@@iMEGAmation Oh my goodness that sounds awesome! I'm going to see it on the 14th in IMAX. I'm so excited I'm probably going to end up making a video about it lol. Imma give yours a watch as soon as I watch it.
The alternate ending makes a lot more sense to me story wise, I never understood why having two cars race under the same number would be allowed. And it would have been an amazing bookend to have Lighting finally race for Dinoco and under Doc's number to boot
For Elio, I hope that OOO behaves similar to morph from Treasure planet and Sox from Lightyear, Grigon behaves similar to Silver from Treasure Planet, and questa behaves similar to Amelia in Treasure Planet and Franny in Meet the Robinsons
I hate this movie, it's full of bullshit. a real racer would never give up his spot in racing, no matter what, they're all fierce, competitive, and most importantly selfish, which is what makes a great racer. Ultimately the goal of any racer is to win, and just win, non of that legacy bullshit, non of that mentor bullshit, non of that charity bullshit, they all want one thing and it is the number ONE. Character development is important in racing, but it's only good if it's good for the racer, and it's even better if it gives a serious disadvantage for other racers. Show me ONE real life race car driver that would do what McQueen did, you will find none, the drivers who never achieved anything significant are desperate for wins and championships, and those who won only want more, it's greedy, and it's good. (I am gonna give F1 as an example because that's what I know best) Why is Prost, Senna, Schumacher, Hakkinen, Alonso, Raikkonen, Hamilton, Vettel, Verstappen, and many more great? They never back off, even if it means hurting themselves or the other driver, it does not matter, they will do anything to win a race, let alone a whole championship, it's dirty, it's disgusting, it's not morally right, but they don't give a shit, that's what makes a champion, what McQueen did here is not in fashion of a racer, and more importantly a champion, let alone a 7x champion. Lewis Hamilton right now is experiencing what McQueen experienced, not winning for several seasons and people doubting him saying he should just retire (he also just happens to be a 7x world champion) and yet he would never give his spot to say for example Kimi Antonelli, that's not of his nature, not of his mindset, not of his morals. If anyone is doubting my words I am willing to go ask famous successful and unsuccessful drivers if they would do what McQueen did, and before I even do it, I can imagine many of them asking if I'm crazy for asking such a pointless and stupid question. There is no debate or argument is if this ending is shit, those who don't follow racing might not understand why it's wrong, but anyone with more than surface level knowledge of any motorsport does not consider this ending valid.
the final ending is better, he realises that his life isn't just about racing, and cruz has waited her whole life to become a racer, and this is likely her one chance, and he sees the potential in cruz and puts her out there in the alternate ending, sterling seeing something in cruz is a lot worse that mcqueen seeing it, and mcqueen entering the race would confuse the audience, no one would know who to root for, and if cruz didn't fully take up the mantle from lightning mcqueen, what's the point of her character?
Merida had so much potential in the first act, but by the second and third acts they regressed her arc into yet another one where a Disney princess has to rectify all her problems and not once do they acknowledge the stuff her mother did.
What do you mean you don’t agree with the statement that brave is Pixar’s version of a classic Disney film? That’s an objective fact, and they do it miserably too! Good ridens to her she isn’t a true Pixar character, and she is the worst Pixar protagonist! Pixar is such an amazing studio they don’t deserve to have her stupid face on their merchandise. At the same time seeing a Pixar character in Disney promotion and stuff sickens me, I demand Disney take her off the princess line and give this horrible movie the same treatment as the wild or Mars needs moms.
The thing I didn’t like about cars 3 was he didn’t finish the race, and let Cruz take the victory. Now I don’t have issues with Cruz winning. That part was fine, she was clearly ahead of lightning and showed promise during the training so having her win was not a bad idea at all. But the original ending leaves hope for Cruz winning AND lightning proving storm wrong, with lightning getting second place and cruz winning. They could’ve done this and it would’ve fit really well. Hell, I would’ve even been fine with lightning getting third place if it meant that lightning proved that he still had it in him.
yea who is this yellow wannabe? i want to see lightning kick storm's ass thats all i wanted but since it didnt happen i didnt watch the movie because it was a waste of time i believe francisco can go about 220 mph and lightning can keep up with him so did lightning lose a gear? or if its a cvt did it lose some top end speed? because lightning should go faster than storm
Why do so many people hate Elio and Elemental? I thought Elemental was amazing, and Elio looks awesome. I wish people could just lower their expectations and not think that Pixar is perfect every time and enjoy it as is.
I have an 8 year old ukulele student who after 5 months of playing is playing as well, and in some cases better than I did after 3 years of playing. I also substituted for this 14 year old guitarist who in just one year is playing crazy metal solos, and his fingers move as fast as mine did after like 8 years of playing lol. Some people just got it. I may be a 25 year old boomer, but I still have a ton of tricks, techniques, and experience that I can teach to help make my students as great of players as possible, while still learning myself. I'm obviously biased but based on my experience I love the ending. I don't think McQueen gave up on racing and honing his craft just as Doc didn't. He just found another way to appreciate the sport even more. I've gotten so much better at music since I started teaching. Maybe it'll make McQueen an even better racer.
