Why couldn’t Lightning McQueen beat Jackson Storm? I mean I understand that he was getting older, but Lightning was one of the greatest race cars of all time! How is it possible that the winner of seven Piston Cups couldn’t figure out a way to best him? Like if it truly was his aging technology that was holding him back, why didn’t he get some upgrades for himself? I mean Lightning went through a devastating crash! Wouldn’t that have been a perfect time to rebuild him into a next gen racer? What I want to finally understand after all of these years is: what was actually holding Lightning McQueen back?

ABOUT ME
I'm Isaac Carlson, a creator based in Orlando, Florida, and ever since I can remember I’ve loved Disney. My fondest childhood memories come from visiting Walt Disney World with my family. I grew up loving Spider-Man, Star Wars, Pixar, and the classic animated films from Disney. The stories, characters, and worlds I adored as a child eventually inspired me to create videos of my own here on TH-cam, and it changed my life. On this channel, I explore the characters and worlds that ignite the child within all of us! My goal is to create a community built on wonder, positivity, and optimism where passionate fans can unite to celebrate the magic of animated films. Here, we believe dreams can come true.
Have a magical day! #pixar #cars ##lightningmcqueen #jacksonstorm #filmtheory #disney - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
The creator of cars: bro i just wanted to entertain kids not make logic💀
I can't wait for pixar to go so creatively bankrupt, they start making sequels to these!
Cars 3 is fire and you dont understand logic of making movies
Those Meter Fantasies aren't canon
@@stefannikovic3408 still don't get it the creator just wanted to entertain kids and other people right? To spread the kids imagination
@@karlong8100 Get out.
The reason lightning mcqueen didnt upgrade himself or his engine, is because the type of racing lightning partakes in is stock car racing, meaning if he upgraded his engine or added performance parts he's no longer stock and therefore could not participate in the races.
Nah he could have done a whole makeover but makers were to lazy to design him again
@@_SaikatBanerjee_ bro that racing category have rules, the car has to be stock is first rule of that racing that's why no car in cars movie upgraded. It's not just that creators of movie were lazy..
If McQueen upgraded its like a level 500 joining a noob server which makes it unfair i think
@@_SaikatBanerjee_ the creators werent lazy, in fact they had cruiz in there for a reason. to allow cruiz to take over as the next racer. Lighting mcqueen was getting older and even if he did replace his engine he could only top 290 any futher he probably wouldnt be allowed to race.
@@_SaikatBanerjee_ Lmao that’s not even close to true and you know it. You’re just upset that it wasn’t the same old story of Lightning winning yet _another_ race. He was getting old. His engine couldn’t keep up with the newer cars. It happens.
TBH, the only way for Jackson Storm to be humbled is for him to have a similar experience to Lightning's from the 1st movie. Maybe have his career take a downturn after a false accusation-based scandal, that way, while Lightning, Sally and Mater look into the matter on the pleas of Cruz, she invites Jackson to stay at Radiator Springs for a while till the backlash dies down. There, he loses the attitude, starts making friends and embracing some old ways, maybe even gets himself a repaint. Rather than the town just teaching him, however, Storm also shows his best side by helping the town modernize a bit.
I think there's only two ways for Jackson Storm to go: either he'll end up like Lightning and be humbled or he'll end up like Chick Hicks and be bitter the rest of his life.
@@IsaacCarlsonhonestly, I hope it's the former, cause nobody wants another Chick hicks, am I right?
Yeah I think it's better if Jackson does not end up like chick
Isn’t Jackson Storm supposed to be what McQueen would’ve been if he never went to radiator springs/met doc?
@@IsaacCarlson😂😂😂
I always thought about it like basketball, The newer generation grows up watching the older generation and are implementing pro skills at a young age and becoming more comfortable and advancing those skills for years as a kid.
agreed like in the 1979-80 season the highest 3ps by a single player in a season was 90 but in the 2022-23 season 309 3ps were made.
@@sakaguchiseiichi1530it was 301 set by Klay Thompson
god damn that’s actually a pretty good comparison
We see that Storm and the Next Gens took over the racing league. Storm's winning streak is so huge and he became the first rookie to win the Piston Cup in his first season and became rookie of that year. Later on, he attempted to make record breaking top speeds and his top speed is 214 mph which would make him unbeatable. Even though Lightning is older, he may not be as fast as Storm, but he can be smarter than Storm, just like what Smokey said.
