The second last episode was the business but the last one was a fight choreographer's wet dream. Kicked off exactly like Begbie in Trainspotting. Ah but the bad thing... The bad thing was fucking crazy.
Saw it coming but vice versa so was caught wildly off guard when it went that way. Have a theory or two about season 3. I will lose my God Damn mind if Terry Silver shows up. |

I think that is a valid and potentially popular opinion. I certainly know what you mean, the build towards it was so brilliant and keeps us all guessing.
The look of shock, shame and guilt on his face was everything that that other franchise got so badly wrong. Unsurprising to think that one of the ingredients in a perfect show really is love. |

It's weird how people won't watch the show when I tell them about it. I guess people just need to discover shit on their own.

If you hadn't seen it, it would be very easy to disregard as yet another pointless reboot. People aren't prepared for it man.
I genuinely didn't even remember how much I loved The Karate Kid until I got bored enough to watch it so I do get why people might find it hard to get up for. I mean all they need is one little taste and it all comes flooding back. |

I enjoyed the first episode, but I could also see how people wouldn't be hooked by it as well. I mean, you're establishing a whole new premise so it's difficult to show what you're going to do in that one ep.

You're putting too much on Sam. Robbie caused just as many problems for Daniel and Johnny.

Just ordered the original movies.
Cobra Kai awakened something inside me which long lay dormant. Probably going to lose my mind until season 3 comes out. Too good. The show is too damned good. |

lol I watched Karate Kid II.
My main issue with the movie which is an OKAY watch, is that you go from the first movie which is just great in a lot of ways, and you follow it up with what would be a made-for-tv effort if not for the success of the first movie. You still have the awesomeness of Morita and Macchio...as well as the awesome scene with Miyagi pwning Kreese, but I feel like going to Japan really neutered the energy of the franchise. In saying that, the under-delivery of these sequels is legendary in itself and plays into the overall lore of Cobra Kai. Like how Daniel brought up being embarrassed by his stint AS a Cobra Kai. I didn't notice it, but read a review where it pointed out that it's a nod to the quality of the movie being embarrassing. Also, the joy of those movies isn't in them being Oscar contenders. It's literally just the awesomeness of karate fighting that makes them fun. Still, the drop in quality after the original is still frustrating. Particularly given the likeability and talent of Macchio and Mortia. |

Karate Kid Part 3 freakin rules and is the first one I ever saw. I told a girl I knew karate after that, then I feebly kicked a wall at shin height and she got bored and walked off.
Terry Silver is in Karate Kid 3, he's the grease that Kreese needs. Imagine if they get Hilary Swank involved. She could be the role model Sam truly listens to. So many ideas... |

I also loved Karate Kid II and III, although an argument can be made that the movies should have happened in reverse orders (i.e. Going to Japan after the Silver/Kreese/Barnes shit). My only other annoyance with Karate Kid II and III is how Daniel was able to defeat Chozen, yet struggled mightily with Mike Barnes. In theory, Chozen would have been able to beat the living fuck out of Barnes given that Chozen was training military soldiers in Japan. |

I really enjoyed Cobra Kai II. The fight scene in the last episode was epic. Stingray is surprisingly one of my favorite characters on the show, with Johnny and Miguel being my two favorites. The only character that I don't like that much and haven't really connected with is Rob Keane. I suspect that a lot of other fans feel the same way. Given the way Cobra Kai II ended, I think Robbie will be the biggest heel on the show now.

I watched the original trilogy again last night. I think I might do a break down of why The Karate Kid 3 is both the best and worst franchise film ever made.
If one of those "Let's Play" people hasn't done Karate Kid 3 yet they are idiots. It's pure quote bait and almost none of the plot makes sense. Cartoonish evil galore, it is as outlandish as Rocky 5 but with no fight budget. It's amazing. |

Terry Silver has to show up in season 3. He's pure evil. Kreese isn't even as evil as he is.

My perfect season 3 would be Johnny and Daniel teaming up to fight Martin Kove who brings in Terry Silver.
Meanwhile Elizabeth Shue turns up and wrecks hearts all over again. I still feel like Robyn Lively is a forgotten love interest. She was hot back when I was a kid. |

I forgot about Mike Barnes. If they get Barnes back I would erupt into joy as I watched it.

My in laws got me the DVD set of seasons 1 and 2 of Cobra Kai for XMas. It even came with a Karate KId headband that is reversable to the Cobra Kai logo.
Now I watched both seasons when they aired on Youtube. ANd the show is great. It is odd while I grew up in the 80s,turned 6 in 1980,I was never a huge Karate Kid fan. I think part of it was we didn't get cable until 1990,and if I wanted to rent a movie I had already seen my parents would make me pay for the rental. SO unlike most people my age I didn't see Karate Kid 100 times when TBS or whatever was airing it all the time. Hell I think I have seen the first film maybe 3 times and the second and third ones only once. |
