What character do you hope or think will change the most this season?

Y'all are forgetting that for Johnny, Kreese was his primary father figure, moreso that his stepdad so of course he has a soft spot for him to give him a second chance. What son wouldn't want to redeem his father even if only a little and no matter how much of a disappointment he is? Once you see it that way everything starts to make sense. Johnny had Kreese as a father and Daniel had Mr. Miyagi, both are products of that upbringing. Daniel had the fortune of having an exemplar example of a father-figure to follow and model his own life after as compared to Johnny who was betrayed by his.

Scenes like Johnny telling Hawk and Miguel not to fight dirty, him dealing with his past traumas, and a scene coming up in 2 episodes are the reason why Johnny is one of my fav fictional characters and why William zabka’s performance is one of my favs ever

I love that moment when Pat says, "I'm fine," and Navi just tears into him while Suraj laughs and Rana just sits there with a "I'm not getting involved in this" expression. Brilliant.

When in doubt, remember Miyagi's teachings. That discussion about how to raise kids needs BALANCE.

Damn Navi calling Pat out 😂

31:48 holy crap that's hilarious. Navi's commentary was great in this reaction.

Shoutout to all the Og cast members for just slidin back into their roles like it was nothin. Martin kove W

Sam didn't push Aisha away, she was nice to her and even offered to hang out with her just the two of them but she never defended her against her new friends either and she apologized to her for that in the last season finale. She also never dissed Hawk and Dimitri, she was even mad at Kyler when she saw him bullying them which is part of the reason why they broke up. I assume she hung around Miguel's friends when they started dating.

Pat, you agreeing with the villain is not the flex you think it is xD Just like when he agrees with the Always Sunny in Philadelphia crew...

Pat is... Very unique

Unless I’m mistaken, Johnny vs. Old Man Kreese was filmed as part of the closing scene but they intentionally made it as this season’s opener.

Pat was so close to getting it, but it went right over his head. He even said “all you care about is your toy!” about this theoretical child. That’s the point haha if the only thing in the world the child cares about is a toy, and you take that toy away, then you can understand why the child would react in a way you’d think is overly dramatic. Doesn’t mean you can’t discipline or have to coddle the child, but it does put some perspective into why a child acts that way.

Rana: " I went to therapy and I am done!" Good on you!!

"Just change the name to Cobra Mai"😂 I love it

Seasons 2-4 are the apex of the show. Season 2 we get Kresse, Tory and Stingray. It crazy to think how far Paul Walter Hauser’s career has developed since appearing in Cobra Kai.

It's called Parental Guidance for a reason. You try to guide the child, not force them one way or another. Everyone needs to make their own mistakes and learn their own lessons. That's how we become the people we grow up to be. It's the parent's job to give the advice, set boundaries, discipline when necessary, and guide them back on track when they stray, with the main goal that they become better people than you. Forcing kids to become the person we want them to be is a recipe for disaster.

I gotta say, if Pat has kids he's going to learn really quick, or else become one of those dads that never sees his kids again from the moment they become adults.

25:03 Its annoying when older generations complain about the younger generation being soft but its the older generation coddling. You think kids are in a player association demanding participation trophies?

17:05 I love the way you all screamed NOOO in unison 😂

Suraj and Rana give off brother/sister energy

9:09 Bro not pat getting hyped about an old white dude complaining about todays youth lmao... all of his takes give big (concerning) Krease energy tho

I'm scared to think about what might be in Pat's browser history.

Man Kreese's smirk is perfect

Fuck Miles?!?! Ain’t no way

Navi with a beer is ❤

“Einstein’s parents didn’t let him watch tv.”😂😂😂😂 TVs didn’t exist when Einstein was a kid.

It just gets better and better each season man !

There were a minimum of 3 instances where the keyboard is lucky Navi didn't snap it in half across her leg because of Pat, lol.

Rana and Suraj out here sharing a brain cell XD

Ralph was Vinny's cousin..... hence....My Cousin Vinny

Sam never dissed anyone, and when her friends did she stopped hanging out with them. Then when she tried to go back to Aisha, she was pushed away.

Ralph actually owns the yellow car, he got it after the first movie.

Actually if you remember the first day of school Sam smiled at miggy when he was going to talk her after the guys told him that they were the rich kids and before Kyler and big guy plopped down at the girls table

This is the Best Season of Cobra Kai imo. Especially the first few episodes where everyone's Together. Yall are going to love Ep 10

The conversation at the end triggered my early childhood development brain i gotta scream into the void a little sorry! But as someone who works w kids, children are literally figuring out how to navigate the world and dealing w information and emotions thats all very new to them and as parents/ guardians/ caretakers its our job to help them understand and guide them to process these things in a healthy manner. Kids dont come out of the womb knowing how to properly react to something that upsets them so obviously its gonna take time for them to figure out how to express their wants or needs but their feelings are very valid they just gotta learn how to properly navigate them. And they are capable of having complex emotions so i never really found the whole "youre just a kid you have no responsibilities or bills to pay u dont know what feeling sad is" thing fair like... they're not just empty vessels that suddenly gain emotions at a certain age. And some kids are nightmares but a lot of the time its probably because they didn't have parents that had the patience, caring, and/ or understanding to help them from the beginning and its also how we end up w nightmare adults! Anyway that was a lot but I could see what Navi and Suraj were trying to say about validating children's feelings but also explaining why certain disciplinary action was needed. Kids need things explained to them to understand. They wont feel satisfied w an adult just saying "because I said so" its gonna make them want to challenge your authority even more or lead to more behavioral issues bc you aren't redirecting them just asserting dominance.

