separated Turbo from Ralph?

I think "Going Turbo" means to take over someone else. Turbo was popular in his arcade game. I think when that other racing game appeared, Turbo grew jealous. That is how Turbo got into the game and survived the unplugging. I need to know how "Sugar Rush" was made. Was there a secret behind this candy-coated racing game?
Wotso Videos poor Ralph i want to hug him

Tablet Aussendienst me too
Why do you think *he* never went Turbo?* Sorry, I had to...
Ralph never went turbo because his intention never was to abandon his game, just prove himself worthy to the Nice Landers, even though those little jerks should have known because without him there is no game, and seen his importance in the first place. Sorry, I think that they shouldn't be called the nice landers, they are jerks, they should be the snob landers.
Really? SnobLanders? Not-so bad, but "JerkLanders" or "DorkLanders" sound better, dosen't?
Agree. I just don't understand how they can't see that the villain is always the most important part of the game.
@@ClaudetteVioletta yes
@@cottontail1039 Yup, there are two options in games;
Villains or challenge
If the game is based on there being a villain then without a villain there is no conflict, without conflict there is no story, and without a story there is no game.
If the game is based off challenge then without challenge there is no game.
The game they are in is based around Ralph wrecking stuff and Felix fixing it, without ralph to wreck stuff there isn't anything for felix to fix and so there is no game.
The jerklanders
I think it's because Ralph just wanted friends and respect, but Turbo wanted popularity. Also might be because Ralph knew what could happen from going Turbo, but Turbo didn't, and Ralph didn't want to destroy any games.
Emily Lynn Yeah!
Yeah Ralph had the knowledge of turbos mistakes
Turbo wanted fame, Ralph just wanted respect
tbh I always thought the nicelanders were the villains cus they took away Ralph's forest and dumped him away. then they treated him awfully and would dehumanize him the whole time like bruh I hated it
True
Yep
They are technically.
Ralph is another misperceived individual.
that kinda gives alot of thought about irl, where people are actively cutting down forests to build cities, they don't build AROUND it, no, they build THROUGH it, which like... ok understandable that we need to have shelter and stuff, but what about other living species? deer? birds? wolves? the trees are what they use to hide much like a house is what WE use to hide, dang... humans and animals are basically in a territorial war cause animals DO fight back by destroying crops and breaking into homes and stores and proceeding to trash everything lol
I think in a nutshell, Ralph didn't go turbo because he had a sort of villain support group to help him cope with the idea that he may go under appreciated. But Turbo was really just egotistical and jealous of the new game taking over his fame etc.
He only started showing up in the villain support group at the 30th anniversary. The difference between Turbo and Ralph is Ralph didn't care if his own game was the most popular. He just wanted the Nicelanders to treat him as a human being and, most importantly, he wanted a friend which he found with Vanellope.
Pretty much.
Turbo was 'programmed' but really, is a jerk born or made? Anyways, Turbo needed to win. He had to be the best at everything. No matter what the cost was, no matter who got hurt.
Ralph, even though technically going 'Turbo' (I.e. Rouge) he did it for validation, to prove he wasn't just some villain. Even disregarding the other villains advice to 'suck it up, just do your job because you have to' but realize- at any point, Ralph could've went Turbo and destroyed any game he wanted to, just because he felt dehumanized. Ralph had will, and morals. Turbo simply...didn't.
It's kind of funny how the one person who was acting the most defensive about Ralph possibly going Turbo turned out to be Turbo himself. He really doesn't like competition, it seems.
I believe it had something to do with their different motivations. Turbo wanted his reputation to exceed across the entire arcade, while Ralph just wanted to be happy in his own game. When he left, he wasn’t really abandoning his life, he just wanted to make it better, hence his plan to go outside his game to retrieve a medal, but then go back with it!!
@@VGamingJunkieVT yeah it seems like that its like the nice landers are the bullies and they don't treat him with respect Penelope be came his friend and he feels respected by her it's like in real life some people are bullied and harassed in school by others in real life will have deep rooted issues like loneliness and sadness and anger issues it's like me I have deep rooted issues like that from high school like on the internet if a troll attacks me or my friends I tend to go over board like getting extremely angry at a troll b
In my opinion, Ralph didn't go turbo is because his name isn't the title of the game he's in. This might not make sense at first, but bear with me.
Turbo was litteraly named after his game, Turbo Time. He was the centre of attention, not only from his arcade game, but the game itself. He was obsessed with winning and keeping people's attention directed towards him, to the extent where it was litteraly insane.
So when Roadblasters came into the image, he was scared that the attention would suddenly dissapear, so he did everything in his power to get his name back into the world, or at least race.
