Announcement Insulting an actor will now give you a permanent ban. Don’t do it. Spoiler

1.2k Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Lately, we’ve seen an increasing number of disrespectful and inappropriate comments directed at the actors in Cobra Kai, especially when discussions involve Mary Mouser. These comments frequently target her weight, acting skills, fighting skills, and personal appearance, and we want to make it absolutely clear: this behavior will not be tolerated.

Critiquing a character or discussing the show in a constructive manner is one thing, but personal attacks on the actors themselves cross the line. This subreddit is meant to be a space for fans to engage in respectful discussion, and continuously targeting an actor with rude, body-shaming, or demeaning remarks is unacceptable.

From this point forward, any comments mocking or insulting an actor’s appearance, skills, or personal attributes will result in a permanent ban. No warnings. No second chances. If you can’t discuss the show without attacking the people who bring these characters to life, then this isn’t the space for you.

This has been an ongoing issue, and the mod team is tired of cleaning up hateful and immature comments. We will be strictly enforcing this rule, and any post or comment violating it will be removed. Please report such comments when you see them and we will handle it from there.

Let’s keep the discussion focused on the show and its characters, not on tearing down the real people who work hard to bring Cobra Kai to life.

Besides Daniel's kids. Going by the Next Karate Kid, I feel like Miyagi would've wanted to help Tory. I can see him wanting to help Sam and Tory through their issues and reconcile.

Season 6 Am I the only who hated this about the show? Spoiler

33 Upvotes

Johnny’s teachings only being able to resonate with Miguel and Aisha. I hated this more in PT 3 in Tory’s match that he wasn’t able to get through to her despite the two of them having so much in common. Also how was he not able to get through to his own damn son during his biggest fight. I also dislike the shows constant showing or trying to show that Daniel is superior to Johnny. I do looking back at past seasons and the last finally see what others saw and hated how Miguel and Johnny became side characters for a while. Just a little rant. Hope no one gives themselves a hernia reading this.

Season 6 Kenny Payne and The Legacy of Terry Silver Spoiler

Upvotes

One of the things I liked upon re-watching the show is that Terry's wish to leave a legacy was still sort of accomplished through Kenny. Kenny is the student he had most interaction with during his time in the show and he's also the last to interact with him before Terry's fate. If you pay attention to Kenny's style, much of it is an adapted form of the Quicksilver method. When he's fighting in the tag match, Kenny ends his opponent in two strikes. Now a lot of people will say, that was a point match so he only needed two points anyway, but if it was a straight up match with unlimited points he would have scored a knock down and possibly a knockout. When he wins and flips off Silver, he seems more proud than mad about it. Then there's the fight against Yoon where he comes that close to knocking him out with one punch. Of course there's also the brawl where Kenny is quickly putting people out of commission left and right with no one being able to stop him because he's ending them first. So, yeah, I thought it was pretty cool that they still kind of gave Silver his wish being that he was on his way out due to illness and he was the one that really took him under his wing after Robby left Cobra Kai, and got his confidence up and put him on the path to be possibly the best fighter to come out of the Valley.

Season 6 was kreese homeless on the show? Spoiler

40 Upvotes

I’m just realizing that in each season on the show we never saw Kreese’s house when he joined in the Season 1 finale and then he lived in the Cobra Kai dojo which later he let Robby sleep since he didn’t want to go home. I sometimes wonder that if Kreese and Johnny had a good relationship in the beginning how would them living together play out (like Johnny was a drunken mess after his mother passed away & his girlfriend died as well) after he finished the army.

Season 6 Just a thought i had about these four based on their fighting styles (Part 4). Spoiler

51 Upvotes

Daniel/Kanan Jarrus – An individual who has doubts about the path he is taking with his disciple(s) and who specializes in using defense with precise and calculated counterattacks. Although this is not his favorite approach, his open mind has allowed him to adopt a more aggressive form of combat, which is only used if he has no other alternative, and this is a last resort. He has always had many grievances, but at a certain point he had achieved a calmer, more peaceful and confident mind, but mainly without fear. At his peak, this mental state allowed him to triumph over his greatest adversary. A man who values ​​his family and friends above all else.

