Cobra Kai Ep 1 - “Ace Degenerate” - The Karate Kid Saga Continues 

Yes

Season 2 the girl is coming in also

@@operation6604 yes

Rumor has it Moritas widow has been forging sgd movie posters for yrs

@@postersandstuff he died

best thing they ever did.

I would never have guessed it. I am now just watching the first episode.

Am also impressed 😀

Who though ANYONE would make a spinoff, with the original actors, after 35 YEARS??? I'm about the same age as the main characters, too. Its freakin me out!

RU-vid didn't create it, they bought the rights to the show.

What do you mean as a joke

was never a joke. more like a small project that became big

It never was a joke wtf?

@@runthrufields thank you for that lol

@@tabby024_7 it started as a sort of gag in a sitcom called How I Met Your Mother where the eccentric guy of the main cast named Barney sees Johnny Lawrence as the true Karate Kid and was angry at Larusso for hogging the spotlight. Both Zabka and Macchio appeared in the show and Zabka was even in Barney's wedding

Ikr

@@harmanndhiman9492 2 천명까지 해설하겠습니다

Yes

Zabka should have played Johnny Cage back in "95.

@@popsie4488 How can anyone hate him?!

I think this whole series is to show that there is two sides to each story

Yeah whole point of this show was to change the perspective on Johnny

It’s somewhat evident in the original Karate Kid as well. You can see he was annoyed at Kreese when he told Bobby to break Daniel’s leg. Then after he lost, he congratulated Daniel. And then Kreese started strangling him in the parking lot. Johnny really was never the bad guy; he had a terrible influence in Kreese and Daniel kinda unknowingly provoked him.

Same thing for both of them if you want the karate kid

After watching this I learned they’re exactly the same just a different type of story same obstacles in life different choices

Are you kidding me???? He may not physically be part of the show but in spirit, he IS the show!!!!

Mr. Miyagi-Daniel-San you Remember Lesson about Balance? Lesson not just karate only. Lesson for whole life.

Luck will always come, your life got a Plan for you, so nerver give up!

@@lol-gz8zt Thank you for this im good but just wanted to make a relatable comment here😀

The struggle bro

@treezy I guess, but things could be worse for him

@@siddarapuram3726 Exactly. Atleast he has the bare minimum

@@siddarapuram3726 The only way it could be worse is if he was dead. 🤣

@@supersizesenpai No-what I mean is that he could be completely homeless, or he could be addicted, or something far worse than living in a crappy apartment and eating stale pizza every day.

@treezy There is no such thing as being homeless with a roof.

Agreed!

@@isaactheworshipwarrior6687 I *miss* the 80’s.

Agree

I love how the creators really stuided the movie..When Daniel sad in KK1..his uncle louie..they gave him a cousin Louie (presuming its his son) also how Johnny was a bully (Oh he had it rough at home with his annoying stepdad) They did a wonderful job.

To be fair, Johnny was more like a jerk bully, but not an antagonist or villain.

Symphonia30 ik, it’s but I’m just saying it as an expression

Didn't know that saying. But certainly age creates cynicism when our internal environments start to implode.

Lol, 69

No actually I'm a teen and I still think bad guys are cool

I think both him and ralph are great actors. I think they both want to put their all into this series rather than do other work though

Hea very good. It takes less than 2 minutes to all the sudden after 35 years start to like Johny. And he does it without saying a word.20 seconds in your like " man Johnies not a bad guy "

yeh well maybe this will be his breakthrough, and he will start getting other roles now

Yeah, he's really good.

I'd say he is getting recognition now. Cobra Kai is one of the most popular television series, period. I believe season 2 was rated #1 when it debuted!

It really could

@@emilio9barns579 yeah because it's been made clear that the writers have their story planned and mapped out, so they KNOW what they wanna do already.

@@isaactheworshipwarrior6687Plus the flashbacks, character development and their redemptions.

@@followerofchrist3125 those too. It's like the show has no reason to be as good as it is, especially since It started out on RU-vid Red of all places. Everything else that was on that platform isn't even a memory to anyone anymore

@@isaactheworshipwarrior6687 it aint even that good, the first season was but then it got cringe.

Yes! He's fantastic in this series.

Not to mention he looks great for a dude pushing late 50s nice work no mercy 🤘

I really, really hope he receives it. I wasn't sure RU-vid series could receive Emmys but I looked into it and they can! Fingers crossed . . .

@@franciscopuentes6049 j ..

I remember when I switched from Spotify premium to RU-vid Red, and seeing this I was like...wow, a TV series with the original karate kid actors. Now it's blown up only 4yrs and a global planned demic later. Most impressive.

One of the best series ever and one of the only shows that they were not stupid enough to actually cancel

It surprises how I mean Johnny is it to Miguel in the pilot episode he went from feeling annoyed at the innocent boy to loving him like a son

I think when he lost the tournament he was actually embarrassed and the tournament spectators such as freddy fernandez and his so called buddies were ever so excited for danny larusso winning the tournament so either johnny changed high schools or perhaps he simply dropped out though , I think johhny likely completed his own education

Yeah but its funny

Yeah, cause past experiences have no impact on a person.

There's the fact that life is constantly reminding him of it with the "Kick the Competition" slogan on every billboard.

