I’m so mad rn cus I missed an opportunity in season 2 of Cobra Kai the musical to have a Miguel and Robby duet that focuses on their relationships with Tory and Sam respectively, it would be When I See Him-esque. The way I even have lyrics thought up too-

Get dressed, look your best, make an effort, be appealing

Freshen up, pray for luck, and ignore that nagging feeling

That you’re doing something wrong, that you’re stringing her along

That you’re still deeply in love with you know who

Oh wow, this is WAY less subtle with subtitles 😭

Say you're homophobic without actually saying you're homophobic

Fuck you lady

You guys ever think Kenny has abandonment and/or daddy issues?

I mean, from what we’ve seen, the boy is alone in his house most of the time because his mom works and his dad is off at sea. So like, is it a far stretch to say that maybe he’s internalized that in some way?

Idk, maybe I’m reading too deep into it, I just want to give Kenny something to make him more interesting. Anthony’s depth is implied but Kenny’s is just nonexistent.

Robby: Just let me take care of Kenny's training, Sensei Kreese, he'll be my responsibility.

Kreese: ...alright, but no monkey business.

Five Days Later

Robby: And then swing, yuh- Kenny: And then swing, yuh- Robby and Kenny: And then swing, yuh, AND THEN SWING YUUUUUUU-

Bro, I just got a superhero idea from watching Shimmer and Shine

FAK and the show is unexpectedly good.

Theme song is straight gas too

I've never seen it described so accurately

i’m such a “i want your attention” but “won’t bother you” kinda person

You see the vision 🤝

Hypothetical Cobra Kai Musical Songs (Season 1)

What is Cobra Kai was or had a Musical? Well, this is what I think a couple of the songs in Season 1 would be like.

As someone who views the beginning of the show as both Johnny and Daniel being the main characters, the first song of the hypothetical musical should definitely be a duet between them. However, since the show was known for being 'The Johnny Spinoff' in it's earlier seasons, I think it's fitting that Daniel's POV comes first, an upbeat, piano and ukulele heavy section with generally happy themes. About 75% through Daniel's section, it transitions to a commercial for his autoshop where he sings about his great deals and awesome ethical code and it's all going gre-

And then the TV shuts off and we see Johnny's reflection in the screen. We get a bitter, guitar-heavy section of Johnny ranting about how his life has gone completely downhill ever since that one tournament. It goes until the chorus kicks in, where Daniel and Johnny sing their sections together and it ends with the lines, "And it's all uphill/downhill...from here." Obviously the song would be called From Here.

Next, I'm thinking a Miguel and Johnny duet of Miguel trying to convince Johnny to teach him karate after he saved him from Kyler. Think if My Superhero Movie (TTGTTM) and The Other Side (TGS) had a lovechild. Miguel starts singing about how he can make him strong and then Johnny cuts in about how karate ruined his life and that Miguel is better off just not drawing attention to himself. It ends with Johnny yelling at Miguel to fuck off and Miguel does, well, fuck off. The song would be called What You Could Make Me.

The next song is admittedly somewhat odd to place here but it's a Demetri solo called Under The Radar, basically about how it's better for social outcasts like them to stick to themselves and while he could yearn for something bigger, he finds that time better spent studying for MIT, building models, basically nerd stuff. I'm not entirely sure what it would sound like, but I think it would have some Daft Punk style tech motifs. I also just think it would be funny if Demetri was the first character to get a solo. It shouldn't be more than a minute and a half long though.

Next is a Kyler Villain Song (that sentence feels so wrong to type). It's basically the inverse of Under The Radar where it's basically Kyler just bragging about being tough and popular and saying how nerds like Miguel can't even hope to step up to gods like him. Just Kyler riding an ego high for two minutes. I'd call it Hopeless.

Then, a Miguel solo. It would take place after Carmen forbids him from training with Johnny. It'd be similar to How Far I'll Go except with Spanish guitars and drums. It'd definitely have aspects of What You Could Make Me, Hopeless, and Under the Radar in there. It'd be called Break The Cycle and the chorus would always start with 'If I could break the cycle' until the last one where it's 'When I break the cycle'.

The next song is a song for my glorious ki-Robby, I mean Robby. It would take place when Johnny goes to confront him at his mom's house when he's hanging out with his scumbag friends. It's basically an alternative rock song about how Johnny blew his chance to actually be a father to him so he better not pretend to care now. It would be similar to Hell is Forever from Hazbin Hotel, especially with Robby's friends providing background vocals and how it would end with Robby literally throwing Johnny out of the apartment. This song would be called Second Chances Don't Exist.

