#CK Negativity

[wraftofotters]

I did not think this fanbase could get any more annoying and then you have people DEFENDING A GROWN ASS MAN BITING ANOTHER PERSON. And then have the goddamn nerve to bash the person he bit for ....having an emotional reaction to it. I'm going to lose brain cells if I talk to another dumbass dude bro. You all suck. Seriously

[robbyykeene]

So in the end Johnny’s still bullying children and nothing has changed at all. The snake will forever be eating its own tail, but that’s a good thing apparently. Awesome.

[moon-to-saturn]

I’d 100% watch a Modern Family-style sitcom (with a little bit of drama) about the New York gang. I don’t even need fights, just Li processing his grief, some trauma bonding and gay tension.

Cobra Kai got six seasons with that crappy writing, and I don’t get to see my found family again? A crime.

Think about the potential. Dr. Fong and how she handled her grief. Li and Conor working through their issues and becoming besties with some homoerotic tension, Alan being the emotional support hypeman during fights, Li and Mia being absolutely adorable.

That quote from Lilo & Stitch where Stitch says he found his family and that even though it's little and broken, it's still good? THAT’S WHAT KARATE KID IS ABOUT. Broken people being broken together.

the devil couldn’t get to me by normal means so he invented the cobra kai writer’s room

[sawthefaeriequeen]

Also, in Karate Kid Legends, I counted five (!) male characters that didn't have a toxic masculine bone in their body, and after six seasons of "strike first, strike hard, no mercy," it was so damn refreshing.

i miss tkk johnny bc he would be the type to tell daniel his pants are passé and to take a long walk off a short plank

idgaf how much he hated sid you can’t tell me he didn’t enjoy being a pretentious evil fucker.

like he wears corduroy pants and button ups. he drives an AVANTI (the epitome of a douchebag luxury sports car). how many pairs of converse does he own? all his friends have matching custom leather jackets and motorcycles. laura probably made him take piano lessons. he had to keep high grades to stay on the school soccer team bc that’s just the rules in the states. he probably accidentally snorted too much coke at a party to seem more impressive and adult.

like that is a YUPPIE.

i miss him!!!

[eemcintyre]

Oh my fucking word

Tell me the creators of this show fucking hate Mr. Miyagi and Daniel and everything their style of karate stands for w/o telling me they hate Mr. Miyagi and Daniel and everything their style of karate stands for

Also why in the name of fuck does Daniel, of all people, have to “look at himself in the mirror” when we have frickin everything about Johnny still?? Be so serious. Be so for real right now.

This show was written by high school bullies who completely missed the point of the original films

[sleepyicon]

ok why was anthony not at the larusso auto party? why was devon not at the sekai taikai until johnny’s fight? why was robby not at dinner with the larussos?

oh while we’re at it why did the sekai taikai go on until the last 20 minutes of the show? we rlly needed at least one episode after it. and while we’re still at it this could have been accomplished if robby had won his fight against axel. and while we’re STILL at it can brandon nichols pls come back. he’s one of my favorite characters based 99% off what i created for him in my head. ok im done now.

[wrongroup]

Cobra Kai writers put marrying the love of his life and birth of his baby daughter in the second episode so Johnny could concentrate on the one thing that really matters winning the stupidest karate championship in the world.

[blues-valentine]

Robby ending up as a Karate influencer (?) feels like a joke when S4 & S5 set him up as a sensei that was able to skillfully mix Daniel’s teachings with defense moves. Him mentoring Kenny or Anthony and helping kids with trouble lives find a correct outlet in Karate was very much on his route… but I guess Cobra Kai has the correct formula for Karate and no mercy is the correct philosophy? And a kid that struggled with poverty cannot do better than becoming an influencer in a explorative industry. And not just one but two of them. How bad can that get.

[thedeadestmeme]

hold up. you’re telling me that the Sekai Taikai had an event where the kids have to kick each other off of a floating platform. and somehow, Miguel didn’t have a fucking breakdown??? like. did no one consider that having the kid that got *KICKED OFF A BALCONY* might have some issues with *KICKING OTHER KIDS OFF A FLOATING PLATFORM WITH THE EXACT HEIGHT OF THAT TWO-STORY BALCONY*???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? NO ONE SAW AN ISSUE WITH THAT???

seriously. how the fuck did the writers that once knew to include Sam dealing with legitimate PTSD after her attack from Tori *somehow* forget that Miguel might be traumatized from the incident that LED HIM INTO A FUCKING COMA. AND PARALYZED HIM??? but somehow!!! they needed to write Miguel leaving the tournament for, i guess, shitty plot reasons??? and they chose “your mother had a complication with her pregnancy:(“ over a VERY LIKELY PTSD-INDUCED BREAKDOWN BC THEY HAD HIM REENACT HIS ACCIDENT TO OTHER FUCKING KIDS. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????

and i know these fuckers remember that shit. they mentioned it last season, so how the ever-loving *FUCK* did they lose the plot so hard within this past season. absolutely insane.

[lesbian-samlarusso]

i'll forever be upset over the fact that NOBODY went to tory after her mom died?? one of our most powerful and strongest students has the world crash down on her in one day??? great, sam's the captain now! and hawk takes tory's spot! oh, and no one check up on her. not her loving and caring boyfriend who has supported her before in other instances, not amanda larusso who despite everything tory did to her daughter, still tried supporting her and getting her back on her feet, not any of her senseis who should be a good role model and influence on her life especially in one of the toughest times she's ever had to go through!

NOPE! just give her space cause clearly that's what she needs right now. "she'll come to us when she's ready" my ass!!!!! she deserved so much better

[robbyykeene]

So Robby becomes a stepford wife and Daniel becomes possessed by the ghost of Kreese. Gotta give it up to these showrunners man, they really know how to fuck a franchise every which way

[moon-to-saturn]

Seeing Ben Wang being praised not only by critics, but by the public and his castmates makes me so happy. After seeing how Rachel Zegler, Haile Bailey and Anthony Mackie were treated, I was so afraid that he would be attacked by racist Cobra Kai fans and even more afraid that the film would have a stereotypical approach or diminish him in favor of Daniel and Mr. Han, but fortunately he is the protagonist and the heart of the story. For me, Li is without a doubt one of the best characters in the franchise. He is everything a Karate Kid needs to be and Cobra Kai lacked, and a large part of that is Ben's merit. I really hope he has a great future.

[msfbgraves]

If, after six seasons of Daniel and Miyagi- bashing, Karate Kid Legends ignored every single thing that went on in Cobra Kai while being a perfectly understandable sequel to all the films that would be such a power move!

Nobody says the word "Badass" once.

It's finally about Daniel becoming a sensei in his own style without anyone undermining him, and people appreciating what he brings to the table as a person and a teacher.

Just... Daniel being treated with the same respect he's always shown.

He's earnt it!

After all, he's still not really used to that, being shown basic respect for all he's learnt and taught. Even Chozen could be more aggressive than he was comfortable with.

[macchiatosdumptruck]

Like yes the pregnancy storyline is bad both because it's misogynistic and because it's bad writing but I can't get over how they seem to think Carmen, who was a young single mom, and also a medical professional, and middle aged, and dating a man with no job, would be like "sure why not."
