Anyone Else Watching Cobra Kai?

[grapedrink]

Watched seasons 1 and 2 on You Tube. Season 3 just dropped, about halfway through. Fookin. Epic. Show.

Lots of original actors, most notably Daniel San, but arguably more importantly the villains who pepper in throughout the course of show, also with original actor. Intentional throwback to cheesy 80sness that honors and mocks it simultaneously while bringing it into the context and issues of today.

I normally roll my eyes at throwbacks of classic shows and movies that are an artifact of a lack of origin and often fail to do justice to the originals, but this show honors the original and takes it next level.

Now I fully expect to get tons of crap, especially from the same types of sarfers who talk gangs of sh!t about Point Break yet can somehow recite all of the lines Bring it, bitches

I worked on the campaign for season 1 and 2 when it first came out on youtube red or whatever theyre calling it now. The nostalgia wore off pretty quick and i couldnt get over how bad the kids are at acting.

 

[Roboworm]

I'm still on season one but digging it...

 

[Your Moms Dildo]

I'm planning on watching this if I run out of good stuff to watch.

I hear you. I agree that the teen acting is the weakest link. Although from a plot line perspective, I like how they are bringing in issues that we all dealt with growing up (bullying, etc) with the crap from today, mainly social media,. Also, how the plot crosses over the teenage kids of the main characters and weaves it all in.

Yea im on board until Johnny's son or the OG KK's daughter starts talking. I'll probably give s3 a whirl, aint sh!t else on TV.

You have to be in the same mindset that you would if you were to watch the original karate kid movies, again.

Sounds like a sh!t sandwich.

We're on season two. I asked my wife, is it supposed to be this cheesy? I think it is and I've been enjoying it.

 

[johnson7]

It took a while, but season 3 has me hooked. I guess I just love how cheesy it is, but I grew up in 80's too. Oh, not to derail this thread, But I'm hooked on "Mind Hunters" too.

 

[20W-50 and blood]

def so supposed to be indulgently cheesy. that in mind...so much of it is nailed

I've been watching "In Search of Bigfoot" and Les Stroud's Survivorman Bigfoot series.

Personally I think something is out there. I've spent time in a few of those places on those shows.

A trip planned this ealy summer up to Jarbidge, NV. The most remotest town in the lower 48 states. As an example. The closest town/grocery stores are in Twin Falls Idaho. A 4 1/2 hour drive. One way.

Jarbidge is the American bastardized name of Tsawhawbitts. The original Shoshonee tribal name.

It literally means "The home of the Cannibal Giants". The Shoshonee tribe has avoided this area for 100's of years. Tabuu...

Just farther south. Lovelock NV. The Lovelock caves... Some kind of protohumans lived there for centuries.
They are described as cannibals. It's an archeological site. The Humbolt sink is right there. Where the Humbolt river spreads out into a huge marsh/wetland.

They have found ancient reed sandals in this cave. For somebody that had a 16" long foot.

What I really dig is that it's a human story. It's not often that you get to see the backstory and upbringing of every character, especially the villains. You see how their challenges and insecurities as adolecents shape who they are as adults, for better and worse, and how they still carry those insecurities with them.

Being surprised with the old characters, often with the same characters, is the icing on the cake That and the constant Double Dragon soundtrack with every fight scene

That and the constant Double Dragon soundtrack with every fight scene

the history of the Basques in the region is super interesting...

Jarbidge Wilderness

One of the most remote spots in America and the first protected wilderness area in Nevada, named after an old legend.
