Johnny getting back to form

[Steve_Holt_ · 9/10 · 1 January 2022]

Johnny starting up a dojo again is excellent. Exactly what needs to be happening. I think we all know where it's headed, and if that's right, I love it. Also loved the Facebook set up project Johnny and Miguel got into.

Eagle fang karate has got to be the worst name ever. Totally hilarious, so I can't wait to see where that goes.

Now I'm just waiting for when Kreese gets put in his place. Hopefully that doesn't get too drug out.

Johnny 💯

I love Johnny in this episode, he's finally getting back to where he was in season 2, gotta love his enthusiasm. Decent acting and a fun storyline.

Oh Come On!

I can buy that Johnny doesn't understand technology in the last 30 years. Barely But he thinks that a mongoose isn't a real animal? Has he been taking dumb pills for 30 years? It's almost as bad as Johnny not understanding the phrase "drinking the Kool-Aid".

Other than that, which is the writers still showing Johnny as a butt-monkey, the rest is okay. Daniel helps Sam get over her PTSD with a pep talk and a little Miyagi advice. Yasmine softens up a bit. Mariduyena... reacts, but he's good at that. As is his training montage with Johnny at the beginning. Amanda doesn't have much to do. Robby is still MIA for now two episodes in a row. Hawk looks like he's having his second thoughts, but still continue to be a jerk.

We don't get any more Vietnam flashbacks to Young Kreese. But Kove does get a scene with Johnny, insisting that he cares about his students while still teaching them toxic attitudes. Whether that's an improvement or not, your mileage may vary. I prefer Kreese as he is here, as a bad guy with hints of humanity. Rather than the whole-out flashbacks that attempt to make us sympathize with him as something more than a three-dimensional villain. As a three-dimensional villain, Kreese is fine.

So nothing bad about the episode. And there are a few good moments. Johnny's unfamiliarity with mongooses may be unbelievable, but Zabka at least sells it as he does all of Johnny's "stupid" moments. And his 80s attitude. And I like his chemistry with Mariduena.

But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong. What do you think?

Eagle fang karate

I mean its got a kick to it but I'm still team cobra kai even though they are a bunch of Tw*ts if this was real life I would be in cobra kai but id be much nicer. Anyway as the Mcdonalds slogan says I'm loving it, its not as good as episode 5 and 6 but its still good episode over all

"Everything changed, sensei."

The episode starts with a training sequence with Miguel gaining new power to get back to fighting. After that Miguel can finally walk without wheelchair or other helping stuff so they throw it away. Great scene, that made me laugh.

Miguel's back at school and learns about the big conflict grew during his time at the hospital. He finds out about the cruel things his old friends at Cobra Kai did to his friends at Miyagido. John goes to school to speak to his old students, he tries to win them back for his new dojo in the park.

Meanwhile Sam has panic attacks and her father tries to help her, getting her back to karate. It succeeds.

The first training of Lawrence new dojo starts but surprise! Kreese comes to the party witch his army of cobra kai soldiers.

The fight may begin!

Humorous episode!

[mm-39 · 7/10 · 19 January 2022]

Humorous episode! Humorous episode and the Johnny character driven. What works is the quicker with lots of faults Johnny tires create Eagle fang Karate! There is Johnny's style of dating. Funny but flawed. The more serious Laurzzo father and daughter relationship balances out the episode. Well acted and directed Obstaculos is a break for the Karate and a humor break! 7 stars.
