For the longest time, I argued about the ending of “Ralph Breaks the Internet”: Vanellope deciding to stay in “Slaughter Race”, and people pointed out that she was “going Turbo”, a forbidden act mentioned in the first movie. Mostly I didn’t like hearing a happy ending get torn apart by logic. I pointed out that technically, she didn’t “go Turbo” because when Turbo took over Sugar Rush and turned Vanellope into a glitch for 15 years (assuming he attacked in 1997, the game’s release year), the other characters assumed she wasn’t important or even needed, unlike Ralph, who was literally the conflict that the player had to fight against in “Fix-It Felix Jr.”, without him the players thought the game was broken because there was no gameplay (not sure that made sense), although the fact that no one besides Ralph questioned the “new racer” on the side of the cabinet does raise some questions. I also pointed out that the game’s unique mechanic of “new racers daily” would mean that Vanellope might not show up, and finally the lack of Vanellope being playable would mean they would have to choose another character to race as, because Vanellope’s glitching power is basically the “Funky Mode” (from the Switch version of “Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze”) and too beginner-friendly, so they’d have to pick a non-OP version.
HOWEVER, while I was in the shower, I suddenly realized one important factor and perhaps the true reason people said she “went Turbo”: she’s the RULER of Sugar Rush. Or technically, she made herself president, although even though 6 years passed both IRL and in-universe we never saw anyone running things in the kingdom, especially since the “president” thing was never brought up in the sequel. But the “president” thing probably made them more self-reliant? IDK, unless Disney announces a third movie to address Vanellope’s disappearance from the game, I just wanna close the movie on a happy note and not think too hard (like the lunkhead who wrote a fic assuming that Vanellope still couldn’t leave the game because she kept her glitching, despite one of the last scenes showing her attending Felix and Calhoun’s wedding at the same chapel that we saw in Calhoun’s “programmed backstory”).
For the other arguments regarding the endings of “Toy Story 4” and “Frozen 2” (which both featured main characters leaving and ending the status quo…well, I’ll explain those another time, I’m out of steam from typing that super-long post.
