AviRox1154 lmao couldn’t agree more 😂

Well to be fair he didn't try to kiss her again. And I mean who asks everytime before they kiss someone. Yes he should have guessed it and not use her to make Daniel jealous but there are much worse things

@@alenciaga21 Ight but like if your lowkey abusive ex forced you to dance and then kissed you I don't think you'd be defending them

Cobra Kai makes Johnny human and just like in SNL skit,Johnny Lawrence is more of a prick than evil

@MrGonzale09 yep I agree. It's a lot better than the memes people post. Nobody: No one in the world: Joke:

I love both of these, thank you!

How about Ralph getting hit in the face for real? Ralph gets a roundhouse kick hit in the jaw. Billy and Ralph had practiced the blocking but the director wanted to shoot a different angle but Billy didn't adjust so Ralph got the full force of the hit and had to drink his meals through a straw for a couple of days.

Totally. The whole dynamic takes on new meaning after you learn about Miyagi’s tortured past.

That was cheesy and soo lame Plus clicheic

@@szekesfehervar2230 It's a kids action movie from the 80's. Cheesy and lame is the name of the game

Makes me tear up. Even the 2009 version did the same cause the karate kid is a movie that i love so much i hold it in high esteem.

Too bad it's the same woman featured within the second kar8 kid film installment If anyone likes look @ the picture on the table then look at the picture myagi in his illicit narcotic, barbitute and intoxicating agent induced state Then feel free to check out the pictures with sato - it's the same woman Myagi supposedly lost in the internment camp during the second world War - mister myagi was actually trash Better to stop watching the films that were full of pathological gamblers and lying criminal stalkers

Honestly, Johnny is more an asshole because of how he treats Ali than because of how he treats Daniel. I mean he's still a bully to Daniel, but he's straight up sexually harrassing Ali.

Kind of think of it...you're right,I just realized know and it totally makes sense

@@jasondyrkacz8270 yeah then Kreese gets involved and it all starts again

Best coming here best comment here damn my speaker

Notice how Miguel several times questions his war story accounts and even corrects him

Hans Mökli you’d be surprised. I’d recommend looking up Roy Benavidez to start with personally. TLDR: he was critically wounded twice while fighting in vietnam. First was a land mine that by all accounts should’ve crippled him for life. He taught himself how to walk again through sheer stubbornness and immediately reenlisted. Second time was when a twelve man special forces team got pinned down by an enemy battalion. Dude charged in with nothing but a combat knife and a medical bag, fought the enemy battalion for 6 hours with what was left of the special forces team, saved 8 of them and ended up receiving 37 separate bullet, bayonet and shrapnel wounds. Then he eventually received a medal of honor, became a motivational speaker and author after retirement and died 30 years later of diabetes

How do you know that I mean I didn't watch Cobra Kai I would think that through the original trilogy is many times as Kris saved Terry silver sleigh and the fact that he was a captain and he was very good soldier that he would have received many medals maybe not in Gresham medal of Honor but I think they did that because what happened to me I he's wife which doesn't really match up with what you know goes on in karate kid 2 there's a serious continuity are there but whatever I think they felt bad for him because they did him wrong and they gave him a medal of honor because of that. If I had to pick one to go into battle with I would certainly pick Sensei Krisyes it's spelled wrong I'm not arguing with my worthless speaker today it's too early

@@aaronbradley3232 I'm sorry, what?

Kreese is a silver cross. Not bad either... Actually, it's amazing!

Sounds like you had a great weekend.

Lol

I met someone whose surname was Danielson.

@@brianbraddock32 LMAO

@@brianbraddock32 i know a guy whose father is named Daniel, therefore he is Daniels son.

Thank you for sharing as well - telling about it in the movie the way they did ("land of free, land of brave, no doctor come" - man...) was really powerful and commendable

I learned more about WWII and American History from that one scene than I did in school. I honestly believe [Mr. Miyagi] put me on the road for my love of WWII history.

Thank you for that perspective

I don’t have your background (thank you for sharing), but without a doubt that scene is the heart of the movie and carries so much of it in that moment

Cutting that scene out would've been like losing the Indianapolis speech Quint gives in Jaws...it's not about the plot, but you learn so much about the character, and it's a scene everyone remembers.

Wow another rare intelligent comment

@@aaronbradley3232 haha cheers man

If Pat Morita was still alive, it would have been a whole movie

@@Devils_Lair_Comics well yes, but that Season 1 Episode dedicated to him was perfect.

Without Morita, it makes no sense. He was always the main character.

