Is this the rhythm of a super-long sequel?

The high-energy spoilers ahead, please watch as you see fit.

In fact, the plot of Cars3 is very simple. It can be briefly described as follows: a Hong Kong reporter who has experienced many battles, oh no, American racing cars, because they are old, they are not as fast as young people, so they went to three elders after twists and turns. Asked for life experience, under the guidance of the elders, he became less naive, but also realized that the back waves of the Yangtze River had already risen, and a hundred flowers were blooming, which was a blessing, so he put his (probably) last The game was handed over to a young rookie with a higher level of knowledge, and he honorably retired to the second line and became the steward.

What pleased me the most about this movie (but most dissatisfied a lot of people) was its ending - McQueen let Yin, take a back seat and give up the game to Sister Cool. This ending was unexpected to me, but it was completely within reason of the film's design. At the beginning of the movie, McQueen was defeated several times by the new technology sports car Black Storm, and his contemporaries also retired one after another, showing McQueen's hardware, irreparable old age, and explaining McQueen's physical environment. It is necessary to retire; in the middle of the story, McQueen came to the place where his master, Dr. Lantian, became famous, and chatted with several elders. He learned that the happiest time for his master was not when he was young and racing, but after becoming an elder. The time of teaching the life experience of the postgraduate McQueen, this stage hints at McQueen's psychological changes, that is, the rise of the back waves, he should let the virtuous, and here explains the rationality of McQueen's retirement on the spiritual level; In the last training, he surpassed McQueen, showing the strength of the younger generation, and paving the way for the plot of McQueen making a decision to give way in the final official game. In this way, the setting of this ending is quite reasonable, but it is a bit unexpected, because, in my impression, the standard routine of European and American blockbusters should be that the protagonist can win the final game no matter what, and finally in the Everyone's flowers and applause went to the second peak of their life. This ending is hilarious, but isn't it too logical? Skills and experience are indeed very important, but after all, science and technology are the primary productive forces. Forcing the front waves of the Yangtze River to push back the back waves, and letting empiricism defeat the scientific spirit, is this kind of plot setting really good? Isn't it too vulgar?

Last but not least, this ending seems to have replaced the protagonist with a cool sister (after the second part, I said that the Cars series seems to like playing this), please allow me to make a bold guess, and continue to play this way, the Cars series Constantly changing the protagonist, wouldn't it be possible to make American hero dramas into groups? In this way, I seem to have seen Disney's new super-long series again. Although this is difficult for some people to accept, personally, I am quite looking forward to it, hehe.
