The writing for Johnny is incredible. It's as if he has stepped through a time portal into the present day from the 80's, skipping 35 years. It shows just how much he has lived in the past for all those decades, and how time has past him by without him even noticing. Johnny is not just old fashioned, his personality literally hasn't moved with the times at all, because the happiest moment of his life was 35 years ago with Ali, so his mind is always stuck in the 80's, on a continuos loop.
@@rebeccagray5464 Yeah and as much as I’d like to think that I’ve grown since then, when Johnny pulls out in his Pontiac Firebird to Poison (and I don’t even LIKE Poison!) I’m like Hell yes!! I’m immediately transported back to the 1980’s… the best time of my life!!
Even though I was born in 85 and I don’t even remember the 80’s my childhood really started in the 90’s which was an awesome time to be alive as well………:I’m sure the 80’s was even that much better. All the great movies and music and concerts were from the 80’s for the most part.
It was a very funny scene, but at the same time unreal and forced. Come on, Johnny became a "loser" but that doesn't mean he didn't have access to the internet or facebook. Anyone in their 50s, even a poor person, has access to that. Especially because he lived the last 35 years in an american metropolis and not in a jungle
I also did in 2 days, when a friend suggested it to me. I didn't know it was a KK TV series coming in, since I haven't seen the og for 20 or so years. Now the wait... Most of the stuff I love are not gonna be coming out anytime soon ughh.
So you like when the bullied become bullies? I hope his friend being possibly paralyzed for life changes his attitude. I think his acting was a bit too over the top. Plus his hair wasn't even long enough to suddenly have a Mohawk that large!
it is RIDICULOUS how good the series is, everything feels superb, nostalgia and fresh ideas combined together in a way nobody could have done it before, after watching dark, mindhunter, the witcher and all the good series in netflix, this is BY FAR the best one
Daniel and Johnny singing along to REO Speedwagon was one of the best scenes in Season 1. Love this show and for so many different reasons. It’s just amazing.
Not gonna lie, there's a couple of scenes here and there in Cobra Kai where Daniel reminisces about something, the "Miyagi Karate Kid" music starts playing, and I get emotional. Karate Kid was big in the 80s when i was young. This show is AMAZING!
@Frank Castle I remember my trapper keeper had a kick ass rocket ship on it and a streak of reddish flame behind it showing it shooting its thrusters! They were the freaking best.
Netflix was slow picking it up. Johnny steals the show with his attitude from the 80s which is so needed in todays society. Miguel reminds me of a young Daniel and he balances Johnny out. Miguel is Johnny's Miyagi.
Yeah i really like his anti-PC attitude and his love for the 80's. It made him funny and entertaining. They kinda watered his character down though in the 2nd season. A bit of a bummer.
RandomDude what are you talking about? This is talking about William training off screen and earning his actual black belt. This has nothing to do with johnnys students.
He is that good. Hollywood did that man wrong. He is a tremendous actor and should have been comparable to say a Bruce Willis in the roles he was offered.
Billy Zabka should won an Emmy for Season 1. Its too bad for a lot of reasons that they didn't do the Show 10 years earlier. I think he should have done The Equalizer Movies instead of Denzel Washington. William Zabka did play the son of McCall in the Original Equalizer TV Series.

It’s insane how good this is. I honestly never expected it to be this good. Jaw dropped since the first episode. Keep it up guys!
It's good writing and backstories...gives them depth. Instead of this guy is angry because he just is. Shit might work for new shows and movies but this show is good.
I'm an 80s kid. I spent 1day watching both seasons. It was like old friends in the room. I got so absorbed that i forgot where i was. The show for us genx kids is a huge treat considering the shit that is around these days. Thank you. Mr Miyage lives on.
Me too , just binged it on Netflix and feel exactly the same ! i was 10 when the original was released and remember the phenom well ,everyone was joining karate clubs ,cruel summer was a big hit and i rented the movie on vhs from the video shop every weekend ! only goonies came this close and no other movie ever will !
Well said .. I watched it and loved it. I just told my lil brother about it. I told him u absolutely must watch this show. At least the 1st season. I’m sure he will dig it. We were like 5-7 when the 1st film came out
It does show Morita's impact in that so much of his influence is shown in flashbacks and through Macchio's performance. You can really see the loss in Macchio's face as Daniel that Miyagi's presence is sorely missed. Like any adult feels when they lose a parent or mentor.
