  The thing that Disney misunderstood in their later movies is that Wreck-It-Ralph didn’t reveal that there WAS a villain, they revealed that THE villain went much deeper than anyone expected

  What i love the most about Turbo is how his twist isn't about his role in the story, it's about his intentions and identity, he's been the antagonist from the start considering he opposes the idea of vanelope racing, which is Ralph's goal in order to get his medal back, this puts him in a situation where King Candy and Ralph are in opposition in objective, but not morality, this until the big reveal happens, in which it is shown King Candy stole the title of main character for himself, until then we might just think he's a nobody who stumbled upon the game's code, but during the race we get the confirmation that he isn't a nobody, he's the guy everyone knows as being the selfish game destroying manchild, and there's a TRIPLE twist in which he becomes the big bad after being eaten by one of the insects, corrupting him even more and giving him more power, he goes from simple antagonist with opposing goals to morally bad antagonist to world ending threat within the SAME MOVIE

  My favourite moment with King Candy is when he convinced Ralph to not let Venelope race. Because his reasoning is very sound. He’s not trying to bribe Ralph or appeal to his greed or ego. He’s appealing to his heart. At that point, we assumed he was the villain because he keeping Venelope out of the races to protect the game. In fact, if Ralph hadn’t seen her on the side of the arcade, he would’ve won.

  It works because the twist wasn't that King Candy was the villain, the twist is that he's actually Turbo.

  The best part is in early production, King Candy and Turbo were NOT going to be the same person. Disney made the right call this time.

  One interesting detail about Turbo&apos;s &quot;final boss&quot; or &quot;Cy-bug&quot; or &quot;virus&quot; design at the end of the movie, is the fact that the area of the exoskeleton that his head is coming out of, is actually broken.<br><br>He didn&apos;t get Ship of Theseus&apos;ed by the Cy-bug and have his code assimilated into <b>its</b> form and recreated, he <b>took over</b> the bug. &nbsp;He&apos;s even more of a parasite than before.

  Another cool hint at Turbo&apos;s true identity is his character design. Every racer in Sugar Rush is explicitly a chibi; short body, tiny limbs, big heads, no exception. They are reminiscent of the chibi cartoon characters you&apos;d get from Japan during the 2000s. King Candy on the other hands, looks like he belongs in Looney Tunes or &quot;Fix-It Felix Jr.&quot; more than he does Sugar Rush.

  Wreck it Ralph was good not only because of the good twist villain but it had many other conflicts too:<br>1. Ralph wanting to win a medal but was told that bad guys don&apos;t win medals<br>2. Fix it Felix wanting to bring Ralph back to his game before it went out of order<br>3. Calhoun wanting to destroy all Cybugs before they take over every game in the arcade<br>4. Vanellope wanting to race but was told that glitches can&apos;t race &amp; to prove to her rival bullies that she is not an accident waiting to happen.

  Turbo was an awesome villain. It just goes to show how great Wreck-It Ralph is as a movie.

  There are a couple more moments that hint at King Candy being Turbo. Or at the very least not being a part of Sugar Rush<br>1. King Candy is the only one to recognize Ralph right away. This is because Turbo’s game was right next to Ralph’s, making them neighbors in a technical sense<br>2. When Ralph makes a comment about how pink the throne room is, King Candy says “It’s salmon” and quickly changes the topic. According to the creators, this is supposed to be a hint that he’s not the true owner of the castle as pink is a color traditionally associated with little girls rather than fully grown men<br>3. When King Candy approaches Ralph with the intention to manipulate him, Ralph is (understandably) on the offensive. King Candy is actually terrified for his life. The reason for this is highlighted in the beginning of the movie. “If you die outside your game, you don’t respawn”. If King Candy was actually a part of Sugar Rush, he would have no reason to fear Ralph killing him because he would simply respawn

  King Candy/Turbo was a definitely a perfect twist Villain. He had the most mystery, personal reasoning, was revealed by sour ball to be a liar not too late in the movie when Ralph interrogated him, and there no way of knowing he’d actually be Turbo. Plus I also love his character was done. Perfect twist villain for sure.

  Part of the reason why I think the reveal of King Candy being Turbo is so great is because the story of Turbo just feels like a legend, a cautionary tale, a fable, one that just teaches us why they use that term and are so distraught by what Ralph is doing. Having him being Turbo as the twist not only makes his actions make more sense but it also brings things full circle in a satisfying way. They did a fantastic job with this movie.