Ralph however, isn't really the centre of everything, and his name isn't the title of the game. His internal problem wasn't as big as Turbo's. He just wanted to be the good guy, so he could simply be accepted, but not centre of attention.
That's just my invald opinion.
Why does it makes sense yet it doesn’t?
@@stargalaxy3639 Let me guess.
Felix?
Kyot09222 yep
No, in every other game, the other characters may have been fighting eachother in the game, but outside they all treated eachother with respect. In ralph's situation, Ralph was disrespected both inside and out of the game, to the point where the same party he helped to create, he wasn't invited to, because all the other characters in his game disliked him so immensely outside of the gaming world. Even the mortal kombat, and street fighter characters treated eachother with respect. And to Ralph, he seemed like the only character with this situation. Where-as other games seemed to be okay with their villans. So he left, because he had enough of being hated for 20 years.
@@someweirdoguy6633 if I were ralph I would've left a long time ago
My favorite bit in the whole movie is his line, "And I'm a big part of the game. Why are YOU here Gene?" lol The delivery is superb.
I think Ralph never went turbo because he just wanted to be accepted. He wanted to celebrated at least once. He just wanted a simple medal while Turbo wanted to be the center if attention. Turbo wanted to win all the time, to be the greatest racer of all time.
Turbo had jealously Ralph had envy
Max Browning they are the same thing
Baduux nope not the same thing at all and more often than not they're mixed up for the other. jealousy is the fear of losing something you allready have and envy is wanting something some one else has
BOOM ii Nope, Jealousy and envy is wanting or longing for something that someone else has.
Marl H youre just explaining envy thow, using the most common situation of jealousy i.e. someone flirting with your romantic partner what is it by your definition that this person posses that youre wanting or longing for whilst theyre attempting to take something that's yours
Turbo wanted to be the no. 1 character in the no. 1 game in the whole arcade,
Ralph only wanted recognition from characters from his own game.
"Your the bad guy , but that doesn't mean your a "bad" guy"
I say that to my Scar plushie.
you're***
Translation: Just because you play the role of the villain doesn’t directly make you a bad person.
Karl Velazquez exactly, Ralph isn't a villain, he's got a temper but that doesn't make him a villain, why does this youtuber naively call him one
Well, Ralph IS a villain in the game, thats his job, he is a villain but not a bad guy. Being a villain or hero is kindda a job in the movie, not the villain=bad and evil thingy we all know.
Or we can say that Ralph is a villain in game but not in movie.
so him referring Ralph as a villain is most likely just calling Ralph by his job. like that artist or that programmer, so, that villain.
I feel another factor is Qbert, Ralph can see what happens when a console gets unplugged what the consequences are.
I always found the nice landers to be stupid for hating Ralph for so long, they all know they are programs and it's his job so really it's unfounded, Felix really should have done something about it sooner since he actually held no ill will towards Ralph
but that's how it is I guess
I don't think Felix realized how rotten Ralph felt and Ralph probably didn't start feeling bad about it until the 30th Anniversary, like he was suffering a Midlife Crisis. He probably thought Ralph was okay with it. When they reunited in the Fungeon, Felix is angry at him and doesn't think he knows what it's like to be rejected and treated like a criminal. It must have been a really whammy line to hear "That's every day of my life". I wouldn't be surprised if Felix is one of the main reasons, other than their game almost getting shut down, that the Nicelanders actually started treating Ralph as a person, because now Felix knows how it feels.
MetroidJunkie fair enough but it still seems that the nice landers being mean to Ralph was obvious and maybe he should have noticed in 30 years, but then again Felix pretty much never assumes the worst in people so he probably never thought about it.
I'll give Felix this at the party he was nice to Ralph with no ill will but idk it's probably just a matter of poor communication and people not thinking about other perspectives after all they are programs
Felix is kind, but he's also terrible at reading people. It's obvious he's never out himself on Ralph or anyone else's shoes. He's the hero, he's the son of a hero, so he doesn't ever think about being the villain.
@iiKawaii-Chanii 101 So?
@@metageek7878 Felix is the hero, so I guess he just never felt the way Ralph felt until going into the prison. He always assumed Ralph liked where he was, and even after the party he didn't think too much of Ralph being resentful. It's like if you aren't discriminated against you'll not know how it feels and until you do you won't understand the severity of it (this is painfully obvious right now especially)
Before I finish watching: My theory is this...
The difference between Turbo and Ralph is that one wanted to be the only popular game, and would game hop if the game he resided in lost popularity. Ralph wanted acceptance from his game mates, he didn't seek to "move into" a different game nessasarily, he was just tired of being the bad guy that was unliked by his game mates.