Francesco is faster than him.
@@richconsparartbro4971yeah but he had an advantage with the dirt road
Yup
@@richconsparartbro4971, also Francesco is lighter and is designed for straightaways and technical turns when the road is made of tarmac, but not for off-road.
A fun theory i've seen is that mcqueen had slowly gotten slower over the years, as i believe it was stated in cars 2 mcqueen had gone over 216. The same theory says that after mcqueen crashed, he had gained his speed back once he was repaired. He only switched out with cruz to give her a chance to win.
I believe that cars like humans have their prime time. Lightning had that time for quite a bit. Besides he did what was best in the third movie. Giving Cruz the chance to become a racer!
You know it's a good choice when a veteran practically gives his spot to a rookie. Cruz could not have had a better integration into the racing world.
I mean that's pretty much it I guess. Lightning's prime time just passed and during his selfish journey throughout the third movie trying to keep his spot in the racing world and surpass Storm he realises that and decides it was time to retire from racing and bet on the next generation and become a mentor for Cruz just like Doc was his mentor as well.
Let's be real tho, nobody cared abt cruz lol, weoon even kno lil bro
@@rodrigosezequiel to bad that he couldn't upgrade he'd would have easily won his races once he to used to his new specs in terms of car racing age isnt much of a factors just depends how good you perform
I disagree... Yes Lightning did have his prime time but no, he didn't have it for "quite a bit"
Case in point - Strip Weathers, competing with several generations of cars... Competitively.
Im honestly just very glad you included the Planes movies, Istg its like everyone forgot that ever existed
I think the Planes movies are actually pretty awesome. I think they absolutely deserve to be included in these kind of discussions!
I think that just like humans cars have their prime and by cars 3 lightning was a legend much like the King was on the First film. The logic conclusion for his story was shown: become a mentor for a Future legend.
No sh1t, but the point of the video is what's the objective logic behind that in the cars world.
Obviously, but that also raises the question of if that were the case, why wasn't Lightning portrayed like he was? King was obviously a lot older, like Lightning was, but he was implied to still be consistently defeating the younger racers and being right there with em. McQueen should've been like that in the film.
I honestly think it sucks they made Storm a stereotypical douche. I think he would have been a more interesting character if he were a nice guy, who is just part of this next generation of racers taking over. Make time the real enemy of Lightning's story.
That actually sounds like a good idea but they had to reinforce Cruz’s backstory somehow.
They had a good chance to do it in the Storm Chasing book but still made him a douche
I would've enjoyed it if he was a huge fan of Lightning who was just...the one to put him to rest. So to speak.
I like this idea more than what we got. If you want a final opposite and opposing force to McQueen, then it would mostly be a humble racer instead of another snarky dude with an ego. That’s exactly how McQueen at the beginning of the movie was, and we already saw this exact type of antagonist in cars 1 and cars 2 with that F1 racer guy.
He already was, he just got that racing attitude!
your theory reminds me of the 2005 film Robots. Robots start out as baby models then “grow up” by installing new parts
Edit: thanks for all the likes
Thats my favorite movie!
"Upgrades people, upgrades"!
Was just going to say exactly that. I only watched it once, but the concept is fresh in the back of my mind!
I was thinking the same thing the whole time, heck that's what I thought years ago
Just like every athlete in life people get old and eventually retire
Yeah most people but not Mike Tyson 😂
Is it because he's Black?
I also like to think that due to Lightning's age, it's more difficult to get upgrades for him. I'm thinking they can treat upgrades from anything like accessories to full on surgery.
Fun Fact:
Some of the Racers from Cars 1 appear again in Cars 3 as veterans with different models, while still being the same racer. An example is Spare Mint Racer Ernie Gearson, who appears in Cars 1 as a 70s-80s body model racer, but appears again in Cars 3 with a more rounded body that is completely different to his old one. How this fits into the theory I don’t know. I think how it works is that Stock Cars can upgrade to other Stock Cars models, but can not upgrade to next gens due to vast mechanical distances. Why the lemons can’t upgrade while these racers could, inconsistent writing ig 🤷.
Also in cars 2 the yellow car racer
I always wonder why Lightning didn’t improve to beat Storm, he even had experience.🤔
Yes exactly what I was thinking!
@@IsaacCarlson would of been awesome if he showed up with his cars 2 look. That's prime mcqueen
Simply put, he couldn't. He definetly beats him at experience on racing. But he just cant physically keep up with storm because storm's build is just better than his. The slick design is made for better aerodynamics unlike old gens like lightning.
