Well, that's one of the reasons why this movie doesn't come close to matching the first. There are plenty more. I believe the producers were very surprised at how popular Mater turned out to be in the first movie, so they wanted to exploit that in this one. But they failed to realize that McQueen is the star, no matter what. They listed the main cast credits twice, and once time they even had Larry the Cable Guy above Owen Wilson. Nonsense. Mater is supposed to compliment McQueen. No matter how great the ketchup tastes, you don't bury the hot dog in it because of that. That ruins everything.
Pixar caught lightning in the bottle with Cars, and obviously they didn't catch it twice. I do hope, however, they learn their lessons, listen to what the fans liked and didn't like about this movie, and make a great Cars 3.
