With the Jackson Rewrite what would his attitude with Cruz and any of the other next gen racers?
Well, for my rewrite, I’m kinda putting Cruz on the back burner. She’s still there but not as a major role! I feel like there’s characters that could be explored more that weren’t given the time, like Bobby and Cal! But Dw, she’ll be hanging around.
But for the next gen racers, he would kinda try not to perceive them. Like he’s very passionate about racing but he’s not that much of a social butterfly. His brain is trying to stratigraphicly win this race. But that’s kinda what gets in the way of his performance in racing. He’s so in his own head, that he forgets to be in the moment.
That’s one of the reason why he looked up to lightning in the first place, bc he was so in the moment. It’s something he can’t easily do.

always down for when canon characters are disliked but this Specific interpretation just appeals somehow. do share about your thoughts on storm!! would love to hear abt the characterisation of his that appeals to you :) /gen
OH WOULD I LOVE TO
So, I think we should examine what I don’t particularly like about his character. I would like to note that I have yet read the book about Jackson Storm, this is primarily the information we have from the movie and the movie alone. But thankfully a mutual of mine has sent it to me ^^ which I’ll be reading real soon.
And I want everyone to know, this is not a post critiquing people who like Jackson Storm. If you like him for how he is, that is completely fine! /gen
I’m just picking him apart a little bit.
If this post becomes outdated— I apologize in advance.
My main problem with Jackson is that he has incredibly little screen time. Like he’s built up to be such an important character but in long run leads to nothing. Sure, there is the race with Cruz, but it really doesn’t give us any insight on who he is as a person aside from what we already know. He’s cocky and arrogant.
Which leads to my second problem with him; he’s kinda just like Lightning McQueen in the first movie. A rookie who is in over his head. Which just feels a little lazy to me since it’s just kinda the repeat of what they’ve done before. Just now he’s being portrayed as the bad guy.
His entire being is kinda confusing as well, because @kei-maki mentioned something. NASCAR actually lowered the speed of how fast cars could go. (Please note I’m not an a nascar expert, I just heard this from her.) And sure, you could say that it’s unfair to compare real life with a fictional kids movie to talking cars, but I feel like that would be somewhat relevant in a way. If faster cars are more prone to crashes, wouldn’t that also be a problem in their world too?
I feel like they would want to prevent that.
I have a couple more problems with Storm but I feel as though I should read the book first to say my peace on them. Though, I can say what I bring up here is relevant to my rewrite.
I kinda want to make Jackson more— nuanced. I don’t want him to be a complete asshole as he is portrayed in the movies. Making him more so serious and blunt would make a little more sense.
And, instead of the cars getting faster, they’re getting smarter. Maybe fancy adjustments here and there, but nothing out of the realm that would get others hurt. And since this is a newer generation, Lightning is starting to fall behind, like he does in Cars 3.
Though, I would like to make Jackson a little bit of an older model. So he’s kinda in between Lightning’s era and the new era. That’s why he’s finding it difficult to find his place in racing. And— since he is an older model, he was built to go faster before the rules changed. So he needed some adjustments. I’m still working that part out but you get what I mean.
This is all already becoming long enough, so I’m going to end it here. Thank you for the ask, Rahm. You always seem to be able to get an entire essay out of me LMAO
