Blog:Cars 4

Cars 4 is a 2025 film released by Walt Disney Pictures and mh:greatestmovies:Pixar Animation Studios.

Plot
Lightning McQueen is busy training Cruz Ramirez when the next Piston Cup race is about to happen. Cruz later becomes the new Dinoco car, leaving McQueen without a new racer, and he finds out he is having kids with his girlfriend. But things later pick up as the Dinoco helicopter crashes, killing Cruz and everyone else. Lightning has the idea of faking the fact that he was the sole survivor of the helicopter, making him get mainstream attention. He is suddenly everywhere in the news for everything, making him resort to drugs.

Why It's a Traffic Collison Wreck

 * 1) The movie dares to start itself off with 9/11, which has nothing to do with the film itself or the Cars franchise in general.
 * 2) *In this universe, it was an inside job and Osama Van Laden promised to pay the planes $100,000 each, but the planes were idiots and killed themselves, except for Dusty, who blew up Fort Knox as well.
 * 3) *9/11 would apparently scar Lightning McQueen, as his entire family was inside the Twin Towers, and he felt worthless, so he decided to start races to "feel good when he beats people", which destroys his character.
 * 4) Lightning himself is an obnoxious prick here:
 * 5) After seeing his former trainee die, he uses it for fame and mainstream attention and shows no emotion.
 * 6) He excessively buys drugs from Filmore, which made him break his promise to Doc.
 * 7) He is abusive to his best friend, his girlfriend, his driver, and later, his children.
 * 8) Other characters are terrible as well:
 * 9) Later in the movie, it is revealed that Lightning wasn't the father of his kids, it was the mail truck. This makes Sally an unlikable character who committed infidelity.
 * 10) Filmore used to be an innocent hippie. Unfortunately, in the 1960s he was drafted into the Vietnam war and would take drugs all the time. But before that he was the bass player for guicarist Jimi Hendtrux (yes, that is an actual pun in the movie).
 * 11) Sarge has WWII flashbacks, which means that car Hitler did the car Holocaust and killed 6 million Car Jews.
 * 12) Flo is abusive to her husband.
 * 13) Doc died of a cocaine overdose, even though he wasn't addicted to it before. It also retcons his real death too.
 * 14) Since it’s boring to be a boat in this universe, all of them are now death boats and try to kill anyone in the water.
 * 15) The songs by Jefferson, "Airplane", "Van Halen" and "The Cars" all suck.
 * 16) Plot hole: If Marty Balin, Eddie Van Halen, Benjamin Orr, and Ric Ocasek are all dead, how did they perform the original songs?
 * 17) At one point, Lightning and Mater go to rob the house of Chick Hicks, just because he was openly suspicious on the helicopter crash, and how it would've killed Lightning if he was in it, you know, just like someone with common sense.
 * 18) *After breaking in to his house, they precede going to the strip club…in a Pixar movie. This might be because of Turning Red.
 * 19) When Sally gives birth to triplets, Lightning is abusive to them.
 * 20) *He whips them with belts when they’re crying, even though they are babies! Somehow, they don’t die from it.
 * 21) **Also regardless, this is a horrible thing to do.
 * 22) Product placement for Fortnite, Citgo, Ford cars, AirPods, etc.
 * 23) Pointless scenes such as the cameo of the Planes characters in the 9/11 scene.
 * 24) Pointless celebrity cameos like:
 * 25) Dick Van Dyke
 * 26) Playne "The Rock" Johnson
 * 27) Paul McCartney
 * 28) Trucker Carlson
 * 29) Kate Hudson (guess who she's related to)

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Some characters are likable:
 * 2) Mack
 * 3) Mater
 * 4) Chick Hicks, who, unlike McQueen, is respectful to his workers and children, despite mostly being the exact same as the first film.
