This is great … I was never totally happy with Failure because it seemed like the Becoming consequence we illustrated wasn’t really a consequence in terms of the story’s argument – it was shown as too “good” of a thing. (Not that I argued for Success though; I had trouble seeing it either way).
In fact, I like how since this is a Stop story, there is an aspect of the Becoming consequence in place, with Radiator Springs dying out, but then because of the Success they turn that around.
(sorry for the late response, I’m away right now)