He wasn’t in his prime anymore, it’s like LeBron and young players
Geee I wonder why my iPhone X isn't as good as iPhone 15 despite the monthly update i'm receiving 🤯 this whole video in entirity is useless and a waste of time. McQueen will never ever beat Storm nor Ramirez despite his experience and intense practice because it was very clearly explained in the movie Storm is built with new modern advanced technology parts 🤦
As an engineer I can tell you this: the biggest problem with upgrading old cars is compromise with their identity. For example lets take the Golf GTI, it was one of the first compact sportscars ever manufactured. To keep up with modern day compact cars u could swap Engines and stuff... but the space is limited. You could just grow the frame by changing the chassis and body, but by doing that it will loose its identity, that can't be called a Golf anymore. This happened to many cars that came from tuning lines and not from the Manufacturers themselves. Shelby made some models where they remade the body and the car had a new Identity. Mercedes AMG borders that philosophy as well.
You swap in an Audi/VW 20V racing engine for 500hp. This assumes a racing budget.
Ive wanted a custom 1967 CHEVROLET IMPALA for so many years but I wanted the interior to be modernized automatic and you just helped me understand that its as possible as it is complex….I guess Ill just let it go lol
@@ElusivEnigma you could do it yourself for 20k+base car in good shape. It would prob be 40-60k to have it done in a shop(very few I'd trust).
The ship of theseus theory pretty much
@@ElusivEnigma swaping to Automatic is not as hard as an engine swap, but you will need money for it. If you want to do that by yourself, you need knowledge about how the car is built and the compatibility of certain gear boxes. Also since it is Automatic, you might need knowledge about the electrics as well, depending on which gearbox and transmission you use. But it is easier to learn how to drive manual. And believe me when I tell you that it is really easy. I learned it in literally 15 minutes.
Fun how I just rewatched Car 1,2,3 just now
Oh perfect! This was a great time to make this video then!
@@IsaacCarlson Hey Isaac just wanted to touch on the fact that some of the veteran racers from cars 3 were actually the same people in the original (eg Murray Clutchburn) Cars so therefore they were able to change not only their shape and transform into newer gen models
These movies are the kind of thing where you really don't wish going in depth, because prize for returning will be more questions then at it's start. Anyone else feels this way or i'm just fully hot air?
Yeah I don't think I necessarily want a full explanation. I think it's more fun to just talk about and for the filmmakers to laser in on the story.
@@IsaacCarlson. Sometimes both can be done. But since all this identity politics nonesense infiltrated Hollywood, it can't be seporated.
@@IsaacCarlson. There are many cases where both have been achieved. I'm just saying that sometimes, it's better to leave things to the audiences imaginations!
McQueen only needed 10 percent less drag coefficient, 16 MPH more, less drag and more aerodynamics and needs to have the optimal race line and exploit the numbers to beat Storm.
Makers where to lazy to give McQueen a full makeover and tech advancement they screwed the movie
I think it’s important to acknowledge the parallels to actual racing, not only NASCAR but things like F1 and Indy also. Generations of racers come and go, quick on their day, but when the new blood comes in and their age starts to show, eventually they have to hang it up because the sport outgrows them regardless of their legendary status. Motorsports always evolve also. NASCAR today sure isn’t the same as it was two decades ago nor F1 was the same then as it is now.
New technology and ideas also play a role. When Michael Schumacher came into F1, he brought with him a training regimen that wasn’t very practiced by the elder racers of his time. In the 50s, anyone could race. But by the 90s and now the 2000s, you have to be in peak shape to endure the conditions and forces that comes with racing.
Age plays a role too but drivers like Fernando Alonso show that fitness and the will to keep going is key even when you keep racing past your “prime” (42 years old in a sport averaged by 20-30 year old racers).
My running theory for as to why he didn’t upgrade is because obviously the racing he’s in is their version of NASCAR which carries a list of regulations for the cars. Because he’s not a next-gen model car, he has to follow the regulations of his veteran class. Therefore he cannot simply be upgraded because it’s against the rules. My other theory being plot.
true everyone thinks its simple to get upgrade just like that is illegal in nascar too
One of the things I have a hard time keeping in mind is that at this point it's implied that lighting is as old as the king was in cars 1. also Storm reminds we of how arrogant lighting was before radiator springs. the only difference is that storm knows the value of teamwork and is alot more passive aggressive
Tbh the worlds of Cars is confusing.
