There's really no villains except for maybe John Kreese or pony tail man. It's mostly just a collection of stupide people doing stupide things to move the plot forward. But I drink every bit of it up 😂
It's becoming very 90210-ish. One of the things I noticed (and what makes Danny a villain) is that for all his talk about using karate for good and not trying to settle disputes with fighting.....he settles all his disputes by starting a fight. He's even had to be restrained a couple times from starting more fights. I really liked how in season one they addressed the fan theory of Danny being the real bully (which he was). I wished they had kept that going.
He really lost his way without Mr. Miyagi.
Speaking of the writers, if I was writing the show one big change I would have made is to Krese's back story. Instead of him being a real war hero bad-azz, I would have made him some kind of stolen valor guy or just an admin pogue, who through dumb luck or mistaken identity inadvertently saved Silver's life...but in reality it was something really cowardly. Something like their camp being overrun and Krese running away instead of manning his post and trips, knocking Silver out of the way and accidentally falling on a grenade. Silver, thinking it was an act of extreme courage and sacrifice, puts him in for a Medal of Honor or something. Krese is a hero. In order to maintain the facade of tough-guy hero, Krese gets into martial arts. Eventually, Silver would learn the truth and exact his revenge for making him spend his life indebted to Krese.
It would also help explain why there is a total lack of adult students at Cobra Kai. Krese knows it's easier to manipulate kids. He's lived a life of lies. Kids don't ask questions.
Yeah, I've spent way too much time thinking about this....
I've noticed that Chozen is starting to talk exactly like Miyagi. Same voice, same advice....
Don't forget that Kreese showed courage as a teen-ager when he defended the young lady from her football hero boyfriend at the local diner. That makes me think there's a good guy hidden somewhere in there.
I havent seen any of the latest season yet. I was binging on the first 2 seasons when I discovered the show but trailed off with the later ones as it got more and more far-fetched and further away for the original premise. Johnny Lawrence as just a misunderstood villain and Danny LaRusso as the real heel was an awesome and entertaining story line. I will most likely still swing back around to see what happens next, but I am a lot less excited about it.
