donât know the words to explain properly but part 3 of ck was so incredibly bad and just so rushed.
it didnât feel like a series finale to the show. it just felt like the end of a season or a âtoo be continuedâ or a ânext timeâ
i enjoyed the fights in this part, samtory, keenry.. thatâs all i think.
so, gonna just quickly talk about the things i had an issue with:
i donât think the sekai taikai should have continued into part 3, or it shouldâve been done differently. like a kid died.
continuing on a kid dying, itâs a month skip and none of the teens show any signs of trauma or caring that kwon died?
i went in dead set on thinking that theyâd be having issues with seeing someone die and heâs just not mentioned, and they just wanted to continue the tournament no questions asked ⌠weird
tory and johnny have no idea that kreese had passed away :(
no core four goodbye scene? what do you mean sam is off to okinawa with miguel, did robby and tory even manage to say goodbye to them?
devon and kenny having zero lines was actually crazy lol. also, tory and devon having a mentor and mentee relationship thing same with robby and kenny and there were zero scenes with them
we know tory and robby obviously were talking and had a reconciliation but we only saw them talk in episode 13.. why are they having conversations off screen
it way way too adult focused sue me. iâm aware that AMA said that part 3 was more adult oriented but baby i was not ready for how much lol.
see what happens when you have a big cast, try to fit shit into 5 episodes each not going over an hour.. ?? a mess happens
no graduation scene
no reactions to tory and robbyâs career
tory not saying ily back to robby
like.. are they serious bruh. and iâve said this so many times but it all boils down to having shitty writing. and the fact that there shouldâve been 20+ episodes in a season with over and hour run time and better writers
cause youâre telling me that, THAT was the ending? ok.
ok this is my hyperfixation for the next 15 years
been thinking about tory and her little brother recently since the release of part 3
it wouldâve been so heartwarming to see her little brother there at the valley. cheering her on and seeing her win
itâs just insane how much the writers completely dropped the ball with tory and brandon. and how they claimed that he wasnât that important
toryâs mother passed away, no dad, junkie aunt. so brandon was the only person of significance in toryâs family. so itâs just crazy that we saw him one time in season 3 and heâs barely been mentioned after that
in the scenes with tory at home in part 3 they couldnât just sneak him in somewhere?
thatâs just crazy to me lol
said this once iâll say it again, toryâs little brother shouldnât have been cannon if this is how they were gonna treat him. they were better off just making tory an only child instead.
because.. this is just insane to me lol.
if brandon was of significance and important to the story + toryâs storyline, that wouldâve been amazing lol. i wouldâve literally ate up tory and brandon relationship content.
but..đ¤ˇââď¸ i guess.
rip brandon nichols u had so much potential

robby being so heartbroken and off balance due to no longer having tory and screwing up the tournament that he drinks, possibly for the first time and getting extremely drunk

