The Karate Kid Review: Cobra Kai Gave Me Courage to Watch Original Movie
Whenever I watch a movie involving an Asian character set anytime before the 2000s, I get a little worried. It's been a long road for Asian representation in media and entertainment, but sometimes looking into the past can be painful.
RELATED: Ralph Macchio on the Future of 'Cobra Kai' and Revisiting 'The Karate Kid's Biggest Moments in His New Book 'Waxing On' Mr. Miyagi Was the Stand-Out Character It was surprising what stood out to me from the perspective of a person who had seen all of Cobra Kai. Scenes With Daniel and Ali felt like filler, it was cute but ultimately of no consequence. Meanwhile, the heart of the movie was really about Daniel and Mr. Miyagi. Even Johnny, who plays such a large role in the show, felt like a very small part of the movie.
These moments looking into Miyagi's life not as a teacher or guide to Daniel, but as an Asian American man struggling with the trauma of the past and his own identity. This is a man who fought for a country that put American citizens into concentration camps and looked at them like the enemy, lost everything, and still managed to keep it together. He's been othered, he's spent his life grieving, and he sees in Daniel the son he never had.
