đšWe ran out of bread againđš
Hello my friend,đ”đž
I hope you are well.đ·
My kids couldn't speak, just cryingđ
How can I ask them why they cry when they are children who suffer from all human afflictionsâŒïž
They suffer from malnutrition, a tent that does not protect against cold or heat after we lost our warm home, a cold that crushes their bones, no food, no education, no entertainment, no food or medicine.đ„ș
Children in a fragile state, sadness pouring from their eyes, and their tongue unable to speak.đ„
Please help me get out of this difficult situation and provide bread for my children as soon as possible.

Guys please donate if you can đđ even a small donation can go a long way, if you can't spread the word, genocide is obviously not okay but neither is bystanding
iâve said this in like multiple of my posts but cobra kai wouldâve benefited from having more than 10.. im thinking 15-20 episodes in a season, with obviously better writers as well as having the run time for an episode be up to an hour or just over that.
writing this season was very buns lol. like very, the characters in ck universe deserved better than what ever the hell the writers gave them. all of them.
they try and fit so much plot into 5 episodes with said episodes only being 30-37 minutes. maybe it wouldâve been fine for seasons 1 and 2. more so the earlier seasons. but they introduced so many ânewâ characters who need good arcs and developments and also the plot.
why did they have tory have a brother if they werenât gonna expand on that. heâs strictly used as a plot device. i genuinely forget she has a brother until itâs mentioned. the writers couldâve done so much with that if they cared enough i think.
itâs like they add shit for characters for plot and they donât understand how to expand on it so itâs just left unanswered.
for example: made episode 5 all about toryâs mothers death.. yet in part 2 sheâs only mentioned twice (none by tory herself) and we see her playing with that bottle cap from the flashback. where is her grieving, howâs her mental state? whatâs going through her mind?
moving on there are so many things that couldâve been expanded on like johnny and robbyâs relationship, friendships couldâve been built, relationships too. iâm not gonna just solely place blame.. they (writers) didnât know how big ck would be in the future but still lol.
as you introduce more characters and the plot changes, surely some things would change along with that and it just hasnât đ
doesnât help that writers love showing their favourites and obvious bias as well lol. for season 6 writers have just been scrambling trying to find out ways for drama to continue or just stupid plots for the story.
while i see what angle theyâre aiming for .. shit couldâve been done literally so much better. as i said, with better writers.
i donât watch enough movies or tv shows to know who to name but iâm sure plenty of writers in Hollywood wouldâve been able to do a better job for sure.
like thereâs way too many things that just donât make sense, and so many things that i would change when it comes to plot, introducing new characters and the arc they would have among plenty other issues.
uhm thatâs all i think.
today i wanna talk about the big brawl.. season 6, episode 10 and the sekai taikai.. basically how eye would change some things.
this is gonna be an extremely long post .. i like to yap. clearly. so yeah.
initially, when i first watched i loved it.. but rewatching that specific scene. itâs giving lacklustre? i mean the choreography was good thatâs for sure but i donât know.. i feel like it couldâve been done so much better .. also feel like it didnât really have to end in kwons death either.
the reason why it fell short for me and felt a bit anticlimactic was because it was just random? russian dojo came back and punched gunther in the face, everyone else started fighting.. like okayđ
the thing is there was no reason too really. (have the massive brawl breakout THAT way) a brawl is fine, but the way it was carried out isnât. also the actual tournament way too short.
i have an idea; so gonna share it here for you all! this might be dumb but i donât like a lot with this season 6 part 2 after initial thought. anyways here we go đ:
start off by saying sekai taikai was too short. like a world tournament only being around 30-40 minutes. i wouldâve had the episodes longer with a runtime of an hour or over an hour.
i think CK couldâve benefited from longer episodes and more episodes anyway and better writers. but i digress
each international dojo is introduced through short videos or flashbacks as the teams all join together in the arena or whatever, showcasing unique abilities and talent.
cobra kai and miyagi do both face frictions with other teams in the tournament. an aggressive and brutal dojo accuses cobra kai of being frauds who canât live up to their intimidation tactics (blame kwon for that one, him intimidating others outside of the mat.) leads to that sort of confrontation.
miyagi-dos defense style is mocked by other dojo who sees it as way too soft. tension brews between alllll the teams. it isnât just a cobra kai and miyagi do thing against all, all dojos have issues w each other.
several preliminary matches are shown, including standout fights featuring (sam, hawk, devon) and (tory, yoon, kwon) other cobra kai teamates deserved to be mentioned more.
tensions rise between tory and another dojos female fighter. tory isnât balanced and dealing with the grief of her mother still. this girl from the other team is aggressive and fast. forcing tory to become the same. letting out her anger and almost gets disqualified.
johnny and daniel struggle to keep the peace between miyagi do. theyâre fighting well, but not as good as they possibly could be. theyâre losing a lot of matches and the team becomes completely divided. one side saying to fight aggressive; other side saying to defend
things begins to get a lil heated OUTSIDE of tournament.. rival dojos begin sabotaging each other outside the matches. a lot of street fights if you will. or just them fucking with eachother. an example: miyagi do member is ambushed completely by another dojo.
sam is targeted by a rival fighter in a dirty off the matt attack. causing noticeable, bad injuries, miguel jumps in to defend her and makes himself a target for specific dojo.
the brawl: a rival dojo manipulates tensions between miyagi do and cobra kai. possibly spreading a false rumour. like cobra kai plotting to sabotage a miyagi do fighter by injuring them with an illegal move they could disguise as not an illegal move lol.
yada, yada, yada. something happens, someone could hit someone else, the big brawl happenes!
during big brawl, tory could intervene to protect devon and takes a severe hit leaving her threatened with life changing injuries.
letâs get to kwon real quick: instead of him being an asshole and just getting killed. itâs established that kwon is one of the best fighters on the tournament. during brawl kwon gets ambushed by a jealous rival dojo or just a rival who wants to quite literally take him outta commission đ”.
kwon could also have a personality, so just not an asshole.. or not an asshole all the time , so heâs NOT a bad person and his team actually fw him.
say the ambush is so bad it triggers people from cobra kai to try and rescue him.. another way tory could get critically injured trying to protect him.
âwhy tory?â you may ask.. and why not? kwon was just introduced. it gives off more shock factor that a main character got hurt instead of him.
the impact of toryâs injury:
shock factor- tory being critically injured instead of kwon would exceed expectations.. like NO ONE couldâve seen it coming. her injury would create an emotional gut punch for characters like devon, sam, robby.
next, a full tournament arc. this would give the series time to delve into each fighting style, all the dojos. hereâs how they could do it:
establish rivalries. cross-dojo friendships and betrayals .. this one could be interesting. inner team drama.
different fights during the sekai taikai:
tag team matches.
weapon kata demonstrations
survival matches
free for all battles
team relay matches
speed challenges
lastly, activities that the captains of each dojo would have to do or all the kids in the comp:
1. leadership seminar; captains are required to give speeches or participate in discussions about their dojos philosophy, training style, discipline, skills.
2. demonstration matches; captains are required to participate in matches to show their skills and set an example.
3. coaching workshop; leadership skills between the captains would be tested. captains would have to try and coach fighters from the other dojos.
as you can see if youâve read up to this point, thereâs A LOT .. i am a professional yapper. relaying back to my point. all this couldnât fit into 5 episodes between 30-40 minutes, thatâs why everything shouldâve been bigger, longer.
CK doesnât have the budget im aware so most of these are just headcannons unless someone wants to write a fic and do a whole rewrite.. which I might be up to do.. however i cant write for shitđ
uhm yeah đ