I think Ralph didn't go Turbo because he had his support group to help him cope, and because after what Turbo did there became a stigma attached to permanently leaving your game.
Vital Spark you do know he hadn't gone to this support group until his games 30th anniversary
Vital Spark the time we see him going to Bad-Anon at the beginning of the movie was his first time there. In 30 years, he constantly declined the invitation until that day, and had to cope pretty much alone with his condition.
I'm pretty sure the reason is because their video game roles and their actual character are two different things. Ralph played the role of a villain but he wasn't such a bad guy on his own terms. Turbo was the exact opposite, he played the protagonist but was, in actuality, an egocentric douchebag.
+MetroidJunkie okay i do not understood what u said there. (if u look at my comment then... idk😂) Again pple make it simple just don't say difficult words that some pple do not know
I'm gonna put my piece before I watch the video: Ralph only wanted to be treated with respect, and he thought a medal would've been the only way (considering he's basing this off of seeing Felix being treated like a god over all those years,and Jean was the final straw to push him to do it) While Turbo only jumped games because he cared about always being on top, and being the the number one game. That's why Ralph doesn't go Turbo.
It WAS kind of messed up how the townspeople treated him like a monster even after the game was over. Like they didn't realize he was just fulfilling a role, doing a dayshift job.
Thank you completely agree.
Exactly! It's not about how they're programmed, it's all about their intent. Turbo wanted attention and didn't care about abandoning his game to get it. Ralph wanted respect from those IN his game, and planned on coming back from the beginning. Though honestly he could've just asked to help out at tappers during the night and a medal from that guy as a thanks for helping out to show that he's not what the gameplay shows.
I'd wager Tapper's game doesn't have a medal in it, he doubted a game existed where Ralph COULD win a medal. Funny how, in the end, it's not the Nicelanders respecting him that he cares about the most, but that a little girl in a sugary Mario Kart clone sees him as a hero.
MetroidJunkie I wasn't thinking a legit medal like in FIF or heroes duty, I was thinking more like vanelope's medal for Ralph. A home made one, or even just some sort of other proof of helping out and being a good person.
I think after Turbo infected Road Blasters, the games were examined by the developers. Some source code of Turbo remained and game developers realized the characters can write their own code. To prevent this in future games, the game programmers placed security measures preventing the characters from making changes to the games code. By the time Fix It Felix was introduced, all arcade games were updated to make certain the codes could not be changed unless you knew the code. Turbo hid away long enough to by his time, and entered the game Sugar Rush. By this time he had spent years deciphering the codes to make changes to the games program, becoming King Candy. And the rest is history. That's my 2 cents.
Nah. Fix it Felix was already there when that happened. You can see FiF next door to TT in the flashback where Felix explains to Calhoun what Going Turbo means. Not to mention how Ralph and Felix both recognized Turbo when he was revealed.
its possible that the programmers heard of Turbo doing what he did, and so in the future programmers made sure to give them some sort of morality and keep them from doing so, of course they didn't want to restrict their creations to their own games, but they couldn't let something like this happen again. .. maybe they even added in the "die outside of your game no respawns" thing after Turbo, and that's why he was able to survive and come into candy crush.
I doubt the programmers even considered their character becoming sentient, so the idea of them creating a "morality" because of Turbo is unlikely. I think he was just highly competitive because he was the only character you could play. Also, Turbo never 'died'. It's likely he escaped before they got unplugged and hid out in disguise at Tappers for years until a new racing game was plugged in. What surprises me is how long that arcade must have been without a racing game! It had to have been at least 10 years before Sugar Rush was brought in (that is if Turbo took out the other racing game in the late 80's). I doubt Sugar Rush is any older than Mario 64 (which came out in '97 in America).
YAY!
I always just decided Ralph is too pure and selfless to put others at risk. It what makes him being bullied so sad
Also I never expected disney to ever make a to kill a mocking bird reference
HK I know right. Boo Radley/Boo Bratley
Disneyfreak309
and dealing with “impending loneliness” and feeling “trapped”
I always really like it when references for the adults to notice/enjoy are put in the disney movies and stories for kids.
HK What reference was that?
I think that Ralph just wanted to be a good guy instead of a bad guy a guy who was emotional and had a life of loneliness he just wanted to achieve his goals Turbo on the other hand wanted to be a winner in his own game until the new game came and then was also racing game turbo was mad because he had no more attention in his life and that caused him 2 hack into the system of Sugar Rush and make Penelope a glitch he had a bad heart after that Turbo ended up making his own game and the new game go out of the arcade
Briana Shull
The lonely ghost is a reference to the recluse Boo Radley who is exiled inside his home and only comes out to help the children. He is virtually a ghost in the way the children (previously) in the town invision him. His physical description is even ghostly in the book “gray almost blind looking” eyes, “feathery” hair and “sickly white” skin.
