Let’s be very honest. Cobra Kai It’s a popular series, but also very mediocre because its plot can be a bit silly and its argument is not so justified. Yes, what was a joke in How I Met Your Mother went too far and they knew how to capitalize on that, especially because Johnny Lawrence became an endearing character.
But on the other hand, Daniel Larusso is a pain in the crotch, he is everything that is wrong with political correctness and he is usually very pedantic. Only when this character played by Ralph Macchio is no longer tied down, he becomes halfway interesting. Now, Cobra Kai It’s about the new generation of martial arts students, but its jokes are already running out.
How well season 5 closed and everything that was created around revenge, lies and also redemption made many expect good things from season 6 of Cobra Kaibut let’s say the writers were in an endless loop where they got stuck and didn’t know what to do anymore. Sure, the idea of the Sekai Taikai was the justification to continue with the story, but something happens on the way to this event.
The first part of the sixth season of Cobra Kai And we can already draw many conclusions, many of which are not encouraging enough to say that what will come will not be entirely predictable.

Cobra Kai: Season 6 Part I Was It Worth It?
A single dojo
The closure of Cobra Kai As a dojo, Terry Silver being put in jail and John Kreese escaping was really worthy of the show. The thing is that on the other side, Eagle Fang and Miyagi Do Karate had to become one so they could go to Sekai Takai. The development of the unification of both groups and the union of friendships that were broken was very good, because it also exposed the conflict that Johnny and Daniel had to overcome in some way.
Now, on one hand we have internal competition and on the other the construction of a new Cobra Kai in which John Kreese goes to see his old teacher in Korea. This is a very entertaining absurdity, because somehow, the old teacher who mistreated Kreese when he was young is still alive and feeds John’s competitive spirit, who is also not pursued by American justice.
The way Johnny has to learn the Miyagi way is very good, because technically he is growing very fast and every day he is much more mature. Of course, all under the ridicule of a television series and being constantly trapped in the 80’s. On the other hand, Daniel Larusso is still clinging to Karate, but he does it in a very hypocritical way, because he follows his master’s path to the letter, but he also clings to a way of thinking that is perhaps already outdated.
It is there, dear reader of TierraGamer, when Johnny and Daniel show that more than 30 years later, they may be trapped in an era that they cannot let go of. Yes, each one takes small steps in a direction to become better people, but it will be inevitable that they fail and have to learn to reflect and forgive. Sometimes it works out well and other times it is the opposite, especially because they both have the same temperament.
Johnny Lawrence and his evolution, leaving Daniel behind
The great thing about Cobra Kai Johnny Lawrence does mature and evolve, but with the typical GI Joe, Rocky, Rambo and Top Gun message from the 80’s where it was okay to be very macho and ultra-patriotic. There is even an episode where he constantly says that “girls are easy”, but in the sense that they are easier to understand than a man. At least the result of this was that Tory and Samantha became closer friends, although it didn’t last long.
It is clear that Johnny Lawrence really wants to be better, even if he has to break his dogmas. But be careful, he does this because he understood that he has a responsibility to his girlfriend and his students. With the passing of each season we can say that William Zabka’s character never gives up and despite all the setbacks, he keeps going.
On the other hand, we have Daniel Larusso, who likes to be in control of everything and feels he has all the moral authority to influence everyone. The problem is that the script destroys Mr. Miyagi, turning him into a kind of criminal. This breaks our Karate Kid’s heart, but instead of understanding that his master kept this as a reminder that “nobody is perfect,” he prefers to have an internal affront of “I was lied to.”
The way these characters develop is suitable for a comedy television series with a high dose of action and adventure. If we demand that it be a much more thinking object, we really won’t get anywhere. It’s not a drama either, it’s something more focused on entertainment and that’s how this production should live. Demanding much more of it would be a waste of time.
Sensei Kreese the immortal
Cobra Kai follows the precept of the Sith: there must always be a master and a student, only let’s say that the master in Cobra Kai His students don’t last long or they end up abandoning him. But somehow he comes back like the great villains of film and television. Of course, his “plot armor” is still clear and for that reason nothing stops him.
His return in the series is like a slap in the face to the United States penal system because even though he was imprisoned and escaped, he later returned to teaching, continuing to teach Karate in his own way and manipulating everyone around him. It is not very clear if he comes and goes without impediments between Korea and the United States, but if so, he really is a broken character.
But that’s the joke of this antagonist. He wants revenge. It was free for him that Larusso and Lawrence got rid of Terry Silver. Now he’s halfway done with his job, he just had to finish it to be able to attend the Sekai Taikai. The thing is that all this costs him getting bitten by a cobra, seeing his old and grumpy teacher again and fighting against the current again.
Whatever it is about each one, it is these absurd and ridiculous details that feed the series and make it entertaining. Even, it seems that the only person who is consistent in everything Cobra Kai She is Daniel Larusso’s wife, this is because she really puts a stop to everyone when they start to fail when they lock themselves in their world of 80’s movies.
Cobra Kai: Season 6 showed us a bigger betrayal than Judas’s of Jesus
Cobra Kai has one of the worst side changes in television history and it’s that of Tory Nichols, who is played by Payton List. While he manages to make peace with Samantha, he ends up grieving over the death of his mother and she is the only reason he continues to fight and earn a place on the Miyagi Do team for the Sekai Taikai.
Sure, the duel between Tory and Samantha gets very aggressive because of Tory’s feelings, but it was a justified motivation anyway. When Daniel finds out, he stops them. And even though Tory wants to keep fighting and Johnny even says to keep going because he can take responsibility, they end up stopping her. This causes her to join in. Cobra Kai just because.
It is never explained how she meets John Kreese again or how she was chosen again. There is still time to find out what will happen when the second part of season 6 of Cobra Kaibut in the meantime, we have a huge plot hole that needs to be resolved.
Yes, the series ends with a huge cliffhanger and that’s “okay”, however, the quality of the acting is really poor, the script is too simple and no real risks are taken. Come on, the series doesn’t need to do anything more, but it also needs to try to be much more creative. Let’s not even talk about Xolo Maridueña or Tanner Buchanan because their stories in the series are one-dimensional and too predictable. I hope they change.
