WIR Plot

The Hero's Duty segments
* Ralph arrives in Hero's Duty just after the arcade opens and he doesn't get to the top of the tower until just after the arcade closes.  Surely there have been more people playing the game in the meantime, and as we see, there are cy-bugs everywhere during the game.  How did he get to the top without getting eaten?  We see later that he can handle cy-bugs on his own, and he climbs buildings for a living so I guess he knows how to fight when climbing, but it still seems like an oversight.

* Speaking of which, in Fix-It Felix, Jr., they find out Ralph is gone just after the arcade opens, but Felix doesn't get to Hero's Duty until just after the arcade closes.  What was he doing all that time?  One possible explanation is that the trams to and from video games only run either when the arcade is closed or when a game is out of order, so as to keep the characters working and get missing characters back to their games.

* Just after that happens, they hear Ralph pounding on the window at the top of the tower, to which one of the space marines says, "That came from the tower."  Yeah, the tower that takes up almost the entire game, where else could it have come from?  This isn't a plot hole, but when I think about it, it's just a so-bad-it's-funny line.   Doombeez figured it's a line he's scripted to say during the game, which I bet Calhoun mentally facepalms at every time she hears it.  I guess not everyone joins the space marines to go to college.


Game Central
* During the scene where Calhoun is explaining what cy-bugs are and why they have to be stopped, you can see in the background that the terminal to Burger Time says "Now Playing."  Isn't the arcade closed?  Furthermore, its player character, Peter Pepper, can be seen giving a pie or something to the Q*Bert guys when the camera is panning over Game Central.


The Sugar Rush segments
* How did Vanellope get captured when no one knew where to find her?  Fairly straightforward explanation: I can believe that she was so depressed that she wouldn't put up any resistance if she went out later.

* But wait a minute.  Rewind a bit, on this same note.  How did King Candy know where to find Ralph to give him the medal back?  This is something I can't think of any explanation for, short of him just happening to bumble into the right place from going to the last place he saw them.


The credits
* Again, this isn't a plot hole, but I still need an explanation.  During the end credits, the main characters get a little segment where they're shown in fireworks.  May I ask why that lineup includes Markowski, Mr. Litwack, and the General hologram, but NOT Sour Bill?  He was way funnier and more memorable than any of them.


Regarding Ralph
* Ralph gives his height at nine feet tall.  He's a big guy all right, but unless Calhoun is something like an Amazonian eight feet tall, I find that doubtful.


Regarding Calhoun
* If Calhoun is the commanding officer of the space marines, why does she wear so much *less* armor than they do?  As we see it's not like she needs it, but...well, the only explanations I have here are: 1) Video game logic: Armor's for weaklings except when it isn't; 2) Everyone knows female characters in video games don't wear armor; 3) Distinctive character design clause (again from Doombeez).  Speaking of her armor, though, if there's no padding in that breastplate of hers...yowza...

* I already knew what Calhoun's name was from learning about the movie before it was released, but only my second time watching it, I realized she's never referred to by name.  It wasn't until the third time that I noticed that yes she is named, once, at the very end, and just by her last name.  I can't help but get the feeling that during the wedding, there was an exchange something like this:
Minister: Do you, Fix-It Felix, Jr., take...um...
Calhoun: Well?
Minister: This is a little embarrassing, but...what was your name, again?
Calhoun: It's...
Minister: Yes?
Calhoun: Y'know what...I never thought about it but they never gave me one...
Everyone: ...