Like:
how are cars born?
how do cars die?
is there kids cars?
Why do cars need to eat?
can they drink anything else?
can a car age?
whats insides a car like?
and whats their organs?
AHHHH!!! SO MANY QUESTIONS!!! 🫨
its simple bro everything is explained in movies
just incase you don't know. If you open the door on the car, it will reveal their brain.
Half of those questions are already answered.
There are kid cars cause you see a lil one with his parents (I think) in the first film shouting "LIGHTING MCQUEEN" it's actually very cute.
Isaac is over here solving one of life’s biggest mysteries, good job Carlson😉😁
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This is something i wonder ever time i watch cars 3.
Wasn't it also becuase lighting started to overthink racing when it came to new gen racers appearing on the scene especially when Jackson Storm arrived?
Its like smoky said, its funny what a racer can do when he isn't overthinking things, and lighting even nearly beat cruz during training with smokys techniques.
Speaking of Lightning McQueen, do you still plan on doing a full backstory on him at some point?
Oh yes I'm sure I'll go do Lightning McQueen at some point!
When @@IsaacCarlson
@@IsaacCarlson Great! I can’t wait to see it!
ned wheeler done that i dont if its true what he said
upgrades are indeed possible we see how the tuner cars seemed to be running mods, especially Snot Rod fitted with a huge supercharger
Theory idea when shrek goes into the alternate timeline in shrek forever after what happened to fairy godmother. Does she just go about business as normal? Does rumple make her disappear in a different way than in shrek Two, or does she disappear because there's a lack of hope, faith, and nonbelief?
I been thinking about that as well since she wants her son and Fiona together throughout the 2nd movie.
So they are sort of like hyper advanced arthropods. Like it's a different level of hermit crab. Like they can grow bigger. But at some point it's just not practical or necessary and obviously it is incredibly difficult to grow smaller.
I love how he says that McQueen is prob just too old to drive competitively anymore. But decides to go deeper and find the real reason, just for him to say he’s too old
I honestly think this works, even though the Cars movies were never intended to have any logic behind them lol. Cars must stay in their adult frame, but they can modify that frame to fit certain jobs, it just cannot change shape much, or have newer/incompatible technology added. Like you said, Mator has had every different look and car parts added, in the book, but his main body shape never changed(Even when he got the shapeshifting thing in Cars 2 but that was just holograms).
Closest we got was the American Spy, being able to change himself from the blue sports car(I don’t know cars, so he may not have been one) into looking like a lemon car, but its clear he had a shell climb over his body to change how it looked on the outside(as his transformations was different to Finns and Mators). Another is Dusty Crophopper had his whole body overhauled, twice, but his frame stayed the same.
He had his wings traded out for better ones, he got landing gear that could be raised and lowered, his propellor changed, he had his wings swapped again, he had a water/retardant tank added on, he had pontoons added, which shifted his landing gear. But his main body shape never changed. Even Harvey and Winnie(the two RVs from Planes Fire and Rescue) talk about different jobs they had when they were younger. Harvey was a taco truck before he was an RV, and Winnie mentions being half a ton lighter when she and Harvey met.
That is such a good point about Dusty! No matter what changes occurred to Dusty, he remained in main shape which shows that everything that keeps him alive is all within that main shape.
The world-building in ROBOTS make more sense than the Cars/Planes world....
My theory is that modifications can be done to any car (just like matter) but are not allowed (or illegal) in Piston Cup or any other racing format and cars have to race with whatever chassis, engine or body they have pre-build.
My theory for death in Cars is that they can live until they keep finding right parts to keep them running. But some cars don't want to. Some cars realised that they have lived their life on their terms and want to die (or get scrapped) as a wish. Stanley's wife is way older than Doc but she is still alive because she want to. Also you need parts to keep running but manufacturers don't make older parts anymore because there is less demand for it.
It's always good to see one of your videos they're incredible and fantastic, Isaac you're the greatest ❤️😊 keep going this way 😍🤩 your explanations are very accurate 💯
Hey Issac can you at any point discuss the Disney Multiverse? Because with the upcoming Disney Jr Ariel series I think it’s something in the Disney fandom that needs to be addressed and explored similar to your explanation on Cinderella 2 & 3.
