Something I’d like to add, the actual look of Cobra Kai has changed drastically. The first few seasons felt realistically shot with lots of dark colors, but now it feels like Marvel with the flashy vibrant colors.
As a martial artist (albeit probably not as experienced as you), I have no issue using suspension of disbelief to enjoy this show. First of all, Cobra Kai never claimed to portray a realistic representation of karate competitions. I appreciate the exclusion of safety equipment as a way to make fight scenes more cinematic and aesthetically pleasing, and I appreciate the exclusion of colored belts because it would be a too "on the nose" way to show ranking within the dojos. With regards to the goofiness and the lack of realism, part of the KK universe charm is overhyping the importance of karate when it comes to how much people care about it and how useful it is in the context of solving real-world problems. Later seasons have also included a comedy aspect (that often relies on Johnny's goofiness) that, understandably, is not everyone's cup of tea. However, it is just a matter of personal taste.
My problem with Croba Kai is the drama. So much drama, and so much misunderstood, it was fun in the first three seasons but now it just feels tired. The character seems to grow and learn but they still make the same mistake again.
I understand that the cobra kai fighting might not be realistic anymore but me personally I think it makes it more entertaining and it is still one of my favorite shows
1st thing I feel is Cobra Kai focuses on Tang Soo Do or some kind of Korean martial art, not mainly about karate. 2nd thing is it has become more unrealistic after Netflix took over. They are just making the story longer tbh. 3rd I hoped they would focus more on people and life and how Johnny would succeed. But what they focused for all these seasons is more about Daniel and the tournament than the story.
In the original Karate Kid the tournament was blackbelt only and Mr Miyagi stole a black belt from the check in and gave it to Daniel. After that the franchise completely forgot about it.
@@creativevisiongaming they might do that in cobra kai like just gave everyone a black belt so they would be able to enter but at the dojo it makes no sense there all not different belts
Michael ironside did the voice for Darkside in the DCAU superman/justice league. he was awesome too. he also played a big bad guy in a 4 parter (4 episode) story in Walker texas Ranger one year.
The sixed season gets even goofier, I began to realize that I need to watch the show with my brain shut off, I enjoyed it way more when I wasn't trying to have a reasonable explanation to everything.
@@yeah3601they will explain how kreese escaped prison in part 2. also don't get how the show is "goofier" when that was more the earlier seasons. goofy also isn't bad tho.
Cobra Kai is really meant for entertainment and there has to be a real suspension of disbelief. I have thought more and more that Daniel and Johnny are reckless. They have students from all backgrounds and some have been abused. The character Tory is revealed in season 6 that her mother was physically abused by the husband, she is poor, working two jobs, mother is sick,...this is getting darker and more realistic to sadly what a lot of kids face in their lives.
I really liked Season 1 it was special for so many reasons, the teens weren't downright silly and overdramatic, and the old cast was re-introduced to near perfection, and this continued (albeit inconsistently) till Season 4. I started to feel disconnected from the show when Season 5 came out it just felt too outlandish for me and this carried over to Season 6. I still love the characters and I will definitely continue watching the show but I would really love the Season 1 and Season 2 vibes again.
Realism? Seriously? It's basically Star Wars/Game of Thrones with katate dojos. The world revolves around karate like Yugioh and trading cards. What are we doing here? It was always wholesale ridiculous.
did you watch Cobra kai through season 5? if so you may as well watch season six, and watch part 2 in november and part 3 in 2025. may as well see hot it all ends. what they do in this series though is they give more background on how cobra kai , kreese and silver and chozenand others. how and why and how they are. it gives insight. into what dorve them to do what they did
Guess you don't watch movies or TV shows. They're all fictional, full of CGI and stunt doubles. We watch for the story, and accept the unrealistic sometimes.
honestly i dont know how i feel about s6. its just so unrealistic. they made dimitri beat hawk like seriously? no way is dimitri of all people beating hawk. its insane to me that hawk wasnt an orignal for the team instead he was a replacement. most of us can agree hawk is a top 3 strongest teen so how on earth did he lose to dimitri and not be an original for the team. also kwon the new antagonist i really like him but i dont see any possible way miguel or robby are beating him. they guy beat 3 of the strongest people in his dojo with ease. ill always like cobrakai but its gotten so unrealistic
Two things we don’t know how good Kwon is relative to every both else, he’s only faced his team. Also we can’t it unrealistically if Miguel or Robby beat him because Daniel beat Johnny in KK1 when he shouldn’t have
johnny did NOT win 3 , he won 2. he won 2 in a row and was going to win his 3rd in a row had it not been for Daniel coming in in KK1, then daniel won the next year against barnes so they are each 2 time winners. as for the characters, daniel had a good mom, myahi in his life, mentors that helped him succeed. johnny had crappy parents and john kreese. so he wound up getting on beer and whatever , and was doing his work but then sleeping all day , which is why he never kept up with tech
You should probably watch it of the new tournament called the sekai takai I big huge world wide tournament wish I guess only top six students can compete wish Mr.Miyagi possibly fought in and his captain headband had blood in it wish seems like the sekai takai is a serious and dangerous tournament for kids you should give it a watch and tell us what you think of it
Seems like the show is about Miyagi-Do than Cobra Kai. I thought the name of the show is called Cobra Kai. Might as well change the name to Miyagi -Do. 😡
Always this argument "Its called _Cobra Kai_ ". Yes sure, but _Cobra Kai_ is still a part of the Miyagi-universe aka Miyagi-verse, like _The Karate Kid_ too. You could create a series named _Snake Mountain_ in the _Masters of the Universe_ franchise, but it wouldnt change the fact that Skeltor is the antagonist and He-Man the protagonist. Means in the Miyagiverse, Miyagi-Do stands for good while Cobra Kai stands for bad, even Johnny realized CK is Kreese's legacy, not his own. Buttom line is even if the show's name is _Cobra Kai_ doesnt mean they gonna win all the time or the focus has to be on that dojo. This dojo represents the antagonist Kim Sunyung, while Miyagi-Do represents the protagonist Mr Miyagi. And now after 5 seasons its clear: Cobra Kai are the bad guys, Miyagi-Do are the good guys. There is nothing good anymore about the CK dojo. A series named _Snake Mountain_ wouldnt mean Skeltor and his evil army would win all the time, or are more important as the good guys (He-Man and his team). To avoid confusions maybe it would have been better from the start to name show _Eagle Fang_ , but I am very sure in 2017 the show creators didnt think that Johnny one day would name his own dojo Eagle Fang.
Lighten up. Its just a light hearted tv show with alot of heart.
QUIET!

