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.

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.....

Kreese pulls off an old man strength vibe pretty well. And you don’t have to be an MMA champion to catch someone by surprise and cut their finger off with a cigar cutter.

While I definitely enjoyed this season, I couldn't help but feel at times that the show had pretty much run its course. Seeing some of the previous enemies helping each other was wholesome and enjoyable. It would have been a good high note to end on. With all that said, I have really enjoyed the whole show and am super supportive of everyone involved getting another payday out of it.

Goffer posted:Cameos from every other 80s karate / action movie as rival dojos in a world cup would be the ideal 👌 Saw this and immediately thought of Frank Dux and the Kumite. Read rest of posts after it. Heart swelled with pride at this thread.
