re: The new Cobra Kai season drops tonight on netflix

NGL, this show is ridiculous, but I love it

This is where I am at.
Thought Kenny would show up with Cobra Kai as well because of the shittening.

Love Johnny and still hate Daniel.
For some reason I was rooting for Robby after hating him before

What is chosen up to?
He just went back to Okinawa

He may be trying to chase down the real story about Miyagi.

Is the Cobra Kai dojo officially at the tournament? Krease is with that other dojo and they have cobras on their uniforms but they don't say Cobra Kai. They have an earned spot at the tournament so I expected Stingray to show up with Kenny and others who didn't make it. Maybe they still will.

Kenny

he will show up at some point.

maybe through disqualification? or maybe representing cobra kai?

I mean I feel like Hawk deserves a spot. He won the fricking All Valley. It’s like the writers forgot that he beat Robby head to head (even though Robby wasn’t in a good mental state.) he’s a tier below Robby and Miguel but still a damn strong fighter. *edit* he’s in after all.

I was kind of hoping they would drag out the conflict set up from the fact only 6 students could go to the Sekai Taikai but they wrapped that storyline up so fast. I thought it was an excellent writing decision to introduce some conflict because I kind of agree with Johnny…the show seems to have lost its edge the same way Sam and Tory have. And then I watched the final episode. I had a feeling they would set up Robby or Tory to go back to Cobra Kai. Robby wouldn’t have made sense since he told Tory he’s always finishing second and doesn’t have the same prospects for post high school life that the other kids do. He’s also just a natural at both Johnny and Daniel’s style while Miguel has still always leaned more aggressive like Johnny. Robby’s getting the win finally. But as for Tory and Sam, I really hope Tory wins. They’ve put that character through a lot and she’s a lot like Robby, she needs the win after all the shite she’s been through

Yeah Devon is going to get outted and I could see her joining Kreese tbh while Kenny comes back and makes it to the semi final against Robby or maybe against Kwon. I also have a bad feeling Kwon is going to seriously injure Demetri or Hawk in order to show how much of a Mike Barnes KK3 badass he is.

But I’m also wondering how the Sekai Taikai will work? Will it be like the last All Valley where it will be a “winning Dojo” or just two champions? Or maybe a male and female champion and then one final match for an “overall” champion? Regardless, Robby has to win. He’s the most balanced out of all the fighters and characters. Miguel leans too much towards the aggressive Johnny style. Same for Tory. Sam is too much like Daniel and defensive. Robby winning is the point of the show. To not lean too heavily into offense or defense. To not lean too heavily into being reserved and do nothing (like Daniel and Miyagi) and not lean too heavily into aggression and act first mentality (Johnny and Kreese.) Also, we’re definitely not getting the semi-finals and finals until 2025. We’ll get Demetri and Hawk losing, Devon getting outed and Kenny coming back, etc. with the episodes in November

Wait, Devon put the laxatives in Kenny’s water? I thought LaPusso did it?

Damn, I thought she could do no wrong. She always seems so wholesome in this show, almost to the point of being one-dimensional and not feeling like a real person.

yeah, it's gonna be Robby or Miguel winning. But, honestly neither should stand a chance against the top 2 from Kreese's team.

I probably would have said this 3-4 seasons ago. But not now. Robby and Miguel have trained a lot. They were freshmen or sophomores in the first season and they’re all seniors now. That’s at least 3 years of training. They aren’t LaRusso who only trained for a couple of months and won an All Valley. But look how much better Daniel got after KK1 when he fought Chozen in KK2. Now imagine if he got 3 years worth of training. That’s Robby and Miguel.

Both Miguel and Robby have had training from - what we can assume in this world - are essentially 3 great Karate masters (Johnny, Daniel and Kreese.) and while Kwon and the Korean Cobra Kai have probably trained for longer, there’s nothing to suggest Master Kim has taught them anymore advanced karate than what Kreese taught Johnny, Miguel, Robby, etc. But Robby/Miguel are also head and shoulders better than the rest by now - even Hawk and Kenny. They’re the only ones that realistically stand a chance so I don’t mind it if one of them wins.


A lot of people predicted we were getting sensei fights in the last All Valley but it didn’t end up happening. I wonder if we finally get that at the Sekai Taikai

I don't know how Krease is getting plane tickets to everywhere, especially internationally, but November should be a great conclusion.

Truth.

The new Cobra Kais look like a K-Pop band.
