Cobra Kai settles every dispute with karate, and fans can't help but laugh about it
With scenes such as teachers tasking students to jump across rooftops (https://www.looper.com/913475/the-cobra-kai-season-4-scene-fans-agree-was-out-of-character-for-johnny/) with a few used mattresses as the only safety measure taken, fans have accepted that the level of realism in "Cobra Kai" is minimal, and they're happy for it to be that way. Redditor u/YueAsal (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/rppld6/comment/hq72tje/) described the show as "a cartoon with live actors and [I] love it," and they weren't the only one. Another "Cobra Kai" cohort, u/mojo-jojo-was-framed (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/rppld6/comment/hq8drdt/), brought up the epic standoff during school hours, saying, "A kid was paralyzed on the first day of school then was healed and involved in a huge karate brawl during Christmastime. And I loved every second of it."
Highlighting major story beats like this, one fan added that it's always a pleasure seeing characters settling an issue the only way they know how. "I love that in the 'Karate Kid' world, you can solve all of your problems with karate," u/KeetoNet (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/rppld6/comment/hq6vv8d/) so astutely observed. "Daddy issues? Karate. Bullying? Karate. Bonding with your daughter? Karate. Corporate espionage? Karate. Local government issues? Karate. Reestablishing a connection with your past? Karate. Struggling with your career? Karate." Sure, it might seem like fair game to poke fun at the legacyquel series, but it's something that the creators of "Cobra Kai" stand by to maintain the original ideals "The Karate Kid" fought for.
