Love, love, love Cobra Kai. Man.... I was hoping it would be pretty good in a fun way when I saw the first trailer for the show a couple of years ago. You know, where you know it's not great television, but it's a fun time with characters you loved? The 90210 reboot/relaunch thing was that, for example. It was 6 episodes of fun times with actors playing versions of themselves trying to get a 90210 reboot together, and because I was 10 when 90210 debuted in 1990, I am the No. 1 target for them. I had fun watching those 6 episodes and I'd love to see more, but as fun as it was it wasn't great television. I believe Cobra Kai is great. Cobra Kai didn't just provide fun. It provided pathos and upended expectations in a way that was brilliant. It's amazing you mention Stranger Things along with it Drew, because I feel about CK the same way I feel about ST.
I'm all-in on Keaton coming back as an older Bruce Wayne, and while I agree with what you say Drew, I'm all-in on Flashpoint. The nature of Flashpoint allows DC to largely reset the main film universe without erasing what went before in the same way Ezra Miller's cameo during this CW season's Crisis on Infinite Earths showed that all these worlds are or have happened. All these DC movies or DC-related movies happened and they're connected through the multi-verse. The Reeves-Routh Superman happened. The 1990 Flash TV Show happened and those characters went on to live and have adventures for 30 more years. Smallville, probably even the amazing Animated Series... it's all part of the multi-verse. I think it gives DC amazing story-telling capabilities. I just hope they use them well and remember to bring hope to balance the darkness.
"Nolan fans are both very dedicated and uber-serious, a delightful cross-section to try to deal with reasonably." I count myself a fan of Nolan and his films but this is so damn true.
Any other time I'd be up for doing a run of his films once a week on the big screen in order from start to finish, but right now? Hell no.
With Netflix behind it I think it'll take off like a rocket, great show. William Zbaka man...and Martin Kove...I see Emmy nominations. They're that good.
And the whole Nolan thing...bad idea! He will become the posterboy for increased cases. Infections are going up. We are still in the 1st phase of this viral beast. I love his movies but there is no way in hell I'm going to risk my life for a Hollywood blockbuster. Postpone. Postpone. Postpone. Do. The. Right. Thing.
