I agree. It seems shallow and selfish.

When you put it like that the second movie almost comes off as a diss to the first one.

I liked her going to the newer racing game. And like was said by another poster, all the other characters in Sugar Rush hated her. My main complaint and it's a minor one, how did Ralph get money from his videos? It would have to have actually gone to a person on the outside. Maybe he somehow made it go to the guy who owned the arcade. If that's the case, he now has over $3,000 he didn't even earn. Cool for him.

I was more upset about Ralph unleashing the virus in Slaughter Race. That wasn't a simple mistake. That's something that Turbo would do.

I'm actually okay with Vanelope's character arc. Because yes, when you live in a small world such as school or a small town, then acceptance in that small world seems like everything. But once you get a glimpse of the world outside that small world, you begin to realize that your original small world isn't everything, and that while it's great to be doing well there, maybe you'd do better somewhere else. A lot of real people go through the same feelings, including me.

No, if I'm disappointed in the movie, it's because it wasn't funnier.

I can understand her wanting something more out of life, the freedom the other game had. I was also okay with her abandoning the people of her game for another game, they never liked her. I wasn’t okay with how she decided to do that without talking to Ralph and it was like a slap in the face and ungrateful after all he was doing to try to get her game back running.

Ever since the time that Sugar Rush was plugged in, it was all Vanellope ever knew. It was her whole world. I don't know if she ever left the game to go to Game Central Station like Ralph did, but maybe she could've and she did, but that was until Turbo hijacked Sugar Rush, took Vanellope's place as the main character, and the glitch meant she couldn't even leave the game. Turbo made the other characters despise her, her memories of outside the game faded, and she was forbidden to race. She was in exile within her own game, basically, most likely for years, our time.

Then along comes the events of the first Wreck-It Ralph movie, and all of a sudden, Vanellope is restored to full working order (with the glitch as a feature) and she is able to race again. She does so and enjoys it, but then discovers the massively wide Internet when her game is threatened, and she comes across a different, edgier racing game. With her newly-restored freedom of visiting and playing this new game (as well as any others), is it surprising that she may choose to migrate from one game to another? Besides, with her glitch power, she was most likely winning almost all races in Sugar Rush, so it would get boring.

As for the "going Turbo" aspect, the first movie painted it as the biggest taboo in videogaming and justified it because the main villain did it, but technically, with game crossovers happening in modern gaming all the time, maybe "going Turbo" is the new norm?
