#(just a tiny rant: yes i did say that why is Lightning confused by Mater but tbf)

I just rewatched the Cars franchise (yes, ig also due to the new show) and wow (Owen Wilson's "wow"), one of the most hilarious character traits of Lightning McQueen that I realized is that he's so SO childish. This dumbass literally dreams about being some wierd meta flying (cars universe-)alien fighting machine once Dinoco sponsors him. Pouts when he's upset. Hellbent on doing the things he loves (i.e. racing). Extremely competitive. Gets a nightmare about frank demolishing his race and that's enough to get him "I NeED tO GeT oUTtA hErE!". Literally had no shame at all saying 'I love you' to Sally (cars 2), Mater (Cars on the road) and (I'm sure) to eVerYOnE in Radiator Springs. "MaTeR, YoU ArE ThE BOoMB!". Surrounded by obviously new gen racers and still races. Dances in the middle of nowhere just to get his mentee to come with him. Loves dinosaurs. "Oh, Let's scare those folks of my mountain!" Lightning *scared 0.001 seconds ago*: YES COUNT ME IN!. Literaly could be excited about anything except clowns.

and HE'S confused by Mater...
