Cobra Kai new karate kid series on youtube

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
My one basic prediction:

Terry Silver kidnapped Kumiko, as he researched who Chozen was in season 5. Daniel gets injured by Silver, so now Chozen fights to the death for Kumiko and thus wins her affection.
 
At what point do students see "Way of the fist" and "No mercy" for they are: Sociopathic crap. It felt authentic in the OG Karate Kid, with Kreese working out his personal traumas on a bunch of kids looking for identity. But here we are, 40 years later, with modern teens still willing to follow this warped old man on his cultish Kamakaze trip to self-destruction. Worse, it's not just Kreese's sick mind that conjured this up. "No mercy" is the guiding philosophy of an ancient Japanese dojo, with a Sensei who mentored Kreese and has been churning out generations of psychopaths. Seriously? Aside from the obvious question of why parents would pay a school to transform their kids into monsters, Cobra Kai represents the opposite of any legit Karate teaching.

It sounds like I just tuned into Cobra Kai for the first time and am shocked. Not quite. I've watched every single episode and really enjoyed the reboot. Until now. I've finally had enough of the "No mercy" boogeyman being used as the bad-guy. Kreese is a lost cause, a homeless war vet with nothing left but hate. He's an interesting character. However, his bizarre influence over others is ridiculous. Having a bad day? Somebody piss you off? Don't bother working out your problems! Instead, let a delusional criminal instruct you on the Way Of Alienating Everyone In Your Life and set you on the path to a criminal record.

Interesting theory! He'd have to get out of jail first. And he'd also have to know that Chozen has feelings for Kumiko. I'm not sure how he would know Kumiko's connection to Chozen, but he's a very resourceful guy, so you never know.

This release schedule for the last season is trash

I don't know why they're releasing it this way, after binging 5 episodes of part 1 I have to wait until November to see the conclusion. That amount of time will make viewers forget much of the story and could cause many to lose interest, this was a mistake on Netflix's part.

Worse than that. 15 episodes for the final season. Next 5 in November. And final 5 in 2025!

What don't you understand? It seems pretty self explanatory. Someone was bemoaning that only 5 episodes of the final season had been released and we have to wait until November for the final 5. I corrected them in actually stating there are 15 episodes in the final season which will be released in 3 batches. The last one, which is the conclusion, not released until 2025.

Not what that I didn't understand you, what that they did that. Just baffling.

Just finished the first 5 episodes. Could see Tory's heel turn from a mile away, but the way they did it was sloppy writing.

And I don't know the rules of the Sekai Taikai, but how could they let a white girl who had never step foot inside Korea represent the Korean team?

Does Kyler really need a redemption arc? The guy's a minor character and a dick.

Yeah, they're pretty much grasping for storylines at this point.

What really stood out to me was how all of the high school kids look like they're pushing 35. And they keep introducing antagonists who are cartoonishly evil for evil's sake. And Kreese never goes away.

I like how Johnny seems more mature and developed than Daniel, who continues to eff everything up by being inflexibly idealistic.
 
I binged through all 5 episodes because I felt like Netflix owed me some kind of entertainment after the bullshit that was Paul vs. Tyson

Pretty fast paced and entertaining 2nd segment, and the characters from the new dojos were interesting. One thing that bothered me was

They just can’t resist putting an all out brawl somewhere even in a tournament format.
And why was Daniel so upset to find out that Miyagi killed a guy in a past tournament?. He fought in WW2 and was a decorated veteran. Miyagi killed a lot of guys.

I thought that there were 10 episodes of part 2, not 5 anyways I will start watching today.
 
The only thing I didn't like about this segment was the apparent inconsistencies with time. The time difference between Barcelona and California accounted for some of that, but it was never explained how
Johnny and Miguel flew back and forth from Europe to USA without missing any events in the tournament

Maybe the pilot listened to Johnny's suggestion and flew in a straight line :laugh:

I don't dislike that, but I did notice and mention it as a point of humor in how everything was playing out. We were trying to guess what times it could be on both sides for things to happen the way they happened, but after about 10 seconds we were over it.

The Miyagi thing was incredibly obvious though, right?

As soon as Daniel was in the cab, I guessed who was behind the whole wild goose chase :sarcasm:

Is dropping F bombs a new thing? Maybe it was just the way Ralph Machio said it emphatically but it was the first time I’ve noticed it

I watched all of part 2 and I don't know what happened, but I didn't hear any f bombs. Spoiler alert, the ending is a brawl and doesn't end and it lasted 15 minutes of violence and got boring in my opinion. It does seem like this series is done, but I look forward to seeing part 3.
