Found this on Snopes of all places and didn't see it posted here but they've transcribed Johhny's ALL CAPS FACEBOOK MESSAGE to Ally from S3. I'm gonna leave it in its original formatting. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cobra-kai-facebook-message/ "Johhny Lawrence, Founder, Eagle Fang Karate posted:AND THEN IN 1992, IRON EAGLE 3 CAME OUT. YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON’T CARE WHAT THE CRITICS SAY, I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY GOOD. NOT AS GOOD AS IRON EAGLE 1 AND IRON EAGLE 2, BUT HEY, WHAT MOVIE IS? I THINK WAYNE’S WORLD WAS THAT YEAR TOO. THAT ONE WAS OKAY. THOSE NERDS HAD GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC, AND THE CHICK WAS HOT. WHAT WAS SHE DOING WITH HIM? HOW COME THE HOT CHICKS GO FOR THE LOSERS IN THESE MOVIES? ANYWAY, OTHER THAN THAT 1992 WAS A PRETTY QUIET YEAR. GOT FIRED AGAIN, BUT WHAT THE HELL DO THEY KNOW. I DIDN’T LIKE CONSTRUCTION ANYWAY. THEY ALL SPEAK SPANISH AND I’M PRETTY SURE THEY WERE MAKING FUN OF ME SOMETIMES. DO YOU KNOW WHAT A “GRINGO” IS? I STARTED LEARNING A LITTLE BIT OF SPANISH FROM MIGUEL AND HIS FAMILY. I KNOW “HOLA”, “PLANTAIN”, “TACO” AND “DINERO.” PRETTY GOOD, HUH? WHERE WAS I? OH, RIGHT, 1993. THERE WAS THAT DINOSAUR MOVIE. PRETTY GOOD FOR THE NINETIES. I MEAN, NOT ANYWHERE NEAR WHAT WE HAD BACK IN THE DAY. REMEMBER PREDATOR? THAT MOVIE WAS BADASS! THIS DINOSAUR THING WAS PRETTY COOL BUT TOO MUCH SCIENCEY STUFF FOR ME. I GUESS YOU PROBABLY LIKED THAT THOUGH, RIGHT? I MEAN, YOU’RE A DOCTOR NOW. I COULD NEVER BE A DOCTOR. NOT AFTER THAT INCIDENT AT COMMUNITY COLLEGE (I TALKED ABOUT THAT A COUPLE PARAGRAPHS AGO, DOES FACEBOOK LET YOU GO BACK AND REREAD?) STILL THINK THEY OVERREACTED. ALL THE GREAT SCIENTISTS SET THINGS ON FIRE, RIGHT? LIKE EINSTEIN OR WHOEVER. ANYWAY, 1993. DUTCH GOT ARRESTED. THAT ONE WAS PRETTY STUPID. I WAS DRUNK FOR MOST OF IT, BUT I’M PRETTY SURE HE HOTWIRED A GOLF CART FROM THE COUNTRY CLUB. I LOOKED UP FROM THE BAR AND DUTCH IS DRIVING THIS THING AT HIGH SPEED, OR I GUESS AS HIGH AS SOMETHING LIKE THAT CAN GO, AND CRASHES IT INTO THE POOL! THEY HAD TO BRING A CRANE IN TO GET IT OUT. HE DID SOME TIME BUT IT WAS WORTH IT! ANYWAY, I DON’T THINK I’VE BEEN BACK TO THE COUNTRY CLUB SINCE THEN. SID WON’T LET THEM BAN ME BUT THOSE GUYS ARE ALL UPTIGHT, AND THEY ONLY SERVE FOREIGN BEER. IT’S OFFENSIVE. WE WON TWO WORLD WARS DRINKING AMERICAN BEER. WHAT THE HELL HAS BELGIUM EVER DONE EXCEPT GET INVADED? WHO WANTS TO DRINK THAT poo poo? I THINK I GOT OFF TOPIC AGAIN. LET’S GET BACK TO THE MID-NINETIES. 1994 WAS A SLOW YEAR. THE NINETIES SUCKED. MAN, YOU TURNED ON THE RADIO AND IT WAS JUST CRAP. WHO WRITES A SONG ABOUT BEING A LOSER? AND ALL THOSE GRUNGEY TYPES WITH THE FLANNEL. LET ME TELL YOU MUSIC IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT BEING BADASS AND AWESOME, NOT ABOUT WANTING TO KILL YOURSELF. THAT poo poo CAN’T BE GOOD FOR KIDS TO HEAR, RIGHT? LOOK AT ME, WORRYING ABOUT WHAT THE KIDS ARE HEARING. I GUESS BEING A PARENT CHANGES YOU. NOT THAT I’M ALL THAT GREAT OF A PARENT. WELL, MIGUEL SEEMS TO LIKE ME OKAY. ROBBY DOESN’T, I MESSED THAT ONE UP PRETTY GOOD. CAN’T EVEN GET THE KID TO TALK TO ME ANYMORE. HE’S STUCK IN THERE FOR A FEW MORE MONTHS, AND HE’S GOT NOBODY. HE WON’T TAKE MY CALLS. I HOPE HIS MOM IS TALKING TO HIM AT LEAST. I THINK IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE FOR ME AND HIM. I MESSED UP TOO MANY TIMES. NOT THAT I’M A TOTAL SCREW UP. I’VE DONE SOME GOOD STUFF TOO! WHICH BRINGS ME TO 1995 AND HOW I MADE TWO GRAND BETTING ON THE OJ TRIAL.