I think Ralph never went Turbo because Ralph obviously is a really good person and it broke my heart that everyone treated poorly but they're the ones that caused him to be like that.
They treated him like an actual bad guy instead of someone simply filling the role of bad guy. He was just a performer, someone to fill in a role the game needs to be complete. Every game needs some kind of antagonistic force for the protagonist to overcome, but they treated him like crap even when the game was off. At least, at the end, they still act like they do during game hours but they actually treat him better offscreen.
MetroidJunkie I agree.
Also worth noting that Turbo was actually the protagonist of his game, yet he turned out to be a power hungry villain. That's sentience for ya, they can make choices that are different from their assigned roles.
8:21 In the "Boss Level" scene, Turbo is gone. The monster that is attacking Ralph is actually a cybug that, after to eating Turbo, has taken on his likeness.
Again, it's really quite simple (my first comment post for these is on "Why Vanellope Still Glitches"), Ralph didn't go Turbo because he just wasn't trying to, all he wanted was to prove to Felix and the Nicelanders that he could be heroic and win a medal, which he did...well, sort of. He did get a medal but the problem there is that he didn't really win it, he simply climbed up the tower in Hero's Duty and walked up to the stand where the player would usually get the medal when they ACTUALLY WON THE GAME and triggered the victory sequence, thus automatically getting the medal in the process, ergo, Ralph really stole the medal (like a true bad guy) *gasp!*. Getting back on track though, it would seem that the arcade characters may have mistakenly misinterpreted the phrase "Going Turbo" as being any character who wants to leave their game in order to achieve something better, whereas the way I interpreted the phrase as being more of a malicious nature. As Felix explained, Turbo abandoned his game Turbo Time and tried to take over Road Blasters in a fit of jealousy because the kids were no longer paying attention to him, only to crash it instead which, in turn, got both games unplugged. As we saw toward the end of the movie Turbo, or King Kandy as he was now being called, had become quite evil and psychotic, even going as far as to attempt to harm the child star of the game that he had currently taken over. Also, when Ralph fought "Turbo Bug" as we like to call him, at the end he had now christened himself "the most powerful virus in the arcade" and boasted how he could now take over any game he wanted. In short, the difference is that Ralph simply wanted to prove himself a hero in order to get more out of life, namely gaining the respect of Felix and the Nicelanders, and he greatly succeeded as well as having come to terms with who he is in his game, while Turbo/King Kandy wanted to become the center of attention again. So no, what Ralph was trying to do would not be considered "Going Turbo" (at least not the way I see it).
This also would explain why characters who escaped unplugged games never thought about going into other games as “Bonus levels” I think as the movie called them. (I understand seeing Q-Bert in another game other than his own is weird, but the movie seemed to have no real problem with it in the end of the movie and they just assumed the game updated or got redone or something like that) They felt it wasn’t right to intrude into someone else’s game and it would classify them as a Turbo
The running bit with the history competition was hilarious xD
I agree!!
It was funnier for me, because on Tuesday I just came in first at my NHD competion
Fiery Melanix nah it was more cringy than funny
I just had my first NHD, and I hated it
No, it isn't
I think the "Bad-Anon" (a pun on Alcoholics Anonymous) thing undermines _Wreck-It Ralph_ a bit. It might have made a LOT more sense if the support meeting was actually the "green room" behind the games, and all the supposed villains were really just *actors* playing their parts. This would explain why none of them would ever go Turbo: No matter how eeeevil they might seem, they never, ever get lost in character.
Ralph: Was it Turbo who wanted a piece of pie every once in a while?
Me the 1st time I watched it: Who the heck is Turbo?!
Me the 2nd time I watched it: Nah, he's been having too much *candy* to want any pie...
I think it's simpler than what you described. Turbo was an egomaniac. His only priority was himself. On the flip side Ralph often felt bad if he destroyed something he didn't intend to and actually tried to get to know and befriend the other characters in his game. He actually just gave a crap about the people around him even though he wasn't programmed too and the feeling wasn't mutual.
Sad but simple truth. Ralph has a heart, he knows going Turbo would lead to consequences, he also isn’t egotistical. Ralph decided to accept what he has to do as what he has to do.