“Cartholicism”
“Eastern Carthodoxy”
“Cartestant”
Wish Theory: Chernabog was King Magnifico's Teacher.
That seems far fetched. I would think that Wish takes place long after Chernabog's time
@@marcusblackwell2372 but Chernabog is basically Disney Devil, that would mean he would exist before the event of Wish.
@@deshawnedwards6412 I knew that, but what I figured was that by Wish's time, Chernabog hadn't been on the surface of the Earth like he was in Night On Bald Mountain for centuries
This kind of seems like lighting needed to figure out how to push himself like the king it was said the king knew how to push still knowing how keep first in his race against the new gen of his time
(I know this doesn’t really go with the video)
But lighting should have asked the king how he pushed himself to win against the new gen
I know those who could take the challenge of being the All known and proclaimed "Jackson Storm".
There's an old classically animated cartoon (I think it was produced in the 60's or 70's - and I saw it on Cartoon Network back the late 90's) that is aesthetically the same style as cars (windshield are eyes, etc.).
Quick synopsis:
It was about a family of cars with the Dad encouraging his son to follow in his footsteps (or would that be tire tracks) and become a livery cab/taxi. The kid has other aspirations (he wants to become a race-car and compete in the local derby) and get's tricked out as a hot rod - new body, new engine - the whole nine.
He's punished for it and despondent tries to run away from home. The dad tries to chase him but the son is too fast. The dad struggling to keep up overheats and ends up stuck at an intersection with an oncoming train. The kid circles back and helps his dad off the tracks but gets hit instead. Thankfully the kid recovers and he and his family reconcile - he adopts his family profession and reverts his body back to that of a taxi...but he keeps the supped up engine.
When Pixar's Cars was released the style was instantly recognizable. So assuming it follows the lore established by that cartoon, then reproduction is possible...just don't ask me the mechanics of it.
would you happen to know or be able to find out the name of this?
imagine the depression of being a train in this universe
I think Lighting could beat Storm after all but he didnt want beacuse of cruz.Anyway im so excited beacuse you make Cars videos keep up good work bro
Well what about Francesco? He is still 221MPH as far as I remember in Cars 2, and if Cars 4 is really confirmed by Pixar then they better do right this time. I want to see Cruz and Jackson Storm come back but who knows XD
Edit: I do believe in your theory. Technology has been changing for decades and it could only be chosen and maybe Lightning didn't want to change into a new body or "metal" per say. Who knows but I really liked this video. Thanks Issac! :D
I have a theory that Francesco faced a similar case
Since he's based on a 2009-2013 F1 car.
He remained super competitive even when the new gen cars arrived (aka the turbo hybrid 2014-2016) until another gen appeared (2017-2021)
But still racing in other classes
The important thing to learn from this video is that whether you're a vehicle or a human time will be your enemy, and it'll make you old and obsolete when life goes on.
Upgrades aren’t even an unprecedented idea because of the movie Planes. It would have been very interesting to see what an “upgraded” lightning looked like
When you look at Doc Hudson, Lightning McQueen and Jackson Storm's racing careers, it's pretty much history repeating itself
This type of high quality content is why I love TH-cam So much
I think Lighting couldn't beat Storm was because of his psychological issues more than physical issues. When Storm beat him for the first time, his cofidence was affected. Storm's ironies, friends' retirements, and media framing just made it worst. He tried too hard to improve that he can still win just made him had that terrible accident, at the moment, the cofidence he used to have was died out.
McQueen can still overtake most of the next gen racers though
It seems like the "Assembly Line" might be the equivalent of a "Birthing Unit" at a hospital. So think of it as like "Car Healthcare". This also lends itself to both the idea of mechanical repair and the limitation of parts. There's a reason there are waiting lists for organ replacements, it's because there are a limited number of organs that are donated per year. Likewise, there may be limited numbers of parts that can be used for repair.
Technically in Cars 2,Lighting McQueen was a *next gen* racer,with a more simplified and quicker Engine,Also instead of the spoiler that the older generation of nascars have,lighting has a flat and modified spoiler in cars 2,so he could of been a next gen racer,it’s just for some reason,they changed him back to his original design
He probably would’ve been as fast as Storm,if he still has his Cars 2 design.
Umm you know he's a Hybrid right? Emotors provide electric boost.
Thankfully Cars 3 Driven to Win has McQueen beating Cruz and Jackson Storm in the finale regardless of who you play as 🙏
This is how overthinking looks like
That actually makes a lot of sense!😮 Thank you for answering a decades old question man!
