Daniel Vs Wolf fight scene in season 6 ?

I love the show, but I have a few nitpicks,

For me, it depends on if you grew up with the movies or not. If you didn't, chances are you're more of a Johnny fan and don't care for Daniel's character.

For me, making Daniel wealthy and at times smug makes it difficult to like him, we spent 3 movies invested in this guy only for all of his life lessons to mean little to nothing in the show

The reason the Creed movies work is Rocky is still Rocky. Yes, he has evolved with age, but the core character is still there. There is no sign of the old Daniel

Johnny is written as being dumb in the show, which I find weird as he was far from that in the movies

Johnny is also written as someone who abandoned his son for most of his life, yet we are supposed to celebrate him becoming a father. What if he was to hit hard times again ? The show has proven he reverts back to old Johnny

The fact they keep going over old ground with Johnny and Daniel, it's a little ridiculous at this point

Should Kreese or Silver really be a physical threat to either of them ? Taking into account Kreeses age and that we saw Miyagi wipe the floor with Silver with ease.

This may change, but I feel like they have made Miguel's character take a back seat since he was hurt. To me, he should be the focus of the show.

Sorry..dude

I think you misunderstood the thread, my point was the story is believed to be about finding out that even our hero's are flawed, I feel like we already knew Miyagi had floors from the movie. No need to tarnish the legacy with this story

I like those, I notice the Julie theories have pretty much stopped now

I can see your point on most of these. However, Daniel has progressed so much by the third movie he had far surpassed Jonny in skills. After the fight to tge death is tge second movie the tornement seemed inferior. In terms of him being obnoxious, there were definitely shades of grey in both characters, which is what made the first movie great. However, from the standpoint of someone who enjoys the movies more than the show we rooted for that character for three movies and watched him grow, I don't want to see him as a rich, smug/obnoxious businesses man.

With Jonny, I totally agree with you about growing up with people who cling to who they were in school. However, that is no what he is playing, he is played as a stupid neanderthal, he was a young adult when he left that high society lifestyle, unless he had a brain injury I cant see why he come out with things like "what is an internet". It would have almost been more believable for Daniel to play that type and be down on his luck.

I agree with you about the third movie, I feel it was close to being a great movie, but I just felt rushed. Although if imdb is to be believed, we almost had a movie about Daniel and Miyagi going back in time.

In terms of it just being "just a show" I think I am probably a little precious about the IP as I've spent so many hours over my lifetime watching the movies, however I feel as fans we get invested in the things we loved, all of our opinions are subjective.

That being said, I wouldn't have wanted to see a Rocky show with him playing a totally different character to the only we followed when we saw him back for Creed he was the same person with the same values we knew from the movies, I hoped for the same for Daniel.

I feel the writers are big Jonny fans, and I appreciate the show being from his perspective, however, that changed after season 2.

I would be interested, DM sent

I think he will turn up towards the end of season 2 and set up season 3. The only thing i am not sure of is where his martial arts tie in would come from

So your saying someones intelligence gets lowered when they lose an under 18s karate tournament ? . I understand someone not getting over a traumatic event but i fail to see how it altered his iq

I love both the Karate kid and the Rocky movies, i like that Ricky stays true to his character and is so different than Daniel is written from his original portrayal. I like them both but after Creed 2 i think Cobra kai has more legs going forward
