Ex-Degenerate

When this first aired, I had no idea just how much it would evolve the original story and immortalize it now and forever.

Everyone finally got their moment that we wanted for them since ep 1. It hit every note and then some.

It not only respected the source Material, it elevated it beyond anything I could Ever predict.

I laughed, cried and cheered for every character.

To see the villains get humanized, but not so much that it waters them down, no, we get to see both sides of how they are.

Even the great Terry finally is unmasked in his own way.

Kreese's arc was something that just blew me away. It was earned and handled with such class. I cried. My lord did I cry.

The way Daniel faces his PTSD The way Johnny finds himself.

And so on.

This has been quite the journey for all. And it's great to see a show land on its feet with a perfect landing.

This is how you write a sequel and show. We will never have anything like it again.

It will make you appreciate the older films so much more. The nuances they brought out from one note characters and turned them into humans. It was such a sight.

We take our last bow now. But as always, COBRA KAI NEVER DIES.

Cobra Kai never dies.

My gosh, was this a near perfect episode. I felt extreme tension for the last fight. Even before it started, you felt scared for the character. You felt scared for them. The tension was really there. It was such an edge of seat experience the entire fight. That was if you were in your seat, I was cheering and jumping around. The training scene could of been longer but was absolutely awesome, and some of the endings could of been better. Did feel a bit rushed, but the main part of the episode just felt so eerie. I felt scared, for the first time in Cobra Kai history, the audience felt on edge.

We feared. We were afraid. But, Pain Does not Exist in this dojo. Cobra Kai never dies.

I'm really stunned by how they managed to end everything in the right way. Certain things needed to happen but ordinarily they would have been repetitive and predictable. So, they took on a different path. They let the logical progress of the story continue its way. Then, the necessary events were added as amazing twists.

The fights happening in the last two episodes were what everyone was waiting for. How they led us there was really well-thought. In the end everyone got what they deserved in the best way possible. I liked how the focus of the last five episodes was just on the main characters. Although, I do wish there wasn't such a big gap between the release of the episodes of the final season. That lowered the tension and excitement a little bit.

I've loved this show since the very first episode and have enjoyed it for the last seven years. It was a fresh idea back when it started and made its mark in television. The final episode of season 2 will always be my favorite and among the best I have ever seen. Although, the final two episodes were as brilliant. I'm gonna miss this show. I admit the show had its ups and downs and through seasons 4 and 5 the downs were more than the ups. But in the end everything was put to justice, by order of Cobra Kai.

This show has been engaging non stop ever since I first watched with my dad back in 2018 when I was a kid. The Karate Kid movies were some of the best movies that our family would watch during movie nights, and The Karate Kid movie with Jaden Smith was not as good but definitely not a bad movie. The last few episodes of this show really hits you in how the fact that all of the teenagers grew up, and the emotion that they showed and even the adults were real and not just in character. While I was watching and they would have call backs to the first few seasons it made me picture myself as a kid first watching it and it's insane how much I've grown since. It's sad to see this go but the ending was perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.

Without spoiling anything, this was a perfect ending to what has to be one of the best ever spinoffs to a great movie franchise.

As a millennial it ticked all of the boxes I wanted, great homages to its history, awesome music choices and really heartfelt story.

I wish this show could continue forever but this was a perfect ending to an amazing series. The growth of Jonny as a character is amazing and could be seen on full display in the episode.

Only downside for me was some of the not so prominent characters could have had some closure to their stories but I understand that the main story had to be the priority and as already mentioned this was done brilliantly well.
