ive not seen the show but what little ive seen of it and heard of it sounds like it misses the point of the film

this show sounds like its all about violence rather than self improvement

karate was not really the focus of the karate kid

characters go through the process of self-improvement all the time in the show.

it's just that no one's perfect, and it takes some of them multiple attempts.

plus, it's not all about violence; there's plenty of characters who develop through confidence, regress through overconfidence, etc.

plus there's plenty of humor, and self-awareness about how ridiculous a lot of it all is.

it's a great show.

It is about self improvement, but it's been drawn put over 5 seasons and shows how anyone can be swayed to either side (the point of Daniel son joining Kobra Kai).

It's also pretty much a nostalgia ship, fueled by nostalgia, for the sake of nostalgia.

There's definitely character development for most characters. Sometimes its drawn out for more than one season.

It's true to the franchise, more often than not somewhat wholesome and there is a lot of growing and character depth. You'll know after the first season if you like it, it remains consistently great throughout.

I'm someone who didnt bother with the show until season 4 was just releasing, and I binged the first 3 in like 2 weeks I liked it so much.

the show's secret is that johnny lawrence is actually the second coming of christ and just doesn't realize it. remember when he cured miguel's athsma by throwing his inhaler at a wall and saying "not anymore"?

also there really isn't that much actual fighting in the show especially in the first few seasons
sometimes they go entire episodes without a single fight, just focusing on character building and dynamics

i hated that it worked and just no-sale'd miggy's athsma, but i loved that johnny did it because that is exactly something johnny would do.

imagine, though, if miguel was actually misdiagnosed and he'd told his mom and nan about it, and they used it as the basis for a malpractice suit and that single move ended up lifting them straight out of poverty in the final season because miguel did not, in fact, have athsma

that would elevate shit so much

Kinda gotta throw logic out the window and treat it like an 80s action movie, a lot of it is far fetched and improbable but its so damn fun.

The first season has the least amount of fighting, and if there was fighting it actually served a purpose to the plot. Which was honestly why it was the best season, imo. The other seasons really go over the top, but I guess that's where the 80's cheese and charm comes in lol.

This show ain't no Rocky, Rambo, or Robocop sequel that misses the point of the first movies.

I don't get why people make assumptions about shows and judge it before even trying to watch it.

Like, logically, if it missed the point of the films, I doubt it would be as popular as it is.

Yeah, Tory might often be more "evil" but it is understandable. Sam is often just petulant and entitled.
