SARGE #17 Do You Think He Has A Soft Spot????

I like it.

What is with that random kid? I’m calling it, he’s played by one of Owen Wilson’s sons, probably Robert Ford since he can most likely talk.

If I’m right about the kid’s voice being Owen’s son than... Aww.... adorable! Best daddy! Then again, his little sons will also be watching their dad get hurt very, very brutally and being very sad throughout their movie.

Jackson has such a smug, but chill look on his face that I kind of like. He is just flipping chill.

Oh and the masochistic demolition derby cars and Miss Fritter are there too. Gale is staring at her bumper.

Let’s see Smokey, Louise Nash, Mack, Luigi Guido, Mater, Red and my girl Sally. Yeah that’s everyone.

This Little Kid Honored His Late Sister By Singing A Song From "Coco" And Yep, I'm Definitely Crying

Here's your first cry of 2018.

This is so beautiful and precious and sweet and sad!

Just remember there are good people in the world.

I had a dream like that once... My god... this movie will give me feels...

It’s my Toy Story 3, and I’m not even graduating!

Doc and McQueen were probably racing around Willy’s Butte and then Doc started like, shaking, breathing heavily all of a sudden and had to stop in the middle, Lightning being really worried and like oh god no no you’ll be okay you’ll be okay and Doc was just fading away slowly and he looked right into Lightning’s eyes and explained to him that his engine’s seizing, there’s nothing anyone can do. Lighting’s crying and calling for help but Doc told him no, this is how he wanted to die, he wanted to die while racing, while in the moment, and not tucked away in a garage or something. Lightning just kept crying and telling Doc he loves him as his mentor is dying in front of him, and Doc’s last words were just, “Lightning…thank you.”

I love it and consider it canon and over-hated.

I know John Lasseter had genuine intentions with it because he loves these characters. I’ve seen the commentary, interviews, behind the scenes thing,etc. He made this because he wanted to. Not because of toys, if it were than I think he’d also own them as well:

The point is that I love Cars 2, I waited five years to have seen my favorite characters again and meet new ones in whatever screen time they had.

There’s flaws, not going to lie, but I still appreciate the movie. When I know there’s flaws and acknowledge them it kind of makes me appreciate the movie more.

I never found Mater annoying. If anything he actually became an interesting character with his knowledge of car parts, how he’s very literal minded like someone with Autism or in the spectrum, and how he’s never really thought about how people see him and it actually does make sense. He’s never left Radiator Springs, let alone the flipping country so of course he doesn’t know exactly how these things. Especially since Lightning doesn’t explain to him exactly what to do and not to do. Not to mention, Sarge, Fillmore, Luigi, and Guido seem to be terrible babysitters if they can’t keep track of Mater for leaving!

Also Miles Axlerod totally started the Disney Villain Surprise thing that Disney’s been recently in the animated canon (King Candy, Prince Hans, Yokai/Professor Callaghan, Assistant Mayor Bellweather, and Te Ka). Except I think he does it best and is probably the most intelligent of all of them since he was pretty prepared if Plan A didn’t work he’d have a back up plan. He also doesn’t show up to his meetings, physically. He live-streams at the meeting and with both a disguised voice and body.

That’s Axlerod’s engine, but not his body color. This is Axlerod just after the crash in Italy:

That’s a darker, grassy green, than the more pale-ish, almost bluish green. The disguise itself must have been design for him to easily and quickly place it on while getting his clutch assembly fixed and then taking it off to go back into the public eye. That’s pretty damn prepared.

Axlerod’s also a pretty amazing liar since he fooled a lot of the characters, including a lawyer (Sally), the spies, and the in-universe media. However, it’s not an out-of-nowhere type thing like Hans as it was foreshadow in a much better way while still keeping it a surprise (in my opinion).

There’s also the fact that unlike the other surprise Disney Villains, he didn’t reveal himself to the heroes due to him thinking that he won, but because he was under the threat of death by Mater. Yeah if you think Mater was basically holding Axlerod hostage with the bomb on him and if he didn’t turn it off, they were both going to die! Keep in mind, Axlerod wanted Lightning dead because he chose the alleged alternative fuel Allinol and thus gave alternative fuel another chance to redeem itself. Since when Mater came with a clearly alive Lightning and accused Axlerod of being the mastermind, Axlerod’s plan at this point was busted. The most he can get out of at this point would be his life and what he made off of the World Grand Prix. But even getting out this with his life is a problem for him since Mater figured it out and isn’t going to let him get away unless the bomb is deactivated. Unlike the other surprise Disney villains Axlerod was at a crossroads of being screwed either way. If he didn’t deactivate the bomb, he would die, (and possibly the spies, Lightning, and Radiator Springs would be arrested):

If Axlerod did than he’d go to jail. Axlerod chose the one where he wouldn’t die.