School Spirits 2x04 "A Walk-In To Remember"
i think iâm in the minority here but i donât think mr martin is this evil bad guy..
yes i do think heâs fucked up, betrayed them but i do feel like heâs a morally gray character, and has made a lot of mistakes with the intention of being good?
but god the guy is pissing me off each episode, from randomly disappearing and then just appearing and now heâs jumped into someoneâs body? like sir, what are you up to and what is your plan..
i do think heâs jumped into mr andersonâs body. mr anderson was shown to be in emotinal distress this episode. giving mr martin perfect opportunity to jump into his body.
he (mr martin) is gonna try to get closer to sandra in order to get closer to janet. i donât know what his plan is from there though. janet is clearly dangerous, he knows that..
ughhh i need the next episodes now !!
xavier and simon weren't really the duo I thought I needed, not by a long shot, but their trust exercise in ep4 really sealed the deal for me. like yes thank you actually I do need more moments with simon being too stressed out and xavier being the shrug emoji about it. they balance each other so well, it's hilarious.
school spirits, season 2 episode 4 "a walk-in to remember"
close-ups:
I'm going to be soo honest with you gang, whenever nicole and xavier's relationship is highlighted in any way shape or form I DO start yawning. like I'm sorry but I really don't give a singular fuck about them talking online to people but oh lol wait it's actually each other!! either make nicole and claire gay for each other or get out of my face.
whichever writer came up with wallys hellscape me and you need to have a longggg chat.
omg watching that was quite literally devastating? like what do you mean wally just watched himself die like that âŚ
getting shouted at by his mother and coach, feeling the pressure of them plus the crowd
and then his neck just snapped. also, that sound was horrible. please never play that againđ
wally, my shaylađđ felt horrible for him. just going through it this episode.
the problem with making axel and zara too overpowered (OP) in part 2 of cobra kai.
going into part 2 my biggest worry was that they were going to make axel and zara too OP- like never losing a fight in the tournament, and unfortunately thatâs exactly what happened.
the issue with making them too OP is that it messes with the balance of our existing characters. when you introduce new characters and have them win every fight without losing not even one it cheapens the tournament and it also screws over our existing characters.
axel and zara could have been strong, shown as threatening without the need to make them bulldoze throughout all of their matches.
by never letting them lose, it sets up absolute annoying and ridiculous discourse like this:
âit doesnât make sense for this person to beat this personâ
âthey were nerfedâ
âthey only won because of plot armourâ
and letâs be honest. the âplot armourâ discourse is fucking stupid. every character in the show has plot to some extent. if they didnât, they wouldnât have made it this far in the show. but also, why would they have 2 characters who were introduced in part 2 of the last season win over sam, miguel and robby who have been here since season 1 and tory who has been here since season 2. that literally wouldnât make any sense.
moving on, if our existing characters had lost to the new characters that wouldnât been fine. like that is not the issue here. the issue is that axel and zara completely dominated the tournament. it should have been balanced.
axel and zara should have been shown to be beatable by actually losing matches in the tournament. and if the writers didnât want them losing matches, the least they couldâve down was allow them to take hits in their matches. hereâs how:
1. zara vs another competitor in different dojo (like tiger strike or redentores) in an early round OR vs tory or sam | let zara lose a match to one of them but come back stronger later in the tournament, showing she can adapt easy from a loss.
2. axel vs competitor | have axel lose a match against the competitor in a very close match, only after giving the person he is fighting against a really tough time, pushing his competitor to his limits.
3. injures and exhaustion playing a role here | show them both struggling with fatigue, and having minor injuries, proving that they arenât fucking invincible and the tournament is tough for everyone involved.
but instead, we got axel and zara just bulldozing their way through the tournament like it was nothing. the big brawl too. in the big brawl, no one landed a hit on axel. zara beat tory in the opening fight with cobra kai vs iron dragons and in the big brawl tory only managed to land one kick on zara before zara regained control. itâs sooo frustrating that they were made out to be so untouchable and invincible.
what makes this worse is learning that choreography was cut that actually showed them both taking hits. iâve posted this on my blog here a bit ago but there was choreo cut in which tory was getting the upper hand on zara but that didnât make the cut.
zara was also supposed to take hits in the semi finals against maria. this comes from the woman who plays maria (jewels) in an interview on youtube.
and axel was also meant to take hits from kwon in the big brawl. this also came from an interview with brandon who plays kwon.
like.. thatâs still not ideal but itâs at least better than making them untouchable.
this has been sitting in my drafts for a while now and iâm posting this ahead of part 3 since that drops in a few days, also the fact that we know someone is gonna be beating axel and zara in the sekai taikai.
i canât believe i have to sit through âaxel/zara was nerfedâ and âit doesnât make sense for zara/axel to loose to..â â⌠beating axel/zara is unrealisticâ
like dude cobra kai was never a realistic show in the first place, donât piss me off. âin reality this character would winâ no shit dude. like that argument is so stupid and irrelevant. like thank you so much for pointing out the obvious ??
as if those people who say this arenât insufferable enough theyâre gonna be even more insufferable now that theyâve basically been given the ammo to say all of this shit.
like iâm truly so annoyed about it, but hey. what can you doooo?
cobra kai writers you had ONE JOB! ONE!
big big sigh.
So minimal school spirits fandom that I now know exists, what do we think about the theory that this whole thing started bc of a science experiment gone wrong?
(I could be misremembering here so correct me if I am) Mr. Martin and Janet died in a fire in what is now the fallout shelter, and in one of the articles they found another student in the class was blaming Mr. Martin for starting the fire and bringing Janet in there with him.
what if
stay with me here
what if, they were doing some kind of research experiment together (hence the chemical formulas in the beginning of Janet's notebook, and the shorthand) that went wrong, and what they'd done of that experiment plus them dying in the room in the fire with it, trapped their souls there.
which raises the question, when Mr. Martin locked her in that room, was it with the watch? was she experiencing that freaking red room thing relieving that day over and over for months? is that what they were arguing about right before Maddie found them? was he making her relive that to try and figure out where the mistake was in their experiment, because he wanted to try and redo or reverse it and that's why Mr. Martin was trying to force her to tell him what she saw?
as far as we know date wise Janet and Mr. Martin are the oldest ghosts, they've been there longest, they could very well be the start of it all.

SCHOOL SPIRITS (2023-) S02E02âField of Screams
wondering if janet is a different type of ghost to the others.. because why is it that when all the other ghosts pick stuff up, it resets.
but with janet, it doesnât?
when wally broke that vase that janet made they had to clean that up.
so either a different type of ghost, or two other things.
one thing being that janet discovered a loophole on how to not have things reset when she picks it up. probably through countless experiments
i feel like there might be rules based on each ghost about how you die and how it happens? pretty much everyone their apart from maddie has passed away in some freak accident.
we know janet and mr martin both died in a fire, but hear me out on this.. is the reason why janet can somehow pick objects up and they donât reset beachâs she had something to do with the âfireâ she died in?
thatâs just a theory, in hindsight it seems a bit ridiculous so iâm gonna stick with the fact that she was probably conducting experiments and discovered a loophole somehow.
who knows atp, but iâm loving making up theories while waiting for next episodes!
we waited that long for a trailer that was 90% flashbacks and 10% sekai taikai and other things.
alrighty then i guess ⌠? đ
all that trailer really did is confirm multiple leaks. *sigh*
still seated for february 13th though.
cheat on that blonde bitch and itâs gone cost ya!
theyâre trying to set up nicole and xavier (NO!) for multiple reasons and claire and diego. iâm not here for that, at all.
1 reason why i donât want nicole and xavier is because she essentially would be dating her missing best friends ex and if i was maddie i donât think i would want my friend dating my ex who cheated on me.
specifically because like . wtf??? no one would want that. also how nicole lashed out on him in season 1 for cheating on maddie. like cmon now.
the main reason why i donât want those two is because iâm here forth pushing the agenda of nicole x claire. deadass thought they were setting them up to be a thing??
immediate buzz whenever they would pop up on screen together. I WANT THEM TOGETHER!!!! need to see it happen. like plsđđ
