It's sort of unrealistic how FAST all these kids became karate stars, right? Like one episode they don't know any karate, two episodes later they are the best karate doers who ever lived?

Also, it seems unrealistic to me that either Johnny or Larusso would still be as good at karate now as they were when they were teenagers. Doesn't seem like either has been practicing. As someone in my late 40s, I don't think you can just snap your fingers and remember everything you learned as an athlete as a kid.

BUT I LOVE THE SHOW.

You are right about the karate skills, but this is The Karate Kid Universe where Daniel and Johnny are the antiheroes and we love it.

Seriously? She's 12, not 7. Loosen up.

My husband said (about Johnny) "there is no way someone who drinks like he supposedly does is as fit as he is"

My husband got me hooked on this. I’ve only seen Karate Kid once so I don’t have the nostalgia feeling. It’s just good. I don’t like Larusso! Team Cobra Kai

I work in an industry with a ton of blue collar guys who lift in the morning, work hard all day and then drink at night. They all have that look right down to the puffy face. They stay in shape until about 50 and then go downhill fast.

Zabka looks really good. Love the story (for the most part). Love Macchio, as always. Great nostalgia and a bit of an update for the youngsters. The Cobra Kai reunion was heartbreaking, esp in light of real events.

And Johnny's one-liners are THE BEST. And when he gets his computer hooked to the internet . . . . LOL. "Hasbrown Cobra Kai." LOL. I think the story of him v. Larusso from his perspective changes how you view Larusso in Karate Kid. And Larusso comes off as a DB in this show. #TeamJohnny

And, yes, every time that Cobra flashed at the end, I say in my best sinister voice: "Cobra Kaaaaaaaaaaiiiiii."

I’m so crushing on Johnny. It’s a bit ridiculous, but I am 😍

Join the club. That’s why all the moms watch this shit with their kids. They fantasize about a Johnny to get a break from their dorky little husbands burping and farting with their stinky feet up on the ottoman.

Tell him “yes there is a way. He does karate and handyman work. Not like you who rolls from one side of the couch to the other and thinks it is exercise.”

you have no idea what my husband does/how he exercises

unfortunately, he does know drinkers, and they do not resemble Johnny in their 50s

Yo, just binged S1. It is waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy funnier than I was expecting.

I liked it but don’t think it’s great for kids/teens. The drinking and balancing on stools and violence in season 2 was a bit much.
