Hey, I’m here with another opportunity that the Cobra Kai writers missed entirely. TWO, actually.
Numero Uno: Having Robby have some repressed envy towards Eli in Season 4. I mean, Robby hurts one person, makes one huge mistake, and his entire life goes down the drain. But Hawk becomes an absolute monster, hurting everybody and committing multiple crimes over the course of several months, but after a simple sowwy, he gets off without barely a slap on the wrist. Then, have Kreese notice this envy and use it to push Robby towards the decision of defeathering Hawk.
Numéro Deux: Having Kenny have a bit of animosity and distrust towards Kenny in Season 6, without Demetri having to influence that. Kenny’s story is super similar to Hawk’s, which I once thought should be reason to have them have a sort of mentor-mentee relationship, but I think this is more interesting. Because of the similarities, some of the guilt and self-loathing Hawk felt towards himself for his own actions kind of bubbles up and directs itself towards Kenny for a few weeks.
Am I saying I’m a better writer than the people who wrote Cobra Kai? No. Am I saying that if I did write the show this would be in it? Hell yes.
