Okay so I thought of an amazing song idea for Season 5 of my Cobra Kai The Musical posts but I have to actually write Season 4 to get to itđ
Letâs play a game, Iâll write some lyrics I thought up for the song and you guys try to guess whoâs singing it. If you guess correctly you getâŚIdfk, a cookie or something.
Maybe if youâd lived just a bit longer
I would have never turned into this spoiled brat
Maybe if youâd been just a little bit stronger
Iâd have been smart enough to see through all the cracks
Wo-o-ah
For everyone, youâve fixed their lives
But you died before you even witnessed mine
I wouldâve never took the fall, but things donât work that way at all
âI want to put musical numbers in my fanfictionâ I say with glee before beginning to write the fanfiction. Little did I knowâŚIâd have to write them.
Simply Miraculous anecdote: Iâm giving the pigeon man lore
I donât hate Byler in the slightest, what I hate is that 75% of the time Will himself is being talked about, itâs in relation to Byler. Will Byers is more than Byler.
SECURITY BREACH RUIN SPOILERS INCOMING!!!!
Okay so, I have a theory about the normal ending. You know, the one where Cassie gets betrayed by Gregory and gets sent in a falling elevator? That one. The little âCassieâ quote from Roxy leads me to believe that Cassie died and her spirit is going to possess Roxy, just like how Charlotteâs spirit possessed the puppet/Marionette. I might be tripping though.
Oh wow, this is WAY less subtle with subtitles đ
Say you're homophobic without actually saying you're homophobic

Hell is Forver (Descendants Rewrite)

I know the Isleâs population is less than ideal
Theyâre raised up for violence, to lie and to steal
But if we extend a hand and we make them a deal
To live in Auradon
I can see Iâm losinâ ya, hold on!
Iâve heard of their stories, the lost and misplaced
Their ancestorâs teachings are hard to erase
But if we teach them remorse and we give them a place
Before their too far gone
Itâll be a happy day in-
[Chad]
Let me stop you right there, you canât be this naive
So what youâre suggesting is letting them leave
From the Isle, itâs all smiles, till they turn on us all
Theyâll come and act all nice until our bodies are sprawled
Cusâ Karmaâs forever whether you like it or not
Had their chance to behave better now they boil in the pot
Theyâre punished for their treason, theyâre in there for a reason
They live their horrid lives because itâs what they deserve
[Ben]
Come on, Chad-
[Chad]
Just try to chillax, Ben, stop wasting your time
Did you forget what they did, the extent of their crimes?
Are they winners, are they sinners cusâ itâs cut and dry
Fair is fair, an eye for an eye, yeah!
Thereâs no room to debate
Thereâs no questioning fate
Compared to us, who have spawned from heroes
Those little VKâs are simply zeroes!
*air guitar sounds* Guitar solo, oh yeah! *more air guitar sounds*
[Ben]
Uggghhh
[Chad]
Karmaâs forever whether you like it or not
Had their chance to behave better now they boil in the pot
Theyâre punished for their treason, theyâre in there for a reason
They live their horrid lives because itâs what they deserve
Buddy, Karmaâs forever, itâll never fade away
So donât protect them from the debts that they were destined to pay!
The only destination, if you keep this inclination, if you make this determination
Youâll cast our homes to ruination!
[Ben]
What?
[Chad]
In the end, youâre the king, so do what you wanna do
But if we all end dead, then Ben, itâs all on you
SPIT YOUR SHITđŁď¸âźď¸
The thing about Cobra Kai thatâs so unfortunate is that itâs not a character focused show.
What I mean is, I think the writers approach things from a place of, âI would like X to happen, so we will make the characters get there no matter what.â Rather than from a place of, âWhat would the characters do if X happened?â
And, yeah, some cool stuff happens in Cobra Kai, but so often at the expense of characterization. And in the process of getting to a certain place they leave no time to really explore these cool characters that theyâve made.
So many of these characters have such deep traumas and insights, but the audience never gets to see anything come of them. Itâs all just left in the background.
And, possibly even worse, you end up with these 2 dimensional characters like Zara and Kwon who are just doing bad shit for the sake of doing bad shit (and Iâm not even gonna touch on the racism aspect-thatâs its own post). Iâm not saying every antagonist needs a redemption arc, but the things theyâre doing should make sense, especially if youâre going to kill one of them off. Like, if they had done ANYTHING to show that had Kwon had a different mentor things could have been different, that would have hit HARD. But instead the only real sadness is because he was a kid and Kreese brought the knife. It doesnât hit the way it could have because Kwon was more plot device than character. He should have been a parallel to characters like Hawk and Kenny. Like, this is what they could have been had they not had the support they did to get them out of Cobra Kai. This is what happens when you let hatred lead you. Instead, asshole kid got stabbed đ¤ˇââď¸
And itâs just so unsatisfying to have all of these characters and never get to see the things theyâve been through get unpacked in a meaningful way.
Itâs always episodes worth of conflict that they decide to gloss over in one line to get to the next thing. And itâs so underwhelming. You have these great moments of building only to have the worldâs most pathetic climax.
Cobra Kai has great characters with interesting backgrounds if theyâd ever follow through with the effects of those things.
Funniest thing is if you gave Sabrina a space potion she probably could move the star to make it arrive at Jupiter again
u go up to a girl who u bullied/helped to bully for years and think sheâs rejecting you as a friend when really you just werenât the person she wanted to see at that exact moment but in general she thinks ur alright and u ask her is there anything i can do to change ur mind about hating me forever and everâŚ? and she asks you âcan you realign the stars?â and you think wow. what a sick metaphor for asking me if i could turn back time and not have played a hand in her childhood trauma. i will say no and leave in tears. but no. marinetteâs ACTUALLY asking if sabrina knows how to reschedule a starâs arrival at Jupiter because of its astrological significance and how that could positively affect her romantic relationship with adrien I Love This Show
I like to think Tory lets her guard down around Demetri, not because she trusts him, but because she views him as an absolute non-threatâŚ
So when in training one day he actually manages to beat her by the skin of his teeth, it shakes her up for a little bit.
