Also the whole deal with "bad guys" in 1 is clearly more being a bad guy in the universe of the game, hence the main theme of Ralph being forced to fulfill a role he doesn't get any recognition for.

Zangief is cool because if you beat the original SF2 with him the ending cutscene is him dancing with Gorbachev

It would have been cooler if Fix-It Felix Jr. got like a modern sequel or a reboot and then you had to deal with modern gaming. Instead of the power strip, you could get to the different games from the hard drive of the console.

Wanna see Ralph open a lootbox.

seriously, this was what I was picturing for a Wreck-It-Ralph and Internet: taking on Steam-alikes, and perhaps some jabs at companies that just dump their back catalogue on distribution services without attempting to actually making them playable, and the lootboxes

Honestly it's not even the princesses or Disney jerking off to how cool they are that bothers me, but all the name-dropping of companies like Google, Amazon etc. It really does feel like a giant advertisement. The joke about the princesses was fun but I really dont want to watch something so corporate-driven. I have to endure enough of that stuff in my everyday life.

It's way, way better than that. One of the most thematically sound animated films in the last 10 years and super relevant.

Same...

The first movie used nostalgia as a backdrop to establish its characters as "legit video game characters" despite being new creations. Its was cute and had some nice touches, especially Zangief and the gags at Root Beer Tapper's Bar. It was purely backdrop for telling the story and worked.

This feels like the Emoji movie. Do you recognize this brand cause we do (or we own it)? It may be a bad first trailer cause I cannot help but wonder what the conflict is? Searching for a broken part feels like an excuse to just shove things/references in our face and that sucks.

That said, the Disney Princess part is funny to me. For all the fan-wankery that is going on, Cinderella smashing her shoe to a broken shard to attack an intruder is inspired.

So there's currently a debate among my friends about what makes someone a Disney princess.

Some think Mulan's in the line-up just because she's marketable to little girls. Some think because she's Asian and they have a quota to fill.

Some think the entire line has nothing to do with princesses and actually just female leads. Some are calming it's all about being marketable thus Anna and Elsa.

So is there an official reason or just because Disney feels like it?
Not really a thoughtful response, but this post reminded me of this tweet I saw.

https://twitter.com/RicksWriting/status/1002364998759403520

More thoughtfully, yeah, at some point it seems like it became just female leads. For instance, Pocahontas may be the daughter of a chieftan, but calling her a princess based on that seems a bit of a stretch.

Also, Alice and Mulan are considered Princesses despite not being royalty in any sense. Like you said, it's basically become a catch-all term for female lead and shouldn't really be taken literally.

I don’t think Alice is considered a princess. She is in Kingdom Hearts but I don’t think she’s an official one outside that
