PERSONAL THOUGHTS / QUESTIONS 09/28/21: So the new "trailer" might only be a new "teaser", since it's only about a minute long. But they showed quite a few things. One scene (when you re-play it in slo-mo) is a spiky-haired student picking on a new character at school - could that be Hawk back to his old ways (after all, he has become a bully as well)? Perhaps turning back was a ruse. Only time will tell. I think fans are anticipating hilarious conflicts or rapport between Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang. Joe Seo's natural acting is a reason why Kyler is so despicable, threatening / scary - almost as if you'd think the actor himself is like that. I'm mainly hoping for a brief backstory on why he is the way he is, even if it's just a scene or two. I also get the feeling that he might get DQ'd sometime in the tournament. 09/27/21: Dec. 31 - in addition to having to wait until the end of the year, we'll have to wait until the very last day of the year. Fortunately, some of us have other shows / films to look forward to before that ("Cowboy Bebop" for one). The new trailer looks bad-ass, although I'm not sure if it's the official trailer. Perhaps there might be another one. 08/05/21: A December release? A bit disappointed - we have to wait until the end of the year. I thought "honeycrisp season" might have referred to the release date, but most likely the official trailer. December is Winter season isn't it. I wish October was in the realm of possibility. Teasers are teasers - they don't show much but just advertise. Although I was a bit underwhelmed by it, it did its job as far as hype is concerned. Hopefully they can show a bit more with more teasers, since fans have to wait until the end of the year. 06/21/21:
05/27/21: Here Comes The Pain A teaser for Terry Silver's return was just released - what a treat for fans. Hope there is more. "The Karate Kid Part III" is considered an awful entry - cartoonish villains, sketchy script, etc. For some reason, Silver and Barnes were fan favorites. They were devilishly evil. Mike Barnes' return is inevitable at some point. 04/30/21: S4 has wrapped today - it's going to take awhile in terms of post-production work. We just hope we'll be surprised with bits of spoilers or even a teaser by summer. Also - I wish they would consider releasing a few episodes every other week or two episodes at a time kind of deal. Or at least trying that out for one season. That way, they might be able to release it earlier and it'll get fans excited even more. 04/11/21: Sorry, Joe and Xolo - Five Guys burgers are the burgers to beat. I used to go on burger runs, pizza runs, etc. Not at 2 AM though. They might hang out off camera, but all bets are off when the cameras are rolling. I heard filming is going to wrap up this week. I hope S4 isn't as secretive as S3 - considering how long fans had to wait. 02/04/21: The "More Than Miyagi" film - this is definitely a must-see if available on other platforms or VOD at some point. It looks at Pat Morita's career (other than his most famous role of "Mr. Miyagi"), and highlights them. Most newbies would not know that Pat was a comedian/comic before becoming known for the iconic character. I'm certain he has played a few dramatic roles here and there as well. For new and old "Karate Kid" fans, this is a must-see. 01/22/21: Production has begun for S4 - and I'm sure fans are already asking about it. The hype or the anticipation has begun again - it'll be a year they say (it takes a month or two for filming, a few months for post-production /editing, etc). A few of my questions / inquiries: Kyler appears to be returning (they set him up as he joined Cobar Kai in after S6 - he does not appear until then). Is he going to take it up a notch with some added Cobra Kai skills, and finally win a fight for once? The All-Valley tournament is expected - what is going to happen in terms of leading up to it? Who else is going to appear in terms of past KK characters? Silver / Barnes has everyone talking for now Is Stingray going to appear - perhaps back to his Lowes day job after serving time haha Let the speculations begin. 01/10/21: If S2's nostalgic moment of the season is "Take a Right", then S3's "Feeling the Night" is this season's (well, S10 as well with the trio reuniting). Since "Cobra Kai" is mostly about Johnny's story or perspective, I'm sure fans would want to see Johnny and Ali getting back together. From what others having been saying, the reunion was just meant to bring closure or resolution to the rivalry. But who knows what future seasons are going to hold. My favorites: E4, E5, E9 and E10. 01/05/21: With spoilers already out, why not begin now: Some S3 Notables (perhaps more to come): Johnny interrupts Bobby's sermon with a hearty "bullshit" haha The letter-reading in Okinawa of Miyagi's final letter Chozen honking Daniel, and then laughing about it Okinawa story-arc in E4 and E5 - scenery and everything Johnny / Ali reunion in E9 Demetri / Yasmine smooching The "binary brothers" are back (to my disappointment and for some as well - the rivalry was just getting juicy). The final fight reminiscent of the school fight in E10 (Kyler got his beatdown in, but then gets surprised - I would like to think that Kyler underestimated the recovering Miguel). What I hope to see in S4 or future seasons: Chozen returning Some kind of back story for Kyler - why is he such a bully (I mean, an ultra-bully with no redeeming qualities it appears) The return of KK3 villains - Terry Silver, Mike Barnes or both are possible. Most are already assuming that it is Silver who Kreese called at the end of S10. 01/03/21: Finished - E9 and E10. Just watch them, and re-watch them. I'll provide more complete thoughts sometime next week - I think most if not all might have seen the entire season by then. I'll also give or provide what I hope to see for Season 4 or the seasons beyond as well. The show is infused with comedy / humor, action and drama / nostalgia from the "Karate Kid" films. By now, I am familiar with or use to the type of "no-holds-barred", irreverant humor from the Big Three (the "Harold and Kumar" films show that type of humor to begin with). 01/02/21: I got up to E7 and counting. All I could say is - it is worth the hype (especially, E4 - E6). Funny as usual - I can only surmise that it'll get more intense from here. I'll wait at least a few more days to reveal more specific thoughts as well. Here are some minor tidbits for now: At least we know the whereabouts of Stingray haha Double-dip - that plump landlord likez-eh it (something that he likes) haha 12/31/20: S3 begins tomorrow - get yer crane kick on! 12/24/20: What a Christmas Eve surprise - it has been confirmed that the new release for Season 3 is New Year's Day. Cobra Kai / Karate Kid fans rejoice! I checked out the "Reunited Apart" (BTTF and The Goonies also recommended). It's nostalgia galore, and re-enacting certain scenes in character are always the highlights of it. The only issue with this - not everyone is given the chance to say much (if anything at all). That's what happens when you try to cram as many actors in an episode as possible. 12/19/20: Yuji Okumoto interview: httpss://ew.com/tv/cobra-kai-yuji-okumoto-season-3 Oh - and stop by Kona Kitchen. I know I liked it haha. 12/16/20: Apparently, Netflix is keeping S3 release secretive at this point. All hell is going to break loose if the release is delayed or pushed back. Netflix - don't you dare. Haha. 12/13/20: I decided to create this web fan page, since I found myself blogging about the new Cobra Kai S3 trailer often (and with a lot more thoughts / questions). Ok, let's let it out. Here are a few for me: The aftermath of the school fight at the end of S2. I don't expect full realism, but at the same time - I do hope that all the participants of the school fight are punished in some way. The instigators of the fight jailed or expelled / suspended for sure. In reality - the fight would not have lasted that long for sure (or lasted at all). It would have been stopped either by students, or security / police that come over right after somebody calls. I have a sinking feeling however, that the instigators will get away somehow. The controversial scene of Hawk literally beating the crap out of someone or something. From the trailer however, the consensus says that it is Kyler that is being beaten. Kyler returns in S3, but how for how long? We know that he was an ultra-bully in the first season, but he already got his ass kicked by Diaz after he was taught the ways / mastered it. It might be true - if it is, we hope there is a story arc for him at least as compensation. We all know that bullies get the come-around eventually. Well, he was brought back at least. |
