Just noticed this.

Cobra Kai is an upcoming American dramedy web television series based on The Karate Kid film series created by Robert Mark Kamen. The television series takes place thirty years after the original film and follows the reopening of the Cobra Kai karate dojo by old rivals Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence. It was created by Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald and stars Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, reprising their roles from the films. It is set to premiere on YouTube Red in 2018.

Premise

Cobra Kai takes place thirty years after the original film and follows a "down-and-out Johnny Lawrence, who seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai karate dojo, reigniting his rivalry with a now successful Daniel LaRusso, who has been struggling to maintain balance in his life without the guidance of his mentor, Mr. Miyagi. The show is about two men addressing past demons and present frustrations the only way they know how: through karate.".....

cor blimey talk about a trip down memory lane takes me back to my crush (back in the 80s) of ralph macchio! lol please note there was no internet back then so we were limited to who we could crush on lol

Now I would be more likely to crush on William Zabka the kid that 'swept the leg' in the KK original film! before 'crane technique' classic kick moment ;) (used to be The Equalizers son in another true classic 80s show)

PS sorry for my flashback to being a teenager moment

The episodes are only half an hour long as well so you'll fly through it

I thought it was really funny how they brought in the idea of that alternate Karate Kid theory where Daniel was the bully all along :laugh2:

I had watched the first two episodes that were free on YouTube a while ago, but I just finished the two seasons now it is on Netflix.

Really loved this series. The first season especially put a big smile on my face.

After I finished the first season I was looking for videos about it on YouTube, and I noticed what I thought was a big spoiler in the search suggestions. It said 'Miguel dies' and I was expecting that to happen in the crazy brawl in the final episode, but it didn't. Although we don't know what will happen with him.

The third season was absolute dirge, tbh. Too repetitive, too ridiculous. It's always been a show that required you to suspend your belief a little but it just went from 0 to Riverdale this season. Too over the top to the point that it's a chore to watch.

Strictly Jake

I agree Dezzy. I enjoyed some of season 3 but a lot of it I didnt. Whereas I loved season 1 and 2 and havent ever watched a series so quickly. Season 3 took more effort. I still havent seen the karate kid movies so I will watch them soon.

'Cobra Kai' Overtakes 'Bridgerton' in Nielsen Streaming Rankings

Telemundo's 'Mariposa de Barrio' also becomes the first Spanish-language program to make the weekly top 10.

Netflix's Cobra Kai and Bridgerton remained head and shoulders above the rest of the streaming world for the first full week of 2021, although the two shows swapped rankings from the previous week.

Cobra Kai topped the chart for Jan. 4-10, with Netflix users watching some 2.11 billion minutes' worth of the show's three seasons. Bridgerton slipped one spot to second place with 1.67 billion minutes, down about a billion minutes from the previous week. Cobra Kai lost about 500 million minutes of time.

Of note: Telemundo's Mariposa de Barrio became the first Spanish-language show to crack the top 10, finishing eighth overall and fifth among acquired series. Nielsen notes that the show may have received a recommendation boost from Selena: The Series, as more than a third of the latter's viewers also watched Mariposa de Barrio.

With The Office having moved to Peacock (which is not currently included in Nielsen's rankings) on Jan. 1, Criminal Minds took over as the most streamed acquired show. Netflix viewers watched 842 million minutes of the long-running crime drama. Pixar's Soul remained the No. 1 streaming movie on the four platforms Nielsen features in its rankings, racking up 520 million minutes of viewing time on Disney+.

Streaming platforms contend Nielsen's methodology doesn't capture the full scope of viewing on devices other than TV sets. Nielsen also only measures U.S. audiences, not those in other countries, and currently only includes Amazon, Disney+, Hulu and Netflix in its rankings.

Nielsen's streaming top 10s for Jan. 4-10 are below. Original streaming films are marked with an asterisk.

It lost a lot of the heart from the previous two seasons. It also became too contrived with characters acting a certain way just to push the plot in directions that didn't really feel natural.

The kids are all really terrible actors, and even worse martial artists. The only good bits involve the original KK cast.

James

What I like about it is that it is not cynical. It's about people trying to do the right thing, but not always succeeding.

