re: Cobra Kai discussion thread (SPOILERS)

I'm not so sure, I feel like they've hinted at Johnny and Daniel being able to get along. With the return of Kreese, someone mentioned earlier that they can see him taking back over Cobra Kai, but I think maybe he starts his own dojo when Johnny won't let him be a part of it. I don't think Kreese takes back Cobra Kai because that's what the series is named. I think Johnny convinces Daniel to merge Myagi-Do with Cobra Kai to battle Kreese who recruits Kyler and his goons.

One thing I've realized is that we've all been deprived of Billy Zabka all these years. He's been great and is my favorite part of the show. I hope this reignites his career.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good this show was. Sure, it has it's cheesy moments, but it is supposed to be that way. Johnny is awesome on the show and easily my favorite. This one easily gets picked up for another season. It will single-handedly bring an insane amount of new Youtube Red subscriptions.

Johnny didn't even lose a point his junior year!

I think the point of the show is to display how everyone is the hero from their own point of view, but can become the villain from other's points of view. It also shows how ruthlessness can turn someone from the hero to the villain. Miguel allowed his emotions and insecurities get the best of him, repeating Johnny's mistakes as a teen. In the match, he exploited his opponent's injury, against his sensei's wishes. This show is about how in real life, there really aren't too many clear cut heros and villains. Our perceptions of others are formed based off of our own experiences, and we often fail to have the opportunity to see things from their side. The scene with Danny and Johnny test-driving the car drove this point home. They both had very distorted views of the other's childhood that colored their perceptions of the other all the way into adulthood. Heck, they realized they actually had a ton in common, and if it weren't for the fact that they were fighting over a girl (who ended up dumping both of them in the end), they probably would have been friends. However, fate just kept throwing them judo-chops. Johnny and Danny had no idea Danny was training Johnny's son. Miguel had no way of knowing Danny's wife had taken his gf's phone away. He was also too chicken to knock on the door at dinner and find out that Johnny's son was only there because he's Daniel's employee and mentee. These subtle lines between who is "good" and "bad" are what make this series so f&%king special. It's the most bingeable show I've seen since "Silicon Valley" and the best new show since "Westworld".

Have an upvote sir.

I think pretty boy Johnny may end up banging Daniel's wife.

Anyone else get irrationally angry that the tournament kept recognizing Daniel as a 2 time champ but didn't mention Johnny winning the same amount of times once?

I kept wondering as well why they never mentioned Johnny being a past winner but I guess Daniel is on the tournament board and a big time business owner so they have to show him respect. I mean they had never even heard of Cobra Kai until Johnny made the board meeting.

I felt like they were forshadowing some kind of relationship between the two, but never expanded on it this season. Maybe it's something we'll see in Season 2. I mean, she was the one who called him a "pretty boy", convinced the boys not to fight, and convinced Daniel to give him a used car to make amends.

Okinawa, do you even karate kid bro? Gtfo

I'm conflicted. I was pulling for Diaz all the way until the final. Johnny is awesome though.
