âHey, how come you put up with Chick for so long?â Lightning teased, tapping the pittie with his tire. âYou coulda worked for literally anyone else.â
Heâs half-joking, but hopes Chick is listening, anyway.
@mcxueen lmao
his eyes narrow unamused at being tapped by lightnings tire, his mustache grille snickers to the side.
" because i know a champ when i sees one! chicks been a real go-getter, ever since we was little tikes. now why would i woik for any other vehicle when i gotta great gig? chicks the best â you just can't see it ... "
of course he'd fluff chicks ego within listening range. he wanted to impress him. but lightning is correct, in that he is putting up with chick, essentially.
So Cars 3Â was awesome. A fantastic movie & a great ending to such a great trilogy. I totally recommend you go see it.
If you get anything from this post, that should be it: If you liked Cars and/or Cars 2 -- go see this movie. :D
However, before I write my big giant review (like I did for the other two & their Planes spin-off buddies), Iâm going to wait a bit. Right now though, Iâm a little too torn on a lot of things to think objectively.
So Iâm gonna talk about that stuff under the cut now (obviously there are spoilers) and ramble like the fangirl that I am.
Letâs get to rambling:
Weâll start with a few nitpicks:
Storm felt kinda bland. He was pretty generic. He wasnât enough of a jerk to despise (or love as a bad guy), but he also wasnât nice enough to be sympathetic as a new Rookie (aka a new Rookie the same way Lightning was). So his roll felt kinda pointless. He was a mile marker more than a character, and that was disappointing.
I wish there had been a few Cars 2 cameos. I know why there wernât, but Iâm not asking for big things. Nothing huge -- just throw away shots. Would it have hurt to have Holly Shiftwell be at least mentioned at some point. She was dating Mater at the end of movie two. Are they still together? I donât know. I want to, though. And as much as I loved Cal & McQueenâs little banter with him on the track as buddies, he was no Francesco (I miss Francesco). He was McQueenâs friend. He could have been in the crowd. Or something.
I know a lot of people hate Cars 2Â and wish it didnât exist, but thereâs a lot of us who enjoyed it and I refuse to let it be ignored, gosh darn it!
But back to Cars 3Â before I get too far ahead of myself.
So weâll end on the big one: Iâm so torn on the ending.
One the one hand -- Cruz getting to be a racer and McQueen being a mentor figure? That was awesome. Iâm super happy about that.
(Though I wish her number had been 20 at the end. It was the number she got in her first race & first win, and it would have meant more to her. She didnât really care about Doc & he wasnât a personal influence, so it doesnât feel right that Cruz got his number, even if I understand the gesture).
But on the other hand:
I WANTED MCQUEEN TO WIN AND BEAT STORM GOSH DARN IT (That technical win doesnât count for me).
That guy hasnât been allowed to win a giant, plot-relevant race in three movies. NOT A SINGLE ONE. Chick Hicks won the first Piston Cup plot race (which he reminded us about often in this movie and it was a delight every time). The World Race didnât get an ending, so we have no idea who won that one. So this was his last chance to win and he...he didnât get to.
He gave up on himself.
Like, if Cruz had been showing racing speeds close to Jacksonâs level the entire movie and confidence was her only issue, that would have been one thing. It would have made more sense for Lightning to go âSheâs so much better than me she should really be in here.â
But she wasnât. Lightning was hitting 196/197 on his practice runs, too. They were pretty close -- which means if Cruz could win, so could have Lightning. He could have pulled off Docâs move. That feels like it would have been a way better throwback to the manâs legacy than the...paint job.
Heck, my perfect scenario involved Lightning & Cruz as rivals on the track. Heâs not that old. The dude is in his 40â˛s, not his 80â˛s.Â
I would have even been happy if Lightning had won and then turned around and said âI decide, and I decide I want to sponsor Cruz as her crew chief after this season.â or something. I donât know.
I just wanted him to win, so, so bad.
The comparison of Lightning to Doc also got...a little old. On the one side, Smokey telling McQueen that he made Doc happy -- that was amazing. I loved that moment.
On the other, implying that Doc was happier as the crew chief than he was racing and that McQueen should learn to move on now that he was âdoneâ...eh. I donât...I donât buy that. Doc was miserable. He found a way to be happy again helping McQueen race, yes, but I donât think that he wouldnât have been happier racing with McQueen instead.
(Back to the: Man it would be awesome for McQueen & Cruz to be rivals on the track. Young & Old competing together).
The whole aging thing in the Cars Universe is where my disbelief starts slipping a bit. Theyâre cars. They can replace and update parts. They do it all the time. In Cars 2 someone converted from gas to electric. In Planes we see them replace major parts all the time.
Whatever was causing Lightning to be slow...could have been upgraded or replaced?
But thatâs a whole other tangent.
So yeah. I would have liked more with Storm as an antagonist (Lightning taking Cruz & Storm under his wing could have been fun), and I just...I wanted him to win. XD
(This is why I canât write an objective review right now. Because objectively, that movie ending was fantastic. Swapping out for Cruz and pointing out the number was the only thing that had to be the same was really smart and it was such a great moment for her, but I digress again--I just...I love Lightning.)
And Lightning needs to go back to wearing Red, right now. I know you love Doc. We all love Doc. But that paint job looked really bad. Go back to red with lightning bolts. Please. XD
Despite all that though, it was a great movie (Oh my gosh the Thunder Hollow race was the literal best and the âAre you sure you were in a demo derby? Not a scratch on youâ call to it), and personal misgivings aside, it wasnât a bad ending by any means.
But until then, Iâm going to pretend Lightning won and he and Cruz are rivals and that at some point he smokes them both on a dirt track because did you see him in that derby? Jackson would have been eaten alive.

How to Care for Your Cloud My Colour Collective Illustration for Opal Grey. I literally woke up at 3 am this morning with this dream so I quickly sketched out a rough drawing of it and later today I colored it in.