Personally, I think Ralph technically did go turbo, just not to the extent that turbo did. He left his game while the arcade was open (causing his game to be deemed out of order and therefor putting everyone in it in jeopardy) and went over to hero's duty to get it's medal (and in the process altering the Gaming experience for the player and making her loose the game). Ralph just went back to his game before both games were shut down forever. Admittedly classifying that as "going turbo" depends on your definition of that phrase.
I don't think that's going turbo, though. He didn't seek to destroy those games or take over them, even though he almost unwittingly doomed Sugar Rush but he was willing to sacrifice his own life to save it. He just wanted to get a medal and then come right back so the Nicelanders would quit treating him like crap, he was happy in his game.
MetroidJunkie that's a very good point! Like I said it depends on your definition of "going turbo". I always took it to mean abandoning your game for another while the arcade was open
lets not forget he almost destroyed sugar rush as well with the giant inspects
Ralph
"if that little kid likes me, how bad can I be?"
-2012
Is Boo Bradley a reference to Boo Radley from To Killl A Mockingbird?
Jazlynn Edwards I know in school I have been reading that and was like :O TKAMB reference?
Kingasasin 177 same here lol
Yh
How did Turbo survive? Where was he before Sugar rush? Also how did Turbo change his code to be “king candy” as it showed when he went to get Ralph’s medal. I mean there are a lot of holes in this movie, but I love it very much.
he could have escaped to game central station last minute. not really a hole
Quantum Proton yeah he could have, but everyone didn’t know he was still alive and people would have seen him if he ran to the station.
it was during the day when everyone were in their games doing their job, remember it's when the game was early so there weren't any homeless characters
Quantum Proton oh!... but what about the electric blue guy? Wouldn’t he have caught him or something? Like isn’t he a mall cop that would keep viruses out of the station??? I mean he stopped Ralph from the fruit thing, nothing big, but he stopped him nonetheless.
He doesn't seem to stop everybody, just selected people. He claims to be doing random checks but really he always stopped Ralph, probably because he's a bad guy. Turbo is a good guy in his game, so the blue guy probably didn't bother
1:50 i guess you could say he took it to...the next level
I see what you did there😂😂
Actually, Ralph did go Turbo in that he abandoned his game to invade Here's Duty, but he was motivated by a desire to be accepted by the other characters in his game, where as Turbo had been motivated by jealousy. Ralph and Felix reconciled when Felix found out what it was like to be ostracized by someone whom he had fallen in love with and when he complained to Ralph, Ralph replied "You've just described every day of my life." All he wanted was to accepted, and when he got that, he was OK with being thrown off the building.
"going turbo" isn't like a physical change. It's just a term to describe ditching someone's game for another, like turbo did. To "go Turbo" is to repeat Turbo's actions, not physically change to look like Turbo. I know that's not what the video is about, but it's what the thumbnail makes it seem like.
They had different intentions Turbo wanted to be powerful and have all the attention Ralph just wants to be accepted by the other characters in the game
So excited for wreck it Ralph 2!!! 😍😍😍
This sequel has been in production before the emoji movie has
I am super excited and hopeful! 😁
Neighbor Neighbor yes that is worrying. But the emoji movie was made by the least talented group of people in sony animation while Wreck-It Ralph 2 is going to be made by the creators of zootopia. So it will mostly be good.
I think a reason that Ralph didn't go turbo was because of where he started. For Ralph, his status quo was always the same. A "crummy job" if you will, but it was a constant. He grew weary of it, but it was his lot in life. It took reaching a breaking point (Gene's words at the party) for him to finally try and change his station. You could say that argument was the first time he considered changing things by getting a medal. For Turbo, it's a different story. He started as the main character, the guy who won and was rewarded, the star of the show. With Road Blasters coming, his thunder was stolen. He had everything and suddenly lost everything, that's what made him more desperate, desperate enough to try and take the spotlight back with desasterous results.
Wreck it Ralph, when the movie trailer first hit the internet, I was like "Meh, just a video game movie for the sake of making a bunch of cameos." Then, I watched the movie and was floored at how awesome the movie turned out, my inner nerd squeed! I really hope that the second one is at least as good as the first one, because to this day, I am still blown away by this first one.
The ghost example doesn't demonstrate being programmed to be lonely, that's a clear logical result of being physically isolated from society.
Ralph and Turbo's behavior is driven by their programming? Because Ralph is programmed to be antagonistic but sympathetic and Turbo is programmed to be a selfish power monger?
Well then what about Bowser and M. Bison and Clyde and Diablo and the zombie? They're all necessarily programmed to be even worse than Turbo and they're a bunch of supportive nice guys who've accepted their role before Ralph, despite being older than most of them. You are massively overthinking and even more massively overstating this simple quandry.
