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.

victorius au??

ok I was watching a fight compilation with Anthony larusso and read the comments and saw someone commented Victoria Justice randomly. I was so confused and then it just gave me this crazy wacky idea, cobra kai victorius au but it's Anthony larusso ofc. West valley high gone musical like Hollywood arts or a different art school of some sort. Sam was supposed to fill in for an act then an accident came up and Anthony has to fill in and accidentally falls into the spotlight and sings and gets accepted to the school.

So of course Anthony is tori Vega and meets other musically talented friends.

Kenny as Andre.

Devon as jade.

Lia as cat.

Bert as robbie, probably has a puppet mongoose.

Nate as Beck.

And johnny obviously is sikowitz.

(Also could you just imagine Anthony singing make it shine 🤭)

Why do female teenage characters cannot be emotional, loud, annoying, complex or just HUMAN without people acting like they are the anti Christ for not being semi perfect???

If they are semi perfect, have the normal reaction to their trauma and they still get destroyed or called boring if they aren't complex or human and even can get called Mary sue character if you don't give them enough depth or edge.It's like you are damned either way, fuck that.

Write female characters how you like. You want them to be a piece of shit? Do it! You want them to be a piece of shit but humanizing them? Do it! You want them to be self righteous and try to do the right thing even if they had to act judgmental and annoying about it? Do it. You want them to be the villian? Do it! You want them to be a victim? Do it.

And let's also start writing more teenage male characters who cry openly, who express their masculinity in however way they want whether is through outwardly or inwardly. You want to make them crybabies? Do it. You want to write them in ways that female characters get shamed for? Do it. You want them to be comforted? Do it. There is never one way to write human characters.

We need to break this stereotypes and just write human characters. Human characters who sometimes cry, sometimes doesn't, who can be stoic or sensitive or even both since it doesn't need to be one over the other, fighter or peacemaker or even both or neither. Male characters can be just as soft as female characters can be and female characters can be as tough as male characters can be.

Let teenage characters be as messy as they can be and let's not judge them with the same standards that you would if they were adult since no teenagers deserved that treatment even if they are that annoying or bratty.

Let them be annoying and emotional as they can be even if others misunderstand them. Let them misunderstand them. Let them hate them even if you didn't write them hateful. People will project and sadly some people do give high standards to teenage characters more than any other characters. Adult characters can be forgiven more than the teenage characters ever get and that can be reflected in our society still...

YES, Samantha LaRusso can be "annoying" at times.

She's not supposed to be a "perfect" character, she's a teenage girl going through things for the first time. Therefore not knowing how to navigate through the situations she's going through so of course the way she deals with things won't be linear

NO, She's not "fat".

She gained weight just like how literally everybody does and she's STILL fit😬 She's not an animated character who can stay consistent, she's a real person (ily Mary) who changes over the years, like how EVERYBODY does. Even so, she still has the ability to do her stunts and remain in karate, unlike her haters who sit around all day trying to slander her😅

ADDING ON, why do people attempt to slut shame her for liking Miguel & Robby at the same time when Miguel liked her and Tory at the same time & vice versa with Robby liking Sam and Tory? I personally never liked two people at the same time but that doesn't mean it's not common within teenage experiences.

Today it is presumably Anthony larusso's birthday 🎂 🥳 so here's an appreciation post and collage of him throughout the seasons growing into his own personal strength from the iPad kid in the background from season 1 to the strong and tech intelligent fighter in season 6 (yes this is corny I'm bad with words but I love this dorky nerd anyway) 🎂🎂🎂

Friendship is karate and dungeon lord 🥋🧙‍♂️🌈✨️

Anthony larusso as a Pegasus (his mane and tail is dark brown you can barely see 😭). I'm making Griffin santopietro characters as ponies and mlp characters. I don't think I'll make other cobra kai characters tho (cry) maybe someday...
