re: Cobra Kai GOAT Season 4 thread.....

After fighting to the death in Okinawa I am suppose to believe that Daniel was more scared of Barnes than Chozen. Its laughable. That third KK movie was complete trash.

I mentioned this in one of the other season threads, but they really should have put KK3 before KK2.

If you watch them in that order it makes WAY more sense.

Daniel getting punked by Barnes and Silver is much more believable as a follow up to Johnny and CK.

Then once he’d mastered Miyagi’s style in a tournament setting, then MAYBE he’d be ready to take on Chozen in a fight to the death.

Not to mention that it would be more believable that his mom would let him fly to Okinawa with the old handyman if he’d known him over a year instead of just a few months


Anyway, when we rewatched the trilogy before S2, that’s how we watched it and it was much better.

I’m halfway through and I really like the introduction of Silver. He flawlessly fades back into character. The fights with him still look badass too.

For the last 30 years I thought Bad Boy Mike Barnes was also Cody on Step by Step.

Evidently I’ve been living a lie

I was glad to see Hawk win it.

After Miguel got hurt in their match he didn't let it get to him.

meanwhile, Robby got distracted by Kenny and allowed Hawk an escape route.

really appreciated Silver's character. He was the master of deception this season.

The actor who plays Barnes had a long running character on The Bold and the Beautiful soap.

I didn't realize he was on this. I knew he had a long role on General Hospital as A.J. Quartermaine (1993-2014).

They do a really good job of editing the fights with the stunt doubles to make you believe it’s the actual characters doing the fighting. Even with Kreese, who obviously can’t move very well.

Just finished. The return of Silver carried the season. Some of the traditional characters and relationships got a little stale or took a backseat but Terry Silver delivered.

The writers didn’t seem to have any interest in Miguel for the first time in four seasons which I didn’t love. Robby was actually more compelling and I liked the relationship he developed with the black kid.

Johnny’s line about Mr. Miyagi sharing centuries of his family history with Daniel and not even getting any English tips in exchange was the hardest I’ve laughed in awhile. Funniest line in the show’s history and there have been some good ones. Zabka delivered it perfectly.

Did anyone notice that there were a lot of shots of Silver early in the season where a pill bottle was close by? At first I thought well he's old whatever. I get lost in the show and don't always notice obvious clues. Anyone think the implication was that he had a personality disorder of some type and was going off his meds?

Season 4 was great! The fact that some people are analyzing fighting skills of the actors means that the writers did a great job to get everyone invested in the story.

I think it’s been stated by the actors and show runners that the actors who play Hawk and Miguel are the most athletic but that the guy who plays Robby puts in the most work to perfect his fight choreography
