I am looking at cobra kai episodes for the first time in a few months in order to do a video and I cannot
believe
that johnny gets back with carmen at the end of s4ep3 off the back of sam essentially telling him to do something with his life
and the VERY NEXT TIME WE SEE THEM TOGETHER in early s4ep4 he’s failing to have sex with her because he’s thinking about daniel/top gun/val kilmer’s “abs for days”
they don’t even get to have a scene in between that establishing that things are going well between them or that they enjoy each others company it’s just
“hey, I know you said to take things slow because I was hanging out with my ex girlfriend from highschool whom I’ve had on a pedestal for 35 years right after we had a something going on and I have the emotional maturity of a bag of flour, and jumping from that to “I love you” is a wild fucking leap, but I’m getting older and here’s a bunch of platitudes, wanna try it anyway?”
to
“I’m sorry we can’t have sex, I’m too busy thinking about Men”
(RIP carmen, I’m trying so hard to give you an inner life and they keep doing this to you, I literally can only imagine that you’re afraid of being alone because your son is going away to college soon, but you can do so much better 😭😭😭)
i have an au where johnny and danny get together in 2008 and its very fun especially because johnny looks like zabka did at the start of the sweep the leg video and everyone around him Hates it