I was born in 1982, and that participation award shit started around when I was partway elementary school. The thought was that kids self-esteem was too low, so you artificially inflate it by making everybody a winner. If you bring valentine's cards to give to someone, you have to buy them for the whole class so no one feels left out. Those who lose get lesser awards for participation. All it does is never teach kids how to deal with losing so they feel entitled to be "winning" when they are not putting in the the effort to do so.

31:39 Anyone skipping the discussions at the end is missing out because Navi was spittin straight facts here I'm glad she put Pat in his place because Christ did he have some bad takes this episode

I'm so excited to see your reaction to this season 👍🏼🔥

Johnny is hoping that Robbie will see that he’s changed and give him a chance. He would have felt like a hypocrite if he hadn’t given Crease that same chance. Let’s hope it works out…

What ever you guys argue about, I love ya guys. Even if we don't see an eye to eye that's just how the worlds work. Most people are different and that is how the world works. Extra hugs to Navi though

25:30 - As someone who was born in 1980, I can confirm that kids are exactly the same now as they were then. Everyone whines when they lose. That has never changed. I also like how the, "this generation is coddled and soft like never before" argument gets reused every generation. It's so lazy, which is why Kreese says it. He feels like he has no place, so he ignorantly blames the "weaklings" for all of his problems because the problem couldn't possible be HIM and his attitude, which is a wonderfully illogical argument: "I'm a REAL MAN(tm) whose better than all of these snowflakes in everyway! Also, I'm completely unable to do anything to fight against them. Now pity me, and only me!" Or maybe I'm wrong, and I didn't see Kreese's ideal POTUS throw a massive temper tantrum after he lost. Who can say for sure?

Kreese is such an amazing character. from a one note bully sensei in the first movie; to one of the most entertaining character in the universe imo. can't wait for ya'll to get to s3 (my personal favorite)

You guys are gonna be blown away as each season progresses. 😂

More Cobra kai plzzz this show was so overlooked in its first and best few seasons especially at awards.

I think all of you guys had some valid points, yes I think it’s important to let kids know that you understand their emotions and feelings but on the flip side it’s also important to discipline them when necessary and explain that you do it because you love them and you want them to learn that their actions have consequences. Also I think it’s good to not get anything when you lose a competition because it’ll make the kid work harder next time and want it more.

Over the Top, such a great movie. one of my favorites

Best episode in a while...lol❤😂😅

Krease still talking about the one tournament yet forgetting Johnny went 2nd, 1st, 1st, 2nd during his tenure, that's basically Christian Laettner at Duke.

I agree, it might be dumb but I don't lick envelopes anymore because Susan died on Seinfeld 😂

I'm almost finished watching season 5, I ❤ cobra Kai so much it has amazing fighting cherography, great humor and emotional, carmen and Johnny eating tres leches cake, mmm taste so amazing and it's better then American cake👍😋🎂 btw all the original actors are on point

Did this dude say fuck miles

That guy at the hardware store is Paul Walter Hauser. He won an Emmy and Golden Globe for his role in the movie Black Bird. He will play a big part in Cobra Kai.

Oooh I knew I loved Navi that’s my favorite cake too 😂

Like some have said, Johnny would want Robby to forgive him so the reason he gave Kreese another chance is because of that (Johnny saw him as a father figure).

Before y'all get in too deep in the show. I want yall to acknowledge the fact that Demitri is Using Cobra Kai's popularity for his benefits while not being apart of the team and Consistently Bashing it & the Sensei's😂just keep it in mind

Dec 2 babies whoo!!

Ralph was in my cousin vinny! It was his cousin!

I don't know how many envelopes I've seen, but I've never seen one that puts the glue on the creases.

Let’s go just dropped On my birthday

Is there anything we can do to get these reactions more frequently bc they are giving me life

miguel didnt cheat in the fight he jus attacked his weakness what hawk did was cheating, you could say what Miguel did wasn’t honorable but that is what the whole “no mercy” mantra is all about to an extent , if it wasn’t Robby and lets say Xander made it to the final and he was the one hurt , I don’t think Johnny would’ve cared as much

Since Sam started dating Miguel She probably hanged arround Dimitri and Eli, and she was already friends with Moon and Aisha Oh and she clearly went to Cobra Kai to see Miguel, she could have just texted Aisha

Watch some movie called Over the Top and be prepared to discuss. These writers are great on so many levels. Also it’s a fun Stallone movie.

