What will be interesting is how they will use Mike Barnes. In a recent article in Page Six, it was reported that during an interview with FanRoom Live, when asked, 'What's the future hold for Mike Barnes?' Kanan responded, "If I were to guess you haven't seen the last of Mike Barnes." Additionally, in a recent interview with the Desert Sun in January of this year, Sean said the following, "I think would like to work everybody in.I think there's a definite possibility, but I can neither confirm nor deny." That's Hollywood double speak for, 'of course I'm in but I just can't say it.' Even without these subtle admissions and his training videos that now populate his twitter account, the progression of the show simply calls for it. How perfect would it be to see the conversation Daniel had with daughter Samantha about the paralyzing fear she was experiencing with Tori, to his own terror of Mike Barnes, become tangible in Mike Barnes' return.
We also believed him too because he proved it on several encounters with Daniel leading up to the big showdown. That creepy wide-eyed look he always seemed to have made his "your Karate's a joke LaRusso" even the more intimidating and we loved to hate him. In Karate Kid lore, Mike Barnes is considered the best fighter of Daniels' many antagonists and was a national tournament champion, an accomplishment that goes beyond the Under 18 All Valley Tournament that Daniel and Johnny frequented. With Cobra Kai season 3 offering us a more thorough backstory to John Kreese and his relationship to Terry Silver, we know the sociopathic President of Dynatox Industries and main antagonist in Karate Kid III, can't be long for a return which then brings us to the other big bad of the Karate Kid tale, Mike Barnes.Īnother great casting choice many years ago was the introduction of Sean Kanan who played 'Karate's Bad Boy' Mike Barnes.

Who could have ever predicted that the Youtube Red streamed show would be picked up by Netflix and rival Bridgerton as the most watched streaming show on TV only a few years later? That's a rhetorical question because the answer is nobody. If you are a child of the new century take heart because in 2018 the Karate Kid saga pulled its proverbial head out of the sand and began a sequel to the predecessors of almost 30 years in the form of Cobra Kai. It also presented us how one can use an outlet such as music, art.or in this case Karate, to both interact with and gain wisdom from, these same life lessons as we must do to truly live our best lives.
#COBRA KAI OR MIYAGI DO SERIES#
The original series spanned five years and three movies and introduced us to real life themes such as relationships, courage, fear, and love, not necessarily in that order.
If you were a child of the 80s you were introduced to the satisfying trilogy that is the Karate Kid saga which saw the trials of a skinny kid from Jersey use Karate, taught by Sage and Maintenance Man Mr.