Why didn't Ralph go Turbo? The same reason a real person might not have: Because he isn't a giant douchebag.
Well Bowser has Jr. so that may help him.
I think it's because most of them realize they're just there to fill a role, it's a job. Ralph hated that the citizens treated him like an actual monster even though he was only acting bad because that's his job. Turbo wasn't pretending to be an egomaniac, he simply is that way. I don't think his game required him to be a douchebag. It seems they have their own personalities separate from what the game programmed them to be. They have sentience, free will.
yeah i think so too. tbh, it seems like theyre programmed with things and when they are it also shapes their personalities i guess. bowser wanted to kidnap princess peach all the time was because he has kids, he wants princess peach to be their mom. zombie is also bad in his own way but he just wants brains ( but... not kinda in a bad way i guess?) all he wants is brains, just so he can "survive" or something... m. bison... i guess to change the world of it's ways. you see, these guys have... you could say ambitions. each of them unique in every way. theyre misunderstood. sort of like.......
those kids that are seen bad by other people... even though they just try to connect with other people, but they fail because they dont know how. when they try to, they get shut down... or something...
theyre seen as bad guys because the game is telling you so, but in truth they have their own hearts with feelings and emotions too....
sorry.... this is just my opinion.... but pls dont make a debate outta this....
You know what they say, everybody's the hero of their own story. This movie is about Ralph and him trying to be what's deemed to be good but, by coming to terms with his role as the villain, he becomes a true hero.
I can't speak for the other characters, but I think the pacman ghosts are just there to fill the role as antagonist. I mean, when playing Pacman, the second a ghost sees you, he doesn't chase you throughout the level till you can eat him. They follow Pacman for a while then they wander down another hallway. Plus, the game is kinda simple; collect all the pellets, don't get tagged by the ghosts. So they have no makings of a true badguy, just an antagonist.
Okay, I'm just going to come right out and say it. I LOVE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE HERE!
You have basically and unintentionally described every single reason I want Turbo to be in Wreck-It Ralph 2. He is my favourite Disney villain ever and one of the main reasons I am super hyped for that movie!!!
The REAL reason Ralph didn't go Turbo was because he was too much of a nice guy to do something as selfish as Turbo did.
Ya sure I think this could be due to programming. Imo, however, I think it has to do more so with the fact that Turbo thought he was being replaced. He couldn't handle being replaced so he took action against it. Ralph didn't have the threat of being replaced. He even acknowledges that his video game is great.
Always nice to come home to a new video from Isaac, especially a video about Wreck-It Ralph!😍💝
Another thing I was wondering was that why is Felix more considerate towards Ralph than the other nicelanders? I know he is the good guy but why does getting so much love and appreciation not make him selfish and make him feel superior to Ralph? He is always civil towards Ralph and even allows him to come in for cake during their anniversary party even though the nicelanders are vehemently opposed to this. Is it becuase he fears Ralph?

Good video! :3
Parasol Mushroom Art hey you’re a really good artist!! Just wanted to let you know I subbed, more people need to check ya out!
Could you do a full backstory on Turbo? Because villains from more violent games like Street Fighter didn't go savage and attack other games. I think it goes deeper than just being competitive. Perhaps as a guy outside the game Turbo saw himself as above everybody and made the game his entire life. Which would explain why he couldn't handle not being #1 and his attack made the other games realize that losing themselves too far in their code could have consequences.
Most of the game characters are filling a role, hence why Ralph is rightfully pissed off that the townspeople treat him as an actual monster. Turbo doesn't seem to have just been filling a role, he's an actual egomaniac.
"I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me." 💙😁👍🏼
Here's my Wreck-It Ralph question: Is Litwak aware that the game characters are actually alive? There's a couple moments that might suggest he is.
I don't know maybe Turbo tampered with the code of the game and Ralph didn't so you know i guess that's that.
Great video as always.
Shady code dealers
can you do a full history of the character dumbo? maybe cover if dumbo was an African-Asian elephant hybrid?
Sean Dewar I think he was an asian elephant, but it's just my opinion
I remember watching a video covering Dumbo being an african-asian elephant hybrid. Forgot who it's by.
Dumbo was a mutant.
ReverendSyn no a elf got laid by an elephant, boom tiny elephant with big ears
dumbo is a giraffe.
Boo Bratley? Cough cough Boo Radley?!?!
BerryPlays I caught that 😁
Glad I'm not the only one. I actually don't like the book To Kill A Mockingbird
I caught that, too. I kinda groaned at it, to be honest.
Ha! I was searching for this comment!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who caught that!
