I like the fact that the series is told, at least initially, from the perspective of the villain from the first film. I also enjoyed seeing the film's characters represented in the series, but older, as happens in the future.

One of the only shows that actually ends well. This series from beginning to end does full justice to the original Karate Kid trilogy. I would even go as far as to say it surpasses them. The character developement is superb and the martial arts choreography is very impressive. It’s also very funny. Highly recommend!

“Cobra Kai never dies” Oh, how I loved watching Cobra Kai. My little brother got me to watch this show since it had a lot of karate just like The Karate Kid movies. He used to do martial arts when he was younger, which sparked his interest to this show. Then, when I first watched this show, I thought the show was corny, but as I watch more episodes, I got so invested into the story and action of Cobra Kai.🥹 Johnny Lawrence had the greatest character development I’ve ever seen in any media. After that crane kick to the face from Daniel Larusso in the All Valley Karate Tournament, his life went downhill. He became a drunk, broken man who despised Daniel Larusso. Later in his adulthood life, he would encounter Miguel Diaz gettng bullied by some kids from school, and Johnny would defend Miguel by fighting his bullies with Cobra Kai Karate. After Miguel saw Johnny defending him from those kids, he begged to become his student and to learn Karate. Once Johnny brought Cobra Kai back, the rest was history. 🙂‍↕️ There came many Karate tournaments, returns of the original Cobra Kai senseis, and conflicts between dojos. But in the end, Cobra Kai won the biggest Karate tournament in the world with Johnny Lawrence becoming the sensei champion, Miguel Diaz becoming the male champion, and Tory Nichols, known as the Queen Cobra becoming the female champion.😮‍💨 Johnny from the start of the movie was at his lowest in his life. He didn’t had anyone close to him and his son, Robby Keene, had a bad relationship with him. After 6 seasons, he becomes a changed man who finally found peace in his life, having a loving wife, Miguel’s mom, a daughter, a successful dojo, and 2 loving sons, Miguel and Robby. 😌 Daniel Larusso in this movie was iconic too. There were episodes where he befriends his former enemies to help train his students. Characters like Chozen Togashi and Mike Barnes helped him train his students of Miyagi-Do. ✌️ Both Johnny and Larusso would then face a common adversary, Terry Silver, a former Cobra Kai sensei who ruthlessly framed John Kreese, another former Cobra Kai sensei, psychologically abused Daniel Larusso by manipulating him, and corrupted Cobra Kai itself. This sensei is such a stubborn, obnoxious sensei who won’t let go of the past. He had to bribe the referee to win an All Valley Tournament. 😭 I absolutely love the side characters in this show. Sam Larusso, Demetri Alexopoulos, Eli Moskowitz, Kenny Payne, Robby Keene, Devon Lee, Kyler Park, Kwon Jae-Sung, and of course, Bert were amazing side characters. Lowkey, I didn’t like Anthony Larusso. He was such a bully to Kenny, one of my favorite characters, but I guess his best feat was exposing Terry Silver. 🤷‍♂️ There’s a lot for me to talk about for this show because this show was everything to me. I did end up finishing this show last year in September. Finising season 6 was the best thing I did for this show. I’ll never forget Cobra Kai. 🥹
