This series actually originally started out as a TH-cam original, but then got so popular Netflix picked it up after TH-cam stop doing original work
Technically the first 2 seasons aired on TH-cam and had a niche following. But the other TH-cam original shows bombed so TH-cam got out of the original programming game. So they let them shop the show to other streaming platforms and Netflix was the network they came to a deal with. The first 2 seasons of Cobra Kai are available for free on TH-cam now. But once the show went to Netflix it went from being a niche audience to being very popular.
@@joemckim1183 Season 3 was also under YT but not aired till Netflix came
I remember watching it on yt when it first came out, but then i stopped when netflix turned it into a shit show
@@xroyal2179 Nah, it's still awesome on Netflix.
Lol cobra Kai is ridiculous as a martial art...matbe the series is good... I won't hate... maybe I'll take the next journey with you❤
I do love how the show runners respect the movies. When "Cobra Kai" came out, my friends were saying that it's a role reversal story and Johnny is now the hero. I thought, no, it's more complex than that: they're both older, they're both haunted by the past and they're both trying do the best with what they've got.
What's funny because the actors are kind of the showrunners as well because they're all involved in it
yeah I was 17 when Karate Kid came out in theaters..I knew that there were backstories that they didnt have time to develop due to time limitations. I assumed Johnny had a crap home life, as well as Dutch. Proven right by this series thankfully. love this show!
indeed but I did love the fact that starting off we do get to see Johnny's side of the story well tbh it's more so his and Miguel's story but we do explore both Danny and Johnny even more. Daniel is a dick in season 1 and 2 but we see them evolve their childhood hatred into a cool bromance
What do you mean hero? You mean Main character because this isn’t an action movie lol

As someone who works in high schools, kids in high schools are like that.
As someone who hasn't been in high school in a long time you forget just how bad high school can be at times. But it's totally still like that.
Yeah, I really don't get this whole idea that HS is not longer like that. It reminds me of this weird psyop last year or a couple months ago trying to convince everyone that kids who were bullied and hated their bullies actually were the mean ones and deserved to get bullied? It was really weird.
I was in high school about 30 years ago so I don't remember it super well. I hung out with the skater crowd we had our table in the cafeteria but I don't think we really paid attention to what the other tables were doing. I do recall talking to pretty much anyone though. It's not like there were groups who wouldn't talk to any other groups.
I remember my high school years. And that is pretty much how the students were to one another. The jocks hung out with the jocks. The academics hung out with the academics. The hip hop posers hung out with the hip hop posers (there weren't any black kids in my town, so the closest thing we had were a bunch of white kids dressing and acting like gangsta rappers, which was hilarious because they were anything but gangsta).
I was a total reject. I would have hung out with Eli and Demitri at lunch, mainly because they would be the only ones to accept me. I wasn't good enough at school work to hang with the academics. I wasn't good enough at athletics to hang with the jocks. And I got stuck with a reputation for being a loser really early in life, and the popular kids Wouldn't let anyone forget it.
From the few repressed memories I can dredge up, I remember that I drifted aimlessly through the various social strata. I never "belonged" to any particular group or clique. Everybody thought I was an "okay" guy, I was never bullied by anyone, but the price I paid for never completely aligning was never having any real friends. The only reason it didn't teally bother me is that I was blessed with the knowledge that high school isn't the real world and it doesn't matter anyway.😂
The absurdity of a bunch of 50 year olds arguing over what happened when they were 18 is what gives the show its charm, plus the stunning natural ability that the entire population of the city has with regards to karate.
I live in Reseda, and there are several dojos and boxing schools (?) in the neighborhood.
@@johncampbell756wait fr? If only i can live there 😭 my place only have 1-2 dojos and they're not actually even close! They're 2 cities away from my town and takes 1 hour just to get their. 😭
"absurdity of a bunch of 50 year olds" - You're not 50 yet, are you? That's all we do.
Especially when some of the other adult characters acknowledge it, like when Daniel's wife acts annoyed at all the karate rivalry stuff.