When you've spent your life being held up on a pedestal of popularity, when it's all you know, and it gets ripped away from you - you'll do whatever you can to become popular again. This lends itself to jumping games, and "going turbo"
When you've spent your life being told you're a monster, that you should be avoided or destroyed, just for being who you are, you either try to change to be accepted by those who have rejected you, or you embrace what they see you as, and live up (or down) to that reputation. This lends itself to sticking to your own game, or "Ralphing" ;)
I wonder how many feel that the latter applies to them?
I think Ralph, having witnessed the consequences of the original "going Turbo" incident knew full-well that the sort of behavior Turbo exhibited would be a huge problem for the rest of the arcade "neighborhood," so he did his best to avoid duplicating it while remaining in the defined role the fates had ordained for him. It's probably more of a common courtesy thing than any other reason, the same reason that you or I wouldn't run around our neighborhood burning everyone else's houses down with a flamethrower or something like that. It wouldn't be good for business or relationships, while being normal and well-behaved is.
My friend got me a wicked mermaid ring and a new video by Watso? AWESOME!!!! And awesome video dude. I always wondered why Ralph didn't go turbo after the way he had been treated.
I thought he did go Turbo. It's just his motives were to gain respect and friendship, not to own the show like Turbo did so he was never going to cause so much damage.
Okay so, before I watch the video, I want to say that I think the reason Ralph didn't go Turbo is because he didn't want the glory of being super popular. Ralph would've been perfectly content just being accepted and liked by the people in his game while Turbo cared more about the players liking his game the best. Ralph only left his game to be invited into that hotel, to have a spot on the cake, and to feel appreciated. Turbo was obsessed with being the best and favorite racer in the arcade.
I'm playing the Sims 4 while listening to the theory. Lol.
Neighbor Neighbor in this current game once, but quickly extinguished(same for the fire)
I literally listen to theories and podcasts while I build
Quick thought, I always wondered where Turbo was/how long between the last game he corrupted, and Sugar Rush... There had to be quite a lot of years between those two games...?
He may have just hid out in Tapper for years until a new racing game was brought in (aka Sugar Rush). Seems like the place everyone ends up in, no questions asked.
For whatever reason, i think it's because Ralph has more moral, he knows that he's the bad guy but he knew by going turbo he'd be worst the villain than he already is by abandoning his game.
Though i understand that he's tired of being mistreated, he might be afraid to disappoint the bad anons and making them resent him/ dislike him.
Things might be like that sometimes.
You want to leave and have a better life but the only thing that helps you and supports you might leave you because of it.
ralph's true core motivation and goals is:
To becom acknowledged by others, but he wants others to see his good side.
it's pretty simple why Wreck-It Ralph never went Turbo people are individuals so different situations and actions can influence them differently Ralph is your typical teddy bear with heart of gold where is Turbo is your Psychopathic neighbor who puts on a friendly facade then we'll literally stab you in the back in other words sometimes the one thing at separate a bad person from a good person is there moral compass.
wrong there, it would be their
It's an interesting twist where the protagonist of a game (Turbo) is the villain and the antagonist of a game (Wreck it Ralph) is the hero. Their personalities are separate from their in-game personalities because they're sentient beings. Most of the villains (All of the ones in Bad-Anon, seemingly) don't act like bad people, they're just fulfilling a role because, without a villain, their games wouldn't have a foil for the protagonist. As the Nicelanders find out, the villain is necessary for there to be a complete game.
EXShadowKick Are you talking about Dinkleberg of the Fairly OddParents? 'Cause that guy is the worst.
Hey can you PLEASE do a Disney prince for the first seven princes like you did for the Disney princess week was so my much fun!!! THANKS!!!
Beth Miranda are you sure about that? The Disney Princes don't really have backstories or developed characters like the princesses do if you don't count Aladdin or Peter Pan or John Smith, Etc.
I thought of it as “Ralph is the bad guy in a game where you can’t ultimate defeat him, as he only continues to wreck the building and you repair it as the player. Ergo, Ralph is indomitable. Turbo is just an avatar for the player, and so his code has to be more flexible to accommodate player choice. As such, he can give up, be defeated, lose. After a really long streak of being the best, The player will naturally get bored and seek a challenge, and this is what Turbo does; attempt to be ‘the greatest racer ever’ in every game he can, following the players who gave him that success.”
I think he didn't go turbo because we'll the movie creaters wanted to have the good and bad guy easy to distinguished,you know...
