      Replying to @Gr8SageEqlofHvn @Czhorat @arthur_affect

      Yeah, it's a "sequel" to Karate Kid in the same sense that, I dunno, I'm out of metaphors, but the whole point is to build these characters and give them complexity (without necessarily changing their fundamental nature from the film) and show what happens after the montages

      Like, Johnny isn't so humiliated that he just slinks away and dies after his second defeat, but he also doesn't "learn his lesson" and shape up (until the show at least). And Danny doesn't actually remember that Mr. Miyagi was teaching more than just karate

      My one big maudlin take on this show is they could only do it after Pat Morita died because the point of it is Mr. Miyagi was one-of-a-kind and after he passes there's no one else like him in the world

      Danny is trying to live up to him and be the new Mr. Miyagi for the next generation and learning that's not as easy as he thought it'd be

      (The scene that elevates the original Karate Kid beyond cliche is giving Miyagi just a hint of those hidden depths, that he had a dark past with its own share of trauma and failure before he became the serene old man we see today)

      Then his dad got killed by some hit-and-run driver when he was in his early 20s and it derailed his life forcing him to stay at home and help his mom keep the family restaurant afloat

      It's funny and ironic that he ended up playing this serene elder figure (who was 10-20 years older than he was irl) in The Karate Kid His original entry into showbiz as a standup comedian was full of bitter snark and irony

          ISTR that he said he approached playing Mr. Miyagi as playing an idealized version of his childhood memories of his father Miyagi's backstory of having left his family behind in the camps to enlist in the US military was something he insisted on putting in

          The story of how he changed his name from Noriyuki Morita to "Pat Morita" as a stage name because of a Catholic priest at the sanitorium who joked about christening him "Patrick" if he ever converted has some baggage, manhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuYxG_q_I38 …
