I always wondered if Daniel and Johnny just never taught their students proper application of force or what. Karate, as practiced originally by the Okinawans was about hurting/killing people. But...you don't have to immediately jump to that.

Balrog0 01/23/21 11:00:43 AM #40:	I Like Toast posted... This is a story where you can launch a successful car sales company based on winning a karate tournament 30 years ago. Which is far more unrealistic than kids having karate war in a school. Even if that's what happened, which it isn't, it really isn't. You can launch a successful car business with even less notoriety than that! Prestoff posted... I mean I don't think it's out of the question to say that maybe LaRusso probably is just good at selling cars in general and uses his Karate Tournament credentials to help with marketing to the people in the valley. But yeah, a lot of the shit in the original Karate Kid movies could've easily been handled with the proper authorities like the police, but that would make for a very boring movie. Not everything has to be realistic and final seasons for television shows are always known to be "big" in general. I mean when I watch Karate Kid what I really am after is kids beating each other up and that's what I get when watching Cobra Kai, which just happens to have really good writing, humor, and character developments as major bonuses. It's not just about whether or not the cops could handle it. It's about how likely they would be to be involved at all. I got into plenty of fights with bullies at and around schools when I was younger without the cops getting involved. It's very believable that the lame ass new kid wouldn't want to call the cops on the rich cool kid gang. Unlike in cobra kai season 2, johnny never crane kicks ralph maccio in front of the principal where he'd obviously get in trouble for it. --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:949825868] in Rewatching...

Socrawheeze 01/23/21 11:14:14 AM #41:	right, like I don't understand how I'm just supposed to accept over a dozen kids (they're children) attempting to outright murder each other in broad daylight. for an extended duration. unimpeded. it's not like cobra kai rolled up to daniel-san between classes and tried to stab him to death for twenty minutes. it's just not the show season 1 told me it'd be. also, they dragged out johnny vs daniel-san way too long. they should have buried the hatchet in season 1, each independently try to deal with kreese in season 2, ending with them becoming co-senseis. season 3 should have tread new ground <cite>Socrawheeze posted [p:949826193] in Rewatching...

Of course you can, you still don't center your ads around something you did as a teenager 30 years ago. Think of all the awful car commercials you've seen across your life.

I'm not making a comment on what I want, just the quality of the show. Season 1 has a whole episode dedicated to characterizing johnny as a person and his mindset so that they can justify him fighting some kids in a parking lot. in season 2 and 3, they don't really do that.

ScazarMeltex 01/23/21 12:23:15 PM #45:	For those that don't care for uptick in violence, or think that it makes it less believable, lets not forget that it is also following the trend of the original trilogy. In the first film it was semi believable but a bit excessive, like most teen movies in that era. In the second Daniel literally has to fight a dude to the death because he pissed a dude off and make him look bad. In the third film it gets so over the top that Barnes is literally going to murder Daniel by dropping him off a cliff if he doesn't agree to fight in the tournament. Do I think it's silly and unnecessary? Sure.