We NEED a Cars What If and all these deleted scenes worked out officially. I know that this multiverse style wouldn't fit Cars so much, but still, all these deleted scenes and alternate endings have so much potential!
My Biggest problem with the ending they went with is that I wished they went all out on McQueen being a mentor. I would have loved it better if McQueen gave his spot to Cruz and Cruz permanently raced for rustez while McQueen retired and put his love into racing by mentoring Cruz like doc did with him. If they wanted McQueen to keep on racing I feel like the alternative ending would have been way better, but for me the fact that they don’t go full into McQueen being a mentor and still have him race rubs me the wrong way idk
Gotta be real, Elio is getting a Disney plus release with no questions asked. Disney doesn't want another box office bomb like what happened to Mars Needs Moms or Strange Magic
Man Disney made a big mistake not putting this in the movie a happy ending for lightning McQueen and he finally beats Jackson storm for real and makes sterling look like a idiot
Here in Argentina, "Elemental" was also a Success. It was seen by 2,5 Million people. When I went to watch it, the theater was full, because here we were on Winter holidays. Argentina is a country who Loves animation. ARG was one of the main international markets of the movie. The Latin Spanish title is "elementos".
I preferred this ending. Hot take, I know, but let me explain. The movie has heavy themes of legacy and retirement. As someone already stated, there is a scene that proves how Lightning isn't cut out for this anymore, that scene being when he passed Cruz in training only to be immediately passed again. These movies took place over a very long amount of time, and despite not appearing older, Lightning aged. We see as much with Doc. He is a car, and therefor doesn't change in appearance as he ages, but you can tell from Paul Newman's brilliant voicework in the first movie that he is getting old despite having that spark inside of him. Lightning wasn't able to compete against racers in better condition, and accepted that he wasn't cut out for it anymore. I feel that Lightning wanted to keep it simple like Doc did and to simply coach without a lable attatched to the face, and that kind of simplicity is something I respect deeply. Reminds me of my own grandpa in a way. He keeps things simple, and I can see how happy he is.
In 2019, Disney Animation and Pixar released their last sequels since, Frozen2 and ToyStory4 respectively. Here are the films released by both studios since then: both had zero sequels since 2019: *WDAS: Raya & Last Dragon, Encanto, Strange World, Wish. *Pixar: Onwards, Luca, Soul, Turning Red, Lightyear, Elemental. Only one known IP = Lightyear which is a spin-off.
@@iMEGAmation I'm saying the narrative about Disney and sequels is extremely exaggerated. Look at the output of other animation studios; how many originals they released in the last 10 years. Disney hasn't released one in over 5 years; they released original after original including last year's Wish and Elemental. Meanwhile, Illumination's Migration is their first original in almost 10 years, it ended up being their worst performing film ever in the box office. Do you ever hear complaints about Illumination and sequels? Nope. Inside Out-2 and Moana-2 will be their respective studio's first sequel since 2019.
what if during the alternate final race, cruz is winning with storm and mcqueen in second and third. storm tries to sabotage cruz and mcqueen takes first, he flashes back to the california race from cars 1. mcqueen then does something to stop storm from hurting cruz, while sacrificing his win in the process. definitely rough and need’s workshopping, but it could be good imo
Elio has the same problem as Strange world: It looks very scify and aliens. And not everyone gels with that. I definitely didn't miss Strange worlds...I just don't want to see it (Even though I know the family dynamic is pretty up my alley.) So my hopes are very low, and that could mean more sequels or less big swings...and I feel that would be a definite problem!
It is sad how they milk sequels, because nostalgia and people instead of ignoring them(making Disney aware that the Route is bad), even come and are excited. We need to support original ideas, however inside out deserves a sequel(teen years of riley), yet toy story is a cash grab. TS should end at 3rd film, with a cutscene or short what happened to beepop.
I think it’s hard to call one sequels existence just, while stating another is a cash grab when we don’t know what it’s about. Not necessarily nostalgia but moreso brands continuing since most if not all of these franchise are still very much modern and in the public eye, and have been since their last entries only a few years ago.
this is an exaggerated narrative; Disney hasn't released an animated sequel since 2019. Meanwhile, Illumination's Migration was the first original animated film from them since 2016 "Sing".
I don't agree that this doesn't fit the film's theme. The themes in this film are actually more open handed than people give it credit, most people say it's about mcqueen becoming a mentor, but in reality that's most just the ending of the film, to me the themes are more about the legacy we leave behind. This fits the movie way more and all the scenes with doc Hudson can be seen as more of a story of legacy than a story about mcqueen becoming a mentor. I think giving mcqueen the opportunity to race one last time and actually win for the first time on screen would have been amazing and him doing it with hudson's number chef's kiss, i think this does fit the theme of legacy especially because he gives up at first and only does it as a last hurrah for the cheering crowd. In the end he could have retired and allowed his legacy and hudson's legacy to live forever while alos becoming a mentor for cruise.