@@johncampbell756lucky as shit man.
Both Ralph (Daniel) and William (Johnny) are around 60 now and the series started in 2018 so both are in their 50s so yeah they look amazing
Ralph has a young face. Ralph was 23 playing a 16 year old when he filmed Karate Kid.
@@timmooney7528bro was almost 30 in kk3 like TFF
Holy shit I hope I age like that 😮
@@CalisthenicshelperIn the same way his daughter is played by a near 30 year old actress.
This show was the reason why I watched Karate Kid for the first time. I'm amazed at how lore heavy and how much love and respect the showrunners had for the source material. It really should be studied on how to revive a franchise. You are in for a hell of a ride. 🐍
Idk if i should tell you "welcome to the club!" Or "RUN!!! FROM THE OG FANS!!!"
@@lightningjadejavier The thing is. I never watched Karate Kid but I still felt like I understand the old movies though the series.
Same for me
Something I love about this show, is the writers did not use one-dimensional characters, Daniel being good and kind, he lets himself manipulate by the guy dining at his home and immediately judges Johnny without trying to get the two versions. Johnny himself is not a bad guy per-se, he wants to help, but still has some bully attitudes.
Every character has history, challenges, positives and negatives. Some times it is hard to know who you want to root for.
Came here to say this. The show starts with fairly one-dimensional characters from the movies and makes them more complex which not only gives them new life but makes them more realistic and compelling.
fun fact- this whole show started cuz Billy Zabka (Johnny) and Ralph Macchio (Daniel) guest starred on a few episodes of 'How I Met Your Mother', where a character insisted Johnny Lawrence was the actual hero of the story and Daniel was the bully. people loved the idea of a story where Johnny was the protagonist, and the stars aligned for it to happen.
É por isso que o Barney sempre foi o melhor personagem de HIMYM
I thought it was just one episode for Barney's birthday or something, but I remember that being pretty funny.
@@the_omg3242 Zabka ended up being a minor character throughout the last season as he was invited to be a groomsman in the wedding. the joke that Barney considered him the hero of the movie was kept throughout
And then there's the Sweep the Leg music video.
@the_omg3242 he talks about it a few times before then, most notably when they "discover" he always roots for the "villains" in movies. Also when they meet his mother, his child bedroom leads to more talk.
Yep, so in a reversal of the original film, Johnny is now living in a run-down apartment complex, while Daniel is a wealthy owner of a car dealership that specializes in Japanese brands. He also restarted Cobra Kai to be Miguel's Mr. Miyagi, while Daniel had some painful memories of high school resurface.
Overall, this series is the prime example of a show that is reliant on nostalgia done right. There's gonna be a lot of 1980s references.
Wow. I didn't know Porsche and Audi were Japanese brands.
@@eatsmylifeYT Fair, those are German brands.
I’m so glad you’re already cracking up just at the first 2 episodes. This series honestly has some hilarious comedic moments that you’re gonna love
Plus some great dramatic moments as well.
There's a great but VERY subtle callback that you may have missed.
When Kyler is over at the LaRusso's for dinner, Daniel asks "Is that how you hurt your hand too?" In the first Karate Kid when Mr. Miyagi comes over to fix the LaRusso's sink, he asks Daniel what happened to his eye. Daniel lies and says he fell off his bike. Mr. Miyagi then says "Lucky no hurt hand too."
This was written by true fans of the Karate Kid franchise. They wanted to honor it, and continue the story in the best way possible, while allowing the characters to be true to themselves as they grew and changed. You are in for an amazing ride. Be ready for lots of laughs, lots of tears, and lots of callbacks and characters from the three films with Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Miyagi. The legacy will love on...
What I will say is that there is a character from The Next Karate Kid (which you haven't watched yet) that many in the fandom hope makes an appearance in the sixth and final season of the show. The Next Karate Kid herself, Julie Pierce played by two-time Best Actress Oscar-winner Hillary Swank. She was also a student of Mr. Miyagi...it would be cool to see her in the show, even if just for a few scenes in an episode. There has been a lot of theories as her at this time...but until and unless Hillary Swank shows up, that's all they can be.
