‘Cobra Kai’ Is Netflix’s No. 1 Because It’s Anti-Woke

[jbrownson0831]

Will have to watch it.

“In contrast to much of the unwatchable content Hollywood produces these days, “Cobra Kai” creators Jon Hurwitz, Josh Heald, and Hayden Schlossberg do not seem to mind if anyone is offended by their work. Instead of using sanctimonious leftist virtue signaling to make a point or having characters preen about their woke moral superiority, the show cleverly and hilariously mocks the cancer that is “politically correct” culture, while promoting personal responsibility and accountability for the decisions we make.

Unlike the Black Lives Matter movement, which has stated it wantsto “disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure,” “Cobra Kai” embraces the importance of having a cohesive family unit that includes strong fathers and caring mothers. It also shows us what happens when parents abrogate their most basic responsibilities and neglect their children. The outcome is often tragic and predictable.”

The most important lesson from 'Cobra Kai' is that there are no freebies in sports or in life, and positive outcomes are earned, not given.

It’s the Johnnie Lawrence redemption story. Fantastic character. Maccio plays the same character he did in the movies, basically.

Nice hot wife and cool car dealership to go with it for Daniel-San

Yeah, but his kids are assholes.

We watched it. The acting sucks, but the show knows what it is and it is very borderline satirical.

I didn't notice any woke or anti woke anything, so maybe in the current climate that makes it anti woke, I don't know.

Daniel's acting sucks, his Karate is terrible and he is some total badass, lol. On the other hand, the kids' actual karate seems to have gotten better. In season 1 it was hilarious, now actually decent for obviously staged stuff.

Anyhow, enjoy it for what it is, which is non-serious fluff stuff, and don't read too much into it or out of it and you'll probably come out ahead. JMHO.

Just started watching. Is that old man Ed Asner?! Thought he died years ago.

I turned it off this season when they brought in that little Negro kid as a main character. Too woke for me.

Yeah, but I did like them bringing back Terry Silver the Karate Kid 3 bad guy. He is sick.

I found it amusing how the whole show exists in a parallel universe where lots of adults care deeply about karate in Los Angeles. But it is an entertaining show. The first season really developed how miserable Johnny's childhood was, and why it drove him to be a bully. He's the biggest redemption story in the show.

I think thats what I like most about this, the telling of the Johnny story after leaving him out of pretty much all the movies after the first. He is down to earth, blue collar and funny. And I have to admit I like all the hype around the tournament.

It's good how we see Johnny struggle to avoid making the same mistakes his parents made, and seeing how unhappy and scared he was during the events of the original movie was a great alternative perspective on the character.

How’d Karate Kid II do at the box office?

I would like to know this too. It got released just before my 4th birthday and I remember seeing the TV commercials for it. I loved watching Daniel smile at the girl when she smiles at him while holding her fan near the end of the film. I guess that you can say that Ralph Macchio is my first celebrity crush.

God bless you and him and the other remaining cast members always!!!

P.S. Another reason why that part of the film trilogy is my favorite is because there isn't even one swear word in it.

I've enjoyed the show...it's funny, and reminds me of when I was a kid.

In one episode this season, he actually made a great argument for why Iceman, and not Maverick is the real hero of Top Gun....hahah it was epic, and made some excellent points

Hey if you think the show is supporting racism or even that viewpoint, you're dumber than you sound.

huh? Who thought the show supports racism? Or even that line that was quoted is racist.

Karate Kid II made $115 million at the box office, more than the first film. I don't know how they calculate earnings on video, cable, streaming, etc., but it was a financially successful film for the studio that produced it.

^^^ Thank you.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. I wonder how well the third film did.
