We live in a time where intellectual properties have apparently become like comic book heroes, and it is not Uncle Ben, but apparently, only Firefly that stays dead. The latest loved cultural icon to get a revival in 2018 is The Karate Kid, this time in the form of a TV show on YouTube Red – and to the surprise of absolutely everyone, it got both positive reviews and was successful enough to get a second season.
It was like the universe aligned in order to make this show exist. Our new-found obsession with 80’s nostalgia through streaming shows, Ralph Macchio’s acceptance of his iconic role and recent tour of comic conventions, William Zabka appearing as himself on How I Met Your Mother sparking hot takes on why Daniel LaRusso is actually the bully and Johnny a misunderstood hero. Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald created a show that feels just like watching the original 1984 movie, yet unlike anything you’ve seen before.