@@TRivera13 -- They should play the song "Can't put your arm around a memory" while Daniel is having a sentimental moment. I know it's a RIP of "the dirt".
This show may be popular now but I predict it will reach greater heights once the two seasons become free on youtube. People will overlook the commercials. What makes the show great is the balance between Nostalgia and the modern complexities of the characters. Great interview!
The best Cobra Kai interview I've seen so far. I couldn't stop smiling throughout this video. Keven Smith said everything to the cast that I was thinking myself.
Inês Reis me too. Love how they’ve included him in the show though. You so know that Daniel would go to his grave and talk to him. So authentic and right for that character to do that. It did tear me up though. A couple times in the flashbacks, at his grave and when he would talk to him, and when Daniel looks at that picture in the dojo. 😢❤️
Kevin Smith articulated perfectly what all of us feel about what Cobra Kai has brought back to so many, the magic of the 80's and Karate Kid........"You're the Best"!
Huck Haeata I’m not big fan of Kevin Smith - but I was delightfully impressed with how well he captured the justifiably off-the-charts enthusiasm for this show. I caught a couple of free episodes and was hooked by the first. And naturally, I binged watched the rest over 2 days. What a ride - I could not get enough. And now I’m screwed, because I lacked the discipline to take it slower. 🙃 So now all I’ve got is bonding with others who feel the same - as we impatiently await the 3rd season. Oh, and nice touch on “You’re the best!” 😀
@@rickmemmer5625 😂✊🏾 a youtuber corrected me ...its "You're the best ...Around" and yes I binge watched as well 🙂🙂🙂🦋✊🏾 the show is so well written by 3 guys that LOVE the 80s and Karate Kid, they really created something special.....still waiting for Season 3 next year sometime 🙄
Yea thats why I hate watching any show while it is still on going. Be having to wait week to week. I like when its all done and the binge watch like 10 seasons over the course of a month
Ralph hit it right on the nose “every episode your routing for someone else.” At first I was routing for Sam but now I’m only routing for Miguel and Johnny.🤭
It's awesome to see a real fan of the 80s such as Kevin Smith to interview the cast of Cobra Kai. His enthusiasm shows and is so heartfelt and genuine. Love these guys!
Johnny and Daniel reminds me of Goku and Vegeta.. long time rivals and they've had their issues but they find out that they're actually stronger together.
Learn Japanese with N14 -Yes! In my mind and as an 80’s kid, Mr. Miyagi embodied the whole concept of Karate Kid. There is no Karate Kid without Miyagi! Macchio understood that and they did a great job bringing his legacy and honoring his character in Cobra Kai.
Have you see the special feature from Karate Kid? Macchio says how his favourite scene was the one where he puts him to bed and finds out how Miyagi was a war hero. And before the scene ends he bows to Miyagi to show respect to him. Its powerful if you haven't scene it
there were in real life very good friend. And Ralph was also very very displeased when the karate kid the new movie with the son from Will Smith came out... What a garbage of movie, especially it was Kung Fu not Karate.
the rising action lead to an obvious injury lol fighting by the railings.. front kicks..the fight scene kinda got drawn out for a while. excited for season 3 nonetheless
This show exceeded all expectations from me. I thought it was gonna be stupid. I was DEAD wrong. Martin Kove’s entrance made me feel like a damn kid again, a grin from ear to ear. Can’t wait for third season
You got to find 4 hours, unless you're binge watching both seasons in which you have to find 8 hours, but it is basically a 4 hour movie with plot twists and new misunderstandings reset every 23-25 minutes...
I absolutely love Cobra Kai! I watched it twice, back-to-back. The second time through, I watched it with my son. It's killing me having to wait for season 3.
I don't blame Kevin Smith for going overboard with the fan boy chatter, I would've done the same thing! The Karate Kid 1 & 2 were a huge part of my childhood. Also, the younger cast of Cobra Kai is absolutely amazing. I'm not sure who the casting director for the show is, but they deserve a lot of credit. I can't wait for season 3 in Okinawa!!
@@tanekag77 He really is amazing. The first few episodes of Season 2 he actually had me in doubt. I was really starting to think Kreese had learned and did indeed changed his ways.... Until Johnny got the call about Tommy and he had to skip town for a bit. Awesome writing and even better acting
What a brilliant interviewer and personality Kevin Smith is. We are lucky to have him. I adored Cobra Kai and can’t WAIT for season 3. They HAVE to bring back you know who!!!