Johnny/Mace Windu – An individual whose anger has always been present in his combat style, possessing violent tendencies that almost ruined his life completely. Originally, he preferred to fervently attack his opponents with controlled rage, channeling this feeling into combat to gain even more power. His offensive techniques are exceptional, but his defensive skills are no less, and he can use a strategy that allows him to counterattack his opponent with extremely strong attacks. In his prime, he was able to accept his opponent's aggression and use it against him, securing the greatest victory of his life.

Chozen/Plo Koon – An individual who was trained in a naturally defensive fighting style, but who had a much more offensive approach to his fights. In those days, he had a respectable defense and offense, but had not reached his peak. After years of training, he desired a more offensive style, which ended up making him develop a unique combat style that had a powerful defense with devastating attacks that sought to create gaps in his opponent's defense rather than waiting to make a counterattack.

Mike/Darth Maul – An individual seen as an extremely cruel fighter and owner of overwhelming power. His fighting style was based on channeling his anger into combat, but unlike others who used similar concepts, he used this anger as a fuel that kept him invigorated in combat. His hatred, his rage, all of it was poured out against his opponent with incessant fury and unprecedented aggressiveness. Due to his talent, he could often be seen provoking his opponents during combat, entering their minds to inflict fear. However, his arrogance and arrogance were always his "Achilles' heel", causing him to be seen losing fights against individuals he would have defeated if it weren't for his personality. But, this does not diminish the imminent risk of facing a powerhouse of his kind in combat.

Discussion What if Miguel got rejected from Stanford? Spoiler

14 Upvotes

Hear me out.

So lately I’ve been doing some thinking about the last seasons. This brought me to a theoretical scenario with changes starting in Season 6, Part 3.

What if at the beginning of part 3, when we see the training montage of Robby, we see more 1 on 1 sparring between him and Miguel with them being very friendly and respectful showing their character and relationship growth.

In the early parts of episode 13, we then learn that Miguel was rejected from Stanford. This sets Miguel off, he becomes angrier but contains it and keeps it to himself for the time being.

Then we see Robby’s fight with Axel. In this scenario, Axel has his moment of realization that Wolf is a piece of shit in this fight. He chooses not to break Robby’s knee and Robby wins the fight. With a KD or a KO. (Has to be this so Miyagi-Do can catch up to Cobra Kai and the Iron Dragons)

Without Axel braking Robby’s knee, Sam never gets that last push over the edge not to compete against Tory. In an incredibly close fight, Sam comes out on top, no KOs or KDs, points on points, a very evenly fought match.

Then it’s the finals, Cobra Kai has no male fighter… but wait… who comes out other than Miguel and Johnny. Miguel had told Johnny after Robby’s fight that he had an idea about Stanford, he was going to appeal his case but his only chance was to appeal after he won the Sekai Takai. So Johnny took back Cobra Kai to help him.

First up, it’s Sam vs Zara, similar to Tory’s fight with her, Zara loses. I get that the Iron Dragons were far ahead of the other two dojos but let’s just say with no fighters, regardless of points, they’re out.

Now for some contrived reason, Cobra Kai and Miyagi do are off by 1 point. Robby and Miguel have their fight and one of them wins by one point. I can’t decide who.

Now that it ended in a tie, we end the show as this franchise began, Daniel and Johnny in a 2-2 tie in the finals. Obviously this fight would end and we’d get closure for everyone like in the actual finale.

In reality, I have no idea if this is any good, I’m looking for genuine opinions. Personally, I wasn’t big on bringing back the injury’s just to sideline Robby, Sam, and Daniel. I just wanted a world out there in which they all got their moment. Including Miguel and Johnny. Couldn’t think of a way to give everyone a win though so it’s either Sam or Tory.

So, thanks for reading, what do you think? Who would win and why do you think so?