If Kreese would have been Miyagi that wouldn't happen but Johnny didn't have LaRusso's luck.

I swear bro everyone forgot

😂

Just watched the film on TV and came here to mention...

It seems the show rewrote that part, because Johnny was already up and handing Daniel the trophy when the announcer said his name as the new champion. I think that's just how Johnny remembers it in his mind in 2018 after 34 years of bitterness about Daniel's life getting better after that, and his own life going downhill.

that's true. Jhonny was very good to Daniel on many occasions, he was just very badly influenced by his sensei. Jhonny deserves to be the protagonist of this series.

And an old saying fits what will come, “don’t be sad it’s over, be happy it happened.”

Season 5 was so damn awesome I wouldn't even mind if they just ended it there.

I have no idea what you think is a good actor but william isnt a very good actor, heath ledger tho hes pretty good

Krab trauma ur a fuckin idiot

I agree 💯% with you. He's a great actor and doesn't get much credit for his work. Karate Kid and Just One Of The Guys is where he's mostly known for. But he's a great actor.

He was awesome

@@tu.chiquitobombon All actors from the 80's are better than the crap actors of today, Zabka included. Even the movies of the 80's were better than the crap ones of today which is why we see reboots like this.

Huh he did?

ye lol whatta spoiler

I already finished cobra kai so it doesn't matter

Man don’t Spoiler this. It’s season one episode one here

Spoliers he didn't cure Miguel's coma, that would be a miracle, johnny would be god, but he help Miguel learn to stand again

Same here bro. Got into it in 7th grade, 2019 now I’m in 9th grade time sure does fly by. I remember me and my brother constantly watching and obsessing for season 3 to come out stuck on that S2 cliffhanger. Season 3 was one hell of a ride

How to watch this movies i cant watch on the RU-vid

@tonyilias2561 It's a Series, not a franchise, dumbass. Learn the difference. A franchise is a business set up to where you can buy into it and start your own, therefore Movies and Series by default do not apply, idiot.

Yes, but they are planning to spin most of the main characters off into their own Series, or so The Scrolls are foretold!

basically.

Paul Mathew what does any of this got to do with ally😂

RomanJC firstly he’s more likely to get back with Robbie a mum and secondly my comment was a joke

Anthony Koss relax my comment is only a joke it’s nothing serious and plus I’ve already seen the karate kid movie like twice anyways

Anthony Koss right?

Yeah, he would have been great training a new generation of Miyagi do.

i think mr.miyagi was from the one were the kids that were from cobra kai that were chasing a boy called david i think?

@@j4jilljill He's from the karate kid and this happens to be like a sequel to the karate kid

Yes, and it wouldn't have worked out nearly as well if they used different actors to play the 30 years later characters now. Thank God almost everyone from the 80s movies agreed to play their characters again 30 years older

@@Miist3rDuce1 exatly

He absolutely was a bully, but what I like about this is showing he wasn't one dimensional and had problems too (being forced to do that kick by his mentor, having a shitty father and no positive figure). It also shows how LaRusso changed for the worst, got a big ego and commercialized Miyagi's lessons for self-gain. I think the show is gonna teach us how people can turn themselves around for better and worse, and that the past can't define a person forever.

Kelly Joule And how life isn't pure black and white.

Kelly Joule spot on Kelly, neither of them were all bad or good just had good or bad moments... and that's true of most humans.

Marco Polo in the original movie he wasn't really, but there was always 2 sides to the story. If you think Johnny was innocent then you're just being bias and wrong for arguments sake

Kelly Joule Danny’s who doesn’t really seem to be out of hand tbh. He handled the situation with Johnny really well but I agree using the he shouldn’t be using karate as a slogan. At least not to the extent that he is.

And out of all if them, it was chungus

He figured that since he was fat, he would bounce right off

He wanted to defend Miguel and was just using his car as an excuse

@stevevigilante9944 🎶 BIG-BIG Chungus!!! BIG Chungus!!! BIG Chungus!!! BIG-BIG Chungus!!! BIG Chungus!!! BIG Chungus!!! BIG CHUNGUS! BIG CHUNGUS!

"A bunch of things must have gone wrong if you're listening to this. Whatever happened, I know you must be real scared. I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to run for home. Maybe if I was you I'd want to make a flat out run for Hellicon Air Force Base in Greece. Right now, you're probably full of all the doubts in the world; and I'm going to tell you something, Doug, God doesn't give people things he doesn't want them to use and he gave you The Touch - it's a power you have inside of you down there where you keep your guts, boy, and it's all you need to blast your way in and get back what they took from you. Your dad is just sitting there waiting for a miracle and if you fly your heart out you can give him one; it's up to you. Don't bother putting on this tape if you're turning back. Good. You decided, didn't you. Alright, first thing you gotta do is convince yourself that nothing can stop you. You've got to believe that plane your in is a suit of armor, like an Iron Eagle that nothing can penetrate. Now listen close, kid. I recorded some stuff to help you through each part of the mission. Remember to talk into your flight recorder so that there is a record of everything. Don't waste your time worrying about me - you start thinking that way and you'll mess up. Just pretend I'm in that cockpit with you and we're still going in to knock the sh*t out of them together. "
