Ah, for some reason I thought Silver had already put forth the money to open them. Season 2 can't be announced and get here fast enough. I can't believe I'm excited about the Karate Kid Universe in 2018.

Johnny should replace Hawkeye in the Avengers

So you know I wonder, Silva couldn't reopen CK, but I mean he was still stupid rich. I mean a dude like that doesn't just go away.

I mean he could just have a hostile takeover/buyout of Larusso auto if he wanted.

Just edit Samuel Jackson into the end of the season over Kreese with computers and change the audio to be about him joining the Avengers initiative.

Finished it today, it's a gem and clearly a labour of love for the writers. I can't think of a single callback to the films that was there just for its own sake, they always had a spin that put things in a new light or advanced the story. My favourite has to be Johnny getting Miguel to do a crane kick just to show Daniel up, it was an utter dick move and absolutely beautiful.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
I re-watched Part 2 today, and there's some parallels between Sato's beef with Miyagi and the Johnny/Daniel thing. In the movie, Miyagi saves Sato's life and that helps Sato find his way again and become the good man he once was. I would not be surprised at all if they do a callback to this. If anything it'd be switched and Johnny saves Daniel's rear end.

edit: And this is a nit-pick, but why was Daniel allowed to participate in the tournament in part 3. He's 18 at that point.

He's 18 in the second one. Maybe they dropped the "Under 18" from the KK3 tournament?

It's same tournament since he's considered the defending champion. It's not a big deal, just one of those things.

Also, in retrospect, Daniel had a pretty crazy year. In the span of 16 months he:

-Moved across the country
-Started a gang war
-Became a karate champion
-Spent a summer in Okinawa
-Almost murdered by a Japanese gang
-Opened a (failed) business
-Almost brainwashed by an evil businessman/karate master
-Winning another karate championship

Maybe they meant '18 and under.' Maybe there's some sort of cutoff date for your birthday. Maybe it's just that for some reason they really wanted to shoehorn in the tournament angle, and it's why they also said 'the previous champion gets a bye all the way to finals.'

KK3 was not a good movie. Terry Silver is funny because he's an 80's bad guy amped up to 11, but the whole thing was just stupid and crummy. Why would everyone throw their free tshirts away just because a kid lost at karate? It's almost as silly as all of Russia cheering for Rocky.

KK1 and KK2 are Good Movies, though heavily dated. KK3 is a Good 80's Action Movie. It's actually not all that great as a KK movie, truth be told.

Burned through the first three episodes last night, and I love it so far, and really like the interaction between Johnny and Miguel.

I have to ask though, in E2, when he’s at the dealership, and he says Daniel won on an illegal kick, was it illegal? I seem to remember a ‘no hits to the face’ rule, but it’s been forever since I saw Karate Kid.

Daniel’s fixation on Cobra Kai being reopened seems ridiculous and petty, but at the same time, I have 7 episodes left (did Cobra Kai show up as the bad guys in a later KK movie or something?)

All contact must be controlled. The point is to touch not KO.

I'd love a scene with Daniel telling his wife in detail what really happened in Okinawa cause you know he left out probably most of it.

Anyway, want to watch the home movie version of KK1 and see all the scenes they wisely left out? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZQkwpqFN2E

I've been telling absolutely everyone to go watch this. Now, I don't want to take credit for it getting a second season, but I think we all know it was probably me.

I'm in Canada and we don't have YouTube Red, and I couldn't find an option to buy the whole season at once (so I just said gently caress it and bought the episodes individually). Was there one?

Not that I know of. I bought the episodes individually too, to vote with my wallet.

How much are they, is it the standard $2.99/episode or whatever? I approve of wallet voting, but Red is worth it just to get rid of the ads. It's nice that it finally has quality content to boot. But, a month would still be cheaper I think.

No Youtube Red in Canada unfortunately! $2.49 Canadian an episode so $20 for the season when you throw in the two free episodes. Well worth it imo, I just wondered if I was missing something

My dad’s in town, and I was telling him about this show. He was intrigued, and he doesn’t care about any TV show I recommend him.

Too bad he’s an old and can’t understand YouTube, let alone YouTube you have to pay for.

Maybe I’ll do the free one-month and watch it with him next time I go home to visit.

IMDB posted:

Going against Miyagi's wishes, Daniel uses his college funds to realize Miyagi's dream of opening a bonsai tree shop, and becomes a partner in the bonsai business.

Suddenly it makes sense why he became a car salesman.

Man that scene was great but as hard of a life dude lives, I can't believe he never looked at internet porn.

Also, I don't see how we debate if KK3 happens in this universe when Daniel literally does the kata he learns in KK3 at the end of Ep. 5

He immediately made me mad when he did that. I've always hated his stupid kata.

Also hilarious that in the Karate kid universe, Miyagi's family literally invented karate.

Which also means that Dre needs to just come and school everyone.

I'm watching KK3 now. No Rifftrax, but Daniel showing Miyagi-sama the initial space for the Bonsai shop is positively dripping with his car salesmanship.
