Wreck it Ralph notes

 Why does it look Pomo?
Lots of intertextuality of old video games (e.g. Pac man)
Bad guys come together and Ralph does not fit in although he is bad
There are different themes in the film from the different types of games shown (fix it Felix - retro, sugar rush - girly, younger, heros duty - thrilling)
There are themes of nostalgia - pac man, sonic, mario

Does it think Pomo?
Ralph is the bad guy but the audience feel sorry for him and see him as a good guy 
It's very hyper real as the whole story is about game characters that are real

Is it after modernism?
The truth is that Ralph isn't really bad but deep down good and you learn that in the film
