#eagle fang

[rockerandauthor]

After watching all of Cobra Kai, I think we all need to make a petition for Jacob Bertrand to play more sad boy and mean boy roles! He just does such a good fucking job; it scratches an itch in my brain so well.

[nymoshopper]

Okay, what are the chances that this idiot thought of "Eagle Fang", because Eagles eat snakes (what would be a reference to a rivalry between Cobra Kai) or simply because of King Kobra's music?

[issa-wasteland]

A small detail but Daniel wore blue and red throughout the season. He wore purple during his last fight with Terry and he used terry's technique that was used for offense, but he flips it to defense and then he ends it off with a crane kick. Does it mean that Daniel has come full circle in his life? I mean this season he was happy, angry, frustrated, sad, defeated, and in the end he is overwhelmed with joy and love from his friends and family.....

why does nobody write about dilf daniel larusso on here 😔

[keene-defender]

Buckle up, this is going to be a long one.

The first aspect of Robby’s arc that I was dissatisfied with was the fact that he was the one running around doing all the grovelling. I saw another post refer to it as an “apology tour” on here and that’s exactly what it was.

The show seems to be trying to establish a theme of taking personal responsibility and has been doing so for a while, yet it undermined its own attempt at this by keeping things very one-sided since Robby has been the only one doing the apologising. At least among the teens. It paints the other characters in a positive light and makes Robby out to be the bad guy. We get an insight into their point of view on things, but not Robby’s and this actually contradicts the show’s own premise of exploring the grey areas. It’s a very black and white approach. This theme and message of taking accountability would have been FAR more effective if they had every character acknowledging and taking accountability for their wrongdoings. It’s why I wanted to see Miguel and Robby resolving things by actually sitting down and having a fkn conversation for the first time and discussing both points of view, rather than a “rematch”. (My reservations about that fight will be discussed in another post). That could have been actually very interesting and cathartic for not only both characters, but both fan bases.

Let’s now look at who Robby apologised to :

Miguel

Of course, Robby owed Miguel a huge apology. Him kicking Miguel over the balcony nearly cost Miguel his life. And I liked his apology and enjoyed the fact that he took accountability for it. It was very heartfelt.

Did Miguel deserve what happened to him ? NO. Absolutely not. I want to make that very clear. However, there’s a difference between deserving what happened to you and playing a part in what happened to you, and Miguel DID play a part in his own downfall. He essentially started the rivalry between him and Robby at the beach in S1 and doubled down on that with his actions at the tournament. He explicitly escalated the school fight into a full on brawl by attacking Robby who was just trying to break it up and proceeded to taunt Robby about the major insecurities in his life. He decided to stop fighting and “show mercy” but how was Robby to know he was being shown mercy from the guy with a history of aggression against him, who attacked him on site moments earlier? And I’m not condoning what Robby did, but he’s not solely to blame for what happened which is something the writers seem to be ok with blatantly overlooking.

What frustrates me is that Miguel’s part in things is never acknowledged and the one instance that it was (when Robby explained Miguel attacking him to Johnny in S4), it’s quickly cast aside by Johnny saying “look, I wasn’t there”. Nobody has ever asked Robby (or Miguel for that matter) how the fight between the two of them at the school actually started. How is it that Kreese is the only one who was aware that Miguel attacked Robby ? I would have liked Miguel to have at least acknowledged his part in things if not apologise, because his actions were very significant in contributing to what happened. Instead the narrative and characters paint him as completely innocent and I can understand why Robby fans are feeling frustrated with that.

Hawk

Robby owed hawk an apology for shaving his Mohawk and he gave said apology. And that’s about it. Hawk on the other hand has never really taken accountability or faced any real repercussions for his actions. The one thing he has done is expressed some remorse to Demetri in S4 about becoming an asshole thanks to cobra Kai, so I found it very contradictory when Hawk got offended for being called out by Robby. Did Hawk really think he had a leg to stand on there ? No matter how much he didn’t like Robby, Robby was 100% right, Hawk has undeniably been the worst asshole of the teens while being part of cobra Kai. I’m glad Robby called him out for attacking him, Sam and Demetri at the mall, trashing the dojo and stealing the medal of honour and snapping Demetri’s arm. The one other thing I wish Robby had mentioned was the fact that Hawk dislocated Robby’s shoulder in S1. That seems like a big one and I was surprised Robby left that out. Part of me wonders if the writers neglected to have Robby mention that because there’s nothing Hawk could have done other than apologise for it if it was mentioned and given that they seem to want to make Robby out as the bad guy and skew the narrative towards anybody but him, Hawk apologising would go against their agenda. But Hawk should also have apologised and that would have actually made more sense for his arc of progressing in and bettering himself as part of Miyagi-do. The only aspect of Miyagi-do that hawk seems to be taking on is the fighting side of it, but in terms of its philosophies and life applications I’m not seeing it yet.

Daniel

I’ll give Daniel credit, he apologised to Robby in S3 for failing him and reiterated in S5 that he was only ever trying to help Robby. Despite messing up, Daniel’s the closest thing that Robby has had to a functional father figure and I will die on that hill. What I didn’t like about Robby’s apology to Daniel was it starting with him saying “you didn’t fail me”. That is categorically untrue, Daniel DID fail Robby by discarding him twice the moment he made a mistakes, thus breaking Robby’s trust in him. The way Robby then goes on to emphasise, “no, I’m sorry” when Daniel looks like he’s going to apologise again is frustrating, as if Daniel had nothing to apologise for. It leaves out a whole lot of context as to why Robby was pushed towards Cobra Kai in the first place. Again, Daniel discarded Robby at the first sign of mistakes, and in Robby’s mind, Daniel getting him sent to juvie was just another instance of Robby being discarded for making the biggest mistake of his life. Daniel had a hand in pushing Robby to join Cobra Kai and did fail him many times. The writers could have had Daniel and Robby make mutual apologies to each other without Robby standing there and absolving Daniel of any blame. This would have been far more meaningful given their relationship and history. It would have been far more healing for both of them.

