In light of a lot of my recent Mater-centric posts, I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment that Mater should become the most changed character after McQueen's crash in Cars 3. Not that I want him to change I mean, his goofball, cheerful attitude was what first made him my favorite character - but its because, in my mind anyway, happy characters have arguably the most potential for diverse character growth. I tend to fall in love with happy characters more than others - heck, my favorite characters list includes Mater, Joy, Pinkie Pie, Lego Robin, and Lucy Wilde from Despicable Me - mostly because l enjoy their positive, optimistic dispositions (and in this day and age, everyone needs way more positivity). But then I realize that there's another reason why I love happy characters: it's when, during their stories they're forced not to be happy It's one thing to be happy when everything is going smoothly, but how does a happy character react when things don't go their way? What do they do when they're faced with something out of their control? That's where the character growth comes in. As we follow a happy person in their story, their reactions to conflicts and how to resolve them are what really make their character. They could shut down in the face of negativity, continue on their merry way (though that tends to be the most destructive option), or - my favorite they could use search for solutions they never even considered before, and, in turn, gain a more mature, developed understanding of the world. They don't have to switch into a pessimist they just understand that not everything is happy, that that's normal, and that it's okay to feel negative emotions once in a while This is what I hope happens to Mater in Cars 3. After watching his best friend almost die, there's no way he can go back to his regular state of mind - none of them can. He can become devastated - he can be thrown into grief but he can also utilize that grief and give McQueen the most support he could ever get. I mean, Cars 2 already proved that Mater does have a diverse emotional range - in just the Big Bentley scene alone, he flips through panic, guilt, self-doubt, full-blown anger, hatred inspiration, and determination; most of these feelings, we never even got a glimpse of back in the first Cars. Sure, that film could've been much more polished, but it's still there, and I sincerely hope we get to see more of that in the third film
