And... this movie is not having me very hyped at all. It's an Internet movie - it'll be much harder to pull off than a video game movie, as the Internet ages fast - any jokes would likely be dated already by its November 21st release date.

To me, it feels as if they're taking what was special about the first movie and, well... wrecking it. Not looking forward to The Emoji Movie 2 Wreck-it Ralph 2 by any means.

Any of you guys have any thoughts on it?

I don't like it when writer talk about Internet in their story. It just too big to be cover as whole, too complicate to be fully describe and it hard to even talk about Internet without censor noise every 2 seconds.

The result are 1h30m promotion for different Internet media brands, mocking at piracy and some "how do you do, fellow kid" joke to make kid laugh. 50$ that Apple and Google will make an appearance more than once in the movie.

They'll probably redo the whole "things change and we should be accepting of things that are different" theme from the first movie, which is normal for sequels.

The reason the first movie did so well was because it avoided cringe by avoiding anything that could be dated. It played on video game tropes, rather than anything specific, to avoid being dated, so I expect they'll play off internet tropes this time around. Here's hoping they give the same level of attention to the sequel.

Maybe they'll make villains out of EA or Activision (without actually using their name). That'd probably work.

I could see them playing off of mobile apps and Ralph/Vanellope being horrified at the direction games have gone, at the very least

Seeing how they are both arcade game characters, and arcade games were literally designed to syphon money from people, they would take one look at microtransactions and bow to their new lord and master.

Meh.

I understand not wanting to give away too much of the plot but this doesn't show any indication of having any plot at all.

Also it's meh.

Ralph should visit some porn sites.

Rumor has it they're looking for a replacement part for Sugar Rush.
Also I'm a fan of how they dated the movie by using the old "bowling ball" Power Mac G3 lol
Considering the brands in the movie Internet, and the time frame of the original, it's just a really old computer.

Oh man, another movie taking advantage of the advertising on movies loophole.

I hope it's not a cringe fest.
The first one was fine, in spite of having a ton of product placement. I'm confident that as long as the same team handles it this time around, it'll be at least entertaining, if not as memorable as the first one

Given the choice of games in it, it was less product placement and less cool retro references. This one, though...