I hope he review the series :)

I’m betting we’ll have to wait a few weeks or a couple months for that. I’d love for them to do it season by season for the show. 🙂

I agree, because his girl broke up with him and he did try to FORCE her to do what she didnt want. I mean i like him and the Cobra Kai show, but i dislike how people suddenly become "experts". Sure, Daniel wasnt holy as well (i think the soccer foul isnt a reason to instandly start to attack someone... no wonder he got kicked out of the team) and the way he started the provocation over and over he really cant complain for becoming their target. I mean when you put a garden hose over someone (why was that in the bathroom?) it's very likely that you will get into a fight. That still doesnt make it ok that they wanted to beat him up so hard that they could've killed him AND THEN Jhonny is talking about this in Cobra Kai like they're the victims, because MrMiyagi did beat them up

Does anybody actually unironically think Johnny was the hero? I always thought that was a joke because Barney from How I met Your Mother was an asshole who always cheered for the villains like the Terminator and DarthVader? did people actually take him seriously?

@@nonspiderweb yes unfortunately people did. It's all over Cobra Kai KZfaq videos and people have made video essays on it and everything. There really are tons of people who believe Johnny was the hero. I can't remember if it was on the trailer for Cobra Kai season 1 on KZfaq, I think it was, but the comment section is chock full of it. It's honestly insane. You have to purposefully miss so much context to actually think Johnny was innocent the whole time.

@@jaminelvers7250 I think the whole point of Kobra Kai is that things are never as cut and dry as heroes and villains in the real world, esspecially when you are a teenager you look at things in black and white when really it is just about whose perspective you see things from. Looking back on it through the lense of Kobra Ki it is mostly trying to say people can be selfish and make bad decisions in the heat of the moment which we can come to regret, it does not make us bad people, just people who are still changing and learning.

Johnny and Daniel's versions of events in Cobra Kai are both skewed and biased but Daniel's is a bit closer to what really happened. The sad part is that Johnny absolutely *believes* his take on the story.

He said it because Daniel calls them baby trees in the movie.

@@theguywhoisaustralian1465 that's fair i hadn't seen the movie in a while

Lol, when I first saw it, my brother and I burst out laughing

Why

@@aaronbradley3232 It's a nice callback to when Miyagi was telling him to always look someone in the eye out of respect. Miyagi was passed out drunk, Daniel bowed and "looked him in the eye". Daniel was being respectful to Miyagi on his own.

@northern_lights Which is why in the Karate Kid III, they changed the relationship with Robin Livley's character as Ralph was 28 and Robin was 16 and Ralph felt it was kinda creepy, which is why it was changed to her having a boyfriend back home and they just stayed friends.

I bought the headband replica off Amazon. The movie is even better wearing it.

They had a nice tribute for him In the cobra Kai series

Nicholas Cross came to comment on this. He said Japanese internment camp. It was a US internment camp for japanese, which makes it 1000x worse

I would say that this is actually an instance where Canada was worse. Canada had the same kind of camps, however they didn't get rid of them until years after the war and after the US did, I believe it was an extra 5 years for Canada. It is also not hard at all to connect the dots of how it happened, took a guy who was opening in a society all about keeping Canada white, and put him in charge of figuring out how to deal with Japanese people. He sent them away so their property could be stolen and sold by the government to white people. They weren't even sneaky about it or anything, it was so blatant, it is absolutely astounding. Everyone did horrible things during that time, but we can't ignore any of them, just because someone else might have done worse.

@Hans Mökli well first off, I wouldn't go calling germany forward as some grand example. At least in the case of Japanese people in Canada, they weren't complicate in any kind of wrong doings, they had zero say in the government that wrong others, and could do absolutely nothing about what had happened or what was happening. In all forms they were completely and totally blameless. Germany in the other hand has a fair amount of debate around it. Not saying what was done to innocent people wasn't wrong, but a case for complicity and such can at least be made in general. Either way I didn't really say anything about anyone paying for anything, I simply pointed out that it was worse in Canada and that wrong doings should never be ignored. I don't believe in ignoring it in any form. Just because the allies won doesn't mean we should ignore the bad things that many of them did during the war, it should be acknowledged and people should learn about it, especially in school. Also yes Russia did terrible things, and actually that part does tend to be taught in school a decent amount, mainly because it makes Russia look bad and many textbooks are still based off of the cold war agenda. However the horrors that Germany inflicted on Russia actually tend to be skipped over far more often. Despite facts like it being the only time death squads marched with the regular forces to literally clear people out. Also what was done to Germany after world war 2 was considered incredibly minor, and actually very lenient, mainly showing that lessons from after world war 1 had at least somewhat been learnt. Even though the second time around Germany was actually far more at fault than the first time (the first world war was really everyone fault equally, it just came to down right stupidity, and arrogance). Edit: as for the Irish, I mean I honestly have no clue what has happened with that whole issue. I am unsure if Britain has ever made any kind of repetitions or acknowledged wrong doing or anything. I simply don't know enough about that situation to really speak on it.

