So I watched Cobra Kai. All of it actually. It was pretty quick, just the ten episodes. The first two were free on YouTube so I figured why not and the first episode was kind of awesome so I went with it. I don’t want to oversell this show, it’s not life changing or anything but much better than I thought it would be or that it should be. I am kind of negative on the general nostalgia that seems to dominate our culture these days but I am susceptible. I feel like too much nostalgia can poison not just art but the culture. I think nostalgia for things that never really happened is how we ended up with our current President. It allows people to rewrite the past and gets people stuck there. One of the things I appreciate about this show is how the two main characters are really poisoned by the past. Their nostalgia for 1986 is in a lot of ways ruining their lives. More obviously for some than others. Of course, that same read you could perhaps replace ideas of masculinity with nostalgia and it’s a similar thing. It’s good. It’s not groundbreaking but it is good. I liked it. So I am posting Hannah Kepple from it, who is a very small part but I thought she was pretty. She is a popular girl turned mean girl basically by peer pressure. I guess the power of Karate frees her from that, though I think she is just passing from one terrible person to another potentially. Anyway, this is really more about the show and that I thought she was really pretty. It appears to be the first thing she has ever been in. Good for her. Today I want to fuck Hannah Kepple.
