Okay so here's another question, but this one is actually a little different:
Am I the only one who actually did kind of comprehend the Lemons' plan? Yes, it is a little convoluted/confusing at points and something I have to stop and think about--but I also kind of get it? I'm eager to hear your thoughts on the matter (and of course share mine in the reblogs). I've seen a lot of people complain that's confusing or even stupid--but I just don't fully buy that.
Wait, you've seen people complain about the Lemons thing or people complain about our analyzing? Bc if it's the second thing, I have something to say to the supposed haters: you're not obligated to stay. We're here analyzing for funsies. If you don't like our ramblings, you can just scroll right on by. Ok?
(And if I just unleashed an angry rant for no reason, I apologize! :L)
When Cars 2 came out, I was in 2nd grade at the ripe age of 8 years old lol, so the whole story behind everything didn't make a whole lot of sense to me at the time; I just liked Cars, so I went along with it, confused or not. XD
But now that I'm older and understand everything that went on in the Lemons' scheme, I suppose it was somewhat predictable. Of course, I didn't suspect Miles would be the bad guy as a naïve little elementary schooler, but now that I've watched this movie 50+ times, I can see it coming from a longshot.
The Lemons plan is a bit weird all things considered. Lots of things would need to go perfectly in order for them to become big oil dealers; clearly, that backfired. I get that they are the supposed owners of the biggest oil reserve in the world, but so what? There are other oil derricks and producers in the world; why would they be so much greater than the other tycoons?
Cars 2 is definitely a more thinky movie as opposed to 1 or 3, but I can appreciate that now that I'm older and thus so much more wiser (jk jk XD) since so many of movies--animated or not--nowadays lack that creativity (don't hate on me; it's just my opinion). So while it's a bit convoluted, the Lemons plan did add a creative flair to Cars 2, a movie full of so much detail.