Ages, they'd likely be in their early to mid 50s on the show (2018), Karate Kid came out in 1984, the actors were slighly older than high school age, Ralph is 62 & William is 58 in real life.
Michael? I think you mean William or Billy (Zabka). Those are their current ages, but season 1 was released over 6 years ago and filmed at least 7 years ago, so Billy was a little over 50.
@clh35 thanks for catching that, I was thinking about something else, I know his real name for some reason I put the wrong name lol. I did say early to mid 50s, so pretty accurate for Wil and Ralph respectively.
When she said 30s, she meant 30 something years ago... KK was released in 1984, Cobra Kai was released in 2018, so 34 years had passed...
@@js3599I watched it again, it could be either or, but I'm removing the comment because you could be right.
And here we are, a wonderful blend of nostalgia and legacy in the story of Cobra Kai. Mainly following Johnny this time, the roles are reversed with Daniel being the better off guy, and the two rivals are now embarking to become senseis. For Johnny however it's also a means of growing, since he is very out of touch at this point, Daniel is not without his flaws though, and a legacy continues in the next generation such as Sam and Miguel. But it's a great show - I mean it debuted on TH-cam Red, and nobody cared about TH-cam Red, that's just how good it is.
The actress that plays Daniel’s wife also occasionally played Sheldon’s twin sister Missy on “The Big Bang Theory”
She was super hot there!
Well..... that saves me from writing that then😛😀
She is hot af
I thought u said missy from young sheldon but i read big bang and missy in young sheldon was like after or js a bit before cobra kai
pimped out for cheese no less. lmao
I love how they use as much of the original cast as possible in this series. And I love how parts about Mr. Miyagi, where when they talk about him, are truly feelings of the other cast members (Ralph Macchio and other og cast) about the actor Pat Morita. It's so genuine that those scenes would be impossible to replicate.
You are really going to enjoy the series. I was very skeptical at first but after watching the first two episodes Id noticed how very well written this series is. The two writers for Cobra Kai are Karate Kid enthusiasts but really needed support from the two main characters of the Karate Kid (Ralph and Billy) to make it happen. Both Ralph and Billy knew the script wouldn't ridicule the franchise in anyway but respect it. That's what makes Cobra Kai so special, I was shocked how good the writing was in this series.
I'm so envious that you got to watch the Karate Kid films and skip the 30plus year wait.
There's more than just a role reversal in this series. There a class reversal as well. Johnny was from "the hills" and lived Encino. Daniel was lower class and could only afford to live in Reseda. Now Johnny is broke, not only in Reseda, but the same apartments that Daniel first lived in when he moved from New Jersey, while Daniel is rich and living in Encino.
You will absolutely love this show. It had no business being this good.
The writers, all of the cast, just have done an amazing job with the entire series. It's why I'm cautiously optimistic about the movie.
The part where Johnny sees Daniel’s billboard is where I grew up and went to middle school. They filmed that part in Tarzana California. The street is called Ventura (yeah, like the Ace Ventura movies) and you can take like a whole week and go around doing stuff since there’s a lot of good places on that street. There’s also a painting of Daniel doing the crane kick on a barber shop wall not too far from that scene.
Oh, that's freakin' awesome.
The face kick shown close up was 100% filmed for the first movie. They didnt use that cut in the movie because it made Daniel look brutal and elicited sympathy for Johnny.
But that was perfect here.
Did NOT know that.
Wow. You have really fast tracked the Karate Kid universe. Cobra Kai? Already? Yessssss!
I remember when this first came out i kinda rolled my eyes . Then they had two episodes for free on youtube and i was instantly hooked. It gets so much better vicky strap in.
I'm SO excited for your reactions to this show!! The actors slipped back into their roles like they never left :)
RIP Ed Asner.
