Look, I'm all about a good re-boot.

And I'm all about "The Karate Kid." I was a young teenager when it came out and all of us LOVED that movie, thought Ralph Macchio was cool, his move that ended it, and...Elisabeth Shue. <g> I mentioned I was a teenage boy then, right?

Look, I even enjoyed the re-make with Jaden Smith (Will Smith's kid) in 2010

BUT...enough's enough. Do we REALLY need this new series on YouTube Red, "Cobra Kai?" It apparently involves the original two characters that fought at the end of the original-as adults (pictured above). I'll remain open-minded, but I gotta tell you, my "This is Crap!" meter is starting to go off.