@@DeathBYDesign666 Ally for sure...the phone hint in the end is too obvious, and there's rumors going around for Barns....i don't see Silver coming back..even Machio hated him as a character..
Kevin's affection for the show elevated this interview to my all time favorite. He said everything I feel when watching this show with such clarity. Passion truly makes the difference. I hope they do future interviews with him.
Hell yes! I almost wish the writers/creators could some how work in a cameo scene for Jay and Silent Bob. That would be so epic! LOL Just in passing somewhere on a convenience store corner lot. Kevin Smith is my hero, and to see his reaction and love and respect for this show and these actors is absolutely magical!
John Malsantri tell me about it. I met him on Friday at this event. I just froze. He’s not my first celebrity that I’ve met but my gosh I was so well behaved. Lol
Yeah I loved the karate kid movie as a kid, and literally only just found out about Cobra Kai a couple days ago cause I saw they had Funko pops for the show.
I was crying while watching this video coz i miss them already. I just finished watching season 3 and i can't wait for season 4. Please don't let the fans wait for so long 😭
Is anyone gonna say somthing about Robby and Miguel switched haircuts Wtf I have more likes on this comment than I have views on my channel thanks for the likes guys but your making me look bad😦
The writing is so good and the characters are perfectly depicted with grey area to where it has humanized Johnny's character and I'm now rooting for this guy to win in his life as I have become emotionally invested in the new underdog and of course at the same time I'm excited that Daniel is not a bad guy, there is instead a grey area leaving the audience to depict for themselves who's really good and who is bad. I believe it's just like in real life where there is no black and white there are instead shades of grey area to which everything and no one thing can be judged by any single individual because nobody's perfect. Tips to the writers keep up the great work and may God bless them with more great ideas for their perfectly written stories. This is Nolan dark Knight level writtings where the dialog is so good and the body language is spot on acting is great that there is little to no CGI required just great props and great actors acting
Is it just me or does Ralph's voice actually sound just a little "higher" and softer than when he was younger? Like, I feel like his voice was deeper and more raspy when he was younger than it is now.
i think his voice was much higher when he was young but it was much more raspy as well. now it is more soft and a bit deeper. he sounded more like a boy in the karate kid movies. now at least he sounds like an adult male.
@@lordchold2316 wow. Jane isnt stupid for having an opinion. No need to put someone down for that. I could say the same about you for your opinion but wont because it's not necessary nor is it right for me to degrade someone for their thoughts on a fictional show. Ironically, there are a lot of people who agree that his voice DOES sound different- whether higher, lower, louder, softer, or whatever. But still agreed he definitely sounds different. I feel like it was deeper or at least raspier when he was younger. I also feel like he lost most of his new jersey/new york accent too except when he gets mad - you can hear it again then.
@@crystalkolb3947 no pitch is a concrete thing which is a fact not an opinion. it may have been raspier but it was definitely not deeper. he spoke around my speaking pitch in karate kid(im a female) but now is speaking much deeper in pitch. tbh tho he was yelling a lot more in karate kid. a lot of people thought the actor seemed 12 years old due to his childlike voice in the movie. i agree about the accent though.
It’s amazingly good. I really like how the characters are evolving. Poor to rich vs. rich to poor. Daniel seems like the prick now - he has had it good and has become self absorbed. Johnny, on the other hand has learned his lessons in life and his experiences has made him reflect on his past and he is changing and becoming a better man. Very satisfying. Zabka is such a great and likable actor!
@yawnjgp eh? Johnny accepted him coz he thought every one deserved a 2nd Chance, wasn't the best choice but hey, it's part of his development moving on.
@yawnjgp Daniel does seem to think like he has it all figured out at times, and comes off as a bit condescendant, whereas Johnny seems very aware of his flaws and is working on himself. Him giving a second chance to Kreese made so much sense because in a way, he is looking for his own chance at redemption, and as bad as the man was he was the closest thing he had to a father figure. Maybe season 3 shows a different side of Kreese that justifies his point of view, as the show clearly wants to stay away from black and white character arks and the actor seems to hint at his character having more to him than just being the bad guy.
