Like it is just crazy that we had to watch an entire scene of Johnny apologizing to Miguel, saying he’s sorry he hasn’t been there for Miguel, that he thought Robby needed him more but that Miguel Johnny’s son too, when there were absolutely zero scenes of Johnny supporting Robby in anyway at all. And meanwhile Robby feels so alone and defeated because no one has been there for him or supported him, not even his dad, that it drives him, the son of addicts who has sworn off alcohol, to get absolutely wasted.
I am on my knees crying begging and pleading with these writers to leave Robby alone
and kreese NOT wrong for telling tory miyagi-do/sam is not her friend.
girly had a breakdown and left miyagi do, her supposed friend, her boyfriend and none of the ADULTS (amanda, johnny) IM LOOKING AT YOU🫵
didn’t follow her out, sam and robby got they fuck ass headbands and made it seem like they didn’t give a fuck about tory at all. listen, if i was tory i would’ve said a massive ‘fuck you and go to hell’ to alllll of em!!
of course kreese trying to make her forget about them, he’s a manipulator, it’s what he does. i definitely do think he said some wrong things in that conversation with her, but for some of it he had a point.
sue me. 🤷♀️
They hate me for my crimes of being right.
tory really watched her mum die in front of her, few months/ weeks later her teammate died in front of her???
GIVE HER A BREAK!
atp she needs a damn blunt cs wtf !!
maddie will never be able to have any pictures with wally, charley and rhonda, all she’ll have of them is their yearbook pictures
The season hasn’t even come out yet and I am already number one Tory apologist. Babygirl they could never make me hate you I can’t wait to see you commit atrocities get behind me
I'm going to be soo honest with you gang, whenever nicole and xavier's relationship is highlighted in any way shape or form I DO start yawning. like I'm sorry but I really don't give a singular fuck about them talking online to people but oh lol wait it's actually each other!! either make nicole and claire gay for each other or get out of my face.

the problem with making axel and zara too overpowered (OP) in part 2 of cobra kai.
going into part 2 my biggest worry was that they were going to make axel and zara too OP- like never losing a fight in the tournament, and unfortunately that’s exactly what happened.
the issue with making them too OP is that it messes with the balance of our existing characters. when you introduce new characters and have them win every fight without losing not even one it cheapens the tournament and it also screws over our existing characters.
axel and zara could have been strong, shown as threatening without the need to make them bulldoze throughout all of their matches.
by never letting them lose, it sets up absolute annoying and ridiculous discourse like this:
‘it doesn’t make sense for this person to beat this person’
‘they were nerfed’
‘they only won because of plot armour’
and let’s be honest. the ‘plot armour’ discourse is fucking stupid. every character in the show has plot to some extent. if they didn’t, they wouldn’t have made it this far in the show. but also, why would they have 2 characters who were introduced in part 2 of the last season win over sam, miguel and robby who have been here since season 1 and tory who has been here since season 2. that literally wouldn’t make any sense.
moving on, if our existing characters had lost to the new characters that wouldn’t been fine. like that is not the issue here. the issue is that axel and zara completely dominated the tournament. it should have been balanced.
axel and zara should have been shown to be beatable by actually losing matches in the tournament. and if the writers didn’t want them losing matches, the least they could’ve down was allow them to take hits in their matches. here’s how:
1. zara vs another competitor in different dojo (like tiger strike or redentores) in an early round OR vs tory or sam | let zara lose a match to one of them but come back stronger later in the tournament, showing she can adapt easy from a loss.
2. axel vs competitor | have axel lose a match against the competitor in a very close match, only after giving the person he is fighting against a really tough time, pushing his competitor to his limits.
3. injures and exhaustion playing a role here | show them both struggling with fatigue, and having minor injuries, proving that they aren’t fucking invincible and the tournament is tough for everyone involved.
but instead, we got axel and zara just bulldozing their way through the tournament like it was nothing. the big brawl too. in the big brawl, no one landed a hit on axel. zara beat tory in the opening fight with cobra kai vs iron dragons and in the big brawl tory only managed to land one kick on zara before zara regained control. it’s sooo frustrating that they were made out to be so untouchable and invincible.
what makes this worse is learning that choreography was cut that actually showed them both taking hits. i’ve posted this on my blog here a bit ago but there was choreo cut in which tory was getting the upper hand on zara but that didn’t make the cut.
zara was also supposed to take hits in the semi finals against maria. this comes from the woman who plays maria (jewels) in an interview on youtube.
and axel was also meant to take hits from kwon in the big brawl. this also came from an interview with brandon who plays kwon.
like.. that’s still not ideal but it’s at least better than making them untouchable.
this has been sitting in my drafts for a while now and i’m posting this ahead of part 3 since that drops in a few days, also the fact that we know someone is gonna be beating axel and zara in the sekai taikai.
i can’t believe i have to sit through ‘axel/zara was nerfed’ and ‘it doesn’t make sense for zara/axel to loose to..’ ‘… beating axel/zara is unrealistic’
like dude cobra kai was never a realistic show in the first place, don’t piss me off. ‘in reality this character would win’ no shit dude. like that argument is so stupid and irrelevant. like thank you so much for pointing out the obvious ??
as if those people who say this aren’t insufferable enough they’re gonna be even more insufferable now that they’ve basically been given the ammo to say all of this shit.
like i’m truly so annoyed about it, but hey. what can you doooo?
cobra kai writers you had ONE JOB! ONE!
big big sigh.
