All I want from this show is for the female characters, especially Tory, to get better writing, and for Johnny to get his head out of his ass and help Robby.

I don't think I said this in any of the previous posts, but Miguel's recovery arc was so rushed. It ended up being more about Johnny's ability to be a sensei than Miguel himself.

I thought Miguel's arc would last at least until the very end of the season, I can't believe they had him and Sam overcoming their mental and physical shit just by the strength of karate lol

I will say tho that Johnny's attempts to get him to walk, such as using porn & fire, gave me a few chuckles.

Yeah, I wanted to get inside of Miguel's head during his recovery. Maybe I missed a line or a scene, but they didn't even explore the anger he would have towards Robbie. There's no way I'm standing calmly in front of a guy that briefly paralyzed me.

[barbychanftw]

Miguel didn't even say Robby's name during the entire season. It was all very weirdly handled.

[rainbows_are_ok]

haha okay, so I didn't miss anything. I mean, is there going to be a trial or anything? They really swept the consequences of this whole thing under the rug.

[barbychanftw]

Did you finish the season? Because Robby spent a couple of months in juvie because of what happened.

[rainbows_are_ok]

I did! but wouldn't he still have to have a trial after juvie? I thought he was just out temporarily until then.

[barbychanftw]

lol I have no idea. They didn't address that. The whole thing is bizarre. Robby is a minor and somehow Daniel and Johnny were okay with leaving him with Kreese.

[insomniachobs]

I still can’t about that. Kreese had just tried to straight up murder Johnny and he left his teenage son with him

THIS!!!!

And how Johnny "cured" or "rehabilitated" Miguel back to walking. No fucking way Johnny did that. Where were the actual rehabilitation therapists?? They couldn't show Johnny driving and accompanying Miguel to those sessions?

That one surfer dude in scrubs doesn't count. 😂😂😂

[barbychanftw]

ikr? It was ridiculous. Johnny doesn't know what wi-fi is, but he somehow can help a paralyzed kid walk again lmao

[thereinventions]

THANK YOU!!!

He can't even do anything to rehabilitate his relationship with his son but he can magically be Jesus and rehabilitate Miguel to walk and do high kicks again and fight his former Cobra Kai friends by season's end.

[barbychanftw]

Yeah, I'm surprised at how quickly the whole thing got resolved. Miguel was doing just fine by the end, didn't need to re-learn karate, and managed to beat Kyler during the house fight. There was a lot of poor writing this season. And Johnny spent more time on Facebook with Ali than trying to repair his relationship with Robby. I can't blame the kid for siding with Kreese because Johnny hasn't learned shit lol.

The lack of computer/ internet sends me in to a giggle! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