@yawnjgp Daniel may not be a prick. Actually 😂 only Daniel and Johnny are pricks to eachother. But just because someone has a good job, a good family. And basically having a better life or successful life indicating that person as a “role model” doesn’t necessarily mean they can’t be pricks or assholes. Buddy a lot of people are pricks no matter their status in life. Now in the show, Daniel is a good role model but not the role model he hopes to be. He is pretty hotheaded my friend, and I’m not saying Johnny isn’t because Johnny is a literal hothead 😂. But unlike Daniel, Johnny is not afraid to admit he is one where as Daniel is. Which is why he needs to seek guidance any way possible or else he will tend to go bunkhill. Now your question is Daniel a better person than Johnny? Better teacher? They are both good teachers. Honestly Daniel is a great teacher and becomes a better teacher once he applies the same principles to his students the same ones miyagi taught Daniel himself. Johnny is a good teacher, because let’s be honest yes he was the bully but he is also a great fighter and we can’t take that away, so he then applies the same rules to his students the same ones Kreese taught him. But sees past that and realizes what he is doing is wrong. And still kicks ass along with his students. As for better person, most people would choose Daniel. But then again, they both have different lives and different problems. So, I can’t say that’s a fair question because what if Johnny was in Daniel shoes and Daniel was in Johnny’s shoes, then it would be different because they would see themselves and act different from a different point of view. Better father, yea, Daniel wins. And good for him for not Leaving his kids in any way. As for Johnny, he pretty much got scared and abandon his kid. Also, Robby is a much more stubborn kid than Daniels kid. I don’t blame him but if his dad is trying reach out to him any way as possible. Especially like in season 3. Than I would be mad because that kid doesn’t learn or just doesn’t want to learn and listen. Husband, Daniel is a better husband because he is more stable when it came to his relationship with his wife but then again Johnny was never married. As for better adult? I wouldn’t say “better adult” I would say Daniel is a much more mature adult but better no, plain out no. No one is better than someone just because someone has more to give than the other person. Both are good characters buddy, I believe they are both equals and that is how the show is portraying them out to be but in their own way. But no one is perfect, which is why Daniel is not a better person overall than Jonny.
@yawnjgpsure buddy, Daniel does have a clearer vision. I also explained everything buddy. Better father, I already told you Daniel is better because he is more stable but besides that he gets along with his kids, he never leaves them by his side. Where as Johnny left Robby at a very young age. For better husband, well that doesn’t contribute to Johnny because he was never married. But, better partner yes, Daniel is better but then again he too wasn’t in the perfect relationships, he even ruined the one with Ali buddy. I told you he is a hothead too. Both of them 😂 actually, and their hotheadedness made them ruin their relationships, but the good thing is that Daniel is married and Johnny is with Carmen. Better teacher, I told you they are both equals, in the terms of teaching their students but in their own way. Daniel too wasn’t the perfect teacher as well, and his students would go against his teachings, I’m not saying his teachings are bad, they are good. As for Johnny, he had a different set of teachings for his karate but he too saw that the teachings kreese taught him were bad and cruel. Which is why he didn’t want to contribute to the “no mercy” rule. And for that his students tell him he is soft and being a “pussy” and for that he is a bad teacher? No, he is still going to continue with his teachings but he is going to show mercy because it can get very dangerous if you don’t, but Johnny still continues to be a badass along with his students. Both Daniel and Johnny are good teachers but with their own set of principles. Daniel and Johnny are equals, the show clearly shows that they are. Look, I know you didn’t say Daniel was perfect, I understand that. I said he wasn’t “perfect”, and I say that because well, with all due respect, you make him Sound perfect. And I’m not saying that’s a bad thing buddy, no no. Not a bad thing but it’s the way your describing him. Look, everyone one knows they both have different personalities. Johnny trash talks to everyone even his students and you know what, that is true and I can’t tell you anything g except thats how he is. but that doesn’t indicate he is a bad person, not a really bad person. He just chooses to do things his own way and no one can stop him. Daniel is a more friendly character, and that’s really good my friend. But that is it. That is the way he chooses to be. Also they Both had different mentors/teachers. And that really affected them. But from what I can see they are both equals or are made out to be equals but in their “own way” because one has something the other doesn’t have. But, Daniel is more mature than Johnny, that I can guarantee you that. I hope I didn’t sound like a meanie 😂. Also I hope I didn’t offend you with the “buddy” I just say that to be friendly.
