Yeah, good idea, attack the messenger when you can't attack the message. I criticized the movie you liked. How edgy. Clearly this is a sign of a rebellious and ultimately childish phase of puberty on my part.
In the film, Ralph fulfills the role people demand of him, and then they still hate him because that's his role in society. And when he tries to change that, the message is that he was wrong to do so. And at the end they "accept" him but hey, gotta throw you off the roof now! That's how society works! And I'm like 99% sure that's not the message that the creators intended, or at least hope so, but that's what the message is. It's not even subtext. It's just text.
I was being cheeky about the genocidal dictator stuff, but I didn't like Vanellope either. She sort of occupies the same role as Ralph, being ostracized for being different. And she mostly acts like a jerk and eventually people accept her for dumb magical plot reasons instead of accepting her for who she is. And Ralph mostly wasn't a jerk and goes back to his shitty life where he's occasionally allowed to briefly glimpse the chosen one who broke through the glass ceiling while people are throwing him off roofs. What the fuck, movie? What is the moral even supposed to be anymore? If people are bigoted towards you, you'll eventually be accepted if you act like an asshole and also involve a wizard in the proceedings? Oh, and her putdowns were weak. It's like the writers decided that since she was a small child, they didn't have to try. Lazy writing! Always a sign of quality!
When I think about Wreck-It Ralph, I just feel a thousand years older. It's a harrowing, depressing experience. It has a twisted moral that's so impenetrable it's impossible to even criticize it properly, and everyone is a racist or an asshole, but at the end they mostly learn to disguise their awfulness under several protective layers of irony. Like Vanellope, who I now remember didn't actually tell people she'd have them imprisoned. She told them she'd have them executed. But don't worry, it was a joke! Your monarch, who has power of life and death over you, joked about your murder! Judas Priest.