Because first two seasons weren't modern Netflix garbage. They were UA-cam originals.

Exactly, but it's always had the comedy aspect, but yeah it's been ramped up.

wrong it was brown and blacks belts only seems like u forgot

@alvarovela5188 exactly, don't even try to think about how Kreese can survive Cobra venom or how he manages to travel as a fugitive

Ms Holmes you need to watch season six it will surprise you so much. I wanna say more but I don’t wanna spoil it if you decide to watch it
@@Imm_jasonn I might have to check it out!

I like that they're ending it before it jumps the shark.
season 5 is the best season in terms of character work. it isn't even outlandish at all and terry silver delivers the best villain in the whole show

this review makes no sense yeah it's unrealistic in some parts but no tv show is 100% realism, show is greatly written and has awesome character arcs.
johnny did NOT win 3 , he won 2. he won 2 in a row and was going to win his 3rd in a row had it not been for Daniel coming in in KK1, then daniel won the next year against barnes so they are each 2 time winners.
as for the characters, daniel had a good mom, myahi in his life, mentors that helped him succeed.
johnny had crappy parents and john kreese. so he wound up getting on beer and whatever , and was doing his work but then sleeping all day , which is why he never kept up with tech
It’s a fictional show… ripping it for not being realistic is too easy. I like it because it takes me away from reality… it’s not that deep.
@@C_R_B_R_E_A_K_R you know what, fair enough. I respect that.
well it's nearly done so you may as well watch the rest - which am sure you will anyway.. ;-)
You should probably watch it of the new tournament called the sekai takai I big huge world wide tournament wish I guess only top six students can compete wish Mr.Miyagi possibly fought in and his captain headband had blood in it wish seems like the sekai takai is a serious and dangerous tournament for kids you should give it a watch and tell us what you think of it
the new tournamen is going to be stupid
season 6 is decent i think.edge of your seat action.Its a watchable season i think.Continues on the Tory and Sam drama.lol.
Okay should be your last video on it then!
Just give it another chance
Well I might have to if people keep saying it’s good!😊
Who cares it’s entertaining

@chrisbach1533
What constitutes a protagonist and an antagonist is highly subjective, dumbass.