The next song takes place when Daniel visits Miyagi's grave, where he considers Amanda's words about being an asshole for raising the rent. It's about how much Cobra Kai's hurt him but he's lost himself in his trauma and shit like that. I guess it can be called I've Lost Myself or something like that. Honestly, not to sure on that name so consider it a placeholder.

Next up, a Hawk solo. This song is, and I'm not joking, just Let It Go from Frozen. It's about Eli's transition into Hawk, starting with him lamenting about his status and vulnerability before resolving to make a change and become a different version of himself, craft a new persona, spread his wings and become The Hawk. I'd call it Flip The Script.

Up next is a song about Daniel training Robby through the unconventional ways of Mister Miyagi, think Warrior of the Mind from Epic The Musical except less intense and with some flutes and drums. It would be Daniel heavy but Robby would have a few lines about how all this training sucks and he feels like it's just a way to make him do chores. That is until he sees the progress he's made thanks to the training and the final chorus is a full on duet between the two. Idk what this song would be called so feel free to suggest any names.

Then, definitely a love duet between Miguel and Sam, I don't actually have an example to compare it to so this section will be short as hell. I don't have a name for it either lmao.

Next, you know that scene in the junkyard of Johnny training the new Cobras? Turning it into a song. It would be if You've Got The Touch and Make A Man Out Of You did a fusion dance, and it would most likely be a Johnny solo. It would also be an inverse of the Daniel-Robby song from earlier. I'd call it something like Pain is Progress. (Not very sure on this name either).

The season would end with a reprise of From Here, with Daniel and Johnny both thinking about their respective victories and losses in the tournament, Daniel reassuring Robby that his second place trophy while Johnny laments about having misled his students and driven his son further away. The reprise would end with Kreese literally appearing in the dojo and singing the last line. Alright, so, since I don't want this to be too long and Cobra Kai is a VERY long series, I'm going to do one of these for each season. And they split Season 6 into parts for some reason, each part will have it's own post. @queen-cobra now you can stop RUSHING ME (jkjk)

Every Cobra Kai Character's Signature Weapon

A few CK characters have weapons they're associated with because they use them the most, Sam has the bo staff, Tory has nunchucks (and a katana that one time), Chozen has sais, Terry has a katana, etc etc. I was wondering, what if other characters had signature weapons? I decided to try and base them off of their personalities and fighting styles as I made my guesses. Without further ado, here we go:

Miguel - Miguel is generally one of the more balanced fighters in the game, leaning more towards offense than defense in a straight-forward, fast-paced style, so if I was to give him a weapon, it would probably be daggers or escrima sticks. Daggers would give him the quick, aggressive offense while also allowing a good bit of strategy and countering, while the escrima sticks have basically the same perks with slightly less damage, but more defense.

Robby - Robby has possibly the most balanced style in the series, with equal parts offense and defense, so a weapon that matches that is pretty easy to find. I think Robby would do amazingly with tonfa, it provides an amazing defense while also enhancing Robby's punches with the part of the stick above the handle. Tonfa in general are underrated weapons honestly.

Demetri - Demetri's almost pure defense, but what a lot of people don't seem to notice is his range. Being as tall and lanky as he is allows him to beat the shit out of you from slightly longer away than the rest of his peers, so a good weapon to reflect that would be a three-section-staff. It'll allow him to block and keep you away until he needs to counter, lock you in, and wail on you.

Hawk - Eli's a pretty offensive fighter, same as Miguel, but what I took into account for this is that he's kind of just inescapable. His fighting style involves running down his opponent, a complete rushdown, so I think a nice weapon for him would be a rope dart. He can swing it around ruthlessly with powerful speed, or use it to yank your ass all the way across the field to him.

Devon - Devon's fighting style, like Hawk's, revolves around offense, but she's also quite quick, so I think a decent weapon for her would be a wakizashi, allowing her to do good damage fast. Honestly, her fighting style isn't anything new so it wasn't easy to give her a unique weapon.

Kenny - Kenny's fighting style, however, is interesting because it's almost entirely composed of punches and arm-based moves. This kid is giving out haymakers like they're jolly ranchers in a playground. So I decided to give him a singular metal gauntlet. Yes, just one, he doesn't need two. This will give him a good edge to his punches while leaving a free flexible hand for grabs and such.

Now, I don't think the senseis would willingly use weapons, but if they were to, Johnny would use an axe or a tomahawk and Daniel would also use tonfa.
