Controversial Opinion: Cars 2 is Better than Cars 1

Edit: Title should've been "I LIKE Cars 2 Better than Cars 1". I know that saying one movie is better than the other is subjective and not what I was trying to convey, I honestly just meant that I personally like it better. Sorry, my bad

There's terrific action scenes and the soundtrack is so dope! They get away with an amazing amount of death and violence because it's cars and not humans. There's literally a scene where the evil professor describes in detail how he is causing a car's body to basically combust from the inside, describing things like how the death ray is forcing oil up through the engine, which to me just sounds like a super graphic description of forcing blood up into someone's brain and causing a brain hemorrhage. There's a moment that's played for comedy where Mater says that he's able to pull out a car's engine and show it to him before he stalls, which is something that only adults would get as a reference to showing your victim their own beating heart. The movie is actually crazy dark, while also managing to keep most of that darkness pretty well disguised so as to not disturb children, who are mostly distracted by the explosions and exciting music.

It's legitimately funny too. Mater responding to Finn's British intelligence by saying he's average intelligence will never not be hilarious! There's so many witty one-liners. And the rivalry between the hippie van and the army Humvee actually being something that saves the day in the day in the end is literally terrific. Plus, the car puns are really funny! Big Bentley, The Popemobile, Gastow's being a reference to Gusteau's from Ratatouille, the queen knighting Mater with her freaking antenna!

Also, I don't know why so many people seem to dislike Mater, he's honestly the best!

I know a lot of people criticize the plot of the film being about the oil industry vs electric cars, but to be entirely honest, that always seemed to me as the most natural scheme the villains could have in a world where cars are the only people, rather than some kind of deep-seated message or agenda

I refuse to believe I'm the only person out there with this opinion. Cars 2 is literally incredible, and while I don't hate Cars 1, I do tend to find it kinda slow and boring. Anyone else agree with me?
