They definitely have some setup for the future. Just curious what they'll do.
Fantastic season as usual. This show is how you take an existing property and do it justice.
All the kids, even the Mortal enemies have made peace. The Adults, Kreese aside, have made peace.
It looked like they were building some new kids to be villains, but those kids joined with and threw off their cobra Kai jerseys.
At this point, there are no more originals to introduce into this story outside of the trilogy. Half of what made cobra Kai great was returning surprises and easter eggs. Nobody cares about Hilary Swank or Micheal Ironside from the next karate Kid and nobody wants to see them or the Alpha elite somehow become the villains in this new Tournament format with a grudge against Miyagi do. It would not be impactful because over Half the karate Kid Trilogy fans didn't even watch the next Karate Kid and it won't resonate.
I mean, maybe Miguel's father becomes a villain and they go to Mexico to fight MMA guys? lol? Kreese is largely toothless now. He is like a wrestlers who did too many Jobs and now can't be pushed like a top guy story wise.
I would love to be proven wrong. But my gut tells me this show has run its course in terms of my enjoyment of it.
