This will be wonderful! It will be cheesy, but I can't wait!
Cobra Kai (Karate Kid)
- Thread starter VTXCyRyD
- Start date
Premise and that straight-up image looked super fun and promising. However, after watching that trailer, I think it looks SUPER TV-movie cheesey and almost guaranteed terrible. I guess this is being produced by YouTube rather than a big movie studio so I shouldn't be super surprised I guess.
It looks like Johnny is trying to get his life back on track and teach a bullied kid to defend himself and that psychopath Daniel decides to once again go after Johnny.
I know it will be super cheesy, but it is also enough to get me to sign up for YouTube Red when it comes out.
Last week they showed a double feature in one of the theaters of the original Karate Kid and this. I think it was a one night only showing.
I am going to watch the first two on youtube. Then if I am overwhelmed by Nostalgia. I intend to dive in. So basically there is little chance I won't dive in.
One of my homies watched all of it (yes all of it) yesterday and just raved about it. Jazzed to check it out...
This is great!! It’s funny to look at the movie from a different angle. Another one I love is the Zach Morris Is Trash series, it breaks down Saved By The Bell episodes in the same way.
I would say they made the right decision to do it as a series. It seems like more of a series now and not a movie.
I just watched the first two free episodes.
I'm rooting for Johnny in this. In that first episode he continually tried taking the high road and Daniel kept rubbing his success in Johnny's face. Johnny could have told Daniel about his daughter being a material witness in the hit and run but once again took the high road. Who could blame Johnny anyway, he was obviously raised by a stepfather whose idea of parenting is to throw money at the kid. When Johnny really needed some guidance he just wrote him a check and told him to get lost.
I'm pretty sure the use of Sinatra in the opening montage of episode 2 indicates that Daniel's dealerships are just a front for money laundering by the mob. Think about it, he's from Jersey. Did you notice when Daniels wife referred to Johnny as a blonde pretty boy? It makes me wonder if maybe there isn't some sort of backstory between her and Johnny. Perhaps a young Mr. Lawrence deflowered the future Mrs. LaRusso.

I too just finished the two free episodes and holy crap is it good. Don’t really want to buy YouTube red for it but I might have to
I wish they would bring in Martin Cove (kreese) and some of the other old Cobra kai for some cameos. Maybe they will.
