      The dialogue used here is very deliberate: Cruz felt she didn't sound like the other cars; didn't look like them, and so she didn't belong.

      She asks Lightning how he felt at his first race; if he doubted her could do it. And he tells her it never occurred to him that he couldn't.

      Cruz says her parents told her "dream small, or not at all". Which is heartbreaking even without the rest of the context. But just -

      - the fact that the film takes the time to contrast Cruz's self-doubt, the way *others* doubt her, with Lightning's confidence & belonging -

      - is, I think, really fucking important. As the introduction of an older female racer, who talks about having to fight to race b/c gender.

      Which, look. It's one of those points that has my inner worldbuilder yelling BUT THEY'RE CARS, but the whole fucking premise is an analogue.

      And when you get to the end, to Lightning's big race - spoilers here, obvs - & he sees Cruz dismissed, he *gives her his place in the race*.

      Cruz beats the douchebro rookie who's been making Lightning feel shit, and gets accepted as an awesome racer by her new peers.

      The whole film is about legacy; about what it means to be valued for who you are, how you matter beyond appearances & the superficial.

      Lightning is dismissed for being too old & hurt; Cruz is dismissed for the thinly veiled Cars-verse version of being Latina in a SWM sport.

      It's not a comeback-kid narrative about Lightning getting Extra Awesome; it's about valuing the next generation, helping new people succeed.

          So happy to read this thread. Cars 2 was a mess.

          In the 1st Cars, Lightning learns that sportsmanship is more important than winning. In Cars 3, he learns that legacy isn't a solo act.

          Both films end with Lightning giving up a shot at temporary greatness to do something far better & more memorable: helping someone else.
