The Most Insane Thing Is How The Fans Who See Nothing Wrong With The Ending Is Trying To Tell Those Who

The most insane thing is how the fans who see nothing wrong with the ending is trying to tell those who do to rewatch the karate kid movies…like I think you guys need to take your own advice.

Oh God…so listen,

The majority of the Cobra Kai fandom are incels that view masculinity with aggression and “bad ass” fight choreographies and the idea of Cobra Kai provides them that therefore their and the writers favoritism. They don’t care about how an ending that praises Cobra Kai contradicts everything the main franchise established about Mr. Miyagi and how it was build as a way for expression and defending yourself against bullies but not by matching their energy but becoming a better person. If the writers of CK actually wanted to send a message that honors the original movies they could’ve used Kwon’s death as a reflection that the “strike hard, no mercy” mentality is harmful and extremist. And building on the principle that both attack and defense can be good for Karate, the “balance” of Daniel and Johnny’s teachings but Cobra Kai has been trying to revision history and trying to make it seem like what Johnny did to Daniel in the OG movies wasn’t bullying and that he’s justified by how “obnoxious” Daniel is. Kwon’s death was meaningless and was only added for shock value, not because they wanted to create a concisions discussion on the dangers of harboring violence on teenagers with the sport.

It was already odd to see Miguel respond so aggressively to the Cobra Kai chant and winning because being aggressive always gets you a win and if you try to play by the rules it does not give you anything (looks at Robby and Sam’s reward). The show ended with the “strike first, strike hard, no mercy” phase on the wall just like the first episode. Nothing progressed.

And I do not appreciate that in this day and age the message this series wants to send is that the peaceful ways of teaching are obsolete and we should allow violence as the only alternative because that’s the only way we’ll be rewarded.

And you see how the majority of the Cobra Kai fans are crying tears over Johnny not being included in Karate Kid: Legends. Now, why would he? The Karate Kid is Daniel LaRusso. And no one else. No amount of Cobra Kai episodes will stop that from that being real. And we thank god the ones in charge of the movie are not the writers of Cobra Kai and maybe the essence of the original movies can be restored.
