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)
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.
Used with Midway's, now Warner Bros Interactive's*, permission.
- Beat Still, My Heart: his trademark Finishing Move is kept intact in the film. Kano in a Disney movie, ladies and gentlemen.
- And Show It to You: again, this is Kano.
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: as mentioned above, he freaking rips Zombie's heart out. Sure, the latter doesn't need it because he's a zombie, but still.
- Additionally, Kano's the one mentioning that "you can't mess with the program", essentially meaning "I'm programmed to do this". Maybe he doesn't necessarily enjoy what he does, but if he did to Zombie what he did because he's just used to it that much, then we know who has got the biggest body count in the movie*.
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!

Thanks!
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:
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:
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.]

I'm from Piedmont. No relation with Piedmon, mind you!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.

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'm like the pimpmaster hustledaddy of all snippy bookshrews" -Dave StriderI 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?
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.

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.

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