I honestly think it's better this way, he's not typing in all caps (only) because he is dumb or rushing through in stream of consciousness mode. He is trying really hard with this letter he just doesn't realize that typing in all caps and recounting your life one year at a time is a faux pas. So he's dumb in a more subtle way than "he can't spell".

I could have used maybe one "I should of done this" or "I would of done that" Or maybe I mean to say "I could of used" one of those things. Also, I forgot but I think it was a PM and not a post which makes it even better.

The show has gone all-in on deadly serious life or death karate, and has really dropped the tone that was in season 1 about how absurd it is to care about your high school karate tournaments when you're in your 50s. In season one, the chop shop fight would have ended with one of the guys talking to the police and saying "Yeah, me and my friends here were just working on our cars together when these two guys came in and started doing spin kicks and loving poo poo up"

Yeah, the first episode to get in the "I heard you were the bully!" point. Which is a good point, but this season it feels more like tacked on comedy instead of being the tone of the show. The first season was all about how the stuff from when they were young was stupid, and they shouldn't repeat the mistakes from the past. The whole third season is just "we gotta karate harder than the other guys", with what feels like a few lines of fan service to the first season thrown in. I would have liked to see Chozens character be successful and happy to see Daniel, which would throw him off balance and Daniel would eventually learn a lesson about letting old grudges go and how little the stupid stuff they did when they were young really counts in life. Instead Chozen is just a character who teaches harder karate literally developed to kill. The show is still good, but a lot of the secret sauce that gave the first season its charm is gone. For the fourth season my wish is for Mike Barnes to have grown into a Stephen Wonderboy Thompson happy positive kind of karate guy.

As an adult now It's actually my favorite of the three. My favorite was part two as a kid, but as an adult I have a whole new appreciation for Terry Silver. He's just so fun on screen. Thomas Ian Griffith knows exactly what movie he's in and he's playing the part perfectly.

Yes, but if he's so good why didn't he also bargain for Terry Silvers name and announce it like a Mortal Combat character.

I just finished watching all three seasons of this show this week and I really love it, which means I'm gonna complain about it a lot. The soap opera content of the story really needs to be reduced by like 84%. Season 1 remains the best season because it leaned into being clever and self-referential at its characters' own expenses, combined with a very, very coherent throughline and thesis statement. It reminds me a lot of early Glee and I say that with highest praise. Season 2 and 3 both take themselves a bit too seriously and start to mistake "being complicated" with "being interesting"; at this point you need a flowchart to keep track of precisely which characters are mad at each other for precisely what reasons from episode to episode. The best parts of s3 were just the casual scenes of Johnny and Miguel being hopeless goombahs in his apartment, and not the...*gestures vaguely*..."plot," such as it was. Amanda is the best character because she always seems to know what kind of show this is, and even then there was a vague stretch where they tried to make her into generic womanmom with the "No, don't do the good thing, think of your family instead" mindset. Thank goodness that seems gone for now. Also, I get that the whole point of the show is that "nurture" is everything, but it'd be nice if the teen characters seemed less like mindless hordes of lemmings who imprint onto the nearest adult who gave the most recent motivational speech which then completely defines their personalities for the next foreseeable stretch of episodes. There's got to be a happier balance where these teachings actually shape these students' mindsets over time without them ping-ponging back and forth between worldview extremes every other week because of karate class. Anyway great show about karate gangs, needs more dicks. BrianWilly fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Jun 10, 2021 |

As was mentioned upthread, Amanda is a normal person (or rather, a prestige drama version of a normal person) who is trapped in a weird ‘80s tribute karate show. Her slapping Kreese represents her giving up and accepting the new reality.
