10 Takeaways from The Cobra Kai Series

We must discuss 10 takeaways from the Cobra Kai series before the final season begins. It’s been great, but maybe it’s time to let it go.

Daniel turned out to be a jerk

In all fairness, Daniel did suffer a lot at the hands of the Cobra Kai group. But holding a grudge after so long is immature, not to mention self-defeating.

Sharing Kreese’s story was eye-opening

The fact that Kreese was bullied earlier in life makes one feel sorry for him. But then you see how he took things too far, and that empathy dwindles.

After everything, Silver is still a world-class jerk

As a younger man, Terry wasn’t that bad. But he didn’t get any better with age, so watching his downfall was great.

Chozen turned out to be pretty cool

Out of the number of jerks Daniel had to deal with, Chozen was among the most dangerous. But the fact that he got to honk Daniel’s nose was highly satisfying.

It’s a little amusing to see what happened to Mike Barnes

The bad boy of karate became a furniture store owner? Yeah, that’s a surprise, but it gives his character more depth.

This is Johnny’s story, without a doubt, and it still is

Johnny’s redemption arc should be just about complete. But seeing how far he’s come while still being himself is amazing.

The kids don’t appear as though they can carry a legacy

They’re not bad actors, but from the dialogue to the story, it doesn’t feel this show will become anything other than what it is. The kids are, for lack of a better word, not fit for carrying on the tale.

Miguel is a good kid, but he has a lot of learning to do

It almost feels as though Miguel managed to learn every lesson he was given. But while he’s on the cusp, he’s not quite there yet.

Tory still has issues to work out

We haven’t seen everything that Tory has to offer, and there’s still a lot of speculation about her mom. Hopefully, this will be shown before the final season plays out.

The big tournament needs to be the final confrontation

With Kreese still alive and now allied with the opposing side, again, this final battle should be something that will appease the fans and close the story out. If Cobra Kai creates spinoffs, it’s fair to say that they’ll fall flat very quickly.
