Loved: The Finale – Karate Kid: Endgame
They did it. Those sons of a bitch did it. Cobra Kai’s season 5 finale did the impossible, bringing the villains from Karate Kid 1, 2 and 3 together to team up with Daniel (Ralph Macchio) to face off against the ultimate villain, Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffin). It was Karate Kid: Endgame! And then, as that epic fight was taking place, it was intercut with every single one of the students having an equally epic brawl, all of which lead to the ultimate showdown: Daniel and Terry, one and one. Finally.
Truly, the finale of season 5 was the best episode of Cobra Kai ever. The culmination of every Karate Kid fan’s dreams. Top to bottom action, suspense, character development, all while pushing the narrative to new and surprising places. Plus it started with Kreese (Martin Kove) “dying” only for him to escape prison at the end? Holy crap. Every second of it was amazing.