@yawnjgp I’m sorry it’s just seems like your talking about the karate kid, or better yet referring to the past, not that you are, of course I know your not. But you make them seem like they are opposite 😂, in the past (Karate kid) they were and most definitely enemies. But, that’s in the past this is “Kobra Cai” in this show they are “equals” they are most definitely equals but just in their own ways. It clearly shows that, and you know you are right yes Daniel is a more model citizen than Johnny but I already told you ones friendlier and the other one is, well is not. Johnny didn’t prepare for a good life where Daniel did but also, one had a good influence or role models when growing up and the other didn’t. That is obvious. They both changed, even Johnny changed. In the end they are both alike but are just to stubborn to accept that they are, that’s why Ali had to come and set aside their differences because in the end Johnny and Daniel are no better than the other, at least when it comes just to them. 😂 Daniel the “winner” and Johnny the “loser”. If anything Johnny is the main character not Daniel. Different lives and different point of views and that is very important. Just know in the show, they are not enemies but they are rivals, but not enemies. That’s why they join In the end because they need each other and know that they are the perfect link. Also Daniel lost to Johnny in the tournament, showing that Johnny teachings were superior to Daniel’s, showing that Johnny redeemed himself as the winner and Daniel couldn’t. So that technically made Daniel the loser. Not all kids looked up to Daniel, so he is not a winner, at least not all the times and so was the same for Johnny. Different teachings man but in the end whichever students stayed with them, saw them as perfect role models. Johnny couldn’t help his son Robbie but Daniel could. Daniel wouldn’t be able to help Miguel but Johnny did. And at the end Daniel and Johnny couldn’t help Robbie. It’s ups and downs for the both of them. Set aside their life styles, they are both equals.
I'm incredibly thankful they didn't stop at season 1. I think the show's popularity started going up after season 2 and now they are getting all the love the show deserves! I binged in 2 days too after seeing nonstop cobra kai advertising I finally gave in to my curiosity and decided to give the show a chance. AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! BEST SERIES I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE!

At times it really hurts that Myagi isn’t there, then there’s times where I can almost see him in the scenes. RIP Pat Morita
Agree, I say if he were alive tho, I think the role would be the same as he would be barely seen and a man for wisdom points.
I like how they pay tribute to Pat on the show
Oh shut up child
Where does it hurt? In your tuna?
I agree. But I think the point of the show is that time moves on. Time can be good or bad to you. It's how you fight back to what you are given.
Fun fact, Johnny and Daniel are older than Miyagi was in the first film.
Omg wtf. That dude looked ancient.
Is it supposed to be a joke ? Miyagi was born in 1925, he was 69 in the first Karate Kid. It is definitely wrong
I remember when Fonzi crashed into Mr Miyagi's chicken shack

Definitely. Great writing, acting, directing, and growth. Fine show.
So true
@edders redders Yeah, they never did anything relevant after Karate Kid really.
it is RIDICULOUS how good the series is, everything feels superb, nostalgia and fresh ideas combined together in a way nobody could have done it before, after watching dark, mindhunter, the witcher and all the good series in netflix, this is BY FAR the best one
"I had no idea how much I needed these characters back in my life." - Kevin Smith once again finds the words that resonate with my soul.
That was so well said
He speaks the thoughts of so many fandoms. He’s so good at what he does.

Me toooooo
Daniel and Johnny singing along to REO Speedwagon was one of the best scenes in Season 1. Love this show and for so many different reasons. It’s just amazing.
Music, 80s vibe, especially Johnny stuck in the 80s lol.
Yes!
If Pat Morita were alive he would love the show.
Not gonna lie, there's a couple of scenes here and there in Cobra Kai where Daniel reminisces about something, the "Miyagi Karate Kid" music starts playing, and I get emotional. Karate Kid was big in the 80s when i was young. This show is AMAZING!
I believe that.

Netflix was slow picking it up. Johnny steals the show with his attitude from the 80s which is so needed in todays society. Miguel reminds me of a young Daniel and he balances Johnny out. Miguel is Johnny's Miyagi.
Yeah, he's gold. It's like he's stuck in a time warp. Plays the part fantastically.
It was initially pitched to netflix. They turned it down
Yeah i really like his anti-PC attitude and his love for the 80's. It made him funny and entertaining. They kinda watered his character down though in the 2nd season. A bit of a bummer.
The relationship with Johnny and Miguel is my favourite part.
Black Berry why do people keep saying Johnny steals the show? Its HIS show. And yes. Miguel IS Daniel. Robby is Johnny.

Yes he is.
macrif None of them HAD black belts. I think Miguel did, but he got reset at the beginning of season 2.
