BAHAHAHAHA
their dynamic to a t
You see the vision đ¤
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)
Miyagi-Do: Our fighting style resolved around focus and strategy, predicting our opponents moves to properly evade and counter-
Cobra Kai:
also hilarious that every sports movie ever has a scene where the main character is losing and either mad or frustrated about it which is causing them to lose before they calm down and lock the fuck in. focused. its a staple scene. and cobra kai says no. do NOT do that. arenât you tired of being nice (you were never nice) donât you want to go ape shit
Samtory AU where Sam is obsessed with Tory but in a âour rivalry is sacred and I despise you but our competition drives me to better myself in ways I never even dreamed of before also I kind of want to kiss youâ
Sam: I have to defeat her, but how? Sheâs too strong, too skilled, too hot, too smart, too hot-
Miguel: You said hot twice.
Sam:âŚI mean, yeah, look at her? Are you blind?
______
Daniel: Sam, you might have a problem.
Sam, standing in the middle of her room that she covered with pictures of Tory: Whatever do you mean, father?
Daniel: What do I-I mean all of this!
Sam: Oh, Iâm just getting locked in for the tournament by focusing on my greatest adversary.
Daniel, pointing at the punching bag covered top to bottom in Toryâs headshots: and what about that?
Sam:âŚimage training?
Let It Go | If Hawk sang âLet it Goâ from Frozen
[Verse 1]
The sun shines bright on the skyline tonight
Not a shimmer to be seen
The peace that I once knew of
Now a distant memory
These demons haunt me through the day and through the night
Thing is only few truly know my strife
[Pre-Chorus]
Eli, calm down, donât go lash out
Youâll survive if you keep your head down
Stay silent, just go with the flow
Well I say no!
[Chorus]
Let it Go!
Let it Go!
Wonât hold it back anymore!
Let it Go!
Let it Go!
Iâm breaking down these doors!
Iâll take the mold!
And control my fate!
Let the winds rage on!
This birdâs grown wings and itâs out itâs cage
[Verse 2]
Itâs funny how this passion
Grows every time I fall
The ones that once tortured me
Canât handle me at all!
[Pre-Chorus]
I wonât keep down this burning flame
These weakling all will feel my pain
Iâll train and train until I bleed
Theyâll see!
[Chorus]
Let it Go!
Let it Go!
My sufferingâs come to an end
Let it Go!
Let it Go!
Iâll never fall again!
Here I stand!
And Here Iâll Stay!
Let the winds rage onâŚ
[Bridge]
My passion burns and blazes all throughout this town
Iâll take over this game and nothingâs gonna keep me down
My fists ache waiting to go and kick some ass
I wonât be weak again, the past is in the past!
[Chous]
Let it Go!
Let it Go!
My wrath lights up the night!
Let it Go!
Let it Go!
Youâll never see me cry!
Iâve changed my mind!
This is my fate!
Let the winds rage on!
This birdâs grown wings and itâs out its cage
Guys, Chapter 4 is 30 pages and itâs not even done yetđ
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.
TUMBLR I LIKED ONE DANDADAN POST STOP PUTTING IT ALL OVER MY FEED IM ONLY ON EPISODE 4
Oh, hell yeah. As much as I love Robby, that was fucked.
I feel like if they actually had time to explore character dynamics, maybe 26 episodes a season instead of a measly 10, there wouldâve been episodes in Season 5 revolving Robby atoning for his sins and healing his bonds with certain people, and heâd have NO idea how to handle Eli. Basically what Iâm saying is, this shouldâve taken at least an entire episode to resolve.
eli should've been allowed to be mad at robby about the shaving thing for longer than five minutes, in this essay i will-
Demetriâs character assassination in P2 was so fucking grand that it felt targeted đ
canât wait to see how hawk and demetri will continue to get butchered in part 3 YIPPEEE
SEASON 6 P3 SPOILERS
Kreese and Silverâs death was tense all up until the moment where Silver was likeâNOOOâ and Kreese was like âMercyâ, that just made me giggle and erased all form of tension in it.