My only criticisms of Season 3, were I thought the second fight in the final episode was a bit much after...

The fight at the house. (which I heard was originally supposed to be in the Miyagi-do garden, but they couldn't do it because of the weather).

Also watching it again I did notice they repeated some of the scenes from previous seasons. eg. getting the tournament restored was like Johnny getting Cobra Kai reinstated in Season 1.

Hmm I had low key noticed a decline in entertainment value for Series 3, but not heaps.

Does anyone else feel absolutely no chemistry between Daniel and Amanda? They just have no on screen chemistry at all, even though they're fine actors. On top of that she's just always got this miserable, disapproving look on her fact and seemingly constantly has her arms folded.

But that's her entire presence and nothing else; disapproval and snobbishness. Some vibe of love should bleed through but there really is no chemistry. =/ It's like; what attracted them to each other in the first place.

Tbh, I wouldn't expect good acting from this show.

It’s a Karate-based (fantasy karate at that) soap opera, it’s not going for gritty realism so hammy/over the top acting is sort of the point and half the fun :laugh:.

But that's her entire presence and nothing else; disapproval and snobbishness. Some vibe of love should bleed through but there really is no chemistry. =/ It's like; what attracted them to each other in the first place.

It was better in the third season and I think the idea is that this is a side of him she hasn’t seen that much of before… his old teenage rivalry resurfacing… and is caused them some genuine marital issues. Though in “show terms” I think she was initially supposed to just function as a grounding element to point out that the whole “warring karate clans” thing, when you actually stop for a second, is ludicrous. They only really started rounding out the character at all in S3.

In fact, I’d say their female characters in general only started becoming more three-dimensional in S3. Which perhaps coincidentally coincides with its move from YouTube to Netflix.

I’m still flabbergasted by the shows 8.6 IMDb rating honestly. I mean, I absolutely loved it, binged the first 3 series faster than I’ve gotten through a show in years, but as I said above it is essentially a soap opera with a relatively low budget and 8.6 is a massive rating for a TV series. Stranger Things (basically one of Netflix’ flagship shows) is 8.7 :joker:. Most shows “like this” (half decent ones) would fall around the 7.5 range.

user104658

14-01-2022, 04:41 PM

Loved it once again :flutter:. Everyone getting a redemption arc (even Kreese? :laugh: ) just in time for silly Miggy to accidentally bring actual gangs/cartel down on them ... it's obviously going to be epic. I called this as soon as his mum mentioned the dad was a dodgy ****er back in S1, he was destined to be a villain (or linked to the introduction of a villain, if it's not him himself).

Oh and calling it now: because it's Cobra Kai, Miguel will DEFINITELY briefly be on his dad's side, before seeing the error of his ways, reconciling with Johnny, and probably teaming up with Robbie to beat up a horde of Cartel goons. Bonus points if Johnny and Daniel are also involved in this rumble.

Also I'm glad someone in the writing room FINALLY got around to watching Karate Kid 3 and the part where Mr Miyagi tells Daniel about how his teachings are to create "strong root" and that he'll ultimately use that to find his own way - because Daniel San has been neglecting that part of the teaching for almost 4 full seasons :joker:. It was practically the key theme of that movie!

Another thought I just had... wtf is Johnny doing for money at this point? He has like 10 students and no other job :think:. Even if they were all paying him $100 a month that would be pretty tight to live on...

Started this last night after I finished Power, loving it so far! I didn't realise the episodes are only 27-30 minutes long so I was able to breeze through them. I just finished season 1 and began season 2. I'm gonna try to finish by Friday.

I think I might prefer this to the original films too. It's more easier and entertaining.

There's a lot of talk of the "Miyagiverse", I think it's probable that there will be other shows set in the same universe and featuring some of the same characters or guest appearances.

It's been a massive success for Netflix and unlike something like Stranger Things, it doesn't have huge post-production or special effects overheads so they'll be keen to continue the franchise.

Jackie Chan could be playing a completely different character. The only other thing he could be is Miyagi 2.0 from another universe and that just... wouldn't make sense.

The Cobra Kai producers said a while back that they don't have anything to do with this film. I don't want this new film to discard the Cobra Kai continuity or to merge the two clumsily.

