Television So PISSED at the Cobra Kai ending!!!!

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Reason why many elders liked it was for the nostalgia factor. As it wore on, it started to get a bit lame and predictable imo.

Don't worry speaking as an "elder" you'll one day realize that's just how most successful shows work. Overall the series was great, and an improbable success. It was born out of a Funny or Die skit"Wax on, Fuck off"/YouTube video based on Daniel being the "villain" all along. It debuted, and had two seasons exclusively on YouTube Red, before being bought by Netflix. Then even mid story it survived like 3 years of Covid/Hollywood writers strike delays back to back.

That would have ended most shows/properties but they carried on until the end.

I don't agree that it was pure nostalgia factor early on. The first season in particular had strong writing, was thought provoking, ect. The problem is the creators went from "we need to make a good show" to "we're having fun making this show" and it bled into the on screen product. They needed someone to keep them in check the last couple of seasons.

 

[Tabarnakos]

I just finished watching the last 5 episodes

They should have ended it at S5 It was decent ending. Daniel kicked Silver and sent him to jail. Good guys won bad guys lost That's it there was no need for more S6 just felt like it was too much. Also episode 11 felt very disjuncted.It had a weird pace and the whole "we must restart the tournament" felt fake and forced. It's like no one really gave a shit that this kid impaled himself on a dagger on live tv after a general brawl that would make the Diaz bros proud lol

Also an almost 60 years old Johnny beating a prime MMA Wolf was kind of BS. But this is karate kid where a 70years old 5'4 manlet was able to destroy Barnes and prime Kreese and Silver 1 vs 3 in KK3 so yeah

 

[Deleted member 53199]

The series has become a joke and a mockery and i am glad it ended... pure 1/10.

 

[M4rk]

Series could have been worse. It could have had Will Smiths kid in it.

 

[Ogata]

Lol agree Silver trying to kidnap Carmen and the baby was out there and WTF. I assume Silver was doing coke again and possibly other shit + the prescription drugs he was taking and that turned him manic again like in KK3.

But in the interest of wrapping up everyone's story arc, they needed to make the existing villains irredeemable so they could be written out organically. This show was about the old generation handing over the reins to the next. Miyagi already bit the dust so Kreese, Silver and KSY also had to go. If he survived and was redeemed, KSY would have stolen Johnny and Da Eun's thunder. We knew Da Eun wasn't going to ride side car forever and it was also obvious she and Chozen were going to be a thing. You can't just have KSY standing over them demanding that Chozen eat with a fork instead of chopsticks. So what to do? Have KSY commit some more irredeemable shit like having kids beaten for no good reason and ordering his granddaughter to murder the dude who ingratiated himself to her as a kid. And what did Kreese do to deserve this fate after faithfully serving KSY for decades? Getting fed up with his shit and trying to walk away. Yeah that pretty much makes KSY an irredeemable douche in need of a five finger exploding heart technique to the nards.

And yeah, Silver wanting to kidnap the baby came out of left field but it also made him irredeemable. And with all the shit he'd done, no way was Kreese going to sail off into the sunset either. The theme with KSY, Kreese and Silver was they started out as good guys but got twisted by ego and anger and became gigantic assholes.

I mostly agree with you on Terry Silver, that shit was way out of nowhere. Even Dennis said:

"Furniture store is one thing, but are you sure you want to go there?"

Like it confirmed it was Dennis who destroyed Mikes store but even Dennis was questioning his sensei and boss. My thing is, I wanted to see the ending of Terry like this:

Terry and Iron Dragons lose. Terry walks up to Daniel and Johnny, bows and they both give him a nod of begrudging respect because they know it was Silver that pushed them to greatness.

Later on, Kreese runs in to Terry. He admits that he treated Terry like shit but still uncalled for to be framed for murder. They fight it out and in middle of the fight, they realize about the good ole days of sparring. The scene ends right there and then.

Regarding Master Kim, COMPLETELY DISAGREE!!!

My master is also from South Korea, he is soft spoken, never uses profanity ever and never raises his voice and he is by far the MOST BRUTAL sensei I have ever had in my entire life!

He does hit me but we also do Sun Do which is like Qi Gong. He also mentioned that for training, he had to water fast 3 weeks during winter times in a mountain. Also Master Kim had students hit in the body and was not sending his students to CTE city.

For Sun Do, we have to do breath work and he will do a Nukite or knife hand strike. That would be more of the Japanese karate side of Tang Soo Do.


Also LOL wtf!? When did Kreese serve KSY for decades? Dude went from owning cobra kai to working odd jobs and then becoming homeless for the last ten years prior to the storyline. Also, it seems like KSY kind of found out that Kreese was responsible for the death of his favorite student which was Captain Turner.

Kreese was BUM compared to other KSY students.