@Mike Knight like candy
@@gowiththeflow363 what belt was Hawk?
RandomDude what are you talking about? This is talking about William training off screen and earning his actual black belt. This has nothing to do with johnnys students.
Am I alone in thinking William Zabka steals every scene he’s in?
He is that good. Hollywood did that man wrong. He is a tremendous actor and should have been comparable to say a Bruce Willis in the roles he was offered.
No. I love him so much!
i can already picture him in a Marvel role... like Magneto in an Xmen reboot or something
Yes you are
Billy Zabka should won an Emmy for Season 1. Its too bad for a lot of reasons that they didn't do the Show 10 years earlier. I think he should have done The Equalizer Movies instead of Denzel Washington. William Zabka did play the son of McCall in the Original Equalizer TV Series.
It’s insane how good this is. I honestly never expected it to be this good. Jaw dropped since the first episode. Keep it up guys!
This is like the one show where I feel like the cast are actually real people
It's good writing and backstories...gives them depth. Instead of this guy is angry because he just is. Shit might work for new shows and movies but this show is good.
I'm an 80s kid. I spent 1day watching both seasons. It was like old friends in the room. I got so absorbed that i forgot where i was. The show for us genx kids is a huge treat considering the shit that is around these days. Thank you. Mr Miyage lives on.
me too brother
Loved it!
Me too , just binged it on Netflix and feel exactly the same ! i was 10 when the original was released and remember the phenom well ,everyone was joining karate clubs ,cruel summer was a big hit and i rented the movie on vhs from the video shop every weekend ! only goonies came this close and no other movie ever will !
Well said .. I watched it and loved it. I just told my lil brother about it. I told him u absolutely must watch this show. At least the 1st season. I’m sure he will dig it. We were like 5-7 when the 1st film came out
I just wish there wasn’t so much bad langue, teenage drinking, and some of the other rough langue
I love this show but badly wish that Pat was still alive. He'd be in his mid 80s but no doubt would nail that role!!
It does show Morita's impact in that so much of his influence is shown in flashbacks and through Macchio's performance. You can really see the loss in Macchio's face as Daniel that Miyagi's presence is sorely missed. Like any adult feels when they lose a parent or mentor.
@@TRivera13 -- They should play the song "Can't put your arm around a memory" while Daniel is having a sentimental moment. I know it's a RIP of "the dirt".

Inês Reis me too. Love how they’ve included him in the show though. You so know that Daniel would go to his grave and talk to him. So authentic and right for that character to do that.

Huck Haeata I’m not big fan of Kevin Smith - but I was delightfully impressed with how well he captured the justifiably off-the-charts enthusiasm for this show. I caught a couple of free episodes and was hooked by the first. And naturally, I binged watched the rest over 2 days. What a ride - I could not get enough. And now I’m screwed, because I lacked the discipline to take it slower. 🙃 So now all I’ve got is bonding with others who feel the same - as we impatiently await the 3rd season.

i really love how Macchio pledges his allegiance to Miyagi. no Miyagi, no Daniel LaRusso. if that's not love, i don't know what is.
Learn Japanese with N14 -Yes! In my mind and as an 80’s kid, Mr. Miyagi embodied the whole concept of Karate Kid. There is no Karate Kid without Miyagi! Macchio understood that and they did a great job bringing his legacy and honoring his character in Cobra Kai.
Have you see the special feature from Karate Kid? Macchio says how his favourite scene was the one where he puts him to bed and finds out how Miyagi was a war hero. And before the scene ends he bows to Miyagi to show respect to him. Its powerful if you haven't scene it
Gay
there were in real life very good friend. And Ralph was also very very displeased when the karate kid the new movie with the son from Will Smith came out... What a garbage of movie, especially it was Kung Fu not Karate.

The writing is so good and the characters are perfectly depicted with grey area to where it has humanized Johnny's character and I'm now rooting for this guy to win in his life as I have become emotionally invested in the new underdog and of course at the same time I'm excited that Daniel is not a bad guy, there is instead a grey area leaving the audience to depict for themselves who's really good and who is bad. I believe it's just like in real life where there is no black and white there are instead shades of grey area to which everything and no one thing can be judged by any single individual because nobody's perfect. Tips to the writers keep up the great work and may God bless them with more great ideas for their perfectly written stories. This is Nolan dark Knight level writtings where the dialog is so good and the body language is spot on acting is great that there is little to no CGI required just great props and great actors acting

i think his voice was much higher when he was young but it was much more raspy as well. now it is more soft and a bit deeper. he sounded more like a boy in the karate kid movies. now at least he sounds like an adult male.