Absolutely! I'm glad I could answer it as best as I could for you!
you including the mater with his rocket upgrade reminded me of a Mator short where Mator stared in a drag show against some old legendary cars of really fast models and even with a late start Lighting caught up to Mator with his jet propulsion
Cars in an amazing franchise! Thanks For this isaac! 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
Always wondered why lightning just didn't replace his engine. And if possible, be rebuilt using the lighter materials the next gen racers were using.
I always thought if Lightning just got an engine rebuild, which he probably needed, and maybe a change in aero, he would've been fine. He was still powerful, hitting near 200mph.
Thing is, Jackson had electric motors, probably a different axle ration, and a wing typically makes less drag than a spoiler. He probably made morr hp, too. There seems to not be a lot of regulation compared to real world NASCAR, since King(a banned 60s car) was racing cars from the 80s(like Chick) and what seemed to be late 90s, early 00's. Which means Lightning probably isn't that old, he'd hafta be at least a young adult in the first movie. Say the same thing applies that a car at 25 is considered a historic vehicle, they age somewhat quickly, being 25 the equivilent of a senior or middle aged car, he's probably only about 6 to 10 years old by the third, and he was very capable against other race cars that have way better aero, horsepower or both. He beat an F1 car and several LMP cars, not to mention as a stock car, he's heavier than some of the other racecars, like the WRC cars. Plot was against him to move a narrative for him to experience both what King and Doc experienced so his rookie[who should've also lost] could move on. She wasn't even a racecar, she's a generic sports car with less power. If I recall; her and Sally have about the same hp, which is less than Lightning, who has 500 last I checked, which I'm sure 00s stock cars were pushing more than that, especially at bigger tracks, like Talladega.
I watched Cars 3 in the summer of 2017 (I think) and I feel like Lightning couldn't beat Storm because Storm was new car coming from a training "car training camp" for rookies to train with the top car trainers and Lightning couldn't keep up because of the training that Storm had at the "car training camp."
Good job trying to bring logic to this film series. Now do you story on how they come to life and dir
That's the next Cars video I want to make is about how cars are alive!
Reminds me of upgrading PCs. They eventually cannot be upgraded anymore better because the newer parts are just not compatible for older hardware.
Unless you change the motherboard, but then it can't be considered the same PC anymore
this is the best cars theory ive heard, and i've heard many.
Don’t forget that Mack said “thank the manufacturer, you’re alive!” In the first cars movie when they found McQueen
"one more video before bed"
youtube: sends me through a "cars theories worm hole*
Hybrid, light weight materials and a very aerodynamic body, the Tear drop shape for one makes the most difference.
I don’t think they intended it to be this complicated ☠
Mcqueen got that LeLightning McKing James treatment
We need answers!!
Jackson storm sounds like an ev when he first pulls along lightning
Will you explain Jim Hawkins backstory or make a video on what happened to Tarzan and why Disney doesn’t really talk or have much merchandise for it ?
"You think I was built yesterday?"
Your perspective made me think they are like actual cars. The mechanical and electrical side. The “ECM engine control module” stores the brain of the cars and controls the mechanical side of everything, such as parts that would need to be swapped out, or aging into a new compatible body style. Each body having its own electrical harness. As the body styles get newer, wiring harnesses get updated, and your ecm is no longer compatible with how the wires in the wiring harness transfer data, the data that controls the parts, thus obsolete.
Your theory is the best
It wasn't because lightning couldn't do it, it's because that is what the writers wanted to go with... Very unfortunate we couldn't see more of lightning dominating the track
At this point here 7:37 - 7:46 I started to hear the end sequence of Robots 2005 in my head.
God been years I've seen this movie.
I mean it makes sense it kind of how younger athletes perform better than older athletes with better strategies and techniques nowadays it’s kind of hard for an older athlete to replicate that at the age they are and how their body and training was fit best to what they learned when they were young
similar to how lewis hamilton has 7 cups and has experience still struggles to win against verstappen
the fact that the cahracter of jackson applies to lightning and hudson is actually really coool
"I asked my old man how I'd know it was time to quit. You know what he said? The youngins'll tell ya."
This has been bugging me for 18 since I was 8, thanks for explaining.
