Cobra Kai (spoilers strike first in the crane kick position)

Don’t have to have, but if you did, you get to really enjoy the nostalgic parts that might get lost on you if you haven’t.

Finished up Season 2 of Cobra Kai. Not the ending I was expecting.

Looking forward to Season 3, and curious where they go from here?

Just finished as well. Some impressive choreography in the final episode.

I wonder if they were guaranteed another season before writing that finale, if not it’s kind of a huge dick move to leave a non-guaranteed show on like, 5 concurrent cliffhangers.

So they released the briefest of brief trailer for S3

looks like they are bringing back the main villain of Karate Kid 2 to keep the story going

Man fuck him he was lame, I want Terry Silver back in the mix

That’s an… odd angle to take. I’ll have to watch it again. My hunch was that Johnny would take over Miaygi-Do after Daniel’s wife told him no more karate and they would work together to take down Cobra Kai with Hawk and Spikey Bangles as the villains

2:12

first 2:12 is just recap

that trailer recap lifted a lot of my favorite scene of the series but it wasn’t the same without one little thing

I haven’t watched it yet! Thanks for reminding me. This week is so busy I forgot it was Friday.

NOW SPEAKING OF ELIZABETH SHUE. She killed it in The Boys S1. So I finished Cobra Kai season 2 last night and let me just say I am hyped out of my mind for the possibility she comes back in s3. The season finale was terrific, and rumors of them taking s3 to Okinawa suggest a story that will continue to add surprising value to the original movies.

I mean, shes pretty much guaranteed back in S3 since shes no longer around for the boys right? They dont leave Johnny where he was at the end of that episode without her back in S3, and since they have gotten pretty much every original actor back (including the Cobra Kai goon squad) it would be really weird to recast her

For sure. No way they tease that and don’t follow through. It’d be different if she was like Kelly McGillis from Top Gun. Kelly is retired and could give a fuck about the sequel LOL. But Elizabeth Shue still has an active and AMAZING acting career. I think she’s putting out better stuff now than ever.

I remember scrolling by some vague disappointment with Cobra Kai S2. Not so with me. Jonny and Cobra Kai evolving as a philosophy and person is surprisingly compelling. All of the characters, really. I’m digging all of their arcs, their conflicts with each other.

You weren’t kidding about the choreography in that final fight scene at the high school. Holy shit! The actors must have trained all season.

As my wife and I have been watching the Boys (we’re almost caught up), I have not turned down an opportunity to make cheesy jokes about how Daniel Larusso wouldn’t like Homelander.

Also, Conan interviewed Ralph Macchio, who said that they have filmed some of Cobra Kai S3 in Okinawa.

I heard about that! Very exciting.

I missed this story. Could you retell it or link me to the post? :popcorn:

He bought a car from Daniel LaRusso with his kids and not-wife

It’s a joke. I’m in S2 for about one second, posing with my kids and Ralph Macchio. The screencap is somewhere in the thread above.

Anyone else find Miyagi Do people just insufferable? Is that an intentional choice I wonder? Strikes me as no.

It was during the “We need to sell 10 cars, today, or we wont hit quota” montage

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

I’m still disappointed my wife couldn’t get off of work that day. Would’ve been the GOAT family photo. The fake wife in the shot does actually kind of look like an alternate universe version of my sister-in-law, though.