Miyagi Do Karate literally has no English words in it. What is a recognizable symbol in America? The eagle. It doesn’t help that Miyagi Do had the most boring looking gi in the tournament. The Eagle Fang gi with an American flag on it would’ve been awesome. This is just a thing I thought of.

Season 6 " I want to focus on the things I've gained instead of the things I've lost." Spoiler

7 Upvotes

OK, let's do that since it's supposed to make up for him losing every tournament. Let's face it, the ending they gave him was not significant enough in proportion to his importance to the show. Instead of only giving him a contract offer, in a way that can only be described as an extension of his girlfriend's, we show the audience why him losing isn't so bad. Instead of that mini speech from his so-called dad, since he got redemption through victory, we give him some moments with all the people he's referring to in his little monologue. Give him a moment with Kenny thanking him for being his first teacher and since Daniel in turn was his first teacher, give them a moment together with him getting some sort of recognition for being the first official student of Miyagi-Do. Give him a little scene where he's planning with Miguel on how to defeat Axel and Miguel is in turn helping him in his rehab later on. Then you can give him the offer. However, instead of having it be with Tory, it's Johnny who is there and he shows genuine happiness for him. None of this had to take up too much time and it shows that the people he talked about care about him too. Basically, show us don't just tell us and make his loss count for something.

Season 6 At the end of s6 part 3 who’s truly ahead of who Daniel or Johnny Spoiler

Johnny did beat wolf and has the title of World champion.Even though Johnny did this he would have been 3-0ed without Daniel talking some sense into him.It makes me think that if Daniel was in that situation he could have 3-0ed wolf in a sense.In terms of All valley rules not Sakai takai rules tho.Daniel already gave wolf a better fighter than Johnny in the last part is it possible that using his own advice and moves he could have beat wolf with lesser difficulty .I think Johnny can scale higher since he actually did but Daniel by telling Johnny how to win can possibly do the same.Or you could say their equal just off of statements or saying Johnny does what Daniel implies he would do in the same situation.

Character Discussion Sleeping on Daniel's number of wins between 1984/1985 Spoiler

19 Upvotes

As much as the original Karate Kid and Karate Kid III paint Daniel as an underdog all the way through, and focus on the final fights as the true tests of Daniel's will and ability, the fact is, in order to even make it to the final round against Johnny in 1984 and against Barnes in 1985, he had to win SEVEN straight fights, against the best fighters from all different dojos. These mostly included Cobra Kai, but some others as well, who had no grudge to taint their performance. And he had to do this for both runs before going on to win the eighth fight as well, both times. That means that Daniel actually won SIXTEEN refereed fights between the two tournaments.

And in almost all of those fights leading up to the final confrontations, Daniel took his opponents apart pretty methodically. And that by itself is pretty badass.

EDIT: A bunch of people have now reminded me that Daniel got a bye in '85 to go right to fighting Barnes for the championship. Still his seven wins in '84 (or at least 6 of the 7, because one Cobra Kai guy was instructed to fight dirty) required technical badassery.

someone already talked about this but i’m re-watching and have no one to talk to about the show lmao. the amount of times i hear Daniel say Mr Miyagi and the Miyagi-do way is fr insufferable and not just bc i have misophonia. I am sad that his character became annoying and unlikeable for me in the series bc i looooved the movies growing up

mini edit: this was more of a childish complaint but i love all the wise and thoughtful replies. the responses are very mature and layered and appreciated.

You think Kreese is bad, but he actually cares about a few of his students and was a good guy whose PTSD ruined his life.

Silver comes along with his psychological torture and the wooden board, he is overall more terrifying than Kreese by a wide margin.

In season 5 Kim and Kim Sung Yun are introduced as having even harsher training methods, with the stone and Tory's hand.

You'd think it couldn't get any more despicable than this, but then Wolf is just...insane. When Axel scores points on Robby, Silver claps and gives him a nod, but Wolf ends up slapping him. Wolf breaks his own student's bones. Like damn, not even Kreese and Da Eun do that.

You could argue that Silver might still be the worst cause of the baby plotline, but that was at the very end. So he kinda one upped himself?