@@Micro_Learning you are stupid if you think his voice was deeper when he was in karate kid. it was just louder.
@@lordchold2316 wow. Jane isnt stupid for having an opinion. No need to put someone down for that. I could say the same about you for your opinion but wont because it's not necessary nor is it right for me to degrade someone for their thoughts on a fictional show.
Ironically, there are a lot of people who agree that his voice DOES sound different- whether higher, lower, louder, softer, or whatever. But still agreed he definitely sounds different. I feel like it was deeper or at least raspier when he was younger. I also feel like he lost most of his new jersey/new york accent too except when he gets mad - you can hear it again then.
@Jane Nguyen I'm not sure where your comment went or if you deleted it or why. But I was going to respond that I agree with most of what you said.
@@crystalkolb3947 no pitch is a concrete thing which is a fact not an opinion. it may have been raspier but it was definitely not deeper. he spoke around my speaking pitch in karate kid(im a female) but now is speaking much deeper in pitch. tbh tho he was yelling a lot more in karate kid. a lot of people thought the actor seemed 12 years old due to his childlike voice in the movie. i agree about the accent though.
It’s amazingly good. I really like how the characters are evolving. Poor to rich vs. rich to poor. Daniel seems like the prick now - he has had it good and has become self absorbed. Johnny, on the other hand has learned his lessons in life and his experiences has made him reflect on his past and he is changing and becoming a better man. Very satisfying. Zabka is such a great and likable actor!
@yawnjgp eh? Johnny accepted him coz he thought every one deserved a 2nd Chance, wasn't the best choice but hey, it's part of his development moving on.
@yawnjgp Daniel does seem to think like he has it all figured out at times, and comes off as a bit condescendant, whereas Johnny seems very aware of his flaws and is working on himself. Him giving a second chance to Kreese made so much sense because in a way, he is looking for his own chance at redemption, and as bad as the man was he was the closest thing he had to a father figure. Maybe season 3 shows a different side of Kreese that justifies his point of view, as the show clearly wants to stay away from black and white character arks and the actor seems to hint at his character having more to him than just being the bad guy.
@yawnjgp Daniel may not be a prick. Actually 😂 only Daniel and Johnny are pricks to eachother. But just because someone has a good job, a good family. And basically having a better life or successful life indicating that person as a “role model” doesn’t necessarily mean they can’t be pricks or assholes. Buddy a lot of people are pricks no matter their status in life. Now in the show, Daniel is a good role model but not the role model he hopes to be. He is pretty hotheaded my friend, and I’m not saying Johnny isn’t because Johnny is a literal hothead 😂. But unlike Daniel, Johnny is not afraid to admit he is one where as Daniel is. Which is why he needs to seek guidance any way possible or else he will tend to go bunkhill. Now your question is Daniel a better person than Johnny? Better teacher? They are both good teachers. Honestly Daniel is a great teacher and becomes a better teacher once he applies the same principles to his students the same ones miyagi taught Daniel himself. Johnny is a good teacher, because let’s be honest yes he was the bully but he is also a great fighter and we can’t take that away, so he then applies the same rules to his students the same ones Kreese taught him. But sees past that and realizes what he is doing is wrong. And still kicks ass along with his students. As for better person, most people would choose Daniel. But then again, they both have different lives and different problems. So, I can’t say that’s a fair question because what if Johnny was in Daniel shoes and Daniel was in Johnny’s shoes, then it would be different because they would see themselves and act different from a different point of view. Better father, yea, Daniel wins. And good for him for not Leaving his kids in any way. As for Johnny, he pretty much got scared and abandon his kid. Also, Robby is a much more stubborn kid than Daniels kid. I don’t blame him but if his dad is trying reach out to him any way as possible. Especially like in season 3. Than I would be mad because that kid doesn’t learn or just doesn’t want to learn and listen. Husband, Daniel is a better husband because he is more stable when it came to his relationship with his wife but then again Johnny was never married. As for better adult? I wouldn’t say “better adult” I would say Daniel is a much more mature adult but better no, plain out no. No one is better than someone just because someone has more to give than the other person. Both are good characters buddy, I believe they are both equals and that is how the show is portraying them out to be but in their own way. But no one is perfect, which is why Daniel is not a better person overall than Jonny.
