I just finished season 2. What new black girl are you referring to? The other girl, Tory, is just a straight out pyschopath (and apparently related to Ali somehow). To me season 2 was more about how Kreese came back and screwed things over for Johnny. And that school brawl at the end was insane.
To elaborate on Salinger's opinion, season 2 became more libtard because it was pushing an overall message of "toxic masculinity" being the real evil behind everyone's troubles on top of various SJWism tropes like the female characters being hyper competent, the two most masculine characters Hawk and Kreese are villianized and humiliated, and a brief normalization of homosexuality via Hawk's girlfriend becoming a lesbian.
I'll give give you the lesbian nonsense. That really had no place in the show. But Hawk is an asshole. He's not masculine at all. He became what he hated in the first place, a bully. I grew up with a few Hawk's as a kid. Most of them ended up being losers in life. There is nothing admirable about them at all. That is what Kreese doesn't get. What he is teaching is just garbage. Kreese himself was a loser in life; no friends, no family, homeless. All Kreese knows is war and he cannot function in peacetime. Maybe he did get all screwed up fighting in Vietnam. They could have explored that aspect a bit more.
Thats the problem, they wrote Hawk in a one dimensional way, because when betas write alpha characters, they always make them into violent sociopaths like Biff Tannen. They did the same thing to Kreese because they had to make the most masculine red pill character of the show into a symbol of hate and toxicity while giving him a humiliating backstory on top of it, I could feel the contempt for his character by the beta writers who were prob bullied by alphas when they were teens.
To me Miguel and Hawk were setup as contrasts, to show how different two kids can turn out under the same teachings. Both kids were seen as losers, weak, and nerds at school. Miguel started to become like Hawk but Miguel had a moment of self reflection and looked at himself in the mirror and realized he, too, was becoming a bully. And he didn't want that. That is being red-pill. But this also could be a be failure on Johnny's part as well. Both Miguel and Hawk were fatherless. Johnny spent a lot of time with Miguel. They hung out away from class. Johnny became a father figure to Miguel. Johnny didn't do this with Hawk. Hawk only absorbed the fighting aspect and nothing more. After Hawk was disqualified in the All Valley Tournament Johnny should have sat down with Hawk and had a long talk with Hawk. But Johnny apparently didn't do that.
I think in today's climate, we need more bullies and Cobra Kai dojos.
Thats the problem I have with the show, its either you're a violent sociopath or a beta cuck. I really don't think the conclusion is going to be anything redpill.
