Spoiler Just enough. Kumiko more than Chozen. I thought Chozen should have gotten more. The whole learning the secrets to Miyagi do felt very rushed and somewhat still unrealized. I would have liked to see them train more together. Maybe have to kick some ass in town together. I felt like they really didn't dive into the past of Miyagi do. The secret is a move that immobilizes foes. That's it mostly. There is a quick notion that sometimes defense is stopping opponents from being able to fight...i.e. the paralyzing move. Felt like they missed a chance at some greater meaning behind Miyagi do.
Just finished season 3. The finale was bad ass. Here are my thoughts. Spoiler As I said in a post above I thought Daniel's trip to Tokyo/Okinawa was too hurried. It did get a whole episode, but only about half of it, while the kids had their dramas back home. I felt the history behind Miyagi do was cursory and didn't do justice to it and the memory of Mr Miyagi. I enjoyed the call backs. I thought Kumiko was well used but maybe should had more screen time with Daniel. I thought Chozen should have had more screen time with Daniel, more training together, more Daniel learning about Miyagi do. etc. Chozen taught him one move how to momentairly paralyze opponents. (I enjoyed Chozen doing the nose thing back to Daniel) The other blast from the past was the typhoon girl Daniel had saved. She was used well too. There maybe should have been a scene with her and Daniel fixing things with Toyota. Instead it was suggested and implied. That could have been another point to emphasize Miyagi do and what it truly means and how Toyota should see what happened differently. I was conflicted with the John Kreese flashbacks in LA and Nam. I don't want to pity Kreese or see him as a good dude hidden inside a bad dude that has been made cold and pyscho by war. I liked it though. We get to see all sides of every main character. The good. The flaws. The bad. That is what makes us human. Its no different with Kreese. But, he is fucked up. Though Daniel and Johnny have flaws too. Like Ali's character said, there is each side of the story and then the truth. The redemption arc of Hawk's and the turn to the dark side for Robby were easy to see coming. Robby was always going to join Kreese and Cobra Kai. Hawk's redemption was hinted at all through season 3. Bad ass finale with Ali returning and brokering peace between Daniel and Johnny. (What was in it for her though...she helped them...I guess maybe they helped her too.) The big fight between the kids was fun to watch, but the Kreese/Johnny/Daniel fight at the end was intense. I thought a mix of the fight intermixed with Kreese turning bad in nam was well done. The let's do this the old fashion way, whoever loses the tournament leaves deal at the end was obvious. Bad ass with Miyagi Do and Eagle Fang, Daniel/Johnny coming together to train the kids together at Miyagis. Loved it Can Kreese be redeemed? Maybe his lady had a kid before she died or something? It seems there has to be more reason of showing the flashbacks than telling us his past. (Probably just setting up the return if his friend and fellow villian Terry Silver) By showing Kreese good, then turning bad, shows us he can perhaps be redeemed though right? I don't see it though. I don't see Kreese, Daniel, and Johnny all senseing together peacefully and happily. I do see the return of Karate Kid III villian Terry Silver. He is "Twig" in the flashbacks. The Captain at one point addresses him as Silver. Kreese saves him twice and he is eternally in Kreese's debt. In fact Kreese calls him at the end of the finale. So, expect to see him in season 4. Also expect to see Silver's son Snake and possibly Mike Barnes who Laruso fought in Karate Kid Three. Hillary Swank is also said to be returning. Miyagi-verse oh my!
I just saw that Cobra Kai is planned up till season 6! I know it's really popular but I wonder how they can tell that much of the story? https://movieweb.com/cobra-kai-6-seasons-netflix/ Cobra Kai Is Planned Through Season 6 Teases Ralph Macchio Cobra Kai star Ralph Macchio has revealed that there are plans for the sequel series to last for at least 6 seasons. "The writers have always felt they had six seasons in their head, where the story arcs can go. So that should all land when the time is right. You don't want to overstay your welcome, but the fans are having fun and there's more story there. As long as we're allowed to keep doing it, Billy and I are in."
Finished it this weekend. Love it. Johnny is one of my favorite characters of all time. He's a god damn legend "Hashbrown Me Too." So fucking funny. "Your legs are pussies." Come on. Incredible.
Loved Season 3! Loved the Kreese background story. "If I don't pass this trig test my dad is gonna sh*t in my mouth!"