@yawnjgpsure buddy, Daniel does have a clearer vision. I also explained everything buddy. Better father, I already told you Daniel is better because he is more stable but besides that he gets along with his kids, he never leaves them by his side. Where as Johnny left Robby at a very young age. For better husband, well that doesn’t contribute to Johnny because he was never married. But, better partner yes, Daniel is better but then again he too wasn’t in the perfect relationships, he even ruined the one with Ali buddy. I told you he is a hothead too. Both of them 😂 actually, and their hotheadedness made them ruin their relationships, but the good thing is that Daniel is married and Johnny is with Carmen. Better teacher, I told you they are both equals, in the terms of teaching their students but in their own way. Daniel too wasn’t the perfect teacher as well, and his students would go against his teachings, I’m not saying his teachings are bad, they are good. As for Johnny, he had a different set of teachings for his karate but he too saw that the teachings kreese taught him were bad and cruel. Which is why he didn’t want to contribute to the “no mercy” rule. And for that his students tell him he is soft and being a “pussy” and for that he is a bad teacher? No, he is still going to continue with his teachings but he is going to show mercy because it can get very dangerous if you don’t, but Johnny still continues to be a badass along with his students. Both Daniel and Johnny are good teachers but with their own set of principles. Daniel and Johnny are equals, the show clearly shows that they are. Look, I know you didn’t say Daniel was perfect, I understand that. I said he wasn’t “perfect”, and I say that because well, with all due respect, you make him Sound perfect. And I’m not saying that’s a bad thing buddy, no no. Not a bad thing but it’s the way your describing him. Look, everyone one knows they both have different personalities. Johnny trash talks to everyone even his students and you know what, that is true and I can’t tell you anything g except thats how he is. but that doesn’t indicate he is a bad person, not a really bad person. He just chooses to do things his own way and no one can stop him. Daniel is a more friendly character, and that’s really good my friend. But that is it. That is the way he chooses to be. Also they Both had different mentors/teachers. And that really affected them. But from what I can see they are both equals or are made out to be equals but in their “own way” because one has something the other doesn’t have. But, Daniel is more mature than Johnny, that I can guarantee you that. I hope I didn’t sound like a meanie 😂. Also I hope I didn’t offend you with the “buddy” I just say that to be friendly.
@yawnjgp I’m sorry it’s just seems like your talking about the karate kid, or better yet referring to the past, not that you are, of course I know your not. But you make them seem like they are opposite 😂, in the past (Karate kid) they were and most definitely enemies. But, that’s in the past this is “Kobra Cai” in this show they are “equals” they are most definitely equals but just in their own ways. It clearly shows that, and you know you are right yes Daniel is a more model citizen than Johnny but I already told you ones friendlier and the other one is, well is not. Johnny didn’t prepare for a good life where Daniel did but also, one had a good influence or role models when growing up and the other didn’t. That is obvious. They both changed, even Johnny changed. In the end they are both alike but are just to stubborn to accept that they are, that’s why Ali had to come and set aside their differences because in the end Johnny and Daniel are no better than the other, at least when it comes just to them. 😂 Daniel the “winner” and Johnny the “loser”. If anything Johnny is the main character not Daniel. Different lives and different point of views and that is very important. Just know in the show, they are not enemies but they are rivals, but not enemies. That’s why they join In the end because they need each other and know that they are the perfect link. Also Daniel lost to Johnny in the tournament, showing that Johnny teachings were superior to Daniel’s, showing that Johnny redeemed himself as the winner and Daniel couldn’t. So that technically made Daniel the loser. Not all kids looked up to Daniel, so he is not a winner, at least not all the times and so was the same for Johnny. Different teachings man but in the end whichever students stayed with them, saw them as perfect role models. Johnny couldn’t help his son Robbie but Daniel could. Daniel wouldn’t be able to help Miguel but Johnny did. And at the end Daniel and Johnny couldn’t help Robbie. It’s ups and downs for the both of them. Set aside their life styles, they are both equals.

Johnny is living the dream. I can see it on his face
I'm incredibly thankful they didn't stop at season 1. I think the show's popularity started going up after season 2 and now they are getting all the love the show deserves! I binged in 2 days too after seeing nonstop cobra kai advertising I finally gave in to my curiosity and decided to give the show a chance. AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! BEST SERIES I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE!