This show is absolute fire. The kids can be annoying throughout the 1st season but they grow into their roles eventually… be patient. However, V, having said that, Johnny and Daniel’s arc is phenomenal. Seeing their evolution throughout gets really, really good. The guest appearances throughout the entire series are amazing. Definitely, one of my favorite shows I’ve seen. You’re in for a great ride!
I have already been on this Cobra Kai roller coaster, and it's great. I can't wait to go on this ride with you again. This series has elements of 1980s nostalgia and music, martial arts, soap opera, comedy, drama, Shakespeare, Rocky, Star Wars, Marvel movies, with some inspiring moments, tears (happy and sad), and just pure fun.
For a second, I thought that there was a real Cobra Kai roller coaster and got all excited
Ayy she did it she reacted to cobra Kai ❤
I can't wait to see her reaction to Eli's transformation
@@joemckim1183bro was a dk head most of the seasons, literally a dk head, he had that crazy red dk head like the tip 💀 i literally only liked bro s1, s4, and s5.
@@joemckim1183fr
When you look at the entire Karate Kid Saga as a whole, the Karate Kid movies are the story of Mr. Miyagi first and foremost.
The story of him finding his student, overcoming his own barriers, teaching his student everything he can, and passing on his wisdom.
Now you get to enjoy the stories of Daniel and Johnny doing the same!
Super excited for the next episodes!
It only gets better!
This show is so much fun. I can't get enough of stuck-in-the-80s boomer Johnny. He's hilarous, not to mention how amazing Zabka is at returning to this role lmao
Wild fact, in this both Johnny & Daniel were played by actors older than mr miyagi (pat morita, 52) was when KK1 was filmed 😬
You're too young to understand how pervasive Johnny's mentality is in a lot of the men that grew up in the 80's. The only glory they ever had was in high school and their lives didn't turn out the way everyone claimed it would. (Also watch Fight Club to verify this) That split second when Daniel landed the Crane kick is why Johnny is so angry. Daniel got everything. Johnny got nothing. For the rest of their lives. (up until this point) Johnny may not be Mr. Miyagi, but his teaching is effective for Miguel. They're different than Daniel and Miyagi and it works for them. They're both the same. Down and out, nothing to lose, trying to take back control of their lives and build a better future.
yeah I didn’t know about the 80s karate kid until like a couple of years ago and then I caught up with watching the movies and the cobra Kai show
The trope of the burnout who peaked in high school has been around for a long time. I don't think there's any reason to tie that behavior to the 80s, in particular.
@@christopherlundgren1700 I make that correlation due to the change in cultural norms in relation to GenX. Prior to GenX, all you were supposed to doto have a "good life" was graduate high school, get a job, get married, have kids and life will be great. Things changed.
It really stinks because Johnny helped Miguel in some ways, but made him worse in a lot of other ways, and pushed his toxic mindset onto Miguel
You have a great journey ahead of you with 6 seasons of this. It touches every part of cobra kai 1,2,3 films and more.
Johnny is truly one of the best characters ever.. William Zabka deserves Emmys..
I was actually pleasantly surprised when this rolled up on my feed. You're chewing through this IP like an (insert hungry funny character). I can tell you're gonna love Johnny Lawrence since he's so out of touch with reality and thinks it's like 1985.
I'll just say...whenever Robby's saying shit to make Johnny feel bad...he's 100% valid
It is unbelievable how good this show is. One of the things I love is how strong the emotional moments hit while still having great light-hearted comedy
cobra kai never dies
That was always misunderstood so badly. Cobra Kai rules state that you can't change the color of the clothing. So it was Cobra Kai never Dyes!
I'm soooo glad you're jumping right into this! you're so lucky You didn't have to wait all the years we did!!!
This show is the perfect blend of nostalgia and current day entertainment. It really works for people of all ages. Or most ages anyway. The music is great too.
season 6 comes out this week AND a vkunia reaction my week is made.
It's such awesome timing! 😊
it comes out this week!?!
