So, since I'm sure that everyone here is curious, here's my Wreck-It Ralph headcanon.
We know from established lore that Ralph's backstory is that he was minding his own business and living in a tree stump, and then the Nicelanders basically showed up and did a colonialism. I mean it seems weird that he's the bad guy, right? They literally bulldozed his home and built an apartment building on top of it.
But consider: he's the villain of "Fix-it Felix, Jr."
But what if he was the HERO of the original arcade game, Fix-It Felix?
This would follow the pattern of the Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. arcade games. In the original, Jumpman/Mario is the hero and DK the villain. But in Jr, Mario is the bad guy and DK jr is the hero.
So I would argue that in the original Fix-It Felix arcade game, you likely played as Ralph, and the bad guy was Fix-It Felix, Sr.