It's from Sony Pictures and they have been trying to make their Spider-man spin-offs connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe a thing, with not much success.

Yes I'm wary of it especially after realising it's Sony, who have a terrible recent track record of trying to cash in on things while they're popular, and making a mess of them. Ralph Macchio being involved feels like a sell-out. I don't blame him necessarily, but it's a shame.

Just glad that Cobra Kai is getting a planned end so will be a complete thing in itself. Could have been a disaster if Sony had swooped in and left Cobra Kai cancelled/unfinished like what happened to the Netflix Marvel shows.

Jackie Chan could be playing a completely different character. The only other thing he could be is Miyagi 2.0 from another universe and that just... wouldn't make sense.

Not really, Chan didn't play an alternate Mr Miyagi (well... in terms of his role in the film he did, but he wasn't ACTUALLY Mr Miyagi) he played "Mr Han" and also, he taught Kung Fu not Karate. They can technically exist in the same universe quite happily - they'd likely have Daniel make some reference to how much he reminds him of "a great man he used to know" blah blah and if Johnny is in it they'd probably have him repeatedly forgetting the names and referring to Chan's character as Miyagi.

Basically they COULD merge Chan's reboot character into the "Miyagiverse" quite easily, I just don't hold out much hope that it'll be done smoothly.

Having checked, the whole IP is owned by one production company (the Will Smith one lol, which is why Will Smith has an executive producer credit on Cobra Kai despite no direct involvement) so while the actual showrunners of Cobra Kai aren't involved, it's not a completely separate project. My main worry TBH is that it'll be aimed squarely at a "kids" audience like the reboot was, whereas Cobra Kai is very clearly in the teen/young adult band and not intended for kids.

15 eps is good basically a season and a half for the finale... 3 parts is a bit crap though, I'd have preferred 2, even if it was a 10/5 split.

I may just use some willpower and wait until all three parts are released before I start it :worry:.

I prefer when shows put out all episodes at once. Gives you the flexibility of watching when you want, and can reduce subscription costs.

I prefer when shows put out all episodes at once. Gives you the flexibility of watching when you want, and can reduce subscription costs.

I generally prefer full season drops, but I don't think they'd put out 15 eps of anything at once - 10 is fairly standard so I'd have accepted a 10 episode drop (maybe ending in a mini-cliffhanger) and then a 5-episode "finale" drop.

I do actually think the last season of Stranger Things worked quite well with a small split, they released most of it and then the final couple of episodes a couple of months later.

So long as it's only a small gap of course... 4 or 5 months tops... no one wants to wait a year for the second part of a single season D:

I heard the reason they might be splitting up shows is they don't have enough programmes after the Hollywood strikes.

James are you not the most shook that

It essentially all kicked off because of Sensei Niamh's offensively-stereotypical drunken-brawling "Dublin Dojo" :joker: :joker:.

The accents! :skull:

Also if they continue the competition now... and I know it's not a show full of realism, but that would be utterly ridiculous. I mean come on. That thing is getting shut down permanently.

Totally thought of TiBB Niamh - and what she would think - when I saw the Dublin Thunder dojo, yeah. :hehe:

I want to know what effect it will have on the characters, including Kreese and Silver. Will they now put their vengeance aside?

Silver I doubt, but they've been teasing a Kreese redemption/alliance for multiple seasons so that's what I'm expecting. Chozen's new girlfriend in the mix too.

less realistic than the accents was the fact that they'd choose an orange Karategi.........although they are supposed to be Dubs so.......

I was going to rewatch S6 so far but I thought screw it, I'm rewatching from S1 Ep1 :hee:. The first thing I immediately notice is how hench Miguel is compared to S1. Like let's be honest, he's right, he should have been the captain not Robbie, they were convincing rivals in S1 but I swear S6 Miguel would put wee S6 Robbie through a wall :joker:. And Robbie vs Axel would just look ridiculous the weight class difference is just unrealistic... Miguel vs Axel would at least seem like a viable fight.

I am on Season 6 episode 5. That annoying Tory did a switcharoo again. And dangit Robbie got distracted because of her I hope it's the first and last time during the tournament and going forward

I love that cobra Kai has an enemy even more evil than them this season. Does that mean that Miyago Do and Cobra Kai will somehow team up to defeat Iron Dragon?

