    Growing up in the 80's, The Karate Kid films are some of my favorites, with the original being among my favorite movies of all time. So I was excited and concerned when I heard about this show. And man I was blown away by it. I can honestly say that it's not nostalgia that makes me enjoy this show so much, but the fact that the characters all have such good development. Can't wait for Season 3!

    Bro I love the boom in popularity cobra kai is getting right now. I've been watching since close to the premiere on UA-cam at the start. Im really syched to see to more people watching it now. Also great vid Mr. Leach, I pretty much agreed with all your points on the show.

      There is actually a blu-ray for Season 1. I bought it on Amazon. It was an import, I think from Australia, but it is an all region disc. I’m hoping they release the second season the same way.

    I liked the Karate Kid movies but I did not love them. At first I had no interest in watching Cobra Kai but once it came to Netflix I said what the hell and gave it a chance and boy I was glad I did. It really is an awesome show after watching both seasons. I think I love the fact that they delve and flesh out Johnny's character because he was always misunderstood but he was always badass. I liked that we got to see how things turned out for Daniel and Johnny years later. I love the role reversals and like a circle of life comes around. Miguel is a like a young Daniel because he gets bullied and has no father figure. Johnny becomes that new father figure in his life and instead of Miguel learning the Miyagi way he learns the Cobra Kai way. Robby who is kinda like a young Johnny at first ends up learning the Miyagi way and kinda becomes like a young Daniel. I love that it mixes that 80's vibe with a modern vibe. After watching both seasons it made me appreciate the movies even more and I can't wait for Season 3!

      Now, I've GOTTA' start watching this series! I've read several comments saying that "Johnny is misunderstood" and "Johnny isn't the asshole that we all think he is", things of this nature. It's like, how do you misinterpret the leader of a bunch of bullies, the biggest asshole out of them all? Guess I'll find out when I watch, lol! Btw, I'm not saying anybody's wrong, after all, I haven't seen the series, y'all have. So, it'll be very interesting to find out, lol!

  • @lennoxmate4064
    @lennoxmate4064 4 роки тому +1

    At first I was slightly disappointed that Johnny was so bitter from his defeat to Daniel still after saying “You’re okay LaRusso” at the end of the first movie. That soon disappeared watching the first season. Johnny is a great character. He’s conflicted. He’s a real character. He makes mistakes but he also improves as a person. He’s fascinating to watch.

    I agree that it does feel like their evolution feels like it comes too fast, but I also feel like Danny's training from wax-on wax off to having the ability to apply it to karate defense is rushed in the movie too. If these things were given realistic timing, it would serve very little but to make the pacing of the show more dull than it needs to be.

    Much agreed with your whole review. Being a fan of the original, this one pretty much brought a modern flavor with a deep nostalgia. It stays the same with its cheesiness and teen drama. Also I agree on the rushed character development, especially Robby's. I love the flashback scenes + 80s music, just sends me waaay back. Just for that I will watch on. Thanks, pleasure to watch as always!

    However, I am surprised how much I enjoyed Cobra Kai (my 11 year old asked me to watch it with him). The Johnny/Daniel bonding episode was pretty funny. I do agree that the teenager “love” drama was ridiculous and over the top.

    I watch alot of your content and don't often leave comments, shame on me I know!
    Anyway, I agree with absolutely every Positive and the 2 minor Negatives. When I first heard of Cobra Kai, I was like meh this will be awful and i didn't bother with it and no one I know mentioned it once when it was on UA-cam Red I believe. Now tho as its on Netflix Suddenly everyone I know is raving about it and i had to try it.
    Holy shit!!!
    It's absolutely Brilliant and it takes me right back to wanting to be Johnny Lawrence, Daniel Son was to soft, I love the Villans in films!!!
    The modern Teeny Social media stuff does grate a bit, but overall its a Brilliant Series and throwback to original Classic Movie. I'm onto Season 2 now, a few episodes in and it's really good so far.
    Absolutely Top Notch Review 👍

But I've lost so much since then and am not in a good place mentally for such an overdose of nostalgia. I enjoyed it though, but i guess im stuck in the 80s, just like Johnny.

    Love the movie series, never even considered this series. May have to change the second part! Especially to find out why Daniel and Johnny are on opposite sides, again! Daniel dusted Johnny(although Johnny more than held his own), earned his respect, though after the beginning of part 2, The Kai are never shown, again, so you never find out if Daniel and them actually became friends. For cryin' out loud, even that aggravating prick Tommy agreed with Mr. Miyagi! Though, it does help that Johnny was literally in Kreese's clutches at the time.....RIP to Tommy's actor, name escapes me.

Plus the very last episode had me in complete shock when Miguel got badly injured and there’s rumors that there’s a possibility that he might make it or Ali might end up saving his life plus if she does come back I think that would be awesome.
