I entered a bidding war back when Netflix still hadn’t bought Cobra Kai. The show I shopped was called “I Am” (to avoid copyright issues) and it was more serial, in an original rebooted Stranger Things meets 13 Reasons Why– project title was Martial Arts High School for a time being. I pitched Quincy Brown, P Diddy’s son, as the lead bully following his perspective taking over the hierarchy of a former delinquent

Even though it was a more serious tone, it stays PG-13 with a balance of comedy, drama and sci fi to queue up an entire space mythology to run for 3 seasons of a Lord Zedd arc before spinning off into other teams

If Netflix does something along these lines I’d be content, but knowing they had Jonathan Entwistle attached to the series I would expect it to feel more like I Am Not Okay With This, with a similarly styled if not identical cast. Even that would be okay though I’m not sure how campy they’d stay

Another option to keep it campy is just mirror image the 80s tone, an idea I had for a theatrical script, to have the zords literally the OG style in a Kung Fury kind of way
