❤️ I think Cars 2 was real start of the 2010s Disney Twist Villain craze…

Previous Twist Villains existed before the 2010s, but I think the reason why it became more frustrating for Pixar and Disney movies in that time was because of one person: John Lasseter. Lasseter had been executive producer on all the Pixar and Disney films with the twist villain: Cars 2, Wreck It Ralph, Frozen, Big Hero 6, Zootopia, Moana, Coco, and Incredibles 2.

While Lasseter was the executive producer on previous Disney and Pixar films with a twist villain (Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc. Incredibles, Meet the Robinsons, and Toy Story 3) he also had a lot more oversight as well. He wasn’t the most powerful man in animation at the time.

I think Lasseter really liked the twist villain and production-timeline wise, he probably suggested twist villains while making Cars 2.

With that being said… I think Miles Axlerod is the smartest in the sense that he never brags about his crimes to his victims. He only reveals himself as the villain when there’s a bomb inches from him and seconds away from blowing him up. Axlerod was smart enough to be cautious, not going to his meetings in-person, using a disguise voice and I think changed his color(?)…

As for the amount of money he probably spent setting up the World Grand Prix as a sham… Well if the 2020s have taught us anything is that being a billionaire doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a genius.

I’m not saying Miles Axlerod my favorite, but I kind like him in the historical sense of animation production and writing, what he’s meant to represent in the movie itself, and for shallow reason of silly/scary fanfics about him. Like in the same way people use Prince Hans (no super powers or soft/sad boy-ism, but manipulation, charm, wealth, and privilege).

💚 I liked crashing into Mia and Tia on the Cars video game because it kind of gave me a glimpse of their personalities. Surprisingly they are different. Mia is more aggressive with her yelling and whining and has more lines than Tia (in the video game). Mia also has a slightly deeper voice than Tia. Tia is more likely to compliment herself (self confidence queen) and whine.

I don’t get why people assume they’re teenagers. Not only is that gross for Lightning… but Mater too since they’re in his tall tales as girls to impress.

Sarge is the underrated hero. Despite calling Fillmore a tree hugger, he clearly distrusts Axlerod’s history of being an oil tycoon enough to switch Allinol with Fillmore’s fuel at the last minute. He may call not trust Fillmore’s organic fuel, but he cares about McQueen’s safety than his bias. There’s also this line Mater said in Cars 3 that while Luigi and Guido were Lightning, they put Sarge and Fillmore in charge of the tire shop. Fillmore gave all the tires away and Sarge was hunting them back down because… you don’t just do that with someone else’s merchandise.

But at the same time, casually brings a cannon to a party when Fillmore asked:

This was a photo of the comic I took and posted on my deviantart.

I think these comics made Chick weirdly interesting. One of the comics involved Chick admitting he respects Doc as a racer, has a “win at all cost” mentality because of his father, and that he learns to not make fun of disabled children.

This comic has him randomly show and save Red unintentionally. Long story short, Sarge had a really bad camera and thought Red stole something from him. Doc is in charge of the trial, Sally tries to defend Red and butt heads with Sarge about his sucky evidence. Sally monologues to herself about Sarge’s sucky evidence, Chick randomly shows up and flirts with her. Sally leaves and follows her to the courthouse. It’s then Chick shows he’s an AV nerd and messes with Sarge’s video evidence that showed color, cleared the image, and reveal Red didn’t steal his stuff.

So yeah…

Hello! I hardly even know the blog but just stopping by to drop off some Chick and Sally interactions I thought you'd might like lol

LETS GO, THEY HAD OFFICIAL INTERACTIONS!!!!

god chick is such an asshole 😭😭 and sally continues to be the realest character ever

also i love how this addresses their dynamic where chick sorta represents the worst of the life that sally left behind 🤔 salchick is so deep and multilayered

also also, reoccurring chick detail i noticed: whenever chick makes a "witty" joke or one-liner and no one reacts, he immediately tries to awkwardly explain it

yknow sarge didn't go "hrrk blegh" when he died so maybe we're supposed to take this as a sign that he didn't actually die and somehow got out of there without the others knowing. I know they buried the body but maybe he was just really good at holding his breath