Gosh damn the Iron Dragon Sensei is fine as hell!!!

I love this show! Don't end

Back to watching

I never realised it was Neil Patrick Harris who started the "Johnny was the victim" theory regarding the original Karate Kid haha

I agree I also binged watched all the latest episodes and they were really good. There was a lot of good acting in it(for a change) especially Johnny's character. The finale was perfect, there wouldn't be anything I would change

Excellent season.
They really honoured the karate kid films with the bringing back the old characters, closing chapters of old rivalries, and the evolving of Johnny's and Daniel san's relationship great!!! It could actually go another season or 2 based on these 2 alone. (Although now that Terry and Kreese are gone they would have to find new antagonists. Could've been the iron dragon's fine ass sensei!! )

The kids were great but these 2 made the show for me.

Hawk was my favorite kid so a bit disappointed he didn't get a solo focus in this season but overall it was really good!!! 10/10

Yes I saw that!!!I loved how they brought that in to the show when Johnny puts his version of events forward in the first season [emoji23]

My favourite part of the final episodes was

the training scenes with Johnny and Daniel in Rocky style

From the way it ended it was clear that Johnny was the main character in the show.

Rightly so too, he's was the funniest and most entertaining character plus it was called Cobra Kai :p

Absolutely loved that too!! Another great thing about the show is all the homages to the 80's. They didn't feel the pressure to modernise everything...they didn't make the kids dance to Kendrick Lamar!!! lol perfect example of how to keep old fans of a franchise and gain new ones. I will miss the show

Yes great point actually. I could see how it would appeal to both people who remember the 80's and the younger viewers too, that's not an easy balance to find either

Brilliant ending - I think a slight shame that some of the younger characters outside of the "Core 4" were sidelined (even Robbie slightly... Core 3...) but ultimately the show was about Johnny and Daniel primarily, and then Miguel and Sam as their main students, so it was still great.

Binged all the new episodes last night

I absolutely loved everyone of them, top class cheese fest, great endings for everyone I think, Krease quietly redeemed himself and they will never know :'(

I dunno - as head cannon I'd say they will realise what happened. Johnny had that scene with Kreese (and Tory had a scene) where he was clearly genuinely remorseful, and there would be a news report about Silver's boat (it was a pretty big explosion :joker: ) and his death - then Kreese will never be seen again - also his final scene with Tory hinted at his plans when she asked if it had to be goodbye forever... i.e. "I have one more thing to do before I ... ... step aside."

So they'll never know for sure but I think they'll be pretty confident that he went and 'sploded Silver for them. They'll never know about Silver's exact plot to fk with Johnny's new family, but, he was always full of all sorts of nefarious schemes.

They'll discover his charred remains and Dr Johnny Lawrence will simply revive him and return him to full health.

Best doctor on TV!

- Cured Miguel's asthma by throwing his inhaler at the wall
- Cured Hawk's autism by saying "No u don't"
- Fixed Miguel's broken spine by calling his legs pussies and taking him to a concert.

He can definitely piece together an exploded corpse.

They filmed a scene where it is shown that

Kreese survived but didn't use it.

Adds Hurwitz, "We all assumed when filming that the guys died as a result of that." Still, Hurwitz admits "we wanted to leave ourselves options," so they shot a scene with Martin Kove that gave them the option to have his character survive the explosion... somehow.

"When we were filming that final montage we have in the finale — currently we land on that magazine, the Sports Illustrated, with Johnny and Daniel on the cover. We actually had the camera continue over and we have another magazine that had Terry Silver on it, [with a story about] the mystery of what happened to him," explains Hurwitz. "We even had Marty there to reach in with his hand and pick up the magazine. While filming it, we knew that it was ridiculous and would not make the cut."

They COULD have done it if they showed even a slight delay between the fight and the explosion, which is an editing choice they could have made later, but the way they showed it... that boat was completely obliterated instantly. There wouldn't even be chunks for the sharks :joker:. I can definitely believe that they filmed "alternatives" though, as I say they could have edited it differently so that there would more feasibly have been time for escape. Although if they did that it would also open up the possibility of Silver having survived which would make the finale feel less "final"
