Solid second part of the season. Overall I really enjoyed it, and I’m glad to see that they actually filmed scenes in Barcelona and didn’t do what I assumed they would and just show some aerial shots of the city juxtaposed with a bunch of scenes of the actors in a gym. Granted, MOST of the scenes are in a gym or the hotel but at least they did take advantage of one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.
Random thoughts… (SPOILERS AHEAD)
Lewis Tan was really good here and I wish they would have allowed him to display some of that cocky attitude or fighting skill or SOMETHING in Mortal Kombat. Maybe if he acts a bit more like his character here, I won’t be rooting for him to die in MK2. Maybe.
So great to see Terry Silver return and they even did a callback to his infamous bathtub scene. I was hoping he would come back because he really feels like the ultimate villain of this series.
I got so sick of Robbie losing his ability to fight any time he… looks at Tory? Like dude, how are you this unfocused? But I have to admit I was cheering when he finally beat the pulp out of that annoying dude with the Kate Gosslin haircut.
Speaking of annoying characters, I need Robbie and Miguel and Sam to team up and take down Frankincel. I know he kind of helped them at the very end against hair guy but he was a straight-up creepy stalker towards Sam for a while there. Frankincel needs to get his ass kicked.
Chozen is such a fun character and liked him getting together with the other Cobra Kai sensei.
I don’t mind another actor playing a young Miyagi (I thought he did okay) but did we really have to go creepy deepfake Miyagi at the end? That looked horrible.
Lastly, that brawl was insane. I don’t know what will happen from here, especially with how it ended. This show always goes a little nuts at the end but I don’t know how they even have a tournament after that, especially with how it ended.