Lol, no one answered Navi correctly. Guys wear shorts over leggings otherwise you'd get VPL. Visible P Line. That's it, no other fancy reason for it. In ballet and things where you just wear tights or leggings, like gymnastics, men tend wear compression stuff below to "hide it".

Parenting is hard: Lesson learned! 👍

To be fair sam didn't push her away, she still talked and tried to hang out with her but she didn't stand up for her when she should have. Honestly the whole wanting to be cool thing is a very normal teenage thing and unlike her most only see the error in it after a much longer time

I didnt even know they're doing Cobra kai😂

IM MEXICAN AND I LOVE TRES LECHES, IM SO GLAD YALL LOVE IT TOO

yes banquet bottles!!

Hey December 2nd. Cool beans.

Robbie and Sam give me migraines lol Miguel all the way glad you guys are enjoying this show I show it to everyone I can

ooft Navi went in hard on Pat 🤣🤣

Sam never insulted anyone, she just never strongly defended them at the start, until she did against kyler and she fought kyler first because he did what he did to miguel and his friends before knowing them, and se became friends with miguel's group when she started working with him before dating him. So i don't know if you have a memory issue but yeah you're characterizing her pretty badly.....

Enter “Paul Walter Hauser”. The enigma of entertainment

30:51 my husband and I are Gen X'ers raising a transgendered paraplegic son. We try to talk to him about his feelings as often as we can, but we don't like to force things down his throat. He's 20 now and a great kid. In his third year of college. We just let him know he can talk to us. Thanks for the great reaction!

This season has some hype seasons despite the slow start. New characters are cool- Tory and Stingray! Miguel struggles to find his identity is a good storyline. Kreese outsmarting Johnny is sad, but gives Johnny great storylines. Also, yes. Every season brings back a new character.

Wait until you guys get to the Season 2 finale!😃😉👍

5:07 Navi what?😂

Wow this got heated!

This episode was the best. I’m in for the next therapy session!

In a way participation trophies been around for the longest.

"Hiyaaaaa"

let’s go start next watching tv show «Supernatural» 🙏🏻

That Johnny/Robby conversation will always piss me off. Robby was honest in his feelings and told his dad straight up that he knows he should forgive him but he's not at that stage yet. Instead of saying something like, "I understand that but just know I'll be here when your ready" or anything to make Robby knows that he cares he just shift to blaming Daniel and calling him a prick. Like are you serious? He always acts like a child and then when someone gives him that same energy he gets in his feelings. Don't be mad at Daniel for doing the job you choose not to do the majority of your life.

We would not have wanted no.participants trophy, we never really wanted the 2nd place trophy either lol

16:29 HE WAS #1!!

Miguel is W MANS

If yall watch Rambo 2 kreese is in it as a army enforcer guy an even tho Rambo fucked him up he lived so you can say it's kinda... canon....

This is Navi's show now

If you just say "no fuck you im the adult" thats how you end up with the kids simply not asking you anymore and instead just doing shit behind your back. I always find it hilarious how people say "kids are to coddled these days" as if the shit was better before when it wasn't we went from treating kids like shit or workers because your the adult to over babying them because we saw how fucked up the previous way was

Love the end discussion about parenting and all that. God willing I have kids. I think I'm going to be a great parent, I'm going to be authoritative but also caring in affectionate to their feelings and their own stages in life. Apart from when they're babies and you got to change diapers and wake up in the middle of the night, Raising a child looks fun

Pat is the indian Kreese 😂

That end discussion was hilarious. I liked that ya'll acknowledged how 4 people with no kids really don't understand parenting issues anyway 😂 I know I had some similar opinions before becoming a parent...entirely different perspective when you actually have to raise your own kid(s). It's a wild ride! You do your best and strive to be wise enough to do better whenever you realize you need to change your parenting approach. Glad you're all enjoying this show! Lots of examples of good and terrible parenting lol

Pat you have never been an adult. I think you should listen to the kid. Thank You Navi and everyone should watch the last 10 min discussion.

Pat 😂😂😂 🍰

Bro look like joe Goldberg

React on 12th fail

14:27 A lot of the conflicts in "Cobra Kai" stem from Sam LaRusso, but the show wants us to feel sorry for her. That's one of the few things about the show that I don't like. The show is too in love with her. She may not be the origin of the conflicts, but she is most definitely the catalyst - and it all happens because of her bad decisions, not because of things she can't control.

A snake hides in the grass before it makes its intentions known, but Kreese kinda did state his intent to Johnny, metaphorically at least. Kreese is brumating, he tried to sell the same ol' shtick to appeal to Johnny's ego and it failed, so then he pulled the emotional manipulation, because Kreese was still Johnny's only proper father figure. Hawk is being mean but I can't deny that Demitri is very much benefitting by proxy of Hawk's successes, he's getting all the perks without any of the work.
