Ex-Degenerate

Without spoiling anything, this was a perfect ending to what has to be one of the best ever spinoffs to a great movie franchise.

As a millennial it ticked all of the boxes I wanted, great homages to its history, awesome music choices and really heartfelt story.

I wish this show could continue forever but this was a perfect ending to an amazing series. The growth of Jonny as a character is amazing and could be seen on full display in the episode.

Only downside for me was some of the not so prominent characters could have had some closure to their stories but I understand that the main story had to be the priority and as already mentioned this was done brilliantly well.

What can I say about this finale?

I've seen so many shows over the years only to be let down by the ending.

Literally 90% of the shows I've seen have ended in disappointment.

But this one on the take hand is one of the very few shows I've seen that have had a superb ending.

I guess most people who have watched Cobra Kai have seen The Karate Kid and they know the story.

When Cobra Kai appeared on my screens I wasn't sure.

I mean I LOVED the original but thought the 'reboot' series would be rubbish and something like the Karate Kid movie remake.

Boy was I wrong.

Do yourself a favour guys, watch this.

It's actually VERY good.

Somehow, Cobra Kai has been one of my favorite series to follow. It was light, fun, witty, repetitive, very emotional and all at once.

With this episode, Cobra Kai ended with fantastic payoffs and performances, the usual fun and silly ideas, I totally thought it was perfect. It was always a light-hearted show with many witty moments and choices, it did not disappoint. The last part of season 6 is probably the best thing in Karate Kid universe.

I remember seeing the movie 2 at the cinema, probably two or three years after the original release because I was too young. Immediately after seeing the first on TV. It was a family adventure to discover these films as a child.

35/36 years later we have this perfect closure and I absolutely loved it.

Cobra Kai never dies.

My gosh, was this a near perfect episode. I felt extreme tension for the last fight. Even before it started, you felt scared for the character. You felt scared for them. The tension was really there. It was such an edge of seat experience the entire fight. That was if you were in your seat, I was cheering and jumping around. The training scene could of been longer but was absolutely awesome, and some of the endings could of been better. Did feel a bit rushed, but the main part of the episode just felt so eerie. I felt scared, for the first time in Cobra Kai history, the audience felt on edge.

We feared. We were afraid. But, Pain Does not Exist in this dojo. Cobra Kai never dies.

When this first aired, I had no idea just how much it would evolve the original story and immortalize it now and forever.

Everyone finally got their moment that we wanted for them since ep 1. It hit every note and then some.

It not only respected the source Material, it elevated it beyond anything I could Ever predict.

I laughed, cried and cheered for every character.

To see the villains get humanized, but not so much that it waters them down, no, we get to see both sides of how they are.

Even the great Terry finally is unmasked in his own way.

Kreese's arc was something that just blew me away. It was earned and handled with such class. I cried. My lord did I cry.

The way Daniel faces his PTSD The way Johnny finds himself.

And so on.

This has been quite the journey for all. And it's great to see a show land on its feet with a perfect landing.

This is how you write a sequel and show. We will never have anything like it again.

It will make you appreciate the older films so much more. The nuances they brought out from one note characters and turned them into humans. It was such a sight.

We take our last bow now. But as always, COBRA KAI NEVER DIES.
