Instead, he spent years living with the belief that only heroes were capable of making friends and garnering appreciation for their work, prompting him to change his reputation in hopes of receiving what he believes to be 'good-guy exclusive' luxuries. Nevertheless, his intentions were pure at their core he did not wish to become a hero for the sake of becoming one. He was also arrogant, blinded by his own self-interest, and had little regret in causing damage during his pursuit for a medal. Ralph was a fairly selfish character at the start of the film his goal was to win the respect and hearts of other video game characters by retrieving a medal, but uncaringly causing havoc-including thefts, physical intimidation, and breaking Arcade bylaws by game-jumping along the way. Ralph's programming and constant mistreatment make this a difficult feat to accomplish, however. Even so, Ralph makes earnest efforts (in a rather passive-aggressive manner) to suppress his temper and wrecking habits for the sake of those around him, as well as himself-especially during social events like the 30th anniversary of Fix-It Felix Jr. This is what ultimately motivates Ralph's unpleasant reputation in Niceland, and the arcade as a whole, as well as the reasoning behind the bad-guy's insecurities and antisocial behavior. As such, he can occasionally fall into fits of rage, causing him to rampage and cause destruction to objects around him. However, a direct result of his programming, Ralph is also a destructive bumbler with an admittedly explosive temper. Though surrounded by over-the-top personalities (such as the excessively gruff Sergeant Calhoun or the magnanimous Felix), Ralph carries himself in a manner that's considerably more human, and less caricatured.

He is also extremely casual and somewhat laid-back.

After enduring this mistreatment for thirty years, Ralph found it increasingly difficult to enjoy his job.ĭespite his hulking nature and villainous programming, Ralph is ultimately a sweet, well-meaning character. He was also feared by other denizens of the arcade, who opted to stay away from Ralph whenever he was about.

Because of his role as the bad-guy of his game, however, he was ostracized by the inhabitants of Niceland and was forced to live in the town's dump with his stump and bricks, as opposed to the quaint apartment building with the other citizens. Once the building is repaired in the end, the Nicelanders throw Ralph off the top of the building, sending him falling into a puddle of mud below.Īfter hours, Ralph is warm-hearted and friendly, albeit with a temper. Ralph shouts out, 'I'm gonna wreck it!' and begins to demolish the building while Fix-It Felix Jr. comes in to save the day. In Fix-It Felix Jr.-an 8-bit video game in Litwak's Arcade-Ralph serves as the villain, with a vendetta against the residents of Niceland for constructing an apartment building over his forest home and relegating him to the dump.
