I like it, but I do think Vanellope's story arc was handled a lot better than Ralph's. Ralph started and ended more-or-less the same; I don't think there were ever really problems with his attitude, just those of the characters around him. I don't think his game's citizens ever had to actually confront their bigotry, and even Felix had just the one line with Ralph about being hated every day and BAM! Suddenly their best buddies.

Ultimately, I think my favorite part was the decision to have a bespectacled girl as the one to start up Hero's Duty. I was pleasantly surprised by that.

I almost agree, but I think V's story arc helped Ralph to gain some self acceptance, even if he's not flaunting it at the end.

I do agree that that one line in the Fungeon was a weak bridge.

I almost agree, but I think V's story arc helped Ralph to gain some self acceptance, even if he's not flaunting it at the end.

And I agree with that too, but it was kind of like self-accepting of what? That he's a villain of a game in which the majority of his residents hate him? That he's forced to sleep in the dump alone every night while everyone parties and has fun? The only reason the end was happy was, not because he finally accepted himself, but that the others around him started to accept him too.

It's like the bullying campaigns that focus all on the victim learning to feel better about themselves, while ignoring the actual problem - i.e. the bullies.

Yeah, I didn't like Felix, and that moment of...whatever it was didn't help.

Agreeing with below, though; I think Ralph's interaction with Vanellope was pretty good for his character development. It just wasn't shown particularly well by the end.

Ralph seems more of a decoy protagonist to me. I guess that's why the movie's called Sugar Rush in Japan, since most of the action happened in Vanellope's game.
