As someone who fucking loved Cobra Kai from the beginning (pre-Netflix era)
The teaser/trailer/promowhatever for Cobra Kai season 4 just came out and honestly I didn't watch it. I don't care about Terry Silver. I don't care about Kreese or his overdramatic backstory told in one too many flashbacks that I never wanted and didn't need. I don't care how he ended up the way he did.
Honestly, I watched the first movie because I found Johnny Lawrence hot (hence the time I spent giffing all the damn scenes he was in the movie, and the countless hours spent on gifs about him and Miguel and Cobra Kai). I didn't watch the other movies and will likely never watch the other movies because quite frankly I don't really care for Daniel, which is why I didn't care for the whole Japan plot line in season 3 either.
I fell in love with Cobra Kai because it was a redemption story for Johnny Lawrence and the ragtag bunch of misfits he picked up along the way and I loved it so much.
Then season 3 came along and Johnny's character development was dropkicked off a cliff and I spent the majority of the season wanting to dropkick him off a cliff (along with Kreese).
The Cobra Kai kids were pretty much put on the back burner and Robby was practically forgotten and screen time that could have been given to Johnny (and Daniel) not failing Robby over and over or letting Miguel recover from a life threatening and life altering injury in a way that wasn't so stupid and made out to be a joke, or even just giving screen time to Robby - was instead allocated to whatever the fuck that was with Kreese for whatever the fuck reason (I legitimately don't know because I skipped through all the flashback scenes).
I think I skipped more than I watched that season and it's telling that I watched the whole season just once and didn't go back for a second rewatch. Meanwhile I can't even count the amount of times I watched the movie and the first two seasons and the amount of times I rewatched certain scenes to make gifs of it.
Season 3 was quite frankly, absurd on top of boring with hints of good stuff peppered about and I honestly hated fucking Kreese. Now that we're getting not only more Kreese, but also Terry Silver, I'm looking forward to the next season even less.
So yeah, I thought I was going to go back to being active in the fandom after season 3, but I guess that didn't fucking happen.