@Hans Mökli and every one of those camps were terrible. In fact the type of comment you are reply to is basically meant to point out the fact that despite what some might think and are taught countries like the US weren't these perfect places that never did anything like what Germany and the Soviet Union did. Most everyone knows Germany and the Soviets had horrific camps, but the US and Canadian camps are taught about far less, which is not a good thing. Also not really sure why you seem to have a specific issue with the French, mainly because I don't think they have anything to do with the conversation at hand what so ever. Mainly because during the time of these camps France didn't really have any kind of control over their country in order to make such camps. They had one small province they stayed in control of by trading all of their Jewish people for it, and I am unaware of any such camps being in that one small area. It should also be noted that at least during world war 2 the camps in Germany in particular where on a whole other level than anywhere else. The Soviet Union would get to that point generally as well, but Germany is really the only one who made camps specifically meant to kill, and ultimately exterminate entire groups of people. What the US did was still very bad, but if nothing else it was at least not on that same level as Germany. The US and Canada wanted to take their homes and valuables, Germany wanted to take people's lives. There is at least a bit of a difference there.

@Hans Mökli yes and no, I won't deny the impact and role the treaty played in world war 2 coming about, but Germany and the German people are just as much to blame. The treaty certainly didn't help anything, but the German people still did always have a choice. One also has to note the era you are in. Yes basically every European nation at some point invaded eachother for land and resources. However in the days of world war 2 it was kind of agreed that those days were generally done. At some point countries do have to progress past that point. It just seems that Germany was the last to try and do it, after basically all other countries had decided that enough was enough. I mean it was even supposed to be the main reason the league of nations was created. Sorry but you can't really just point to the past and say "see they did it before" and suddenly justify it being done in a modern era. A country today can't really just point at England and say "you used to have slaves" in order to justify said country having slaves in this day and age. Also as it turned out Germany did a lot more than simply invade and take land and resources. Typically France and Britain didn't try to systematically wipe out an entire group of people whole invading, especially people who made up a fair amount of their own citizens. Edit: I would also like to add that, had world war 2 simply been a kind of repeat of world war 1, just maybe a bit more of Germany invading out of desperation from being hit harder by the great depression. People would not generally view Germany nearly as badly. The reason why there is the general idea of "Germany bad" as you say, from that time is because of what Germany did beyond simply invading for land and resources. Remember people now generally don't view Germany as the bad guys at all in world war 1, it is fully acknowledged that basically every other country was equally to blame, and that putting full blame on Germany at the end was wrong. World war 2 on the other hand ends up being a very different story, because invading other countries was by no means the only thing Germany did, unlike in the first world war.

Really good insight! Thank you for sharing and educating :)

Well, it was mentioned in the video, about "the "real Mr. Miyagi".

This is absolutely correct! I've trained in Goju-Ryu since 2005, and while there are LOTS of misconceptions about karate in this movie, Miyagi isn't one of them.

@@JakkFrost1 yes and the point Hannah was making was that the 'real Mr. Miyagi' mentioned in the film wasn't THE _real_ Mr. Miyagi. He _was_ the guy to come over to work with the film, but the filmmakers got inspired by and took the fighting style from _another_ dude, with a different fighting style.

@@b9morion I personally was not a huge fan of the Jaden Smith one

My vote definitely has to be for the 2010 one...I feel like it tells a more coherent and captivating story and adds a bit more depth to the characters.

Oliver TWIST Exactly! well-written/well-developed character does not equal them being a good person, just like a tragic backstory doesn’t justify abusive/toxic behavior.

I think its more that Daniel was kind of a dick also in some moments. I definitely wouldn’t say to the same amount as Johnny but definitely was still pretty immature but they’re teenagers so it makes sense he would be.

It's also worth mentioning that both were heavily influenced by extremely manipulative and abusive parents/adults in their lives, but then went on to have at least an amicable relationship with their one-time rival/enemy after they grew up a little more and came to terms with their past.

Johnny isn't the hero by any means, but he's not a villain. He's an antagonist sure, but he's not a villain.

The Awkward Gamer Yeah exactly. I think thats why The Karate Kid was so far ahead of its time and how Cobra Kai managed to be such a great show. Neither characters perfect but at the same time they each had their charm. They were both like able so it was easy for the Cobra Kai characters to establish both Daniel and Johnny as protagonists (even if Johnny is mostly the main character)
