All power strips have surge protectors because... That's what they are. Surge protector is a more technical way to refer to what most would call a power strip.
Yeah was gonna say, Surge Protector is just the avatar of the power strip. I can't remember how it was worded in official material, but he's just part of the device and is made of pure electricity, so we even see him turn into a spark and zap away when he needs to move quickly. He'd be there for the same reason that characters just automatically populate the games when they're plugged in.
I think I got a more simple explanation for the whole King Candy replacing Vanaloppe thing In certain arcade games, there are timed unlockables. Which basically mean that a character will be unlocked on a specific day, and you'd be able to play as them when the day comes. Maybe he just assumed King Candy was a timed character and he replaced Vanaloppe for some reason, he probably didn't think much of it
Even more likely considering the movie itself confirms Sugar Rush is a game with a random roster that changes every day, it's a major plot point. Completely reasonable to see a character for the first time and not think much of it
that’s basically what the race shown in the movie was about. the roster shuffles every night, and the in-universe explanation is that they race to see who qualifies
I think he just uses a back up generator wonders, like gonna be like a lightning storm or something that can turn off his power or does automatically just turn on the power outage
With the power outage thing - there's an official Disney storybook (called Disney Bedtime Favorites) with a Wreck-It Ralph story that's about the power going out in the arcade. All of the characters have to leave their games and congregate in Game Central Station to wait it out, but they aren't in any danger as long as they do that. I think if they're unplugged it puts them in an unconscious state. The fear of being unplugged would be either (maybe?) losing memories if they are plugged back in, or just the thought of never being plugged in again (and therefore effectively dead).
I think the fact that Mr Litwack is willing to unplug Sugar Rush in the sequel proves that the sequel isn’t cannon. What? Did you think I was gonna say that it proves that this theory wrong? No way! I’m gonna take any opportunity I can to say that Wreck It Ralph 2 isn’t cannon!
I was in a mall when the mall almost close, i saw the workers in the arcade close all electricity including the arcades and still works fine other days later 😂
Thank you for making me care about Mr. Litwak so much! I think I have a new favorite minor, possibly just main favorite WIR character in general. And if someone asks me why I will gladly send them this video! ❤❤❤
Also I saw another video theory that states that King Candy was a fully separate character from Turbo in the game. It would explain why Mr. Litwak doesn’t bat a eye towards King Candy and just assumed one of his customers unlocked him as a secret character similar to those “How to unlock Luigi in Super Mario 64” type videos. I don’t remember the exact channel I watched it from but maybe you should look into that.
This is one of my favorite movies, your theory is good but one thing I noticed, how does he know that the characters are sentient in the first place, how did he find out abt it? Also, if vanelope is a glitch, why didn’t he get a new machine of the same game, I mean, yes he knows that she’s sentient, but that would mean everyone would pick vanolpe also, the power theory is weird because can’t he just turn off the machines? I feel like instead of just unplugging it, they could turn it off, and if that’s not possible… HOW MUCH MONEY DOES THIS GUY HAVE!? How can he afford all of this???
I mean there's also the possibility that king candy was an existing character in suggestion that's why mr litwak didn't bat an eye at him being a playable character
i feel that unplugging = death was a blackmail tactic by king candy to get ralph to help him. my theory is that the game might factory reset if power is lost for a long while so king candy might get erased or turbo would need to re frick up the code
Regarding the question about power outages- Maybe Mr. Litwak uses a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)? It seems highly unlikely that his Arcade has been running with 100% uptime for over 30 years...
I wanna straight up know what would happen if in the next movie they travelled to other things such as console games or console games travelling to their world. Such as Kratos, Doom guy, or heck even Gordon Freeman from the PS2.
cool tgeory and i loke the evidence but the focus on this specific place being special doesnt make sense, it seems all video game characters are like this, even online games
I don't get what you mean by real game characters? I get it as they only really exist in a movie, but still, arcade characters are still video game characters.
