Uncovering Karate Kid 3's Biggest Flaw with Hayden Schlossberg 

Totally agree! They've got everything just right too. I can't thank them enough

Dre will never show up. They’re not in the same universe. I think Julie is unlikely, but they may do it just for the fan service.

​@@king_supreme1102actually it's confirmed that she will appear in season 6 as a rival to Sensei Kim which makes sense considering that they're both strong female fighters who were trained by their mentors (for Julie it was Miyagi, for Kim it was her grandfather Master Kim).

@@dragonfire4527 confirmed? Gonna need a source on that.

​@@dragonfire4527no it's not

​@@king_supreme1102fan service? Nobody is a fan of her

Not exactly true. The 1st and 2nd seasons of Cobra Kai relied only upon KK1. The 3rd season introduced Kumiko and Chozen from KK2. Terry Silver, Mike Barnes and Jessica Andrews from KK3 came on board during seasons 4 and 5. The first 3 seasons of Cobra Kai can stand apart from KK3 without any connection.

I think for sure that KK3 defines the Cobra Kai style and the series draws on that even from the first episodes, ie. Johnny training Miguel on the dummy.

@@kobrakitsch877 I think what that person means is that the over the top nature of Cobra Kai from Season 2 and onward lends itself a lot to KK3, compared to the more realistic world of KK1 and KK2. Cobra Kai is a series that brilliantly manages to balance itself as serious, but also really over the top and sometimes even campy. Basically, it's drawing on all 3 movies. The first KK movie gives Cobra Kai it's heart, as that first movie was very grounded in a real world, the learning black belt level karate in 2 months not withstanding, it mostly stuck to reality. KK2 slowly moved away from that realism into a more cartoon world, but still mostly realistic. Then you had KK3, really over the top, a straight up comic book villian in Terry Silver and most of the characters really didn't mesh with how they were in KK1. The whole taking a good kid and turning him bad theme that Cobra Kai uses, even in Season 1 is straight out of KK3. If KK3 didn't exist, yeah you could try to bring the franchise back with Cobra Kai, but it wouldn't have the kind of legs it has, going for 6 seasons. I hated KK3 as a kid, but the movie has grown on me.

true

Col. Paul Dugan was not in KK3.

@kobrakitsch877 he is still part of the original karate kid myagi storyline.

@@TheFlushmate23 So true. Maybe Terry Silver should bring Dugan into the series like John Kreese brought in Silver at the beginning of season 4. But only to provide vital data and information since Michael Ironside is already TOO OLD to do fight scenes anymore.

@kobrakitsch877 or maybe since kreese is currently and escape convict he could be hiding out with Duggan.

@@TheFlushmate23 I certainly hope not. The flashback scenes establishing a bond between John Kreese as a young man and Kim Da Eun as a little girl would be totally wasted if that happens. Kreese should seek hidden refuge with Kim from the police.
