Honestly, the show doesn't get enough credit for their action scenes. Its like better than 90% of other tv shows which is wild. Only Banshee, Warrior, and Into the badlands are on their level. And thats a stupid amount of competition.

Help, I've lost my mind - I think the cobra kai school fight might actually be better than Daredevil's hallway fight. Just a staggering 10 minute set piece, and relatively seamless switching of actors and stunt doubles

Who's the second best fighter in the Miyagi CU? Clearly Miyagi is the best and we never saw him in his prime.

At the time of airing I said the school battle was better than that huge stupid dark battlefield episode of GoT and a dude on twitter told me he'd kill me.

It doesn't mean DD's fight isn't really good, but I think the CK fight is a bit more technically impressive.

Guy A. Person posted:I don’t think I realized until that episode that Morita got an Oscar nom, but he absolutely earned it on the strength of the drunk scene. That one still hits so hard. I know "awards don't matter" but yeah, 100% it was a great performance. I feel like the Oscars back then were better at recognizing a great performances in mainstream movies, case in point, Louis Gossett, Jr. in An Officer and a Gentleman.

The drunk scene in Karate Kid blew me away because of how openly it acknowledged the atrocities against Japanese Americans during WWII. I can't think of any other mainstream media that just lays it out there. I watched Karate Kid Part II the other night for the first time and yeah it was fine. It was very earnest and that scores some points and I also like the fact that it avoided just being The Karate Kid but in Japan. Not having a tournament was definitely the right call. It was still a little bit too predictable and the drum thing at the end went a little over the line even for the reality these movies are set in. My wife could not get over the fact that Kumiko's hair was never kempt. That also just sent me down a rabbit hole and now I know Kumiko is Commodore Oh from Star Trek Picard. At least she's getting work.

Kumiko followed the trend of Daniel being with girls way out of his league, but admittedly anybody's dreamy when Peter Cetera's playing.

I watched Season 1 when it came out based on a recommendation and couldn't believe how good it was. Then I kind of forgot about it because YouTube Premium or w/e it was, so happy Netflix picked it up. I'm still angry that Netflix cancelled The OA, but picking up Cobra Kai is a start. Season 2 was not quite as good as S1 but still a lot of fun.

BiggerBoat posted:I'm expecting Kyler I think his name was? (The bully dude from S1) to wind up under Kreese's wing and come out as the new CK bad guy looking for payback. This could work pretty well but one of my favorite things from S1 was subverting the Asian-guy-must-know-martial-arts trope by having him just be a lacrosse bro that hates sushi. Daniel: Where are your parents from? Kyler: Irvine? I think.....

Rhyno posted:Aishia is such a great character. In the lunchroom fight her cry of NO MERCY is so good. Nerds tired of being bullied speaks to a lot of us. From what I understand she won't be coming back because of some behind the scenes drama leading to the actor parting ways with the show.

I haven't heard anything about that, got a link? According to the actress, she was let go because the writers couldn't fit the character in

Afaik the drama was that they show writers told her they didn't have a spot for her in the new season. She is wanted to stay cause she apparently really needed the money as per this: https://www.gofundme.com/f/6y347c8 I think it's a shame she's not in the series anymore. I figured with her being one of the founding members of the new Cobra Kai, there wouldn't be any problem keeping her around. Guess I was wrong.

I don't want to get too into rumour milling but I've heard on other websites that her story on that changed; first she said it the gofundme had to do with her mother. I hope whatever muddied the waters gets cleared up, she had a lot of potential at the end of the season left untapped and the actor is just starting out in the business.

Finished S2 and really enjoyed the whole thing. Agreeing with everyone else that S1 was a special kind of magic, but S2 had some great moments too. They leaned a bit too heavy into the soap-opera stuff for me (Johnny is dating the mom! Sam kissed Miguel! Tory stormed off!) but I really liked a lot of it, especially the parts with Johnny and Daniel. The mexican restaurant scene was a highlight. I'd love to see Elizabeth Shue in the next season but I doubt it will happen, she is more high profile than the rest of the cast. But hey, we can hope. It's Elizabeth Shue, I'd love to see her in anything. It is interesting to see where they put Daniel in this story, because it is such a fine line to walk. He is the hero of the original movie so you can't make him a straight-out villain, which is what he should be in a Johnny-centric story. But they have found a way to make Daniel still likeable but very flawed, and making bad choices due to old grudges. You can see where he has made poor decisions about his kids and his life, trying to give his kids everything and accidentally turning them into monsters (especially his garbage son). Zabka really came into his own acting-wise in this season, his scenes at the end were top notch. And I really didn't see the ending coming of having both dojos close and both students out of the game. I am glad they got another season to wrap it up and I'd love to see Johnny and Daniel working together, they keep getting close to it and dancing away, but it is time to make that happen. S4 seems unnecessary, but maybe they could take the story in a new direction once they wrap up the current storyline. Also seeing the other Cobra Kais was a highlight, even though putting the "body bag" guy in a bodybag was a lot darker once you know that the actor died soon after. Seeing them also highlighted how well Zabka and Macchio have aged in comparison, they look way younger than the rest. Except for Kreese, he is just becoming more grizzled instead of getting older.

No her star has definitely faded and she is clearly open to TV work since she was on the Boys.

Then again, I have no idea what kind of budget this show has and what they can offer her is probably the biggest factor.

Probably a pretty painless shoot for her, though. "On location in Van Nuys." It's probably like 20 minutes from Laurel Canyon or wherever she lives.
