And I don't know if Oscar wins 15+ years ago mean she's too good to be in this stupid Netflix show. Winning an Oscar doesn't rocket you to S-tier forever, hence the existences of Adrien Brody or Renee Zellweger or Russell Crow. Or Kevin Spacey, but you know...

Swank was in some lovely Netflix sci-fi show I remember watching a year or two ago, something about a mission to Mars iirc, so she definitely has been willing to do TV stuff (and for Netflix, no less).

Carrie Underwood is the most famous person to be on CK by a mile. I don’t think Swank winning an Oscar 17 years ago will make her turn up her nose at a show this popular.

But I never watched The Next Karate Kid and will be lost if they bring her character in. Do…do I have to watch that movie now?

Robobot posted:But I never watched The Next Karate Kid and will be lost if they bring her character in. Do…do I have to watch that movie now? Okay, short version - Miyagi runs into the wife of an old war buddy who for reasons I forget has him watch her house and her troubled grandkid or niece or whatever Julie, Swank's character. Naturally Miyagi immediately tries teaching her karate in his way but she is extremely uninterested in waxing his car to learn muscle memory. Sadly at her high school are the 'Alpha Elite' which are... kind of like ROTC crossed with hall monitors as they undergo fight training (from their coach, Michael Ironsides) and mostly snitch on other students. It's very odd. The leader is of the Elite is one Ned, which is what happens when you splice the DNA from Johnny and Mike Barnes, make a baby with it, and then drop it on its head. Julie runs afoul of Ned while bonding with one member of the Elite who isn't as much of a dick and agrees to learn karate from Miyagi. Very little happens. They nurse an injured hawk back to health and set it free for symbolism. It all comes to a head at the big dance with the Elite bungie jumping in and Julie and Mr. Miyagi have a confrontation on the docks with Ned and Michael Ironsides. Both fights are over in roughly a minute and a half, which might be the total time. They visit a Buddhist monastery at one point and Miyagi catches an arrow with his hands. It is sadly not even so bad its good in that way KK3 is, as Michael Ironsides is playing his normal character which is great but does not add as much things to a terrible story like a coked up TIG does.

The Alpha Elite were really ridiculous even by Cobra Kai standards. An American public school let some guy--I don't know if he was even a teacher--train a squad of literal blackshirts to be the School Police and beat up their fellow students for littering and cutting class. This has extremely predictable results. It's the kind of insanity you usually only see at American private schools.

I never questioned the movie's logic on that. Michael Ironside seems like the kind of guy who could just show up to any high school and muster up a paramilitary force in a few weeks.

I remember, because I dragged my mom to that flick because I was so stoked that a girl could be The Karate Kid and that's the only scene that didn't absolutely embarrass me. And again, if memory serves, by the end of it, even that scene had. So, maybe I want Swank back so bad to wash the taste out of my mouth. I didn't even re-watch that flick when I watched 1, 2, and 3 in the run-up to Cobra Kai.

Is it ever outright stated that Miguel's dad is "bad"? I thought it was just stated that he was engaged in illegal activities, so I'm expecting a subversion of expectations where he's presented as good and cool. I'm going to make a wild guess and say he helps people cross the border into the USA. He's sacrificing his own relationship with his family in order to reunite other families. Hopefully he beats up some ICE thugs.

While I do think there is a chance his dad won't be a mustache twirling drug dealing cartel enforcer, I really don't think they'll have him beat up ICE or be some sort of Robin Hood of human trafficking. I honestly have no idea how you would even think this show would go in that direction to be honest.

Because having one of your Mexican characters be in the cartel or whatever is kind of gross and it'd be cool if they didn't do the gross thing.

Miguel's dad being Mike Barnes is the best idea I've heard and makes perfect sense for this So-cal karate soap opera. There's a million reasons and ways you can script explaining why he had to haul rear end to and lives in Mexico for some reason. So right there you have a way to introduce him, a built in karate connection and another layer of weird rivalry with Johnny, Eagle Fang, Cobra Kai, Daniel and Miguel to put another slice of delicious melodramatic cheese on top of this ridiculous karate-burger we all love. Count me in as loving that idea.

But having him be a Coyote isn’t gross? C’mon now, you just want to see border cops get beat up. And to be fair that’s always entertaining, but I don’t think the show is going to go in either of those directions. At worst he’ll just be a thief or something. He might even just be a regular guy who had a crazy early adulthood and doesn’t get why karate is so important to this kid claiming to be his son. Or it could be Mike Barnes and we all win!
