Of course sometimes Cobra Kai’s connections to The Karate Kid are a lot more direct than the thematic ties Schlossberg refers to. Obviously there are the holdover characters like LaRusso, Lawrence, John Kreese (Martin Kove) and others. There’s also a love of 1980s pop culture as embodied by the musical tastes of Johnny Lawrence, who in some ways seems stuck in high school. There’s also the looming ghost of Pat Morita’s Mr. Miyagi, whose philosophy continues to inform Daniel and by extension everything that happens in Cobra Kai’s story.
Obviously there’s a difference between drawing on something for inspiration and merely imitating it. Cobra Kai thus far has done an admirable job of keeping the spirit of The Karate Kid alive while establishing something new. Clearly the writers are cognizant of needing to return to the source material at the beginning of each season in order to keep themselves grounded in what that original Karate Kid was all about. But there’s also a commitment to letting the Bonsai tree grow through the exploration of new characters from differing backgrounds. The story will continue when Cobra Kai season 5 drops on Netflix on September 9, 2022.
