Netflix’s ‘Cobra Kai’ is a treat for any fan of ‘The Karate Kid’ or 80s movies in general. This time, the story focuses on Johnny, our “bad guy” from the original as he reopens Cobra Kai and starts taking in high school kids to teach karate to. The series is a love letter for fans of the original films and gives an interesting perspective to both of the main characters of Johnny and Daniel.
However, if you’re already watching or interested in how it fits in with the films, watch the video below. It explains how the timelines fit together and was uploaded with the following description,
“You know Daniel LaRusso. You know Mr. Miyagi. You know Johnny Lawrence. And you know that, even after all this time, The Karate Kid is a bona fide classic. But do you know the whole story? Cobra Kai is a treat for Karate Kid fans, but it’s also accessible to newcomers, thanks to the frequent use of flashbacks, which replay scenes from the original Karate Kid movies. Still, you’ll get much more out of Cobra Kai if you understand the surprisingly complex Karate Kid timeline. Whether you’ve seen the movies before and need a quick refresher or if you want a crash course so you can jump straight to Cobra Kai, here’s what you need to know.”

This is how they should be made in my opinion, not remakes, not reboots, just continue the story and introduce new characters. They may have missed a few events and excluded ‘The Next Karate Kid’, but the timeline worked pretty well.
