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.

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

also: the entire show

I started/finished the show in the span of four days, you guys were not lying when you said it was fun bc it's insanely fun ❤️

Looking forward to Johnny & Daniel finally working together. Hope Ali won't return cause I don't want a love triangle between her, Johnny & Carmen.

I hope they give Tory more layers next season instead of just having her be a fucking sociopath. I know they would never go as far as killing a main character but Tory's hatred for Miss Privileged is way too much, she's been trying to kill Sam for too long now lol

Much like his parents, I don't care for Robby so I'm already over his storyline with Cobra kai.

Dying @ your last line LMAO

That took me out! 😂😂😂😂😂

Ali and Johnny are not an endgame. I think he realized after the country club, that he isn't feeling her that way and he really likes/loves Carmen. Also, that Dodge Caravan ride, is not attractive in any way shape or form lmfao.

Let's hope in s4 Johnny works hard to be better to everyone, especially Carmen - she is really really out of his league!

I did catch the skeleton hoodie thing. It was so obvious I wondered if it was some sort of uniform from the dojo.

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.

[insomniachobs]

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.

[trumpydoesmagic]

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.

[insomniachobs]

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
