The series made me love Johnny and hate Daniel btw.

I can't discern if it's by design or result, but Johnny's character is the most deplorable yet likeable role I can recall in quite a while. He's morally bankrupt, machiavellian and obviously abusive. I can't think of one admirable trait he has. But I still like him. Basically the complete opposite for Daniel - responsible, hard working, sense of goodness, values, yet still somehow not likeable.

There is no clear cut Protagonist or Antagonist in the first season. You're supposed to like/dislike them both at times. That will obviously change in season 2.

I was a huge fan of the first 9.5 episodes, but I thought Diaz's turn was weak and way too quick. It sorta felt like they realized halfway in that they loved what they had and needed a second season so they had to scrap the original ending.

I'm glad we get a second season, but the way they did it didn't feel right.

I agree, but I think they had to not knowing if there would be a 2nd season.

That would be hilarious to end Season 2 with Danny getting in legal trouble with Johnny and the Cobra Kai and desperately calls in his cousin Vinny for help. Lol

We instinctively root for the guy down on his luck and not the successful guy who has it all.

Plus, we remember the end of Karate Kid, Johnny wasn't a dick but his sensei was and just instilled that in him. This is the only way Johnny knows how to come back. He says it's the only thing he knows how to do...he sucked and got fired as a repairman.

So it's easy to root for Johnny.

I’ve only seen the first 2 episodes. And thought it was great. Zabka is classic and incredibly underrated as an actor.

I take it it’s worth paying for youtubered?

I bet Martin Love comes back, he has to

Just rewatched Karate Kid and this series has really changed my view of the film. I hate Daniel now. Cocky little shite with his annoying accent. Johnny even hands him the trophy at the end saying great job proving he wasn't so bad.

Daniel-son is actually 5 years older than Mr. Miyagi was in the original. The man is ageless. He could still pass for 35-40.

Rewatched KK part 1 today- Kreese is to blame for Johnny and his crew behavior. Felt bad for Bobby as i thought he could beat Daniel. Also that other asian fighter seemed better than Daniel.

Daniel deserved his arse beat for the Halloween stunt when Johnny was on the toilet lol

You can't own or trademark a style of karate. You can trademark the name of a karate dojo, but Cobra Kai is a style not just a dojo.