I think the biggest reason why people can’t get over McQueen is because Pixar did a terrible job of showing his actual success. We never saw McQueen win a single championship and he has 7 of them. And we never truly got an in depth race in any of the movies of him winning, maybe you can count Italy but even then it was overshadowed by the spy plot in the movie. And McQueen got little excerpts of winning in the start of 3 but it’s never a truly detailed race.
For me the problem isn't that Cruise finished the race instead of Lightning, the problem is that the way they get her in the race in the first place is just so rushed. I'm still not sure what kind of a rule "you can have multiple cars if they share the same number" is, or "if you drove part of the race you both win all of the race." Clearly, this ending needed more time in the oven. More time is the main thing that would've fixed it, not changing the character who won the race.
Personally, I don't think the main reason for Cars 3's ending being unsatisfying was Cruz beating Storm instead of Lightning. The movie was thematically leading up to Lightning having to pass on the torch of racing to someone else; the whole idea of the first 15 minutes of the movie was that Lightning was grappling with following in Doc's footsteps of his career ending because of his crash. Not only this, but Lightning can't race forever, which is why I don't think Lightning beating Storm would be all that emotionally satisfying. The reality is that he HAS to be done racing at some point (just like how Andy had to give up the toys in Toy Story 3). The inevitability of change is what the movie is fundamentally about. So I don't think Lightning needed to beat Storm himself. The real problem, in my view, is that Cruz's character as she was presented in Cars 3 wasn't developed or fleshed out well enough for the ending with her beating Storm to be emotionally satisfying. And I think there's one key way to remedy this: revealing Cruz to have a deep admiration for Doc. Then, there could've been a combination of elements between the Cars 3 we got and "More Than New Paint." If Cruz was introduced as the Fabulous Cruz Ramirez, this could've acted as a sort of protest to Sterling's plan to make her the next Lightning for the "brand," instead making her the next Doc. This also would've made Cruz's flip over Storm be a thousand times more thematically brilliant, essentially having her execute the greatest maneuver of her life-long idol. I think all of this put together would succeed in making the movie what it really attempted to be. I'd love to hear people's opinions on my take and ideas.
The problem here would have made McQueen compete with Cruise, and it’s much better in the final film to have him step down to let her race. I do like the idea though as letting McQueen win the race in his own pricing the training worked, but he realizes his much effort it took and how he’s overstayed his welcome regardless, and tells Ctuise she should take the 95 in future races as the mentorship continues.
I think the original ending works, I would just change one ☝️ thing when lighting McQueen is on the track, make him easily beat storm before McQueen switches to Cruz, this would tell the audience that yes McQueen could have beaten the race, but decided not to, and the confrontation with storm could’ve been even better as he gets frustrated at the fact that lightning is mocking him by introducing a new contestant! You could even see lightning enjoying beating storm until the realisation of what he could do (for the next generation).
I honestly don't hate cruz i actually like her character and honesty her being a racer is actually good character development i know there's some people out there who gonna disagree but lets be real and don't get me wrong I Lighting will as have a place in my heart but Lighting's racing career is over and that's what we all got to accept that but I do want see Lighting McQueen race one more time and to see him go out with a bang
How I'd like the race after this to go: Lightning and Cruz race through mid-pack with storm somewhat ahead, and eventually end up with storm, lightning, then cruz as storm blows his tires just before the line, forcing lightning to swerve and leading to a Tie-by-tongue like in the first movie. Thereby we come full circle, the final race of movie 3 matching the opening of movie 1.
Not only do I think the alternate ending of Cars 3 is better, but it would’ve made Lightnings story arch more symbolic to what Doc Hudson said to him from the first movie. “They quit on me. When I finally got put back together, I went back expecting a big welcome. You know what they said? ‘Your history’ moved right on to the next rookie standing in line. There was a lot left in me… I never got a chance to show them” And Lightning wearing the Hudson Hornet Livery would have made this ending so much more beautiful. Disney unfortunately missed such an opportunity to do something like that.
I wish the ending was McQueen won the race against Storm, but to his breaking point, like he can still race but not at 100% anymore. At the end, he realises he can't push himself anymore so he choose to retire. Now Sterling doesn't have control over him anymore and he trains Cruz. Though I wish Cruz was a male characters because the racers are all male and McQueen is able to see himself through Cruz. Tbh it doesn't matter, it just felt a little bit strange. And I wish Cruz's car looked more like the new gen racers so it's more believable.
I think the original scene makes sense, but the final scene showing he will continue racing kinda nullifies it. Like him accepting that he cant do this anymore but can still enjoy racing by mentoring and coaching is really interesting but they didnt fully commit