So I have an idea that may get some gears turning so to speak in this regard. So we all remember the robots movie that came out X number of years ago. With the late Robin Williams and many other great voice actors. Anyway in that they do show how kids are “born”. And grow up. They are built by their parents, more or less boxed up, kind of weigh, and even taking some facial features or other inherited traits from their parents, like the eyes, the ears, etc.… what if it was the same way in the cars/planes?
Bro went around the world to explain that cars grow up when in cars 3 Cruz herself said "I grew up watching you on TV" and Cruz's Mom had once told her "Be small cruz..."
You missed the fact that some of the veteran racers from cars 3 were actually the same people in the original (eg Murray Clutchburn) Cars so therefore they were able to change not only their shape and transform into newer gen models
One real world reason for this stems from NASCAR reasons. It's basically like what you said at the end for your first reason: there'd be a bit of pushback. Existing cars can't just be upgraded to keep competing, as it goes against the NASCAR regulations.
The recycled into tractors was a reincarnation joke. Not something to be used for a theory😂
Before he became a better racer neither he and his late mentor are modified of major enhanments McQueen's speed is 198 which isn't fast enough to catch storm storm's speed is 214 A new generation of racers arrived in the racing world as the veterans got replaced and McQueen feared being left on the sidelines that got him involved in a wreck Smokey explained McQueen can't be fast as storm but smarter than him and found new purpose of becoming a mentor as Cruz improved her capabilities carrying on the legendary racers before her🏁🏆
Add turbos, V10 60', and those grippy tires on drag vehicles lol
edit: and maybe bigger gearbox lol
This is such a good video
It was a story to tell, and a good one: everyone wanes in their profession.
Do take note that in Planes 2, Dustys gearbox got broken and they had stopped producing his type of gearboxes, and apparently upgrading Dusty or simply just building a new one Identical or very Identical to his gearbox was not possible. Although apparently he did get a new gearbox or was it repaired? I cannot remember, but the one who did it said that it was ''the hardest thing'' he had ever done, so maybe that's why. Because it simply is just super hard and may come with risks.
I believe in accordance to the Pixar theory everything that happens in the Cars movies are the same thing that happened in the humans time
I dont think the creators of cars expected anyone to analyze it this deeply
Cool video and interesting, Isaac. Thanks.
You're welcome Steve!
I'd like to think all that Mater upgrade thing was just animators having fun
Imagine dying because a company stopped producing replacement organs for you
Another reason why I personally believe lightning could’ve been upgraded is because Todd Marcus (the old NoStall racer” was in both cars 1 and 3 but with 2 separate chassis builds!! I believe lightning could’ve definitely beaten storm and still carried the potential
Nanobots would be an interesting answer to all these questions
Can it be like the animated movie robots? Like they create parts for certain generation then stop to make parts for a new one.
Yeah I talked about this idea a lot more in my video about Doc Hudson's death th-cam.com/video/OCYNKGbWMu8/w-d-xo.html. I do think they stop making parts, but I don't believe that's the main reason that cars inevitably die.
First thanks for the response it’s an honor to get a response from you. I think they because they just reach the end of thier cycle. But cars can live for a long time. If you look at the first movie. Sally says that the high way was built about 40 years ago and the others cars look like they barely aged. Also like I said before it can also be like they could just reached the end of thier life cycle. It can also be the rust it can also be a factor. Rust is like cancer to cars.
Also i have some ideas for videos you could use if you want. I’m not asking for money or anything I just want to do it because I enjoy your videos.
@@Beymaster20247that would explain since they are sentient and not biological creatures.
Love your videos isaac❤❤❤❤❤
Bro imagine if he just turns into a c8
My guess, Jackson was cheating
No, he's a new-gen car.
@@noebody8429 I know that part, but what if he was secretly using an illegal kind of fuel to make himseld go faster?
Bro enabled speed hax real
One thing that rubbed me the wrong way was that both the King and Doc were said to constantly defeat rookies in races. We even see this in the first one, where Lightning and Chick Hick, despite both being obviously younger and faster, they were rarely able to pass and couldn't get the King out of their way. Smokey says that Doc Hudson humiliated new generations of cars through his experience. Why wasn't McQueen treated that way in Cars 3? Why is such a great racer who is implied to have broken the King and Doc's records, not like them? Why wasn't his experience enough to keep him ahead like King and Doc? It doesn't make any sense to me.
There’s gonna be that moment in life where you just aren’t the best anymore and gotta know when it’s time to let the new group come along. Like McQueen’s still good, but the new cars are running the game now.
