5 Reasons why King Candy from "Wreck-It Ralph" is the Worst Disney Villain Ever

5 Reasons why King Candy from “Wreck-It Ralph” is the WORST Disney Villain Ever

By: Brian Cotnoir

Welcome back to this, the third instillation of my Disney Villain Top 5’s.  This week will be looking at who I consider to be the Worst Disney Villain.  Now most people would assume that I’d go with someone like Hans from “Frozen” or Gaston from “Beauty and the Beast”, but no there is a villain whose for worst, far more pathetic, and probably the worst movie Villain, Disney has come up with yet.  I of course am talking about King Candy from Disney’s “Wreck-It Ralph” and here are 5 reasons why I think he is the Worst Disney Villain. 

1.) He’s Prejudice

Aint no Glitches allowed in my Candy Kingdom

King Candy is a prejudicial ruler.  The group he targets, game glitches.  Throughout the film he does everything he can to prevent Vanellope Von Schweetz (a game glitch) from racing in the candy kingdom.  King Candy is so bent on preventing Vanellope from participating in the race that he levies’s a toll of one gold coin/medal in order to enter the race.  Coins/medals to gain race entry are typically given to race winners...making it practically impossible for Vanellope to be able to enter the race.  Vanellope had to steal Wreck It Ralph’s medal, she probably wouldn’t have been able to enter the race at all.  Even after, Vanellope gains entry in the race, King Candy does everything he can to keep her from racing.  He goes as far as to hack the game code and extract her medal to prevent her from being allowed to race.

2.) He’s (possibly) a pedophile

     Am I the only person who thinks it’s sketchy that an older adult male is competing in a sport with only little girls?  Yeah, King Candy sends up all kinds of red flags.  Why is it that King Candy hates glitches, but wants to race with little girls?   Yeah, that’s pretty darn sketchy if you ask me.  I think there’s a reason to suspect that King Candy is a potentially a pedophile.

King Candy is such a creep!

 

3.) He is Egotistical

     King Candy has an ego.  He thinks he’s better than everyone; he tries to tell people what to do and how to live their lives.  He very well possibly has a God-complex too.  He is willing to put the lives of other videogame characters in danger to get exactly what he wants, including murder... 

You cocky Jerk, you!

 

4.) Murders and attempts to murder other game characters

     SPOILERS: King Candy is actually another video game character named Turbo, who was a part of a popular racing arcade game, however when Turbo’s popularity began to dwindle he left his game and went into another more popular game causing both games to sabotage it, but as a result cost both games to suffer serious malfunctions and as a result both gamesunplugged: meaning everyone in both games was killed.  After both games were unplugged King Candy snuck into the Sugar Rush game and re-wrote some of the games code in hopes of taking over the game.  He killed before and was more than willing to kill off all the characters in Sugar Rush to satisfy his over-inflated ego.

Heeeeeeeeeeerrrrrreeeeee'ssss Turbo!

 

5.) He doesn’t even get a villain song

     How can you be a good Disney villain if you don’t even get a villain song?  Yes, there’s a song on the soundtrack called “King Candy”, but it’s only an instrumental, no lyrics, or singing from King Candy whatsoever.  How can you ever be a great Disney Villain if you don’t even get your own Villain song?  That reason alone was more than enough to make me count King Candy from “Wreck-It Ralph” as the Worst Disney Villain Ever.
