Quote HistoryQuoted: I think the point is we're supposed to root for Johnny most ot the time. They write it where we're supposed to see both sides but Daniel comes off like a douche a lot of times. Daniel is not supposed to be a bad guy. I think what makes the series great is that neither Daniel nor Johnny are bad guys or necessarily good guys. They are shaped by their experiences and both still deal with issues from their past, shared and otherwise. Johnny is haunted by his bad situations, bad choices, and bad luck. And, despite the years that have passed, they never truly settled the score between them. The tension when Daniel sees Johnny in the dealership for the first time is palpable. Eventually, they both draw a line in the sand and neither backs down. Their relationship is complicated and the actors make us feel like we're neck deep in it as well. |

The you tube video that explains how Johnny is the good guy and Daniel is the aggressor is pretty funny. I'm sure some enterprising fan will take the original movies and re-edit them at some point.

Very honest and believable--even though the part is not that dynamic. |

Normally I wouldn’t care much but rumor is 3 will end on a big cliffhanger. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They balance one another out in their best and moments. That fits the theme of the story. Btw, Henggler does a great job in her role as well. Very honest and believable--even though the part is not that dynamic. It feels like a modern parable about life. When you're young, everything seems black and white. Right and wrong are separated by a bright line. There's little ambiguity about it, per Karate Kid. As we get older, that bright line starts to fade before disappearing. One day, it's all confusing shades of gray. We see that evolution in Johnny and Daniel. They both believe they are right. Daniel is judgmental. Johnny believes he's been treated unfairly. He's paid a horrible price for his mistakes and he just wants to make things right, if that's even possible anymore. There's great chemistry between William and Ralph. They make you feel what they are experiencing. William Zabka may be the most underrated actor in Hollywood in several decades. |

Quote HistoryGood :) should be for some really interesting drama. I really like the show. Probably one of my favorite- up there with Breaking Bad. Mainly, because of seeing the movie as a ~12 year old. Amazing how they not only pulled off a squeal, but morphed it into a very watchable show.

I watched the first 2 episodes when Youtube had it for free. I really liked the show, I just wasn't willing to pay for Youtube for one show.
So pumped that it's on Netflix. I know what I'll be doing tonight! I've always liked the fanfic alternate theory that Daniel was a bully from NJ. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Three? Never seen three. Does that even have Danny? Is that where the scenes with Krees choking Johnny come from? The choking scene is from the beginning of Karate Kid 2. The second sequel does have Daniel in it. The governing board for the tournament that Johnny appeals to in season 1 in order to reverse the life-ban against Cobra Kai mentions the name Terry Silver, a character from Karate Kid 3. There is another movie called The Next Karate Kid. Daniel is not in that one. I don't know if anything that happened in that movie is addressed in the series. I don't think so. |

I think I'm blurring movies from my childhood. The Next Karate Kid was what I was thinking as part three. 2 I just remember the drums and the ice, and everything in Okinawa. That, and the inexplicable lack of references to the girl from the first as Danny puts the moves on an Okinawan gal. And that song that got played, played, and overplayed. Glory of love. |

Quoted: I knew about it when it came out, but it fell off my radar. We watched Karate Kid last week and I remembered it so we started to watch it. Aside from being hilarious I think they did a really good job with the writing. Johnny explaining the series of events with the flashbacks in episode 8 was a riot. Same here man! I heard about it from a friend like a year ago but it fell off my radar. I watched Karate Kid on Friday night because its my all time favorite movie ever! I signed on to Netflix last night and sure enough it suggested Cobra Kai, so I was like hell yeah! I watched the entire first season last nite, I'm loving it! So funny how washed up Johnny became, he's just a guy stuck on the 80's, but I like his old school mentality about how kids these days are pussies. My wife likes it too and she was "oh my God, that guy is like so you". He even drinks banquets like me, cheers Johnny!

The other movies don't have the Johnny-Daniel rivalry, although there are call outs in the series to things that occur during the second and third movies. It'd be interesting for Hillary Swank to appear, given she knew and trained with Mr. Miyagi. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This has been an ongoing question for some time, every time a KK thread pops up.

I bet Carmel gets a kick out of watching people speculate. My new guess: Zabka's stunt double!? Well, my affiliation with the show appears to have come at an end. So I’ll be in the peanut gallery with everyone else |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It has its moments but we have some other ARF members that work film/tv and I’m sure they’ll agree, after awhile it’s a job. Lots of times you don’t even criss paths with other people working on the same series/movie. Getting up super early or working late hours also sucks balls. Long hours, with the right cast/crew the hours aren’t as bad though. Lot of waiting around. If you get access to decent catering that’s also a plus All of this. For those asking, the industry is smaller than you think. So, you cross paths with a bunch of people that you've worked with in the past or have just worked with someone you know well. It is a job though, so it loses its luster pretty quickly. Lots of waiting, but when it's time to do your job, you better not fuck up. So, you learn to work during the time you wait. |