Mater noticed the bolts that are attached to the bomb on him were also the ones ordered by the mystery engine. An engine that was specifically made for a British car model and one that uses oil. There’s also how Mater specifically says that he DOESN’T leak oil. Axle rod put the blame on Mater because he was literally right next to him when it happened and easiest car to blame, because honestly if Mater didn’t come at that moment Axlerod couldn’t have blame Lightning, as the oil leaker and thus would have somebody calling him out as either a liar or a hypocrite. If it were only Lightning and Axlerod up there and no Mater, who would you assume as someone who leaked oil? The racer or the former oil baron? That’s why it’s easier pin the blame on the silly, hick of a tow truck.

What I’m getting at is while some may see it as stupid cash-grab I do see it as something rather interesting and different, with thought and care put into it. John Lasseter WANTED Cars 2 to be different. He LOVED Mater and saw a lot of himself in the character. He WANTED to do this movie.

Can’t exactly defend him on Toy Story 4 though...

Reblog if you actually like Cars 2

I can’t be the only one out there!

Agreed. Completely. Though some of the images of Cruz and Lightning seem very... ship.

Lightning and Sally are still my Cars OTP!

Plus I don’t see Sally as the jealous type. Lightning has shown to be the jealous type with the whole getting pissy and annoyed when Sally only said Francesco looks good. Sally on her end has absolute trust in Lightning with letting him go to the World Grand Prix without any worry of him being far away and thus doing anything selfish.

Cruz I can see as having a crush on Lightning, especially since her character description says “coming to Lightning’s aid with stars in her eyes when he shows up at the Rust-eze Racing Center.”

Stars in one’s eyes is an idiom meaning “Be dazzled or enraptured, especially with romance; also, be naively idealistic or optimistic.” 

Cruz is a lifelong fan so she’ll be excited and happy to work for him but not flirt with or openly say she has a crush on him. Maybe blush when Lightning compliments her or even get a bit giggly but just that. Besides, I can mostly see Lightning seeing her as daughter figure or even a little sister figure, but either way, just a friend.

I sincerely hope with all of my being that Pixar doesn’t do that thing where Lightning spends all of his time with Cruz because she’s training him and it makes Sally feel insecure because she’s more in his league than she is - or some other excuse - and they imply that something could happen between Lightning and Cruz.

Don’t do that. Do not do that. Don’t even hint at it, get that away from me and chuck it to the bottom of the ocean. Sally is a vibrant and confident lady who trusts her bf, Lightning is not a weasel and loves Sally with all of his heart, and Cruz is a decent and respectable young lady who wouldn’t even think of doing something like that. I’m watching you, Pixar.

WHAT?! (Cars 3 spoilers)

@imcarstrash My God! Did you not realize what you just said? Or the implications of it!

“Oh yeah he hit her but at least he didn’t attempt to straight murder her.”

I don’t think you intended it that way but it looks like you’re condoning possible abuse.

Even then, Jackson got angry and desperate and decided to crash her into the wall.

l’ll admit I kind of ship Cruzon but I don’t condone what Jackson did. If I were to write a fanfic of these two being a couple than Jackson would be the one who’d need to admit he’s at fault, that he realized he went too far, maybe try to make it up to Cruz. Though not in the way of “I’ve changed!”, “It’ll be better this time”, or Cruz doing the whole “I can change him” schtick seen in almost EVERY YA novel nowadays.

Sorry it’s just your comment struck out at me as being ignorant of what you’re saying. I don’t want to attack you, but inform you. I apologize if it seemed like I was attacking you.

Welp. Goodbye Cruzon and Critter, I found a new ship for Cruz and I finally get my Cars lesbian pairing.

Make way for Cruzalie! 

One is all about the numbers and how they’re never wrong while the other beat the odds.

Since y'all forgot:

Natalie’s GAY moment is when she repeats something the commentators say, like “quite the win” but Nat puts extra emphasis into it and leans in and stares at Cruz unblinkingly from afar and does something with her lip and it was massively gay

YES! I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPENS!

BOTH OF THEM HATE JACKSON FOR TALKING TO THEIR BABY CRUZ!

I FEEL VERY SMUG ABOUT ANYONE WHO SAID SALLY WAS GOING TO BE JEALOUS OF CRUZ! 

IT’S THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY PEOPLE WE SHOULDN’T WORRY OR FEEL COMPETITIVE ABOUT OTHER FEMALES TALKING TO GUYS WHETHER THEY’RE A BOYFRIEND OR EVEN JUST A FRIEND!

DID I MENTION CRUZ IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! AND SHE LOOKS INTIMIDATED BY JACKSON! NOT MY BABY!

LIGHTNING, SALLY, GO KICK JACKSON’S ASS AND PROTECT YOUR DAUGHTER!

…Well there goes my Cruzon ship. 

…Fritter/Cruz go!

Why do I keep shipping Cruz with characters who absolute dicks to her at best and at worst ones who try to murder her?

when some fuckboy tries to flirt with ur daughter

Everytime Cruz FAILS at her ONE JOB! She has ONE JOB and she screws it up!

She’s wonderful and I love her, but she really SUCKS as a trainer.

Lightning is not your babysitter Cruz, he can barely babysit Mater and had like four other dudes to helped with that!
