Cobra Kai Meta and Ask Masterpost

Since Cobra Kai is almost over, and I still occasionally engage in discussions about the show but don't always have time to point-by-point defend my opinions to every person who replies to my posts (time is limited), here's a link to my cobra kai meta tag. I've written a lot about the show in the four years I've been watching it. Most of these posts are from right after S4 and S5, so they may not be totally up to date, but if you're interested in my take on the overall writing and themes of the show, Johnny's relationship with his sons and his effed up karate dad, and whatever the hell is going on with Silver and Kreese, here's some highlights.

I always try to back up my essays with textual proof (hence why I include dialogue and screenshots) and I read or listen to most every interview the writers do, which I find enlightening for understanding what they intended, even if it isn't always perfect.

Mini Essays:

Terry, Kreese, Johnny, what it means to be a Cobra Kai, ‘villainous values’ and the love of (evil) karate father for his karate son

The Big Cope, or the Lies We Tell Ourselves: Why Robby joined Cobra Kai

Fatherhood and thematic symmetry: Johnny, Robby and Miguel

"You Kicked Ass Today." Johnny and Robby's Reconciliation in S4

Reconciliation as Robby's Decision

Asks Answers/Reblog Debates/Shorter Meta Posts:

The protagonist of a book isn't always supposed to be likable or super relatable to the reader. Sometimes the entire point is that they aren't.

i got into star trek as a bit and now unfortunately ive realized its one of the most beautiful shows ever. its about love and family and exploration and warmth and possibilities and a hopeful and wonderful future. and its also so so fucking stupid

it is past time we jettisoned the useless false dichotomy of introversion vs. extroversion and just accepted that everybody has a minimum amount of social interaction, failing which, they get really weird. and everybody has a maximum amount of social interaction, exceeding which, they get really weird. these levels are different for everyone, for a variety of reasons, and have no moral dimension. and that is all.

Writing smut is fine.

Reading smut is fine.

Enjoying smut is fine.

Writing or seeking out books that contain smut does not make you bad. It does not mean you are stupid or "porn brained" or whatever other bullshit people like to say nowadays.

Smut is morally neutral. Enjoying smut does not make you a bad person. It does not make what you write or what you read "worse."

Smut is mortally neutral.
