I've been very anti-modern entertainment for the past few years or so: don't watch cable or Netflix, don't go to the movies (last new movie I saw was Joker), don't read modern literature, etc. However, I still use the internet, and watch YouTube -- for as long as they let neutral and right-wing creators on the platform, so not for much longer I'm sure -- and I finally got around to watching clips of Cobra Kai.
From the moment I saw footage mocking politically correct speech, I got curious. One YouTube Premium trial and two seasons later, and I found Cobra Kai to be exactly the show we needed, one that rejects Leftist politics. It mocks gender neutrality, it mocks cultural appropriation whiners, it makes fun of a white guy interrupting a karate tournament to preach about equality, and it did this across three seasons.
I'm curious if this is going to keep going, because the show is on Netflix now, and they approved a fourth season. So, while I expect the Lefties to try and worm their way into future episodes, if you need a show that serves to entertain and not indoctrinate, Cobra Kai Seasons 1 - 3 has my stamp of approval.
I havent watched it but I assume the Cobra Kai members are the ones who are anti SJW anti leftist politics. Are you sure you arent cheering for the "bad guys"? or are they not made out to be the "bad guys"? If they are supposed to be the "bad guys", they will probably turn to "the light" over the duration of whatever season they want to end it.
Cobrai Kai is a series where the rival/villain of the first movie, Johnny Lawrence, starts a karate dojo modeled after the one from his youth to help social reject teenagers to gain the strength and character necessary to stand up to bullying.
So, from the start, you do have Cobra Kai sort of acting as the anti-PC squad. Johnny insults his students for their obvious physical flaws, and he has an innate abhorrence towards modern Leftist terminology and behavior. However, it's shown to be a positive thing, as he's doing it to toughen up his students, and it works; those who don't quit due to his behavior and harsh training do become more confident, stronger people, who are able to stand up to their former abusers.
However, a conflict arises as the mantra 'Strike First. Strike Hard. No Mercy.' which runs central to the Cobra Kai 'Way of the Fist' isn't properly tempered due to Johnny's inexperience at being a teacher, along with him being poisoned by his previous experience with John Kreese, the original sensei of Cobra Kai. In short, he doesn't know how to balance the concept of mercy with that of action. As a result, his students gain the very same 'do anything to win, no matter how dirty' mentality that Cobra Kai originally taught despite Johnny's efforts, and they gradually become the very bullies they originally wanted to fight against, much to Johnny's chagrin.
Things continue to escalate as Daniel LaRusso, the hero from the original movies, can't let his old biases go, and continues to antagonize Johnny and Cobra Kai, including convincing Johnny's landlord to raise his rent, and starting his own karate dojo to train students in Miyagi-Do karate. Further issues arise as John Kreese, long though dead by Johnny, comes out of hiding to take back the mantle as sensei of Cobra Kai, and solidify the 'No mercy' aspect of The Way of the Fist.
So, at first, Cobra Kai students aren't portrayed as the "bad guys" at all, just outcasts and misfits learning to fight against those who wrong them. However, as time goes on and Kreese's influence on the students grows, they effectively become the bad guys, counter Daniel's own karate students who have their own issues, but that's an analysis for another post.
Also, the PC attitude also affects Daniel, if only slightly: a bunch of people complain about cultural appropriation when he uses Japanese music and imagery to advertise his karate dojo.
Well, at least now that stupid Koala Kai commercial makes a bit of sense, thanks.
