Why Cars 3 was the PERFECT ending to the trilogy

After the appalling mess that was Cars 2, Pixar released what many have described as a fitting end to the Cars trilogy. So, let's look back and see if this film stands up to the hype...

[@Lazarultos]

@@djroscurro9859 I think that both your points prove that McQueen is both similar to and different from Jackson. He's different as that respect he had for the racers that came before him remained alive, but also showed that if he was not humbled and taught the lessons he learned in Radiator Springs, that respect would have been snuffed out by the glitz and glamour of professional racing that McQueen would've been exposed to in the future, which is exactly what happened to Jackson.

[@USSFFRU]

@@ashleysharkey6406 He atleast referred to him as Mr. The King, meanwhile Storm completely disrespected and dissed McQueen in all encounters he had with him. Additionally, he still did hold some respect since he didn't cross the finish line to win the Piston Cup, he went back to atleast make the King finish his last race not in just a tragedy.

[@pdsd1]

​@@ashleysharkey6406The movie shows you that Lightning is protected by the media to the point that thinks that everything he does is right and King was the first one to tell him he needs to change. Before that you see the amount of joy he had for King coming to congratulate him

[@aadishankar575]

I hated cars 3. This movie is not for me at all. The story of cars itself is about Lightning McQueen, a hotshot piston cup racer rising to the top and beyond. The third movie forgets that. If he just wanted Cruz to win then why train with Smokey? Not to mention logic wise this movie makes no sense. Let's say McQueen was 20 in cars 1. This thing was released in 2017, so he aged just by 12 years i.e he's 32. Morgan Shepherd's career ran for 29 years. Not to mention, competition wise Jackson Storm had 850 horsepower while McQueen had only 750. A 100 horsepower difference. And he was much more aerodynamic, while McQueen isn't which is strange to me considering the existence of cars 2. McQueen got modified to some extent in cars 2, and in the games you had control over modifications on McQueen as well. And of course, we have to discuss Cruz Ramirez. She is a trainer for the new racers. This is a very important role in racing. You are nothing without your teacher or trainer in this case. But the fact that people hate cars 2 less than this shitfest is beyond me. Cars 2 was unique, it made a new angle to the story of cars which was very exciting for me because I love cars 2. And in the third movie, the movie and the game (driven to win) doesn't even acknowledge the existence of cars 2. Which is a result of the unnecessary hate projected towards it.

It's more or less so that Storm was overthinking, and was taking advantage towards McQueen, as it seemed like Storm was much more of an improvement then McQueen. There was a series of books released during the promotional material of Cars 3, in which case a background story about Storm was shown. However, it does not show him having a grudge against him, as in the book he has never heard of McQueen, but he only wanted to race because he was in a simulation competition (explains the simulators used) and won in it and got a huge promotion of a sponsor. It seems like Storm was just overconfident and was more egotistical towards McQueen.

McQueen's legacy feels so unfinished after he was a side character in cars 2 and an old dog who can't race in cars 3. Even after winning 7 piston cups, I felt that there was little to no actual emphasis on his racing career. Cars 3 is the worst out of all of them, as much as I don't like the ending to a fantastic storyline, McQueen wasn't given the spotlight he deserved in the movies. Cars 2 was all about mater, and cars 3 was a story about a different racer with a dream to be like McQueen. It would've been cool to see McQueen get some sort of an upgrade to keep up, and everyone lives happily ever after with him continuing to win.

I've had a disagreement on this with some of my friends, but I completely feel this movie ended the way it should've. Personally I do think that Cruz should've started the race as well, but they feel as it should've just been McQueen the whole time, but then what's the point of the movie. It would have just been a carbon copy of the first one and kind of pointless in that regard. It would've removed Cruz as a character and overall, it would've been much worse than it was. Cars 2 should really have just been a movie about international F1 style racing, without all the secret agent bs, and maybe even had McQueen lose and realize that Nascar style racing was where he was best suited.

[@svis6888]

But then what's the point of the movie if McQueen doesn't race, like you're completely cutting what made the two last movies, peoples here seems to not realise how illogical it would be to let Cruz win the whole race...

[@juanmar7in3z40]