Some side notes :

This was a very adult-centred season. I enjoyed the adult arcs a lot (especially Chozen, he’s my favourite apart from Robby) but the downside of this was that the teen arcs suffered. Robby and Sam had a whole lot of history to unravel and talk through, yet they had very limited dialogue and interaction with each other. One of the most enjoyable aspects for me this season was Sam’s individual arc, yet the ONE thing that frustrated me was that she STILL hasn’t actually apologised for cheating on Robby. And actually, Miguel hasn’t actually apologised to Tory for cheating on her either.

Sam and Tory’s alliance, though it’s something I’ve wanted to see for a long time, was rushed. They came together to defeat a common enemy and seemed to have more of an understanding of each other. However these two had a lot of apologies to make to each other and discussions to have as well and accountability to take - but that didn’t happen.

It seems that all of the other characters have their wrongdoings overlooked and an emphasis placed on the things they do right / how much they have suffered. It’s the complete opposite for Robby and this is why I’m angry.

[hawkmothmoon]

Let’s get into the Cobra Kai art! Here’s a painting of Johnny that I did.

[notbadweird]

The worst part about it being the last season of Cobra Kai is if Hayden breaks up Keenry, we can’t riot and say “I’M NEVER WATCHING CK AGAIN” cause it’s the last damn season and we literally can’t watch it again to the point where it’s actually damaging to the viewer numbers cause it’s ending and they don’t need to rely on those numbers anymore. Fuck🫠

on her shirt.

Tory:Yeah...why?

Y/n:... umm, here. "gives tory the shirt and walks off"

Tory:Thank you. I don't k-". Where did she go."

".tory asks herself."

Y/n ran off

Tory follows you but thinks of her class and runs back to Cobra kai

Y/n goes to myagi-do karate, and you try to stay quiet about running into someone from Cobra kai, but eventually, you tell your sensei, Daniel larusso, and he is worried, but tells you not to be worried.

(The next day)

Y/n is running, again, although you run slightly

faster than yesterday, so the cobra kai students

won't see you especially tory

Tory: Hey! Are you afraid that you will spill more

sparkling water on me.... HEY!...I'm talking to

you

Y/n....

Tory catches up to you and taps you on the back, not too hard, but hard enough to get your attention

Y/n: What!.... I don't know what you want from me....and if you wanna be a Cobra kai bully fine... but leave me alone.

Tory: ohh so this is what this is about... I see, oh and let me guess... you're in myagi-do? Yeah, I see. Well, I was hoping we could be friends... but I see now... that we can't be.

Y/n: yea.. so .... you go back to Cobra kai and... do whatever, I..idk and idc

Reaching out to see if anyone else has a strong desire to write Cobra Kai stuff. If you’re in the same boat as I am, Dm me. I’ve got a few questions for you. Only requirements I have are: be at least 18+ irl, literate, open and creative! 

[issa-wasteland]

Honestly, the writers should give us a short clip where chozen and johnny welcome Mike to the "Got defeated by a small Italian twink and changed my life" club. They start going back and forth of who did the worst to Daniel before they all agree that they were wrong and also agree that Daniel was a pain in their ass.

Them talking about Daniel:

Right before Daniel comes across their little circle and could take a deep breathe watching all his former enemies are now his friends. The friends he never really had cause he only had business associates and his family to be around with.

[datrie]

on my knees for someone to roleplay cobra kai with oml please please please 🙈

[keene-defender]

Another scene that annoyed me in S5 - Johnny declaring to Robby in Ep 1 that he went looking for Robby with Daniel in S3, yet failing to mention that he bailed as usual the minute things got difficult and when he heard Miguel was awake. Johnny gave up. I can understand wanting to see Miguel after he woke up, but the fact of the matter is that Johnny knew Miguel was somewhere safe and now awake. Johnny also knew that Robby was out on the streets all alone and in an unsafe situation, yet he abandoned the search for his son because seeing Miguel was more important. Surely his priority should have been to secure Robby’s safety and then see Miguel in the knowledge that both boys were in better and safer situations. Even after he’s seen Miguel for the first time since he woke up in S3 there’s then no desire exhibited from Johnny to resume his search for his son. It’s as if he’s completely forgotten about Robby now that Miguel is awake.

Then Robby’s “I had no idea” as if Johnny actually did something for him. Ugh. I wish that Robby had asked Johnny why Daniel was alone when he found him with Shannon if Johnny went on the search with Daniel. Johnny would have been forced to admit he abandoned his search for Robby in favour of seeing Miguel. Of course though, the writers are determined to leave out important context so that they can narratively frame Johnny in a better light as a father.

The reality is, to Robby, Johnny is still as shitty a father as ever, even though I did like some of the bonding scenes between them. Johnny’s never done anything for Robby where Robby is the primary focus. Robby and Johnny’s first “father and son trip” consisted of Johnny dragging robby to Mexico under false pretences and placing him in danger to find the kid that he’s been prioritising over Robby since S1. The fact that people are praising Johnny for becoming a better father figure is completely insane to me.
