They've known each other for 40 years but they look like they just turned 40

Anyone else emotional on Billy and Ralph talking about how Pat is watching them with pride in a better place?

Their dynamic is like in the series, it comes naturally and that's why the show works so well.

Congratulations to all involved in Cobra Kai! What a marvelous show with lessons for everyone.

It makes me smile knowing that cast mates have kept in touch and for so long. I’ve heard that Zabka and all of the original 1984 Cobra Kai actors have been close friends since meeting on set.

Chozen and Terry Silver really made this season amazing

There will never be another series like this! It is so entertaining and full of life lessons for everyone from 7 to 77 years old! William Zabka and Ralph Macchio and the entire cast are absolutely brilliant! This is God sent! Cobra kai never dies!!!❤🔥

Billy being a huge fan of The Outsiders is somehow both a surprise and exactly what I expected

It makes sense to bring Hillary Swank back since Cobra Kai is bringing in a female sensei in Season 5. I predict Hillary Swank will show up in Season 6.

As an almost 54 year old, I watched the original in the cinema 40 years ago - so when the brought "Cobra Kai" back in 2018, it was to me such a blast from the past.

I loved how, in the first Season, then flipped the roles where Daniel was a bit of a shit where Johnny was the more down-to-Earth and chilled out character.

It would be fantastic if they made another movie. They deserve another pay-day.

[Starrytchi]

I stan William for knowing The Outsiders

[d.stiefel]

Wow! If they legitimately did another film that would be incredible. But I’m loving these streaming seasons, just wish they were longer. Such great stories being told!

I am very happy for these guys and everyone involved 😊

We needed more Mike Barnes. He was a great addition that didn't get enough screen time IMO.

[lisabarrett]

👍👍they are so brilliant Ralph macchio and william zabka

[Meditation]

Kobra Kai opened up a huge massive door to an entire new generation of fans as well as us original fans. Its like Led Zeppelin stumbling onto something that became much bigger than they realized and anything they could have ever imagined. 😍

Old school talent coming back and done right like Cobra Kai is way better viewing content than all of the milenial rubbish being created lately. Let's hope for another movie, these guys are awesome.