They could have made Chosen and Master Kim. Chosen knows Tang Soo Do, that could garner him respect for Master Kim. From there, Master Kim could have turned in to a storyteller to Chozen and he could tell stories of the past similar to How I met your mother series which incorporated Karate kid. Except it woud be How I Met Your Sensei Sato.

The Writing was getting thin and personally it was unbalanced after season 2 where you had to balance the seriousness and comedy of the shows premiere. I would have done a far better job with the writing but the fact is they didn’t plan on it being a huge success so they extended the series and they rushed it and catered to the less intelligent ppl who don’t even know karate or it’s base ……so they balanced it and did a good job but it got dumbed down as it went ……

.I’m glad it ended bc it wasn’t getting better you need to write much better stories and plots otherwise it’s just another Beverly Hills 90210 but they know karate .

True but they could have done so much more with Master Kim. Like Master Kims son or daughter as well as focus on slowly introducing characters that have met Mr. Miyagi and Master Kim or that Master Kim and Mr. Miyagi had a specific Kung Fu lineage or something like that. The kid drama was too recycled.

 

[wlu.29]

It was not bad to watch with the wife and 11 year old and 14 year old.

The 11 year old enjoyed it, the 14 year old thought it was cringe at points, but I think he still enjoyed spending time watching it together

Lol I know you've been jonesing for more KSY. Could have been cool if he got redeemed and came into the American Miyagi-Do-Cobra Kai fold, like how Sato became sympathetic to Miyagi at the end of KK2. But dude trained CPT Turner to be an asshole, and seemed to approve of Kreese's dickish ways as well. When Da Eun first appears in Cobra Kai, coming off the plane Silver greets her but she was expecting Kreese and asks what happened to him. Remember also in KK3 when Silver mentions to Miyagi that his master KSY sends his apologies for Kreese's dishonorable actions at the tournament. It's not stated directly but I can only assume the shit they pulled in KK3 had the approval of KSY and maybe was his idea in the first place. We saw in Cobra Kai that KSY fucking HATES losing a tournament. He wasn't even mad that Quan pulled a knife on an unarmed opponent like a bitch, he was just mad that someone beat his student's ass.

And Silver lol. Kidnapping a baby would have been a new low even for him but as is, there's no way they could have redeemed him. Dude burned down another man's business, bribed a referee, beat the shit out of an innocent idiot and framed another man for it, etc. You could argue that Kreese awakened a sleeping dragon by coming to soy boy Terrance hat in hand and bringing him back into the fold, but Terry still did all that shit and was a full on bad guy.

Now Sensei Wolf was Mike Barnes redux. He was a hired gun brought in to kick ass but his only offenses were being a dick, abusing his students and eating the last two pieces of steak at the hotel in Barcelona. It's notable that after Johnny beat his ass, he respectfully bowed to him before walking off the mat. Possibly he gets redeemed down the line but he wasn't as far gone as Kreese and Silver. He's basically Kreese from KK1.

To much to cover at this time bc I’m drunk and been shoveling for 5 hrs straight and working out for 4 hours in between ( I never let snow storms beat me ) while there’s a lot of Hole plots in the writing ( many of the things that take place wouldn’t actually happen in martial arts if one knows ) it’s made to cater to entertainment and maybit gets ppl into actual taking it up etc etc .

For me what made Miyagi the best secretly was his boxing background ( this was never a thing in the movies ) when one understands the BoxinG concept it’s a huge advantage I was the best fighter in my school at age 17 just walking in ,no one ever beat me in sparring and even the sensai couldn’t hand.e me ( it is what it is ) and he was tough ) …some ppl are just made different even at 155 pounds then ,I remember he put me up against the biggest strongest guy at 6”7 240 pounds and I dropped hIm hard witha body shot after that need.es to say I didn’t last long there I went on my own way …

 

[elreece]

first season was fun.
Second season was meh
Third season was terrible.

Dropped it and haven't been back.

You know me too well. Master Kim Sun Yung instantly became my favorite character because i ALWAYS imagined him to be a korean master with long white hair and beard to match. I Freaked out when he turned out to be the exact appearance of my imagination since 2005.

Only difference is that I imagined him to be tall with lean muscle. But still close enough.


Homie, if you grew up during Japanese occupied Korea and then endure the korean war, you would be a moody prick. Also imperial Japanese soldiers were psychopaths of the highest order.

Also it was ominous how he implied that captain Turner disappearing was because of Kreese since he said:

"We learn by punishment, punishment for failing teammate, punishment for failing student,punishment failing ME!"

I think he kind of knew what Kreese since some of the captives might have also trained with master Kim and ratted kreese out but Master Kim could not really confirm it but only realize that people suffer and fail with Kreess around.

