History Headscratchers / WreckItRalphTurbo

** It may be that this is just a case of bad placement. The big issue is that RoadBlasters was set up straight across from Turbo Time, so Turbo could clearly see the game that was "stealing his thunder." Had RoadBlasters been set up in another part of the Arcade, out of Turbo's view, the whole "Going Turbo" incident might not have happened.

*** In that case, Vanellope becomes a lot less sympathetic. If she was still trying to race even after being told that it could get the game shut down, then she's about as selfish as Turbo was when he left his game.
*** For me King Candy is lying (or just being [[MetaphoricallyTrue metaphorically truthful]] at best).
*** He ''is'' lying. He manipulates Ralph into preventing her racing, because if Vanellope races and thereby passes the finish line, the game will reset and reveal him for what he really is. Additionally, the race he prevents at that point would never have been seen by players; it was strictly internal to decide tomorrow's roster. Vanellope's only a glitch because he manipulated things to be that way. Had she raced and reset things, she'd have been "normal" to the players subsequently, meaning that the game wouldn't be unplugged as he asserts (and even if it was, she'd be able to leave).
** When Candy went into the factory he was surprised that Vanellope and Ralph were working together, and at that point he wasn't thinking clearly. He didn't come up with the plan of just talking to Ralph until he lost the chase with them.

## He's been in charge of Sugar Rush for as many as 15 years by the time Ralph goes there. There'd be no reason for anyone within the game to bring it up now.

*** The theory about the armor doesn't really hold up, though. When we see the characters on the screens of Tapper's and PacMan, they all fit in to the game aesthetic.

** Turbo was probably just being cruel and gloating about the unpleasant head injury Vanellope was about to receive. (Or else he, being a racer who possibly ''would'' die if killed in Sugar Rush, wasn't thinking about the respawn feature.) In Vanellope's case, she not only wants to win but probably knows that she's under a time crunch and can't afford to waste time respawning. As it is, the finish line gets destroyed even with the glitch-shortcut.

** The only problem with the theory of him hiding out in GCS is that RoadBlasters (a real game) was released in 1987, so the incident with Turbo crashing both games must have happened sometime shortly after that. Sugar Rush, on the other hand, didn't come to the arcade until 1997. So... how could Turbo have hidden out in GCS for ''ten years'' without anyone knowing it? Felix and Ralph obviously weren't aware that he was still alive (when Felix relates the story to Calhoun, he is obviously under the impression that Turbo didn't survive)- and since Turbo was so infamous, you'd think that gossip would travel quickly that he was seen around GCS. Did Ralph and Felix simply never go to GCS or talk to anyone else in the arcade ''at all'' during those ten years? That seems unlikely. I find it more believable that he was squatting in another game world during that time.

* I'm not sure I understand King Candy's "You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses" joke when he's confronting Ralph about Vanellope. Yes, it was a pretty funny joke, but did anyone else think that it was the slightest bit random and out of place? Most of the jokes in this movie are either poking fun at a certain character, environment, or just some video game meme in general. But King Candy is never seen wearing glasses, [[spoiler: nor is Turbo]], so the joke doesn't seem to pertain to him on a personal level; it also doesn't have anything to do with candy or Sugar Rush as a whole; and, correct me if I'm wrong, but the root of the joke isn't exactly tied to some sort of video game, is it?
** You are thinking way too hard about this. It's a one-off gag. Not every gag has to be personally significant or completely match the themes of a story.

* How did Turbo become King Candy? did he take over an npc? or did Vanellope let him into the source code originally?