@@garrickkthegreat5762 The first part of the season comes out this thursday
@@garrickkthegreat5762 in 2 days... First 5 episodes drop on the 18th...
For me it'll drop on the 19th
I LOVED this series! I just started this for the first time like a week ago. I binged all of it! Its a wild ride!
Glad u like the series! Cant wait for the final season!
Currently it’s around early 2018
Then the second season is summer 2018
3rd season is fall, winter 2018
4th season is first half of 2019
5th season is summer 2019
And the 6th season isn’t out yet
I can't believe you posted Cobra Kai this quick!
Haha this is funny. Cobra kai is why i got youtube premium and thus the reason i eventually started watching reaction channels. Feels like a full circle.
Edit: I enjoy your joy for firebirds haha
And just so you know it actually is how it is in high school. I have worked at quite a few high schools and yeah it's pretty much dead on. It's actually worse in Middle School
I'm so glad you're watching this AND did your homework by watching the movies. It'll definitely pay off come the point we're all at waiting for season 6.
I’m so happy you’re watching it! Looking forward to seeing your reactions
I like the part when V says she wants Daniel to break his son's i pad over his knee.
QUIET!!! 😂
If you ever noticed in the first Karate Kid movie, Johnny is rich and Daniel is poor. Now it’s the opposite where Johnny is poor and Daniel is rich
That's pretty easy to Easy?
So glad you're watching Cobra Kai right now. I don't have time to watch the whole series again before the new season starts so this works out great!
My favourite show since Breaking Bad. Cobra Kai is one of those shows I wish I could erase from my memory and experience for the first time again. You're in for a real treat, the quality never drops across 5 seasons and I'm sure season 6 is gonna be awesome
I started watching this when it first released on TH-cam, and I was blown away by how good it was. You're in for a good time.
Actually, when Johnny told Miguel about "asthma and other made up decease", he's not fully wrong. Asthma is a psychosomatic decease for the most part (not always, sometimes allergic or infective too), so it really can be resolved by something like emotion control, working on self-confidence and etc. Most of that Miguel can get from karate lessons with Johnny, so it would work for him :)
YES YES YES!! I hope you keep at it, because the ending of season 3 and 4 is so good!
"nah I don't give a shit" to the wax on/off opportunity was one of the first real chuckles I got from this, great call-back made to characterize Johnny
One of my favorite lines.
I love this series. I was a teen when Karate Kid came out and this is written perfectly to extend the character arc of these guys. Johnny wasn't a jerk, he's actually a hero.
As a fellow asthmatic V, let me remind you that Theodore Roosevelt a.k.a. The Bull Moose, also was an asthmatic. Sheer willpower and self destructive stubbornness can sometimes pay dividends lol
The great thing about this show is that it keeps getting better and better.
See what you don't get is us old farts grew up with the original three movies, and had watched them dozens of times over the past many decades. We knew these characters inside and outside. Cobra Kai hit and it was a whole new dynamic, seeing characters in different lights 30 some years later. And it was good.
Great reaction to the first two episodes! 😊
I'm so excited that you're starting on the "Cobra Kai" journey.
The first two(I think) seasons started on the TH-cam Red channel here on TH-cam before Netflix picked it up.
I've always loved the opening sequence of the first episode. You get slightly different footage from the last scene of the first movie.
I can't wait for you to see how Johnny's friendship with Miguel(one of my favorite characters)progresses throughout the show.
And in the second episode you got to meet Daniel's wife Amanda and son Anthony. And you've also met Johnny's son Robby.
Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
The pacing of this show is it's main strength. It never let's itself get bogged down.
Im so happy 😊 you are watching it you are going to love this !!Johhny is one of my favorite characters in this show can't wait for you to see how many people who are in this show thanks to the movies 😊 I will most definitely watch this with you 😀
Cobra Kai showrunner Jon Hurwitz, who co-created Cobra Kai with Josh Heald and Hayden Schlossberg are all HUGE Karate Kid fans. They know the movies through and through and you will see a thousand call backs to the movies throughout the show. Plus you will see more than a few surprise guest appearances from many original cast members.
