“Season 1 episodes seemed decent. They seemed to stay on topic mostly and examine each episode decently. While it doesn’t surprise me that people who’d be into this show would have the life outlook they do and who Johnny is in the show is really who I believe this character would’ve become, the podcasters need to remember this is the 20-teens / 2020s. Re: Season 2, Ep. 1 in the diner, women have been putting up with unacceptable advances / comments from men for years. The waitress had every right to not be ok with Kreese’s behavior. Or the comments about how Daniel has his wife and Johnny needs a ‘good woman’ behind him. Let boys be boys is long overdue to be done. You definitely need to look at this approach to women through a modern day view. Remember, the initial altercation btw. Johnny and Daniel was because of a girl, Ali. And the point should be that they eventually learn something from this / learn to be their own people, not treat women like property. The best thing for you as podcasters (and Daniel and Johnny as characters) is to evolve in your thinking about how you treat women. Mental / physical strength and discipline and standing up to bullies are key themes of this show, yet the idea about how to treat women has a core place in this universe as well. I don’t know if you discuss this differently in future episodes, yet it seemed important to mention as you think about how you approach talking about the Cobra Kai show.”
