Yeah, everybody wants to be the Karate Kid who binged karate studies in one montage and then won the tournament instead of training in the dojo for years and still having to cheat to come close to winning (and still failing) like the chumps at Cobra Kai.

Somehow I think you missed the lesson of that movie - if there is one. It's been a long time and I can't put it into words well, but I suspect it was about someone with character and humility vs brute force and cheating. Something like that, but far different from underdog find shortcut to success.
- moomin 2y agoI think Karate Kid must win the prize for the most diegetic analysis of the original text of all time.
- Pxtl 2y agoI know it's beside the point of the film, but it's still worth thinking of what it would be like to train for years and years on end at an infamously brutal school to be handily defeated by a kid with a few months of one-on-one mentorship.