Also keep in mind that, Master Kim has been training people since the korean war which was 1950s and still had his dojang and Yoons family has trained with master Kim fir generations. It's clear that master Kim has been a positive influence on peoples lives that they trust him enough to send their kids and grandkids to train with him.

Meanwhile Cobra Kai open and then closed for 35 years then it changed management multiple times and has had many controversial moments.

Despite his asshole behavior you can see that master Kim having genuine care for his students. He has ingredients for medicine lined up and outside of training ground, he speaks with a gentle nurturing manner that touches your heart and soul in the most soothing way that nurtures your spirit with deep sincerity.

Master Kim is GOAT and I think ordering his granddaughter to take out Kreess was him finally confirming that Kreese took out his special student in captain Turner and that everytime Kreese enters people's lives, it leads to death like:

Captain Turner
Kwon
Dennis
Terry silver

Master Kim knew that Kreese is bad news. He was correct because Kreese manipulation led to his own demise and even Kreese himself perished.

When you fail master Kim, he would punish you but he would not choke you out and abandon you. Or kick you out for not being Cobra Kai material.


Agree about sensei Wolf. He was alternate universe Mike Barnes if mike went to sekai tekai and became World champion instead of getting banned.

Fun fact:

Original script for Mike Barnes was that he was a struggling instructor with a failing mma gym. Despite finding succees from karate to mma, he made financial bad decisions and Terry was supposed to give him a second chance. But sensei wolf was created 4 that role.

Another script was that He went to Ashram found yoga, then became a vegan then he would snap back to his bad boy ways. But that role was given to Tofu Terry.

But he was turned in to a furniture dork.

Someone that gets it!!!!

Yes both in Tang Soo Do and boxing we are taught the importance of footwork and evasion.

Like Mr. Miyagi said:

"When attack comes, No be there"

I can totally see Mr. Miyagi being a badass boxer. That and Tang Soo Do is very similar to Ricardo Lopez style of boxing. A legendary boxer undefeated in amateur and pro as well an amazing world champion.

He had a high guard, side stance to make himself a small target and evasive footwork.

Both Mr. Miyagi and Master Kim used that medicine. Also cobra kai fighters usually fought with bouncy agile stance while Mike Barnes used the linear forward charging shotokan karate style.

If Dana needs a reason to create a women's Atom weight he has it with Zara (Rayna)

 

[Brother Numsi]

Thought the show ended great.

The creators seem to be real fans of The Karate Kid franchise and gave the fans exactly what they wanted.

 

[ChickenBrother]

you can see that master Kim having genuine care for his students. He has ingredients for medicine lined up and outside of training ground, he speaks with a gentle nurturing manner that touches your heart and soul in the most soothing way that nurtures your spirit with deep sincerity.

But you make fair points about Kreese. Since KK1 he's been associated with failure and generally fucking things up. But I don't think KSY could have begrudged Kreese for offing Turner. That was just the two of them abiding by jungle law, in the same way KSY encouraged his students to prove themselves against each other. He was less bothered with Kwon's death than that he failed and brought shame to his dojo, and Turner was just some can who lost to his own student and then died with some fucking snakes.

I think the last straw with Kreese was picking Kwon to be team captain going into the sekai taikai. Remember Yoon was KSY's chosen star, and dude was a by the book machine who got the job done without being flashy. Dude was the Jon Fitch of Korean Cobra Kai, Ice Man to Kwon's Maverick. But Kreese liked Kwon's spunk and engineered Kwon's clowning of the other students. KSY probably felt Yoon would have better represented Cobra Kai and even threw out the side barb that Kwon's death was on Kreese.

 

[Osculater]

Imagine telling somebody you watch this show.

Imagine watching this show.

 

[Osculater]

So I saw this thread title and rushed to binge the last episodes before I accidentally saw any spoilers.

I kept waiting for the ending to suck, but it didn't. I thought it was a solid ending, bringing us back to the whole reason we loved this show in the first place.

Spoiler

I'm not upset about kreese and silver's ending. It was fitting for both of them. Kreese's apology tour was very well-written as well.

Not sure what you expected from KSW. He's like a hundred years old and still kicked his grand daughter's ass. I loved the fact that when she killed him his last words were complimenting her on her technique. Even though he was evil, he was a teacher at his core. He brought out greatness in her. Reminded me of JK Simmons in that movie whiplash.

And maybe I missed it but they never resolved why miyagi fought in the sekai Taikai, right?

They explained why he was accused of theft and all that, but him killing a guy in the tournament was never really explored any further. Daniel's dream just told him to accept it.

Spoiler

a guard stole Miyagi mom's pearl necklace and he beat his ass to get it back. Than gave it to Danielson's mom so she can pass it down to Sam.

 

[Osculater]

for a second I thoughts Lawrence was going to bust out the crane kick LOL

That has nothing to do with anything I said though
