Wreck-It Ralph, I'M GONNA WRECK IT!!!

Ralph will be in a up coming sega game.

Okay, I'm calling it. King Candy will turn out to be the real villain.



I just get this weird feeling about him. For one thing, he was shown in the star lineup for the main cast at Comic-Con yet we have no idea what kind of role he plays, 2) nobody would suspect him of being evil (except weirdos like me), 3) he's a king, so what's one more corrupt monarch, and 4) he's wearing purple, MAJOR warning sign in Disney animation.

I think he's probably sick of playing the "good guy" and is secretly plotting to take over all the other games in the arcade, and may even turn out to be somehow responsible for the unleashing of the Cy-Bugs from Hero's Duty, and/or may even have formed some sort of alliance with them. This kind of character would offer a nicely twisted parallel to Ralph.

Any thoughts?

I'm all on board for this idea. A contrast like that is something you don't see too often these days.

Cool idea. On a semi-related note, is your avatar a sprite of the Beholder from this trailer?

Yeah, it's from this poster for the movie:


And I don't think it's supposed to be a beholder, as all the characters are supposed to be from arcade games, and as far as I know there has never been a Dungeons & Dragons arcade game, so it's probably a made-up character for the movie.

Could you tinypick that for all of us, please?
A hotlinking thing is keeping it hidden.

Here ya go:

I think I heard somewhere there have been several DnD arcade games. Not actual RPGs, but action games set in the same universe under the same license. I could be wrong though.

Yes, there's at least two, Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara, both of which got ports to the Sega Saturn.

Oh, cool. The more you know, eh?
But that just makes me curious as to what kind of beholder it's supposed to be and which game it could have shown up in. Is there such a this as a King Beholder?

It's probably just a stylized Beholder. I doubt it actually appeared in a game like that, and keep in mind its still public domain and Beholder depictions vary, so it could very well be just, plain and simple, a beholder.

Well, I just thought with the gold crown and all...

I don't know, I never played too much DnD. There could be such thing is a king beholder, but I just think it's a stylized beholder, with a crown because he's a generic king mook or something, maybe. I guess that makes me a hypocrite, though... I have a semi-logical explanation for what I'm thinking in my head, but I can't formulate words from my thoughts for some reason.

Part 1.
Guess what?

...It's a fucking beholder.

Part 2.
Guess what?





The more you goddamn know.

Yes, I realize that this has already been established. I needed to say it myself.

Here's an interview with director Rich Moore, if anyone's interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe...d&v=eWIH98BNBEM

EDIT: Did I somehow offend you, Matamata? Because I didn't mean to.