Another great video
Why don’t they have a wreck it Ralph ride
That would be awesome. Maybe there will be one when the sequel comes out.
ikr
Turbo and Ralph go under "the shadow" archetype/trope. They are characters that face similar situations, but have totally different personalities and even character design, quoting tv tropes "Ralph's adventure outside of Fix It Felix Jr.'s is motivated by an innocent need for approval. Turbo is driven by his obsession for recognition. Ralph doesn't intend to harm anyone and sneaks into a videogame simply to win a medal, whereas Turbo is responsible for the destruction of his home world, another nearby video game, and the reprogramming and enslavement of the Sugar Rush world. Turbo's pursuit of respect and acknowledgement mirrors Ralph's, but he is shown as willing to destroy anything that opposes him to get it."
I love this kind of relationships when it comes to protagonist/antagonist
Ralph didn’t go turbo because he never wanted to abandon his game. Just to prove he deserved respect just like all the other nicelanders.
I see Wotso Videos, I click.
Melody Campbell Im pretty sure how quickly I click on wotso videos will give me arthritis some day.
Isaac, you are such a lovely person. Thanks for your videos!!!😀
I freakin' love the moment where we see Bowser and Eggman...AND SONIC!
I always just thought it was cause turbo was programmed to be a main character/good guy but Ralph was made to be the villain and he didn’t long for the spotlight, also the fact that Ralph made friends along his way to keep him calm and level headed is what turbo lacked and no one helped him at all
I never thought of that but I’m glad Ralph didn’t go terbo because if he did that would be really bad!
YASS I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS THEORY
Ralph wanted recognition from the characters in his game.
Not from other in other games.
But Ralph wasn't replace with a game and/or character that was better than him at what he did.
This kept him in a different mindset then Turbo.
Turbo didn’t want to become irrelevant, so he did anything he could do to stay “alive” that includes invading another game, destroying two games, trying to kill a princess, took over a game, became the villain of the arcade, AND tried to take over the entire arcade
Ralph, however, just wanted to have the nicelanders to respect him and see that he isn’t truly a “bad guy,” he never wanted fame or popularity unlike Turbo
Turbo didn’t care if his game got ruined, he was trying to stay popular, that’s why he did those acts
Ralph was kind at heart, even if the nicelanders found him evil, he didn’t want them, Felix, and their game to die
I like your videos I love Disney movies
Nice video! I love your theories.
"Is it Turbo to want a friend? Or a medal? Or a piece of pie once in a while? Is it Turbo to want more out of life?"
38 seconds in, so I'm going to say this before I watch the rest: I don't think Ralph was the villain. He was living there all happy and fine until they built those apartments there. He's just trying to get his home back. That's all he ever wanted. And at the end of the day, he really doesn't want to wreck it, that's just what he's made to do. He really just wants to live there with them as equals. He just wants his home back. He's not a villain at all. He has no reason to go turbo because he just wants his home in *his* game.
Do Si and Am from Lady and the Tramp
"fun topics for fun people" says while doing a cool dance like the last visit he done. 😹😹😹
Okay let's start from the fact that Ralph in an awesome, kind hearted guy ❤
Turbo was an egomaniac at heart; Ralph was just a huge kid who didn't know how strong he was -
OMG love it!!
Yesss he made a wreck it Ralph video 😁
He did go half way doing a turbo, ralf came into a game took a medal then walked into candy rush.
Dude they even said that he was doing a turbo
It’s so exciting to see Wreck-it Ralph based theories! It’s my favorite movie and I don’t see a lot of videos on it compared to other Disney movies. Thank you so much for making these!
Isaaaaac mah man, mah man man how about the Ludwig Von Drake's full story? :3
This'll be cool :D
Ralph only wanted to be liked by the others IN his game, whereas Turbo wanted to be the most popular racing game with the players. It pretty much boils down to WHERE and HOW each one wanted their form attention. Ralph didn't want to change his role in the game, he just wanted to be treated better by and be friends with those IN the game with him.
This just makes the movie so much better
I love your videos and I'm a big fan of your videos
You answered the question for me thanks
that was an interesting theory, to say the least. In a nutshell, he never went rogue/"Turbo" because he wasn't programmed to be a narcissist like Turbo was, and on the contrary, turned out to be fairly sensitive. He was just "bad" in that his efforts to seek justice, as programmed, meant destroying the Nicelanders' building.
Ralph wanted acception, Turbo wanted reverence.
Turbo seems like he was programmed to be a narcissist
It would be to hard for Ralph to take over another game and he new he just needed a medal to change things and he did not want to put felix and the people in the apartments out of a game with nothing
I think another reason is that Turbo had fame and everything until the new game came out, but Ralph never had anything like that which makes him less vengeful
Every character in every game have their own role play & in the movie they have their own personalities too, what do i see is Turbo make a decision to do crazy things but Ralph didn't ... as simple as that
