Ralph Macchio writes of embracing his 'Karate Kid' persona

Another "star faded" book??..

Another "star faded" book??..

The Cobra Kai series is the most watched thing on Netflix. Maybe you should do research on what you're posting beforehand.

I just got Netflix a month or so back. After binging through Fuller House, I am now working on Better Call Saul and Cobra Kai. Both are pretty good.

Cobra Kai was surprisingly good for what I expected, the characters are now much more developed even if the story is still predictable and sometimes complicated unnecessarily. Still, not specially interested on the personal thoughts of Macchio about his character or the franchise, it is fun to see for me but not something to know about that deeply.

Let's be honest, Karate Kid II's Tamlyn Tomita was the catalyst behind the first influx of dorky male Japanophiles in the mid-1980s.

I loved that movie when I was a kid. Still do, in fact. And the sequel. Number three not so much. Really enjoying the show too. A fantastic piece of escapism full of shlock. William Zabka is killing it reprising the Johnny character. Although the latest season was a bit OTT I thought. Joe Esposito's You're the Best is a great pump up song.

Great point. Why someone would read something they don't want to, and then go even further to make a comment on that is odd.

Agree about Cobra Kai, and finally finished all the seasons. Some ups and downs, but a good way to spend down time.

It makes as much sense as reading a comment they don't want to and then commenting about that, the article is about the book, so it is perfectly fine to comment about it, even if the comment is about the lack of interest on it in spite of having an interest on the movies/show.

Several mistakes in that comment.

No one made the comment they didn't want to read a comment. But you made the comment you didn't want to read about what is the theme of the article, which is expressed vividly in the title.

So, strange you would state you were not interested in the thoughts of Macchio when you in fact read the article, which is about the thoughts of Macchio.

Beautiful morning today!

Several mistakes in that comment.

None at all, a comment criticizing another comment for not having an interest in the book is completely self defeating, there is no need to read either, and there is no need to comment about it either, which means they are both equally valid.

As with the original comment, there is nothing strange about commenting about the content of the article, including the movies, series and book, that is just your own personal bias about what you want to read or not, and the strange idea you have that everybody should only write what you want to read, that is not valid, it is just trying to force your opinion unto others.

Just stating a fact. No need to be so defensive.

Nothing defensive about it, just clarifying that it is the same thing, saying that nobody is forcing you to read another people comment would also be just stating a fact, why would be considered defensive to do it?

The article is about the book that deals about the series, that is about the movies, so there is nothing strange to say the movies and show were of my interest, but not the book.

I'd argue that me reading your comment posted in a public forum about an article that interests me is very different from you complaining about not wanting to read a book that you'd have to seek out and buy first.

Why is it so different? it is still the same fact nobody is being forced to read nor comment about it. I choose to comment about it in the same way you did.

If you like the films and the series fine, comment on them. But why rag on a book you haven't read?7

Because the topic is about the book? and how is saying I don't find the idea about the book interesting "rag" about it? do you think the only valid opinion is to find something interesting?