I had both allergy-induced and exercise-induced asthma growing up (thankfully it got a lot milder around the time I graduated high school), so I totally understand wanting to fight anyone foolish enough to try to write asthma off as "fake". This series was actually the reason I got TH-cam Red (as the premium membership was called back in the day), as I was a fan of the original movies and found out that the show was being co-produced by William Zabka (Johnny) and Ralph Macchio (Daniel), so I was fairly confident it would respect the source material a lot better than a lot of modern sequels/remakes of old classics do.
So glad you're reacting to this! Probably one of the best shows in the last 10 years.
I didn't realize you were going to start Cobra Kai so quickly. I was going to suggest that before this you watch a youtube video about how Daniel was actually the bad guy in the Karate Kid. It shouldn't be taken 100% seriously and should be considered mostly tongue in cheek, but gives an interesting perspective going into this. One thing that should be noted is that William Zapka said that he played Johny in the original film as going in the character just wanted to have the best summer ever.
You're going into this fresh off of the Karate Kid movies. Imagine what it was like for those of us that grew up with the Karate Kid movies, YEARS, really AGES later getting these characters back in our lives. It was just incredible.
This was fast and I'm here for it😁 As it's been already mentioned in the comments, this series started in 2018, 34 years after the first movie, and that's about where the story picks up as well. As for Daniel being in his "late thirties": Ralph macchio was in his late 50s there, only he kinda forgot to age👀
I'm looking forward to the rest of your Cobra Kai journey, and at some point before season 6 I'd recommend to watch The Next Karate Kid, especially if you miss Mr. Miyagi ;)
Its rare for a property to be able to come back to the story after so long and absolutely crush it. This is amazing and absolutely in the spirit of the original.
The music at the end is famous for being used whenever Michael Jordan would be introduced on the court.
'' He relives these moments all the time'' yep for some of us its all we have,
This show gets better and better with every season. I can't wait till you are caught up because it's going to be a super fun journey.
I love the rate you went through the 3 movies and already you started "Cobra Kai". I hope you continue to binge these. There is a lot of great campy humor in this. The show does a great job of poking fun at itself as well as some other things.
PS: The actors are older than you think. Ralph Macchio was born in '61 and William Zabka was born in '65.
You picked the perfect time to start: Part 1 of the sixth and final season drops later this week. :)
You've made impressive progress with this series, you'll be caught up in no time👏🏽
Vaccunia, The reason its highly regarded has everything to do with watching the film as a kid, and making heroes (and villains) of the characters, and then seeing them again out of the blue 40 odd years later on. I don't think it works the same if you just watch the film 3 weeks ago and do not suffer from nostalgia (or who knows what other syndrome). All in all, its not a bad series (not perfect), but it helps if you have watch ALL of the films, not just the first one.
You called Daniel’s career in your KK3 video when you remarked how he was a good salesman.
Keep the content coming Queen.
Did you catch the parallels and flipping the script of Karate Kid. With Johny being an apartment maintenance man, like Miyagi was when he met Daniel and Johny beating up a bunch of kids like Miyagi did to him and his crew, though his was mostly for his car more than saving the kid, and then taking the kid under his wing. The basis is the same but the way he does it is very much different.
High school was pretty much that bad. I was one of the nerds and also one of the smallest kids in school. A weird fluke caused me to start my public school experience a year early, but if I let anyone know, I'm sure I would have been bullied more. That lasted until I made friends with my locker mate, the football team nose guard who was also the basketball team center. After that, I was just a normal kid having a normal high school experience. It's good to have friends. Thanks, Paul. You have no idea how you changed my life. 🙂
This show is genius. I love the role reversal with Daniel and Johnny. Very compelling dynamic.
This first episode was great. So fun to catch up with the characters 20 (30?) years later. RIP mr. Miyagi.
