AVATAR 3

Perverts Guide to Ideology

The Trunkovs are modeled after the ZAZ-968 Zaporozhets, a car model from Soviet Ukraine, which means that there was a Soviet revolution in the cars history and by extension so existed the works of Car-le Marx and Vladimir Lemon.

Anyway, were all sick at the house and were just binging kids movies. Cars 2 is so weird. I thought the first 15 minutes were going to reveal to be some in universe movie the cars were watching. Then it just kept going...

Don’t ask what the talking trains were doing in the 30s and 40s.

Don’t ask what the talking trains were doing in the 30s and 40s.

They were off hanging out with the minions, wherever they were.

Don't ask what kind of coverups this guy was involved in:

Pretty ballsy to depict the car-pope as a Lincoln, especially since we all know Ford's opinion on Catholics.

[–] Shinji_Ikari@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Looks more like an old fiat Argenta to me, at least the front.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Pixar wiki says it's based on a BMW New Class. Probably a composite of a few older European coupes.

[–] Shinji_Ikari@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Interesting, the back def does look like an older bmw.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That front badge looks like Lincoln.

[–] Shinji_Ikari@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

It's just a cross because he's Car-Pope.

Yeah, but 9/11 happened in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Liquids wouldn't be banned on DAL flights otherwise.

[–] GeorgeZBush@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

imagining someone telling Bush "a second plane has hit the second tower" in animalese

They killed a lot of cars in this movie, the more I think about it the weirder it is.

[–] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just read half of the plot and wow.

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Every time a gun shows up in this movie I'm totally taken out. Mater is equiped with twin gattling guns at some point.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And then they go back to just racing in Cars 3 lol

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven't seen it yet but that's what I've read, so weird.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

It's alright, but definitely weird. Doubly so since Armie Hammer is the VA for one of the main antagonists lol.

My family's been watching a movie every couple of weeks or so, and Toy Story 4 was a pretty big hit with our preschooler. I'd recommend that one if you all haven't already seen it!

The worst part of Cars 2 is that the villain is disabled people who are upset at being treated as second-class citizens

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Except they are also owners of the world's largest oil field. They are so rich they have themselves towed everywhere. They could just use their wealth to have their parts remanufactured, couldn't they?

Who stopped creating their parts? They imply that someone stopped making them. Its like the writers forgot that this world has zero humans and its all cars.

Also global warming... A central hinge of the plot.

[–] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

With a little tweaking they could have made it something like the movie Robots, where the megacorp that produces the repair parts that everyone needs to survive decides to stop producing them in favor of more lucrative upgrades.

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Mater could have been our working class hero instead he was recruited to work as a spook for the empire.

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Cars 2 was fucked up, they show a crushed up car right at start, made 10 year old me very upset.

Another scene, they show a car being tortured and killed.

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

When that didn't turn out to be a bit or gag I was very surprised. Thankfully my kiddo isn't old enough to put two and two together like that...

[–] Cigarette_comedian@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

My favorite Cars universe fan theory is the one that Jiblatner Mike and Fredrik Knudsen talked about one time, how all the cars are incredibly advanced robots, but once all the humans went extinct, they fell back on some strange base programming that makes them re-enact most of modern history from the ground up. Every single second of it, with a few variables to make the environment fit for cars. Which is why there was a Cars WW2, and a Cars soviet union, and a Cars pope, etc. Only beginning to create their own history after they ran out of instructions. It certainly has massive logic holes in it, but I think it's a fun one.

[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

My favorite part was when they ran over the romanovs

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

if only it existed in ours

[–] sir_this_is_a_wendys@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can someone plz draw Lenin as a car 🥺

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

First we must figure out what kind of car Lenin would be.

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

We need to get cars 2 on hextube someday lol

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do the cars in Cars reproduce? Like are they made in factories or do the cars fuck?

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who can say, but the Italian car in the 2nd movie has a mother.

[–] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

speaking of the Italian car, he is a 1969 fiat 500 he fell in love with a 2008 fiat 500, which makes him a pedobile

[–] JamesConeZone@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

The Car Pope is also in Cars 2, which implies that Car Jesus was crucified in the Cars Universe. Car Pope is later seen in Italy, implying that previous Car Popes cooperated with Car Mussolini to create a Car Vatican

[–] VapeNoir@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

the cars universe is wack

[–] commiespammer@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

It's pretty weird compared to the other two, but I loved it anyways because it was just so goofy
