UPCOMING COBRA KAI SPIN-OFF

This video is NOT targeted at kids under the age of 13.
The Karate Kid is a classic movie from 1984 starring Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso, Pat Morita as Mr. Miyagi, Elisabeth Shue as Ali Mills, William Zabka as Johnny Lawrence and Martin Kove as Sensei John Kreese. Directed by John G. Avildsen and written by Robert Mark Kamen. In 1986, there was The Karate Kid II, which had Yuji Okumoto as Chozen, Tamlyn Tomita as Kumiko, and Danny Kamekona as Sato. In 1989, there was The Karate Kid Part III, which had Thomas Ian Griffith as Terry Silver, Sean Kanan as Mike Barnes, and Robyn Lively as Jessica Andrews. In 1994, there was The Next Karate Kid, which starred Hilary Swank as Julie Pierce, and Michael Ironside as Colonel Dugan. In 2018, a TV series called Cobra Kai was started - which brought back many of the original cast members reprising their roles, as well as newcomers Xolo Maridueña as Miguel Diaz , Tanner Buchanan as Robby Keene, Mary Mouser as Samantha LaRusso, Jacob Bertrand as Eli 'Hawk' Moskowitz, Gianni Decenzo as Demetri, and Peyton List as Tory Nichols.
It has been announced that the producers of Cobra Kai (Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg) will make some spin-off, though it's still yet to be specified what this spin-off will focus on. In this video, I simply go over my ideas of what I'd like to see: a prequel about Mr. Miyagi's grandfather as a teenager in Tomi Village, Okinawa, Japan. I'd like to see a story which goers back and explores some roots of Miyagi-Do Karate.

As far as spin offs are concerned, I think we're more likely to get a prequel set before the original karate kid and which shows Kreese and Silver starting Cobra Kai. Given they already have the actors in place to play the younger versions of the afore mentioned characters and what with the alarming lack of flashback scenes in season 4 which involved both Kreese and Silver, I think it's pretty clear now that this is where they'll go when it comes to spin offs

[@Joelikesmoviesnstuff]

All good points. Although I've never rooted for Kreese or Silver, I'd sure give such a show a chance.

[@clive55]

@@Joelikesmoviesnstuff I think it could be interesting but at the same time, a series centered around Miyagi's father would definitely be something I'd watch.

[@STONESGAM]

I've got an idea for a spinoff that could be a hit I bet but it wouldn't really be focused on Karate. I would do a show called "La Russo Auto". It would be more of an adult, R rated comedy following the events of Cobra Kai. Daniel and Amanda become empty nesters as Sam and then Anthony go away to college. Daniel was so caught up in karate the last few years that he kind of needs to get back to focusing on his business. It would be mostly set at the car dealership and have bigger roles for Anoush and Cousin Louie in comedic roles. Now, instead of having karate rivals Daniel is basically dealing with his business rivals like Tom Cole which would probably be pretty funny. It could have some karate moments and references too. The La Russo kids could make guest appearances as well as Johnny and many of the characters from Cobra Kai here and there. Call me crazy but this could work. Lol.

hi Derek, your idea is definitely creative. I'll be honest: It does not sound like something I personally would want to watch. But maybe some other fans would enjoy it. If any other fans want to comment here, I'll be really curious to read what you all have to say.

[@speedsters.entertainment]

I would prefer a show about mr miyagi I would watch it but I would also like to see John and Terry’s journey through Vietnam or them trying to open cobra Kai

[@Joelikesmoviesnstuff]

If it was a show about young Miyagi, what age would you want to see him be when the series starts? And how many seasons would you hope the show lasts? I think seeing a show about young Kreese and Silver first opening the Cobra Kai dojo (long before Johnny, Bobby, Dutch Tommy or Jimmy joined) sounds like it has a lot of potential than a whole show focused on them in Vietnam. But maybe that's just me.

[@ETEZ5597]

I personally think in season 4 they’ll split up Daniel and Johnny, and they’ll each lead a show

[@Joelikesmoviesnstuff]

Jack, you may be right, but I hope you're wrong. I really like the idea of Daniel and Johnny teaming up. I think it's a good fit after the way the first movie ended and the second movie began... But we'll see what these writers do.

[@brandoncruise6398]

Instead of a TV series, I’d rather it be a movie that explores his life before and during wartime. He was a part of the 442nd infantry regiment, who’re sent to the most dangerous areas of World War II in the Pacific. A lot of people came home with inner demons and spiritual trouble that no medication can ever cure. On the spiritual side of things I think there is a lot worth exploring there that’ll keep people emotionally invested.

[@Joelikesmoviesnstuff]

Sounds interesting! I would watch that for sure! Great idea, thanks for sharing.

[@reverbedmovingmedia]

I think a show about chozen would be good maybe during events between karate kid 2 and cobra Kai season 3

[@Joelikesmoviesnstuff]

That would make an interesting story - a good book, comic book, or animation. But it'd be hard to do in live-action with a budget that can't afford deaging CGI for every episode. I think it could only work if you want to show set a year or two before seeing him in Season 3 of Cobra Kai... Which I'd watch! I think he's a great actor.

[@Joelikesmoviesnstuff]

Did you ever see this video with him? I think it's so funny kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5C0ZmaorcybkK8

[@michaellucejr.6374]

Great stuff Joe I personally think that a spin off show for Cobra Kai could be focused on Johnny starting out at cobra Kai and learning from John Kreese, also what are your thoughts on season two of Stargirl

[@Joelikesmoviesnstuff]

Thanks, Michael. Your idea is interesting, too! I presume you'd want to see actor Owen D. Stone play young Johnny Lawrence, and Barrett Carnahan play young Kreese? I'd sure watch that. The only issue I see there is that there would be a limit to how many seasons such a show could run before Owen D. Stone starts looking older than Johnny did in the first Karate Kid movie... Maybe this idea might work better as miniseries? That's just my thinking... As for my thoughts on the Season 2 finale of Stargirl, I'll e-mail you.

[@michaellucejr.6374]

@@Joelikesmoviesnstuff Yeah maybe like 8 to 10 episode miniseries showing Johnny and his first few months or year at Cobra Kai but yeah as miniseries I’m thinking one season like maybe like a little time jump between the sixth or eighth episode

[@michaellucejr.6374]

I’d also want the same actors who played the younger versions of Johnny and Kreese

[@Joelikesmoviesnstuff]

@@michaellucejr.6374 Owen D. Stone and Barrett Carnahan are the actors who played young Johnny and Kreese.

[@Joelikesmoviesnstuff]

@@michaellucejr.6374 Yeah, your 'ten episodes' idea makes sense to me. The equivalent of one full season of Cobra Kai, with no possibility for a second season. I think that'd be a good plan.

[@jasonblack4208]

"and I do think you'd want it to be a show about a teenager" I realize this I omitted the comparative "as opposed to a 5 year old" bit, but overall...no. I'm a little tired of shows about teenagers. I want to watch more shows about adults beating the shit out of each other. One of the appeals of Cobra Kai is that it features ass kicking among a range of age cohorts, so it doesn't give you that feelings of "ugh...I'm old..." that a lot of otherwise good shows can elicit without meaning to.

[@Joelikesmoviesnstuff]

Okay. Fair enough. What might be some of your ideas for a good Cobra Kai spin-off?