The quality of the series dropped as it went on though.
I love love love cobra kai it's so good
This show has absolutely no business being as good as it is. Buckle up, you're in for a ride.
"I love seeing him Beating up a bunch of teenagers" 😂😂
the way i LAUGHED 😭
When they showed the original Daniel vs. Johnny All Valley fight in this episode they used a lot of unused camera angles that weren't in the original movie.
The Series is AWESOME the Love and Respect and character Development is just Perfect !
Decades later, he still feels bitter and resentful. You'd think you could let some things go.
But there are things you CAN'T let go of, and they still play in your head and affect your behaviour and personality so many years later.
You will see that the serie is gonna be better through the seasons ( it's my opinion )
I hope you will enjoy it ;)
I know the feeling. You know, when Johnny delivered that first kick and felt the pain in his leg. I once tried to throw a high kick, forgetting that I'm no longer in my early twenties and pulled my left glute muscle. Yeah, it hurt for over a week. 😆😂
I wish I could watch cobra kai for the first time again
This whole series is just a breath of fresh air and they nailed it! They got a trio of great storytelling that brings in new viewers, they don't care to be PC and brings in the people caring about that part -AND they bring in all the people who loved Karate Kid with all the winks and hints in such a perfect way.
Though it can be cheesy sometimes it's done in a good way and is always "Yeah we know this is cheese but we know that you know that we know you kinda liked it.." :D
Awww yayy!! Soo happy you're reacting to Cobra Kai! It's one of my favorite series ever and I know you're going to love it too! ❤❤❤❤
Crazy fact: Daniel now is actually older than Myagi was in KK1
It's confusing because Mr Miyagi is 7 years older than Pat Morita (Miyagi born in 1925 Mortia born in 32..) where as Ralph is about 7 years older Daniel.
So I'm not sure if Daniel's character in season one is as old as the the Miyagi character was in KK1...but the actor Ralph was as old as Pat and is he is now older than Pat was in KK3.
Sorry for being annoying 😂
And in 11 years Ralph will be the age Pat was when he died...😲😬
What an awesome reaction! You’re really picking up on a lot of the background vibe they’re dropping, and I think you’ll continue to be front row for this entire series. And thank you SO MUCH for not drudging through all six of the original Karate Kid movies before getting to this. The first two are awesome but it goes downhill like a broken roller coaster from there (although the third, which you did watch, will eventually come in handy for you).
Cobra Kai is amazing because it is modern, it doesn’t take itself too seriously, it gets powerful and deep, it’s lots of fun and great Karate, and it pays its respect in so many serious ways to the original (I’ll wait to comment on those until they happen, and I’m sure your amazing fanbase will beat me to it anyway when the time comes). For now, enjoy!
Did you skip Karate Kid 4 and the last appearance of Mr. Miyagi? Or is it just not on YT yet?
Keep up the great content either way!
I'm not sure if she's reacted to numbers 4 but she should if she hasn't yet
She felt pressured by comments to skip both that one and 2010 remake :(
I imagine she didn't watch it, a lot of people skip it.
She might be recommended to watch it, depending on what happens in season 6, though.
@@cesar6269 It's been a while since I've seen the remake but skipping it was probably the right choice
@@cesar6269 oh that's lame, what dumb commenters want to deprive her of seeing Mr. Miyagi in his awesome role for the last time? Also literal best actress winner in the main role, and the only woman Karate Kid we've got? wild that she wasn't interested enough to check it out even with the haters
"you should break that ipad over your knee" the fact that he does this lmao
Just saw your reaction on karate kid 3 and i was hoping and praying for this one ❤. Really excited for upcoming reactions ☺
The best thing about Cobra Kai (as you'll learn), is that none of the characters are two-dimensional "good guys", "bad guys", "heroes", or "villains". Kinda like real life.
Johnny and Danny are antagonistic towards each other, but both are still trying to do the right thing, and I would absolutely call them "heroes." Especially as the show goes along and the villains actually show up.
