Cobra Kai -

[ElAbominacion]

I never said shit about his motivations. I was saying that the way he's acted is very unlikable. It comes across as super bratty. The character arc itself is fine and makes sense.

I think it's because Cobra Kai has a skewed perception; that of Johnny's. What does Johnny think of his son?

Demetri is the least likable protagonist I think. I don't think Robbie is very likable either though.

Agreed, I feel like punching Demetri in the throat at times.

Hawk switching sides at the miyagi do fight was lame i think it would have been better if kyler called him lip one more time that would have been a better trigger then hawk just seeing the miyagis getting beat up all season. Would have been a proper character motivation and it would show that his bullies are still not his friends and are docuhebags he needs to beat up.

In every other remake/sequel/reboot/etc of old 70's/80's stuff, they focus on the protagonists "passing on the torch" which is overplayed to hell and back at this point. The show works so well because Johnny is the main character. Not Daniel, not Miguel, not Sam, not Robby, but Johnny.

Everyone in the US went to high school with an asshole jock like Johnny, and everyone saw that person grow up to completely fuck up their life just like Johnny did at the start of the series. When Johnny is on a date, he says, "I partied during my 20's... all of them... and my 30's."

I never thought a show about teenagers beating the shit out of each other would be so amazing. I hope they don't fuck up season 4 since people are bitching about how the show is too white. Miguel is from Ecuador, Hawk has a Jewish-sounding name and Kyler is Korean, but, yeah, people are still bitching anyway.

I understand that the show is about karate people being badass so realism and logic are not a high priority but there is one thing that I find hard to accept:

Spoiler: spoiler for season 1

In the first season when Kyler tries to make a move on Sam at the movie theater and she pushes him away, and then he tells the whole school that she blew him. This is a total bitch move that no girl would respect, and I don't understand how the cool girls take Kyler's word over Sam's on the matter.

It's on Niggerflix, I am not sure it'll retain quality but I'm hoping.

At the very least, we got three good seasons out of it. That's three more than anybody was expecting.

A discussion I had with one of my friends recently:

"Dude, you really need to check out Cobra Kai."

"Well, I liked the Karate Kid OK ... But I always thought the ending was bullshit. That was an illegal kick, let's be real."

"DUDE, YOU REALLY NEED TO CHECK OUT COBRA KAI."
