What Makes Him Love Exalted?[]
Cars[]
- While he had a lot of corrupting factors in the first film, he sheds nearly all of them throughout the film, but he can still be arrogant and wrathful. Apart from them, he has reformed a little.
- He both mentally and financially helped the Radiator Springs residents by moving in with them, being one of their first customers in years and helping them become popular again.
- When Chick Hicks deliberately injured The King on the last lap of the Dinoco 400 tiebreaker race, he gave up his chance for a Piston Cup by going back to push the latter across the finish line, even if it meant allowing his rival to claim victory by dirty means.
- Despite not winning the cup, he is still adored by the fans and his friends for his good sportsmanship.
Cars 2[]
- He helped Mater save both London and the World Grand Prix racers by helping to get to the bottom of the identity of the boss of the Lemons, causing Miles Axlerod to be arrested.
Cars 3[]
- His crash is completely played for sympathy, with Jackson Storm indirectly causing it through insults.
- He let Cruz get her chance at being a racecar, nearly sacrificing his career in the process and almost getting sacked.
- He cares a lot about his friends and is willing to take risks for them.
Trivia[]
- Lightning McQueen is one of two Cars heroes (along with Mater) to be LEs.
- Lightning, alongside Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Rex, Mater, and WALL●E, are the only Disney/Pixar LEs.
- Lightning McQueen is considered to be a unique character among the other Pixar protagonists, as although he doesn't win the Piston Cup and helped The King finish his last race instead, it was meant to be a lesson to him and the viewers that humility and friendship is more important than fame, fortune, and winning.
