Cobra Kai S3 [OT] The feel good story of 2021
- Thread starter skrskg
- Start date
Let's be honest though, Eye of the Tiger straight up murders you're the best, so Stallone made the right call there.
Rocky V isn't bad because it has a street fight though. Its bad because of everything else, like writing and acting. Stuff that Cobra Kai nails.
Will the show address COVID? Doesn't seem like it would be too hard if season 3 ended December 2019. A time jump could also be a chance to explain why the cast looks older.
The acting in Rocky V is pretty OK actually, Stallone's son does a very good job.
Rocky V was redeemed as a concept anyway by Creed which is basically a similar kind of story. Creed is to the Rocky series what Cobra Kai is to Karate Kid.
I don't even know what I mean exactly but the Star Wars sequels should have been more like Creed and Cobra Kai
Let's hope not. This really isn't a show where I need Covid. I would love a Johnny reacts to Covid special though.
Every song from S2E8 - Cobra Kai, "Glory of Love" | WhatSong
Listen to every song from S2E8 - Cobra Kai, "Glory of Love", with scene descriptions.www.what-song.com
The song Glory of Love was not used in the episode Glory of Love. Or any other episode. They are saving it.
Yeah I was wondering how I missed that. They used Rock N' Roll Over You from KK2 this past season during the soccer scene, but they haven't used the song Glory of Love, they are probably saving it.
I think that point has been made before and it's not entirely unfair. Creed and Cobra Kai do the whole "next generation plus the old generation" thing way better. Especially CK indulges in nostalgia a lot but still is fresh and new and evolves even the older characters in ways that feel natural and not "well, this would be convenient for the plot tho".
They're not addressing COVID, showrunners have already confirmed
I'm glad about that too, it's gonna date so many shows. Honestly I expect this TV season to be like the writer's strike season of 07-08. Less episodes and generally a lower quality of show, maybe not for Cobra Kai but for a hell of a lot of shows
As a "new to the Internet and Facebook" user, Johnny is primed to go all the way down the China/5g/vaccine conspiracy rabbit hole.
The only problem with comparing SW with Creed and Cobra Kai, is that structurally they're insanely different from what's expected from a SW film. Creed is much smaller movie, and can focus almost entirely on the main character and his relationship with those around him. Cobra Kai is a show with multiple episodes to spend developing its cast, and even then it kind of drops the ball for some.
The sequel trilogy in comparison has to introduce a new status quo, develop its characters, and have massive stakes. It definitely failed to successfully do that, but I don't think fans would have been happy with a smaller scale Creed like film with Luke training an apprentice, and there was no way for a film to have the time to develop a cast like Cobra Kai.
None of this takes away from the impressive success of Cobra Kai though. This series has no right being as good as it is. I completely dismissed it when I first heard about it, and am now enjoying it a lot. It exists in a weird, slightly exaggerated reality, but it is still a lot of fun.
Redo that first fight scene in the gas station parking lot - the bullies are picking on Miguel for wearing a mask. Johnny beats the shit out of them because "masks are badass."
Cobra Kai season 1: Daniel has gone missing looking for the sacred Miyagi scrolls
Creed has gotta be my favorite revival of an old franchise but Cobra Kai has been doing a great job. They're doing fantastic filling in the gap Miyagi left with Johnny and Daniel. But it would still have been nice if Miyagi actor was alive to appear in this :(
I'm sure there is a Karen in his apartment building ready to connect. Or it wouldn't be long after discovering Youtube that the algorithm takes him there. Poor, gullible Johnny.
In case anyone needed confirmation, this show is intentionally trying to be live action anime
We LOVE to discuss the characters of the show with a sort of Dragon Ball Z mentality, which is a big storytelling influence for us, and 9:17 is a capitulation of one of our favorite moments of the series, when Chozen "goes super-saiyan" and demonstrates the pressure point technique on Daniel. Now Daniel channels Chozen's teachings and turns them on Kreese. It's beyond epic and beautiful and gives us a chance to go absolutely ham in the orchestra, with a fortissimo fanfare driving us to the conclusion of this gargantuan showdown.

Cobra Kai exists in some alternate reality where there's no cops and kids are anime warriors, a covid story would make no sense.
And it's called "Duel of the Snakes"??? NiiiiiiiceIn case anyone needed confirmation, this show is intentionally trying to be live action anime

I liked season 1. Seasons 2 and 3 would have been better if they toned down the high school drama.
Love this show, and loved this season. So many fun call backs. Honestly couldn't of turned out better IMO.
I did exactly that today for the Lynnwood location for dinner after seeing the Seattle times article. I've always gone to the Seattle location in the past but never quite made the connection who he was. Just saw tons of celeb photos all over and just thought it was celebs visiting because of how popular/good kona was. Damn haha.
Nah Eye of the Tiger is over played.
Also who wants to be the eye of a fucking tiger? Why wouldn't you want to be the best?
I feel like (S3 finale spoilers)
Hawk's turn needed just another beat to really sell it. Like really show that Dimitri was going to get his arm broken again, or real pain, or something - that one thing to push him over the edge. Not just showing us the same thing that Hawk himself has been doing the whole time.
I posted the picture the other day. One wearing red, other blue. It was intentional for sure!
This struck me to the core but realizing it, Robbie is Connor. Bad acting, the looks and tge constant mood swings. I cant unsee it now. Thanks.
She reminds me of Faith from Buffy a lot, both in looks and behavior.
For all the complaints about where Hawk's story is going, his actor probably sells the fighting the best out of anyone on the show. His physicality is leaps and bounds above everyone else.
She sure is. Thank God Johnny didn't fuck that up by trying to get with Ali.
Nobody is complaining about the dude's acting, everyone knows he's legit good
just needed an extra scene or two to make the story work better, that isn't on the actor
