It's staggering how many people are just finding out about it simply because it's no longer hidden away on Youtube.

Atlas Hugged posted:Netflix is going to tell them season 4 is the last and then during filming they'll surprise renew for a fifth season. The series finale will be put on the shelf to be used at the end of season 5, marking the only appearance in the season of Daniel's daughter who will otherwise have to be written out. They'll fill out the early half of the season with a plot centered around psychics taking refuge in the Miyagi-Do Doji, hiding from Stingray who has been tasked by Cobra Kai to hunt down rogue psychic karate practitioners. Johnny will return as head of Cobra Kai, but Terry Silver will outfit him with a mind-control device. Still, he thinks it better to allow himself to be a puppet than for another Kreese to be allowed to assume power. In the end, Kreese and Johnny will destroy Cobra Kai forever in a suicide/murder pact, strangling each other while Johnny has enough Coors in his body to overwhelm the mind-control device.

Lurdiak posted:I just started watching this and I have a very important question: does this show ever stop being about Danny's terribly-written daughter and general high school drama because I desperately want to skip every scene with that poo poo to get back to the middle aged men and their karate. Not really, in season 2 it morphs into high school karate turf wars if that's any help.

Show references the hell out of the third movie which is bar none the best.  EDIT: Daniel bringing up the events of the third movie and Johnny being all 'I dont know anything about this lunacy' was such a great scene.

Dr Christmas posted:Aisha isn't coming back in season 3, apparently because the writers couldn't find a place for her in their scripts! What the hell? The diminished role she had in season 2 was bad enough. Like last time this was brought up it very much seems like this stems from something off-screen rather than a production decision.

Darko posted:The flashback Terry Silva fake out was funny. Yeah (E10) they nailed that LMAO. Got me. I'm so curious how they'll gloss over what a humiliation the last time that favour being called in ended up being. Have so many thoughts about the season. To start off, there sure were a lot of returning cast members from season 1 that were absent in season 2. Were there production issues with season 2 or something? Shameful lack of Karate's bad boy outside of the one flashback. Is he the only plot-central character from the movies not to make a return at this point? I guess pot-girl too.

The Bee posted:
It would help if Johnny didn't once again de-prioritise him in favour of his substitute son when it really mattered. Daniel similarly also did what he thought was right, but by forcing it upon Robbie he torched whatever trust they had built up and there was no recovering from that. Robbie's whole arch is that since he has abandonment issues he will sabotage the productive relationships he does have and will end up with anyone left that accepts him. Whether that be the dumb duo, Daniel as in season 1 or the bully-gang as here. By rejecting both of the caretakers who try to be there for him he is left with no other option.

Solaris 2.0 posted:I never got around to watching III but its free on Amazon. From what I can tell though, it is not referenced in the show as much as 1 and 2 are. It's literally the basis for key parts of the drama in season 1, 2 and 3! In season 1 when they reference Cobra Kai ouright being banned, that's that's a straight reference to Karate kid 3. Same with season 2's "I was a Cobra Kai"-spiel and season 3's Vietnam flashbacks.

The funniest part of Karate Kid 3 is Terry Silvers actor being one year younger than Ralph Macchio while acting the role of a vietnam vet.

Gaius Marius posted:Yeah he was trying to cover up the fact that he'd been stuck in a shelter. No idea why he didn't call terry then but maybe terry only picks up when it means he can bully teenagers. Terry is 100% driving the plot in KK3, when they first meet all Kreese is trying to do is hand him the keys to his property. Terry is all about terrorising teenagers.

That guy was like the worst guy to ever guy.Halloween Jack posted:It's interesting how Kreese didn't learn anything from being manipulated and exploited by a quixotic lunatic who wanted his own little private army. Well, he learned that he should replace that guy. I dunno, Kreese isn't a complete lunatic by the start of the first karate-kid movie. He's just a war-brained vet that can't handle losing. It's not until KK3 that he goes completely off the deep end and becomes what he is in Cobra Kai. MiddleOne fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Jan 8, 2021 |
