People always act like Dean is the dense one when in the show Cas is doing this woe-is-me my-tragic-unrequited-love while Dean is in front of him practically doing this male bird mating dance

I love Cobra Kai but people totally miss the message of what Johnny's version of the dojo stands for.

Cobra Kai is not strong because of their 'aura' or aggressive attitudes, but because of the emotional strength they have. Johnny, Miguel, and Tory have gone through so much shit and yet each of them end up with wonderful things: Johnny has a family, Miguel is going to his dream university, Tory is on her way to becoming a millionaire.

Cobra Kai was never about physical strength. Neither was Karate Kid.

I still think even the show got a little bit lost with it's own messages sometimes but the point still stands that neither dojo is shown to have true strength through aggression.

Miyagi Do shows strength through not being people who actively seek out fights. They can make the move on their opponent but they never do it with the mentality of either of Silver's dojos.

Cobra Kai is about growth and acceptance and grief and strength. Not who can kick the hardest.

Man, do I hope this show gets some meaningful extended media where the message can seep into many other aspects of life, such as change or bigotry, allowing us to see the true lessons everyone learnt from the unnecessary karate war.

THIS!! I feel like that meaning developed throughout the show. Johnny's version did start out a bit crooked. A ruthless show of strength, not necessarily the emotional one, under Kreese and Silver's teachings. 'Cause that's all Johnny knew at that point. But I think the great thing is that Johnny saw those 3 rules on the wall and turned them from 1 dimensional sentences to ones with depth. You can see him question those original ideas when his students become misguided. But I agree, a lot of people miss the point. Some get stuck with Cobra Kai's OG teachings (AKA the annoying macho broey teenage boys that watch this show), and think that it's the only representation of the dojo. But I like the idea that it meant something to young Johnny to harbour strength in that dojo, but also realise that Cobra Kai doesn't always get it right. Especially, after Kreese betrayed him at the end of TKK. Rather than discarding what meant a great deal to him, he just reclaimed it. Under his own, well-guided teachings.
