Things I hope to see in the next season of Cobra Kai:

I GUESS SPOILERS FOR SEASON 5

Hector aka Miguel’s dad returns : Opens a door for Johnny and Carmen’s relationship to develop when it’s her past lover that reenters her life. Johnny’s past already made an appearance now it’s Carmen’s turn. Maybe he appears to be a nice guy/ a changed man now that he knows he has a son. Maybe miguel is still vulnerable and in denial enough to buy into his bullshit even for a little while. Maybe he will use miguel in his “businesses” once he sees what an asset he could be based on his fighting or smthg. All in all i want to see this dangerous man in action like don’t tell me he is, show me. Like him telling miguel about what happened in Ecuador and running from the FBI feels like a tease and it’d be a waste to leave him in the dust.

Step away from the plot for a sec and focus on the characters’ growths: i feel like this season too many things were happening like they’re setting up for the big match and neglecting what could be important character arcs and journey. Like Tory this season, yes we see her struggle in Cobra Kai but I want to see her battling this and coming out on top. See her contemplating returning the trophy, wanting to tell robby, seeing how Devon is getting poisoned by Silver and Sensei Kim; things like that. Same goes for all of them especially the teens like the adults i feel they’ve mostly sorted things out this season. Namely Daniel. Oh and seeing Johnny settle into becoming a dad. A good better one, i want to see that development.

Robby and Miguel being awkward brothers: it’s still weird to me how they can just let go of 4 seasons worth of bitter rivalry and miscommunication like with a snap of a finger. Maybe despite their shared interests in girls, they have different interests and hobbies and basically just them having the chance to have a heart to heart where they actually talk it out yknow. Maybe robby can confess how he felt jealous of miguel’s relationship with johnny and maybe even confessing how he’s scared he might feel the same towards the new baby or that johnny would let them down again. Maybe (most likely) miguel would also confess his jealousy of robby having a present father and confessing what happened in mexico with his dad. Then they’ll comfort each other and be like they have each other’s backs and all. We saw protective miguel maybe we’ll get protective robby too.

Prime Miguel: this boy has been through way too much for him to lose another tournament. Since I hope his father would have a part in the tournament -whether he’s partnered up with a dojo or is a judge or something- it would be the time and place for him to show his dad that he shouldn’t mess with miguel. I want to see him tap into that ruthlessness and confidence he had in the first season of cobra kai but more refined now that he has had more practice and more styles and sensei than before. Right now I don’t think he has found his balance like Hawk but thanks to his father, he will and he will be unstoppable.
