First 3 seasons were pure kino than they jumped the fucking shark
>>218221340Yep, just like Lost
>>218221340It’s all because daniel larusso tried and successfully took over the show. Disgusting behavior.
Is that Roger Federer?
>>218221340That's always the case, I am happy it delivered thrice.
>>218221340I'd say it got old around season two. Everyone going in circles, back and forth. It was like a few goods bits in a sea of dingleberries. I liked the memberberries though
FEET
honestly the ending of season 2 with kreese taking over cobra kai, johnny being back to a loser nobody, burning his car and throwing his phone away only to end on a shot of allie trying to reach him would've been the perfect endinghappy endings are for fags also my wife
>>218221340>learn lesson>immediately forget lesson and make stupid mistake>have to learn literally the same lesson againthey did this too much. its like they knew that growth was important, but felt that learning lessons meant no room for drama.
>>218221340Nah it was kino all the way through
>spend first half of the last season to hype up korean badboy as the kid final boss>kill him off halfway throughHuh?
>>218221340I stopped watching thereabouts, is it still on? It got tiring
Tetas grandes new show is pretty good, how long can she be typecast as a highschooler from a broken home?
One day I'll force myself to watch the last two seasons
>>218224418no it wasn't
>>218221340The pilot should've just been a movie and ended there
>>218224533It's braindead fun, and full of asspulls.Cobra kai loses their fighter and withdraws from the tournament, johnny takes it over again and is allowed to put miguel as the final fighter for some reason and kreese kills silver in a murdersuicide.El mantarayo teaches cobra kai for kids.
>>218221340Agree.The formula became really repeatful.>Johny and Daniel hate each other>bigger threat forces them to work together>work together few episodes>then due to a misunderstanding they have fallen out>repeat
>>218221340This was a retarded idea based on the "Larusso was the actual bully" meme. The movies weren't even that great to begin with. All I see in Cibra Kai is:-Everyone practices karate for a week: you gain superpowers beyond human comprehension-Larusso's daughter jumping from relationship to relationship-Larusso being a little whiny bitch for absolutely no reason-A bunch of senile faggots dancing here and there and somehow being relevant despite being like 80 years old
>>218224418I didn't like that the Sekai Taikai was accepting "israel" as a member.
>>218224656>idea based on the "Larusso was the actual bully" memeYes>The movies weren't even that great to begin withKarate-chop your throat
this was the best show in the past 10 years
>>218224418Season 6 was a shitshow. Part 1 was bland with unnecessary regressions in character relationships to manufacture tension for the tryouts for a point tournament, which seemed low stakes compared to the sword fight, home invasion and all in brawl Season 5 ended with.Part 2 was a fucking fever dream, with:Sam being easily 25 lbs heavier than all other sets of episodes with no explanation ever given.Characters teleporting around an aquarium to increase drama by overhearing and misinterpreting things, a whale shark always in shot. Amystical force that drew all karateka in Barcelona inexorably towards each other.A bizzare travel training montage that can not have fit into the tournament itinerary clearly paid for by the Spanish tourism industry.A cast of ethnically stereotyped rival karate teams to do karate squid games with on a knock off set for total wipe out.John Kreese evading international police while travelling internationally with a deadly weapon at the age of 80.Miguel getting a standing ovation for assaulting another passenger on yet another international flight. An honest to god who sub plot revolving around who farted in the shared hotel room.A new villain trained in the fucking five point exploding heart palm technique who kills people in underground cage matches.AND Daniel Larusso being kidnapped by a gang of human traffickers, who he feeds to their own attack dogs during his escape. An escape which is implied to be direct divine intervention at the hands of the fucking virgin mary, no less.
