When I first heard and saw the trailer for Cobra Kai, I think most of us let out a collective yawn and feared the worst.
Great, another reboot sequel that ruins the original.
Not only has this show surpassed my doubts, but it's one of the few today that is written with respect to the past characters and actually makes the original films much more fulfilling when you watch them again.
Seeing Daniel team up to take down Silver with his past rivals was surreal.
Chozen steals the show with a heartfelt and passionate performance.
Johnny once again continues to redeem himself and is played brilliantly by Zabka
I will say they dropped the Ball with Mike though. He was a major player and even with his tease in an earlier season. His appearance was more than a glorified cameo and ofc Is Dismissed so Johnny can have his moment.
It was great to see Sean again though. Everyone slips back into their roles like the pros they are.
I hope he is put to good use next season.
The show has reached anime levels of goofiness though. Legit, everyone is having DBZ talks with one another. And I'm all here for it. You cannot take this show seriously.
Terry is pure evil and it's nice to see a villain that truly is a villain. No watering down here. Thomas Ian griffin Hams it up to 11 and brings his A game.
Seeing Daniel finally get his big fight with him was fantastic.
The house fight turned into Kill Bill haha but I'm all for it.
I didn't care for Da-Eun really. Felt she was a bit too one note imo.
The language got a well deserved upgrade this time around too. Everyone dropping F bombs, it's good. This show needs it and the gloves are off with the stakes.
Everyone finally has some much needed redemption. From Robby and Miguel making amends to Tory having her Vegeta moment, Sam Facing her demons. It's all coming together for Daniel's Dojo.
Kreese's arc was my favorite of course. Seeing him in a therapist office was something else. And you have that moment where he finally lets down his guard and beards his souls..or does he?
I was clapping/laughing when he made his exit and Al thought it was completely absurd, the man deserved his moment above all else.
One thing that bugged me was just how easily convinced people were with Terry. I mean, didn't his company Blatantly dump toxic waste, well anyways suspension of disbelief is your friend around here.
Nice to see Robin Lively return to give Daniels wife some much needed perspective and clarity.
I couldn't watch this series fast enough. And although everyone should be in jail at this point, lol this is still a fun show for true fans of the Karate kid series.
I can't imagine it going beyond one more season though. Better to end on a high note. They set up the ultimate world wide tournament, where everyone will get to show their skills. Exciting!
What is Kreese's endgame? Hmm interested to see.
Will the legend Michael Ironside return? Haha only good part of 4. And still no Dutch cameo, I'm hopeful for next time.
Until next year Cobra Kai.
