How They Made Us Love Johnny

In The Karate Kid, he was a classic 80's bully. But in Cobra Kai, he was just an average guy who made mistakes and went down the wrong path in life. I love how the show turned a classic bully of a stereotype into an actual human character. And you're right; this is one of the greatest redemption stories in TV history.

Bro cancelled Miguel’s asthma 🤣

It was ultimately a redemption story of Johnny Lawrence. He learnt his lessons and made sure he took his second chance. Really enjoyed it.

Though Cobra Kai is over... COBRA KAI NEVER DIES!!!!!

Genuinely beautifully written video, man. Johnny Lawrence is such a relatable character. It's been a while since we've had a character like him in TV, who has such a rich, patient and optimistic character arc. Johnny became a father to Miguel, Robby and Laura, got married to a genuinely graceful woman, and he became the World Champion. His arc goes to show that it's never too late for a second chance, no matter how far you've fallen, how old you are or how deep your trauma is. Cobra Kai is such an inspiring show.

Barney from how I met your mother would be the happiest man ever seeing how far johnnys come

Cobra kai never dies. Even though the show is over us, fans will remember the characters, the amazing fight, a great story, character arcs , sad moments, and redeemed characters and enemies turned into friends . And life lessons we could use for Entire life. Im Happy for the new Karate kid legends movie even though Johnny wont be in it i wish he could been in a cameo

I actually didn't hate Johnny in The Karate Kid. They make it clear by the end of the movie that it wasn't him but rather his teacher that was the bad guy. Plus no teenage guy is gonna be thrilled when the new kid in town starts dating the girl they're in love with.

I watched the whole video and gave it a thumbs up! Johnny showed his good side even in The Karate Kid (1984) towards the end. Unfortunately, that goodness was met with little if no reward. It was entertaining to see him develop into a better man slowly as he was swimming upstream.

I have always been a fan of Johnny even before Cobra Kai came out

Lmao I always loved Johnny 😂.
I chose his action figure when my mam took me to the toy store .😂

Perfectly articulated,this guy said it best for me,well said.

What I loved most about Cobra is that, perhaps with the exception of Terry Silver, there are no clear villains, and perhaps with the exception of Daniel Larusso, neither are there any clear heroes.
Practically all characters in the show, both protagonists and antagonists, show elements of both good and bad.
All the people we hated in the movies (Chozen, Barnes, and even Kreese) were shown to have a much more human and vulnerable side in Cobra Kai. Some just took more time for it to show. Even Terry Silver, who was perhaps the only irredeemable person in the franchise, had a huge vulnerable side which at least makes it understandable why he does the bad things he does, even if it's still un-condonable (no spoilers, for those who have yet to watch).
On the contrary, all the people in Cobra Kai who were for the most part "good people", even they had significant moments of being the bad guy.
Cobra Kai is great simply because there is no black-and-white depiction of heroes and villains that you typically see in movies & tv shows.

I've honestly loved Johnny since 1984. I'm a a 45 year 3rd degree black belt in Taekwondo, Johnny is basically my mirror image. I'm is of an asshole. I'm definitely flawed, and unreasonable at times, but I have a beautiful wife and a 15 year old autistic son that mean the world to me.

COBRA KAI NEVER DIES !!!!!!

Can't believe over 40 years later and continuing from it, that this series also became a classic.
Just wish they would have done some more Easter Eggs/ References.
Barney Stinson/ Neil Patrick Harris from How I Met Your Mother.
Wax On, F Off comedy skit from Funny or Die.
Sweep the Leg performance by No More Kings.
Most of all Julie Pearce making an appearance.
Disappointed these four were not put in the series, but hopefully a movie, that continues one in some way does.

You know, now that I have seen Johnny's backstory, I can see how he feels and the reasons why he has held all this anger inside of him.

by the end of karate kid we see that johnny wasnt an asshole, when he lost, he held larusso's hand up so people could celebrate him, mr. miagy said it himself "there is no such thing s bad student, only bad teatcher"

Some of us always liked Johnny, and thought Daniel was the bully

I love Kreese’s character arc.

I never hated Johnny even his bully era looks goofy and fun

See Johnny Lawrence was teaching cobra kai on the light side but kreese brought it back to the dark side who agrees with me?

johnny is KK cobra kai

Pretty sure tht u got this Video idea from my Comment on another video 😮‍💨(titled 'johnny being woke' )
