Wreck It Ralph: Ralph Breaks The Internet


Ralph Breaks The Internet is the sequel to Wreck It Ralph which i didn't know i needed. The film starts of six years after the first film with Vanellope and Ralph living their daily lives at the arcade with the only different thing now is the fact that Vanellope is tired of her own game. She wants to get a new exciting experience and so she’s basically depressed about how repetitive her life is which is basically the struggle of every teenager and yes, she’s pretty much a teenager even though she’s stuck in the age of a child.

When Ralph tries to make Vanellope’s game more exciting by creating a driving course,this ultimately leads to the gamer breaking the steering wheel when she can’t control her car due to Vanellnope driving of the controlled course to go to the one Ralph created. Without Cree 1stthe steering wheel, her game gets abandoned and without a game, she has no purpose so Ralph and Vanellope must travel to the internet to get it from E-bay.

With such a simplistic internet based plot, you’d expect the film to be like “The Emoji” movie which was a comedy film that solely focused on forcing corporate advertisement down our throats. As much as I liked the emoji movie,it was basically a really long advertisement for giant tech companies from start to finish. Ralph Breaks The Internet on the other hand is so much more, for an animated film, I was surprised at how in depth they went with their analysis of the internet. They covered cyber bullying in such a simple yet very thoughtful  manner through a powerful scene towards the climax of the film. They were other things like reflecting on virus, search engines,online trivia and ads in such a clever way that fits perfectly into our real life internet.
 
  Ralph Breaks The Internet does something very many sequels don’t and that is, surpass the first film. I think its very bold for filmmakers to challenge the “happily ever after” ending and go on a quest to create new stories. Animated films like Toy Story 2 and 3 perfectly did this and hopefully the fourth film will continue the tradition of creating new stories even after having perfect endings. Why I love this film is because, it ends on a sour sweet note. I just really enjoy films that dare to defy their target audience expectations by surprising them and making them have conversations about the film for months and even years
I loved Gal Gadot and Taraji P.Henson in this film, they play Shank and YESSS respectively. Shank is a badass dirt racer gaming character who works with her crew to challenge gamers who play her game "Slaughter Race" in order to make them better players and YESSS is pretty much the virtual manager of everything that trends on a fictional streaming giant, "buzzztube". 

Shank and YESSS are directly tied to Ralph and Vanellope as Shank inspires and challenges Vanellope while YESSS helps Ralph make money fir a new steering wheel. Also, Shank looks almost identical to Gal even has the badass Wonder Woman stare and is definitely inspired by Gal's fast and furious character.

  I honestly do not think this is a spoiler because they were in the trailer so I’ll talk about it but,I feel like I might give certain plot topics that might be seen as “spoiler-ish”. I think besides every scene with Gal Gadot’s “Shank”, my favorite scene has to be the whole visit to virtual "Oh My Disney". It was incredibly funny from start to finish from the hilarious Question and Answer with Groot(yes,you heard me) to Vanellope meeting the disney princess and a joke about Merida, you could easily tell that the writers of this film had a blast doing it because the film is genuinely funny and smart. It could have been another Emoji Movie but instead, it even surpasses Wreck It Ralph which was pretty much a perfect film.

  All in all, Ralph Breaks The Internet is a great film filled with lessons about friendship, comedy,great analysis of the web,great cameos and incredibly credits scene that trolls deleted scenes in films these days. My only real gripe with the film was the fact that original characters from the first film besides Ralph and Vanellope had little role to play. If you liked the first film,you’ll love this one even more.

Euphoria: Back With A Bang!

  After taking the world by storm in 2019, critically acclaimed HBO phenomenon Euphoria returns with its second season and from the looks of the premiere episode, it’s going to make its debut season look like child’s play.  Please note, there might be mild spoilers ahead The first episode of Euphoria’s sophomore season starts off like previous episodes, with an opening containing background info on a specific character and this time around, it’s none other than super chill fan favorite Fez. We get to find out about how his childhood was, how his surrogate little brother Ashtray came about and why he does what he does. As someone who already loved Fez before this, I have to say having more insight on his background really adds more depth to his character.  After our flashback opening the story moves to the new year which is after the Rue euphoria special which took place in Christmas where she went to a diner with Ali to talk about her life and issues with substance abuse....

Samurai Jack's Finale Review!

If you grew up watching jack try to defeat aku and you got sad cause you never got a conclusion well the new season given to you by adult swim got you covered...it has 10 episodes and most weren't the best but they all had top notch voice acting and animation. The finale episode picks up were episode 9 left off with Aku capturing our awesome samurai and Ashi still in control of Aku.It's not Aku unless he gloats so in typical fashion Aku streamed a live video of samurai Jack chained and about to be killed...it was funny because he used the montage of the original show, which was a nice nod.All those who jack has helped since season 1 watched as he was tortured and they all joined together to attack Aku's headquarters... They all fired at Aku but with him being all powerful he wasn't affected....While all this was happening my guy Jack was trying to bring his babe back to the light side so he can slide into her DM😂😂😂...am just kidding he just wanted her to su...

HATING ON AD ASTRA

Ad Astra is a space movie. It tries to depict what could be the future advancement of humanity and technology. It is a James Gray movie led by Brad Pitt that does not deserve to be seen more than twice. The second watch being a stretch. In all my life, I don't remember taking three days to finish a movie. I saw Justice League, End Game, The Godfather I and II, etc in one sitting, but not Ad Astra. While some might argue that the pace is perfect, I counter, asking, "To what end?"  Ad Astra is a space movie revolving around Roy McBride and unresolved daddy issues that somehow eats badly into his life. Notwithstanding, he's required to get to Neptune and stop a surge that could end human life. Brad Pitt delivers a stellar performance on what cold feels and sounds like with the material he's provided. I will now begin my hate. The music composition is one of the worst space movie compositions as it lacks originality and observable niche. It's a strivin...

Sex Education

    Sex Education is Netflix's latest addition to their list of unique top notch quality shows. Sex Education is a relevant coming of age show that revolves around teenage sexuality and it's complexities. I feel like most movies or shows that try to tackle subject matter like this end up focusing on glorious sex rather than the very common awkwardness that leads up to it. Sex Education is very raw and authentic, I say this because I relate to it based on the fact that I am a pervert and also a pubescent man-baby.   Sixteen Year Old Otis is an awkward teen living with his mother who happens to be a sex therapist.  Otis's best friend Eric is an openly gay boy in school and he's extremely funny and their friendship is true and strong. When The Headmaster's son who's known for being a big prick both literally and figuratively takes sexual enhancement drugs in order to be able to have great pleasure but he actually takes too much and ends up having an er...