>>218224996Then it all culminates in an attempt at outdoing the school brawl from Season 2, except without context, explanation, motivation, intervention or any kind of writing or directorial restraint. Everyone is doing mortal combat finishing moves on each other for no joke, longer than most of the original youtube red episodes ever ran. Some 20 or so straight minutes of combos and combo breakers and one liners. Most of them are stuntmen who can do moves that would fit better in the Matrix series than this franchise. And they just keep grinding them out, until, finally Kwon absolutely bodies himself, and it’s supposed to be a million dollar baby moment but it’s fucking laughable because he was trying to throw a cheat 1080 degree spinning kick. Fucking absurd.Part 3 tied it all up as best it could. Old man duel to the death on an exploding boat was dumb. Johnny needing to win, comeback style felt like it undid his character development of growing into a teacher for the next generation. Robby achieved nothing and got shat on yet again. But it was the best they could have done with the plot threads left after the gas leak insanity of Part 2. Season 5 had already jumped the shark, but looking back, it should have ended there, without the Kreese prison break cliffhanger. The one where he assaults several officers of the law and a completely innocent doctor who begs him for mercy. Fuck me what a stupid show it turned into.
>>218224599Thanks for the spoilers, I'll prolly watch it anyway to jerk off to mommy Larusso
>>218224996>>218225011It's funny because Part 2 when fully described sounds like kino then Part 3 is back to extremely boring drama, should have just kept escalating until it became live action dragon ball
>>218225011Oh, also I hated the movie with Jackie Chan too. Somehow, almost nothing happened, and it barely connected to either the original movies/cobra kai, OR the reboot with Jaden Smith. He’s not just not in it, he’s memory holed. Here’s my new (chinese) Jaden. Now let’s learn the tiger trap.There are now enough made up super duper finishing moves in this universe that you could conceivably teach a martial arts class with a curriculum entirely based on them, if you found a group of students gullible enough to pay you for it. >>218225105That’s another way of looking at it I suppose. Part 3 was a massive throttling back after they went too far in some places, as they say. You could have been dissapointed it didn’t continue to escalate. I think I would have had a fucking aneurysm if it did, but you do you.
>>218221340Season one was perfection. Johnny being stuck in the past without any irony. The references being original. And a bad guys win ending.
later seasons got rid of the ugliest character in the series so they have that
>>218221340The fact this show ran for as long as did and not ONCE featured the song “sweep the leg” was a fucking travesty.
>>218222001fpwp
>>218224703Not him, but 1 was decent and 3 gets a pass for Silver but that's about it.
I think I'm stealing this from Rich Evans but the problem is they (probably just Ralph Macchio) dont understand that a drunk fixing his life by teaching losers how to be chads by beating the shit out of their bullies is awesome, but karate tournaments are fucking gay. Having the Karate Kid be the Karate Sleazy Car Salesman who can't let go of the past either is a great idea, but there's obviously a limited shelf life on that without making the character just be an asshole, and that was clearly shortened even farther by somebody suddenly getting a bigger role in the production. All the surprisingly relatable interpersonal conflicts just get pushed into this retarded strip mall mcdojo feud that strains your credulity.
How much gear do I need to keep the Kreese physique when I'm a few years younger than Biden?
>>218221340It was decent until the last season. You're right they should've wrapped it way before that.
>>218223123Tanner?
>>218221340Breaking Bad and its consequences have been a disaster for serial storytelling
I don't know I stopped watching after season 1, Johnny fixed his shit and won in the end making larusso seethe, that's all I needed.All the high school drama and power rangers shit that came afterwards didn't interest me.
>>218225171In my opinion the show was a stupid millennial writing concept, that was executed perfectly in the first season, then ran out of gas by the 3rd season and overstayed its welcome
>>218221340I thought the ending fights were perfect so I forgave the rest, the Daniel vs Kreese Season 5 was so good. The tournament fights I am NGL I kinda forget them now but I just remember being at the edge of my seat.
>>218230009Sorry of course I mean Terry Silver my bad.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXlJO4bL964
>>218224656Larusso was the actual bully.
The Flandersization of Johnny got annoying in the later seasons. And how many times did Robby and Tori change sides