@@svis6888 It's not necessarily about McQueen winning or losing, it's about serving the purpose of storytelling. Take the Movie, "Creed," starring Michael B. Jordan. For the most part, it seems like a rather textbook boxing movie, but in the same Universe as the Rocky Movies that were popular in the late '70s and the early '80s. Creed is adamant about beating the #1 heavyweight boxer, and over the course of the film, you see the crazy training that he goes through to achieve a victory. A lot of time is spent developing the characters in such a way where you might think he will win, because it is a movie, and he has too, right? Even though he loses in the end, it wasn't a complete and total loss. He had just earned the respect of his opponent, and pretty much everybody who thought he was a fraud because of the name he held. He was able to hold his own in a fight for 12 rounds where people thought he would get dropped within 2. In a relatively similar fashion, we see this within the plot of Cars 3. We spend the entire movie watching what looks to be McQueen training for a race but is also a handful of knowledge that Cruz learned from and helped her to become a better racer. Obviously, the whole switching with Cruz midrace is flawed, but it is what it is. Imagine a world where all 3 Cars movies was about McQueen getting beat in a race, trains, and then wins. They honestly would have been better off leaving it at the OG Cars rather than wasting their time with the second two. McQueen spends the entire movie training in ways that Hudson taught him, with Cruz by his side, unintentionally teaching her to become who he once was. I'm sorry but if this would've just been cookie cutter storytelling about McQueen winning at the end, it would have been pointless to have Cruz, or even that company involved in the first place, as he didn't end up using their tactics to get any better, he went on his own path. McQueen was out of his prime, and we already know that he won 7 piston cups. That was stuff that didn't need much, if any screen time to really develop the story. It was something we knew was gonna happen since the end of the first movie, they just never "showed" it to us, but telling a great story shouldn't require them to do so.

[@just_a_morningstar]

@@juanmar7in3z40 I don't think it would have been cookie cutter story telling to have McQueen win the race. Mainly because he's never won an on-screen race with as high stakes as the Florida 500. To my knowledge, the only races we've seen McQueen win was the second round of the World Grand Prix and a handful of unnamed Piston Cup races in the opening of Cars 3. Pretty much every time McQueen has had the chance to win a penultimate race, he's backed down from the victory because there's more to life than racing, and there's more to racing than winning. But the thing is that no matter what, McQueen still loves racing. He's a race car, this is what he was built for and he loves the sport so much. To have Cars 3 end with him winning might be a bit of a cliche in terms of the film industry at large, but it wouldn't be the same as the other two Cars films if they were left as is. And also it would just be nice to have that triumphant victory that we were denied in the previous films. Like, honestly, it's kind of been done to death within this franchise that there's often times something more important to McQueen than winning the race he's in. Just once, in my kids film about sentient cars, I wanted to McQueen cross the finish line in first in a race that actually mattered to him. I think that's why, as a kid, I enjoyed Planes when that came out. Because I finally got to see the protagonist win, I just got to turn my brain off and watch Dusty rise to the challenge and triumph. Don't get me wrong, I still think that Cruz should have had her chance to shine, and I don't think I'd change the overall ending of McQueen becoming Cruz's trainer, but I'd rework how they got to that ending if I was in charge. Instead of drafting, Smokey actually implies that it might finally be time for McQueen to upgrade. Nothing too exotic, just a more powerful engine or perhaps some of the inbuilt software like Hamilton. McQueen is initially against this, because then he feels like he'd be taking a step closer towards becoming another Next Generation Racer, the same folks who have ran many of his close friends off the race track and into retirement forever. Eventually, McQueen decides he doesn't have a choice and gets fitted with an engine that is much closer to Jackson Storm's in terms of power. Things go back to how they did in Cars 3 until the final race. McQueen doesn't pit for a regular check-up, he pits because this new engine isn't entirely compatible with his inner workings or mechanics or whatever (I'm not petrol head so I don't fully understand how cars work, but I imagine that Jackson Storm's engine in McQueen's vehicle wouldn't be a seamless fit) McQueen thinks he might be out of the race after the engine malfunctions, but he gets Cruz to drive in his stead for a portion of the race while his pit crew works on repairing him. Smokey attempts to coach Cruz through the radio, but has no luck, so they put the headset on McQueen and he gives her the same advise in ways she would understand while he's being repaired. McQueen is fixed up, but he sees just how far up the positions she's risen and gives her a few more laps to see what she's capable of. Cruz grows tired, maybe 20 laps from the finish, and stops moving up the pack. Finally, McQueen calls her back into the pit, tells her just how proud she is, and then races back onto the track with new life in his engine again. He wins the race, beats storm, maybe even uses some of Cruz's earliest advice to him from back at the Rusteze racing centre. McQueen wins, and then the rest of the ending plays out as normal.

Ramirez then had the audacity to be butthurt when McQueen lashed out at her. It was nice to see McQueen grow into more of a mentor but it would have been much more fulfilling to see him have one last hurrah.

[@MrShadow8869]

The one think I hate about this movie is how they had Cruz take over McQueen mid race, Like they should of had a qualifier race or something like that then have McQueen get injured during it and only just making it then having his realization of his age then switch with Cruz and let her race while he mentors/coaches. The one thing I would change to make this perfect, with how they mad them switch out mid race just cheapens the win in the first place, it might of been ok if maybe if there was some foul play by storm or another racer by switching out McQueens fuel with something harmful then it would of not diminished the final because the so called 'win' isn't either of theirs as they didn't achieve the whole race themselves which can be constituted as cheating lol - the three qualifiers and things needed to win is endurance, skill and speed if you have someone join at the last couple laps on a full tank/battery its not fair for the other racers.

However, the one thing that gets me (and my son) is how almost everybody disrespects Lightning throughout the film. There are a few exceptions, but he gets insult after insult, and the film also drives home the point that he is wrong all the time, even when what he says and does make sense.
