Cobra Kai Saved Mr. Miyagi’s Karate Kid Legacy After 30 Years Of Bad Movies

30 years of bad Karate Kid movies tainted Mr. Miyagi’s legacy, but Cobra Kai has saved it by reigniting the essence of the karate master’s teachings. The first two Karate Kid movies played a crucial role in establishing Mr. Miyagi’s legacy. By highlighting how he is levels above other characters not only in terms of karate skills but wisdom as well, the two movies showed how he is a shining example of what younger characters like Daniel LaRusso should strive to be. His lessons on discipline, humility, respect, and balance extended well beyond the boundaries of the Miyagi Do dojo, helping Danny establish more control over his anger.
