Hello!
I’m a huge fan of Cobra Kai, but there are some bits I find hold it back. This will not be a super heavy edit, just minor changes here and there.
My goal for this edit is to trim:
Flashbacks (to the original trilogy and scenes of previous episodes)
Comedic Relief Characters (Louie, Anoush, Stingray, Brucks, etc.)
Product Placements (only if they are a point of focus or forced-feeling)
Cringey Scenes or Lines (obviously subjective, but maybe you’ll find them good cuts too!)
I plan to keep adding clips here as I continue to make cuts.
I will be making 3 versions of each season.
v1 - workprint cuts
v2 - finalizing cuts, Fanedit.org intro card, brand new credits, hardcoded subs for Spanish
v3 - full release
