COBRA KAI S5 REVIEW (unhinged vers.)

SPOILER WARNING AS IF IT ISN'T CLEAR.

I actually wrote a list of my thoughts post episode 8, and oh it was not positive. Luckily enough a few of the things I was annoyed about were addressed the last two episodes where a lot happened. I've now slept on it and am ready to give a less rantsy review lol.... if you like to hype everything CK and only wanna hear positive things then I suggest you don't read further.

+ indicates positives (duh) and - negatives.

Let's rip the band aid off first.

- Mike Barnes being a wasted character and only there to subvert expectations (SAD!!!) - As a consequence, too many new characters brought in making the plot messier, crowded, contrived - Chozen being forced to like the girl he almost killed bc everyone needs to have a significant other / love interest of the opposite sex on this show - Kreese prison break is the dumbest shit I've ever seen - Kreese dying tragically in prison as he's trying to better himself would've been such a good writing choice, but they wanted to subvert that too - Kreese's plan he had with Tory never being explained - Johnny/Carmen baby drama making me want to barf all over my computer - Carmen being a baby carrier instead of an actual person - New gen kids serving no purpose in the overall story (except Kenny a little) - Rehashed plot of Sam/Miguel breakup taking up too much screentime and serving no purpose for the characters - Cheesy octopus < 🙄 - Half assed attempt at giving Sam introspection which gets dropped an episode after it was introduced - Sam being self absorbed (what's new) and deflecting blame - Demetri & Hawk could've been absent and there would not be any difference - Forced attempts at giving Hawk any relevance - Hawk being hypocritical and full of himself - Miguel's Mexico journey not changing anything for the character or his relationship with Johnny (or anyone for that matter) - Too little focus on Robby/Tory as a unit and their conflict - Too little focus on Robby/Kenny as a unit and their conflict - Robby redeeming and propping Johnny is not the same as developing and repairing their relationship, writers - Johnny kidnapping Robby to Mexico for absolutely no reason when he was gone tops 2 days - Carmen kind of forcing (and wanting!?!?) Johnny to have a baby with her - Johnny using new baby as an excuse for Miguel/Robby to have to get along - Robby breaking up with Tory after one disagreement - Robby going to see them at the Cobra Kai dojo way too late - Tory not confiding in Robby at all - Robby's character suffering from having to unnecessarily bond with every other character except the ones he truly cared about - Robby being forcefully sidelined in the story because he has to be attached at the hip with his new "family" - Tory ending up the show's punching bag, blamed and excluded for the 50th time - Devon Lee being... there, kind of annoying and one dimensional - Too much Kreese with no pay off - Too many flashbacks - No explanation to why Sam/Robby are cordial (I shouldn't be surprised they didn't explain Sam/Hawk either) - Stingray crying crocodile tears... actually just Stingray. - Sam being the one to wave her finger at Stingray wanting to keep his benefits (couldn't ANYONE ELSE have said that) - Silver not being the mastermind everybody expected him to be and mainly waving around his money - Amanda siding with Silver over her husband... dumb but ok - Jessica Andrews, just way too convenient - Kyler still being "one of the best" in Cobra Kai is laughable - Them trying to kill off Chozen, the only POC sensei - Them not having any balls to kill off any characters, but like to dangle it in front of us - Practically no Mike Barnes/Silver interactions

+ Very good fighting choreography + Cool shots and scenes i.e. Sam's dream, Miguel/Robby balcony fight 2.0 + Miguel/Robby relationship + Robby/Tory relationship (what we got) + Robby/Kenny relationship (what we got) + Kreese's therapy sessions (before it got subverted) + Miguel's scenes with his real dad + Johnny Lawrence comedy + Chozen... just, Chozen... seriously he might've carried the whole season for me + Chozen/Daniel relationship + Chozen/Johnny comparing notes lol + Daniel's arc and seeing him at his lowest + Anthony/Sam sibling bond + Little we got of Anthony/Chozen + Inverting Daniel and Johnny's "roles" + Daniel/Silver fights + Tory working as "undercover" instead of continuing to be "brainwashed" + Sam helping Tory although them coming together felt rushed + "I broke up with him for the dojo, you BITCH!" + Peyton List's acting + The new gen kids' acting + The Quicksilver method ! + Kenny/Silver scenes + Tory/Kreese scenes + More about Silver's background and ambitions + I don't blame Amanda for being done with Daniel's skeletons in his closet even though I called her dumb + Miguel speaking Spanish hehe + Chozen infiltrating CK was cool but should've been a full season thing- + Mike Barnes being the only og character not holding onto an old karate tournament, lol

PROBABLY COBRA KAI SEASON 5 SPOILERS

Look i love miguel like he’s my ride or die but do people (especially the sam haters) not realize that the scene where they broke up and miguel walking away in tears AND the scene where sam saw him kiss someone else and walking away crying are direct parallels?

Like Miguel had brought the necklace which symbolises hope. Hope that they could mend their relationship and everything can get better but, when he heard that she wasn’t okay; he realised what she needed wasn’t him and he didn’t push for the relationship by giving her the necklace and all that. He said “I understand and I want what’s best for you. Always” and agreed to be friends. When he left her house he was probably thinking how if he hadn’t left to mexico and heeded his mom’s warnings about his dad, they wouldn’t be where they are now. He then dropped the necklace, as if he is letting go hope that they could ever be again because although he wanted her to be happy he didn’t want to break up and the necklace would only give him heartache if he held on to it.

Now sam, she found the necklace before her tournament and I think she quickly realised who it was from and who it was for. During the tournament when she felt anxious and insecure about her fight especially with a partial ref, miguel was the first to assure her that she’s the better fighter and tell her that no matter what, she’ll always have them in her corner. She never stopped liking miguel but because she connected him with karate and she needed to leave karate in the past, she felt she needed to do same with him. She thought she needed to face her demons and insecurities alone but what the tournament proved was that she didn’t need to be alone all the time and that it’s okay to let people (aka. miguel) in. So she goes to the party with the necklace hoping they could mend their relationship or even start anew. But, when she saw him kiss someone else she realised he didn’t want or need her anymore. He’s moved on and left her behind while she was too wrapped up in her problems. When she left crying, she was mourning their relationship and maybe blaming herself thinking if she hadn’t asked for the break up they could’ve figured things out and maybe he could’ve helped her find the person she wants and needs to be. I think she was more upset at herself than she was at miguel.

She never faulted him for moving on, she was unhappy but she never got mad at him or anything. He brought it up to her and apologised about the kiss but she said he didn’t need to be sorry about anything. They were broken up. After last night she was still upset and feeling down especially after hearing the news about silver rigging the game from tory and about silver framing kreese it was a bummer after bummer. She’s thinking all this was the reason she thought she was the failure, the problem but it wasn’t and as a result she let go of miguel when she probably didn’t have to. THATS what she was upset about and she knows she has no right to be mad at miguel for moving on that’s why she didn’t blame him for anything he felt guilty because he also still liked her. And really how much time has passed since the break up? Weeks? A month? They were on and off for years and even when they were off they weren’t really off because they constantly thought of the other person. So getting to the just friends stage would obviously take longer than that.

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.

#cobra kai #miguel diaz #robby keene #tory nichols #eli hawk moskowitz #eli moskowitz #cobra kai hawk #samantha larusso #cobra kai spoilers #cobra kai season 5 #ck 5 #wishful thinking #i miss no mercy miguel ngl #robby deserved better
