I think I preferred the fanmade Sugar Rush characters to that but I admit such .gifs are a bit funny.

Ha, those Turbos are hilarious. That gray skin freaks me out so much though. O.o

Hm, I do think Felix would feel a greater responsibility to his job, and wait until closing time to find Ralph. It probably did take Ralph the whole day to climb the tower, since there are probably many dangers getting up there. A giant spiky black tower is a whole different thing from a squat little apartment building, after all.

Sorry if I haven't been too active today, I'll try to write the Kano entry before I go to bed.

Anyway, somebody needs to add this to the YMMV page for the movie, if only for how flat-out stupid it is.

Really. I don't have anything against Rihanna, but then again, I'm not a fan of Skrillex either, and in fact I really dislike that kind of "un-melodic" music that he does; that won't keep me from enjoying the heck outta this movie.

Changing the subject:

This is the Kano entry I'm about to add to the Wreck-It Ralph character sheet. Feel free to contribute if you notice something wrong with it.

"Cyborg" (actually Kano)

"You can't mess with the program, Ralph."

This is a tricky one to describe. Simply put, the so-called "Cyborg" is essentially Kano from the gory, M-rated and not-at-all-Disney-like Mortal Kombat franchise. However, in the movie this Bad-Anon attendant is referred to as "Cyborg" for some reason. Most likely, this choice is supposed to avoid any close association between the Disney movie where Kano appears in and the latter's source material; going by this theory, we might say that "Cyborg" is actually a Disney-verse version of Kano. An authorized Captain Ersatz, if you will.

In fact, there's been some speculation about the character's identity when scans of a book adaptation of the movie surfaced online, given the presence of Cyborg among the Bad-Anon attendants despite said book only featuring Disney's own characters. Then the movie came out, and the fact that the writers had the balls to work into the movie what made the character so infamous in the first place confirmed that Cyborg, after all, was indeed supposed to be Kano all along. We're talking about Kano's Fatality, where he rips out someone's heart (and then some). No, really.

The only thing I didn't like about the movie was how nobody wore hats except Felix. That was unacceptable, and it's almost as though this movie is endorsing hatlessness.

I also didn't like how Vanellope disbanded the monarchy and made a constitutional democracy. Because there's absolutely nothing better than democracy, and democracy is objectively better than monarchy, and a system of government where nobody wears hats is so much better than a system of government where the supreme ruler is identified by his amazingly sparkly jeweled awesome hat.

Then again, Disney hates hats, so yeah. Nobody wears hats in Disney movies.

Other than that, it was good; although the movie could have been twice as long and I wouldn't have minded in the slightest.

I am truly in awe of Alex Sora 89's amazing effort on the characters page. It's awesome!

[up][up] Thanks! smile I'm just glad I managed to find official artwork (the ones with the names in the 8-bit font) for every character. It amazed me that the Original Generation has such promotional art, but the fact the cameos do so as well completely blew my mind. In fact, I'm still gushing at the pic I've found for Sonic. *gush* *gush* *gush*

Now for the bad news: I'm going to sleep. I'll do Cyril tomorrow, but it will be a lot shorter as the introduction I'm planning to write is something along the lines of "same as Kano" in terms of copyrights and such*

.

The next should be the Bartender, and then the cameos' list will go on as more info surfaces online. When I'm done with the cameos, I'll add the last two images needed (Moppet Girl and Litwak), then add the context for the *NYAAAAAAARGH* commented out tropes and the character sheet's overhaul will be complete. This might take days as it might take weeks or months. We'll see what we can do.

See you nice folks tomorrow! :-)

[EDIT: [up] What, are you a Team Fortress 2 fan? Although now that I think of it, yeah, there's very few hats in Disney movies.]

[EDIT II: [up] Oh, thank you for your awe. It's nothing that special, though. Ouch, now I feel sorry for the (mild) Take That! above this sentence. It's just that hats seemed that much of a big deal to you, I couldn't not crack a joke at that.]

No, ATC just likes hats.

Though, that leads to the wild mass guess that ATC is, in fact, Robin Walker.

The racers wore their racing helmets. King Candy had the crown. Peter Pepper had his touffe. One of the Nicelanders wore a sea captain's hat. The donuts guards also wore hats! There were TONS of hats!

King Candy had a crown?

How'd I miss that?

Oh yeah, racing helmets are technically hats, and by technically, I mean actually.

Felix has a pretty sweet cap on, too.

Wasn't someone asking for a Pyro with a Ghastly Gibus with a sign that says "Will idle 4 hats" in Wreck-It Ralph 2?

Also, you know what's fun? Coming up with alternate names for Ralph, or even names in the style of Ralph and Felix's, like Save-It Stephanie or Destroy-It Dan.

I just came up with a terrible WMG about Hero's Duty:

The final boss of the game is actually a Cy-bug-ified Sergeant Calhoun. In a cutscene she gets eaten and transformed, which would have been foreshadowed by her fiance's fate.

The Calhoun we know isn't aware of this yet, since her game's only been plugged in a week. When somebody does get to the final level of Hero's Duty, though,it will not be a good day for her.

Pretend there's something clever written here.

No you're right, all the best cameos were of those in hats. Let's see, there was also Paperboy, and Vega Bison, and the Hero's Duty Generals, and, uh... that one Nicelander who was in a navy outfit or something?

Oh yeah, racing helmets are technically hats, and by technically, I mean actually.
Well they have both the helmets and other kinds of hats they wear when not racing. Though strangely, in the teaser, we saw the racers racing in their regular hats, and Sgt. Calhoun appeared before the player bare-headed too, which made me wonder if some helmet safety person raised a fuss and got some new headgear put in there at the last minute. NO VANELLOPE YOUR HOOD DOES NOT COUNT AS A HELMET

I'm still calling Mister Incredible "Break-It Bob".

If I ever get around to drawing this Beavis and Butt-head parody I imagined, I'm thinking of calling it "Schweevis and Wreck-head".

Eventually leading to her sharing this deep dark secret with Bad-Anon, with only Ralph knowing exactly what it entails and looking completely horrified at the thought... And then Ralph being told not to tell Felix.

And then all the awesomely cute-dorable things happened and romance would happen.

And it would be cute.

Vanellope would totally ruin the moment, though.

[up] The horrifying thing about the theory is that, given the Cy-Bugs are supposed to be The Virus according to the game's plot, having the closest non-player character to the player character get infected, which would be Sgt. Calhoun, would make sense in video game logic.
