I think the endgame of this show will be taking out Cobra Kai (the dojo) PERIOD which I think would be really cool. All the teachings come from someone rotten to the core which is why even when Johnny did a baby version, it still turned kids into bullies. Eagle Fang is a batshit name (I stan lmao) and Johnny is still Johnny but I love that he's starting it off saying be a badass but don't be an asshole. It's hard to say that when you still have Cobra Kai no mercy mottos on your wall lol.

That would make total sense, right from the outset the show has made this big point of separating Cobra Kai from its students. Even with Daniel in the very first episodes they made it clear his trauma came from Kreese and Cobra Kai, not Johnny.

I'm desperately hoping they get into everything with Daniel's trauma and Johnny finding out cause if you don't know about Terry it really looks like he just can't let go of the Johnny fued which makes no sense cause he hugged him when he saw him again for the first time. Like, he was wrong with how he handled Robby when he found out he was Johnny's son but after seeing how he was played in KK3 I totally understand where his mind went. I REALLY hope that's where this is going.

I think so. Now they’ve addressed the event of part 2 it only makes sense for them to take a look at 3. And that phone call seemed to point heavily towards Silver

I hope they will, he already touched upon his trauma in Season 2 when he told the kids he was in Cobra Kai and also referenced his fight and fear in Season 3 when talking to Sam about her PTSD. I'm not sure the writing will be good enough to pull it off but I hope they'll try lol.
