I forgot to mention this but I want yall to know I got something NASHTY planned for the Binary Bros in Season 3
WE BACK IN THIS HOE
Yall know what it is. What if Cobra Kai was or had a Musical? Well, this is what I think a couple of the songs in Season 2 would be like.
I was a little confused on what the first song should be but then it came to me. It starts as basically a celebration song between Miguel, Aisha, Hawk, and the rest of the cobras about how they won, they’re badass and all that. It’s trumpet heavy, with some guitars and drums. And then halfway through the song, Johnny cuts in and changes the whole vibe, talking about how they won unfairly, and admonishing them for their dishonorable tactics and cheap moves. His lines would be cold, strict and the music behind it would be mostly drums and perhaps a few trumpets, etc etc. Not quite sure of a name for it, ngl.
I try to think of at least one song for each episode in a season, but I’m drawing a blank on Episode 2. Hmmm. I guess a reprise of Pain is Power while the students are training in the cement mixer, sung by Johnny and Kreese.
Then, another Johnny song, wow, I’m really giving this man a lot of screentime, ion even like this guy. Anyway, it’s him explaining all of the Keene-Lawrence lore to Miguel, telling him about how he was never there for Robby because he could never build up the courage, and by the time he did, it was far too late. It would be uncharacteristically sullen, with a background track composed of violins, flutes, piano, etc. I think the song should be called Fall Again, and in the feel of the lyrics, I think it would be a lot like Die Together by Fabvl, primarily the chorus.
Episode 4 doesn’t get a song because I can’t think of one rip.
Next, maybe a short sonata during the Eli flashback at the start of the episode about how much of a fucking loser everyone thinks he is, ending with Hawk saying the last words in the present day. It’d be about a minute long, wouldn’t take up too much time. No idea what to call it, ngl.
Next, a dramatic ass song from Daniel about him admonishing Johnny for the vandalism of Miyagi Do, starting with pure accusations towards him and his dojo, and then him lecturing the students about the true nature of Cobra Kai, which results in half of the leaving as in canon, It would be exactly like Mastermind from the newest episode of Helluva Boss, well, not ‘exactly’, but like, the same genre and feel. I’d call it Too Far.
I REALLY want to put a Kreese solo here in Episode 6, but I feel like that should wait until Season 3 since that’s the season where he’s the sole and biggest antagonist. So instead, I’m going to have a song with Johnny’s three friends on their road trip. After Johnny brings up how he brought the dojo back and allowed Kreese to put his grubby little hands on it, each of the friends launches into a musical number about how their lives went downhill after Cobra Kai and all the bullshit it put in their brains. Tommy’s section at the end would be especially passionate, all of this would really put some doubt in Johnny’s mind. No clue what I’d call it lmao, I’m sorry-
Next up, a song between Miguel and Hawk. It’s a song-rap battle type deal, think Fight of Our Lives from Descendants Rise of Red except significantly less cringe. So basically It’s Goin’ Down. It’s starts when Hawk reveals that he did all the vandalism and stole the medal, and it’s an argument that conveys that Miguel leans to Johnny and Hawk leans to Kreese. Hawk calls himself a revolutionary while Miguel calls him a criminal. …yeah I don’t have a name for this one either, I’m SORRY-
And then, a Robby and Sam love duet. Now, I do feel bad about giving Robby and Sam a duet like this and not Tory and Miguel (which is honestly just because I have no idea where to put it), but I think it works because imo Robby and Sam’s relationship was way more genuine and interesting than Tory and Miguel’s. I think Tory and Miguel got together just because the other was there. Anyway, this would be a short bop, in the same vein as Meant to Combine from Zombies the PEAKanimated series. I’d probably call it Sugar and Spice, because they go together like, well, Sugar and Spice. Also to show how Sam’s from a good place and a sweetheart (Sugar), and how Robby’s rough around the edges because he’s from a bad life (Spice).
Then a short Daniel and Amanda duet, mostly of their reconciliation, I’d take inspiration from ‘Wouldn’t Change A Thing’ from Camp Rock 2 (I think it was 2, I’m not sure). It’s mainly about Amanda talking about how the company’s going under because of Daniel’s obsession and Daniel opening up about the trauma and pain he faced at the hands of Cobra Kai and how he wants to stop them before they hurt other kids. But in the end, they resolve to come to a compromise. Calling it Priorities, because, well, that’s what it’s mostly about.
For the next song, I’m thinking maybe a Johnny Daniel duet? About the stories of their past or something? It could take place when they’re all at the Mexican restaurant and Amanda and Carmen go to the bathroom. Honestly, not sure of this at all, I just wanted a song for the events of Episode 9 (and to prepare for the emotional sniper shot the next song is going to be).
Up next, Robby solo. Taking place after Daniel banishes him for the second time. It’s an emotional, orchestral solo about how Robby has been being abandoned and cast away his entire life, and how he thought he was finally in a place where he was valued, cared for, even loved, but then it all got ripped away from him like all the times before. You know how in all musical, there’s always one singer that’s just unabashedly a better vocalist than everyone else? I imagine that’s what Robby’s actor would be. So this one would just hurt to listen to, but also be heat. Think Waiting in the Wings from Tangled The Series. Actually, it’s EXACTLY like Waiting in the Wings from Tangled the Series. Legit can’t think of a better basis for this song. Maybe some Everything I Ever Thought I Knew from the same series. I’d probably call it Clockwork because of how he feels like everything’s repeating.
And then the finale song, taking place during the school fight. It’s absolute pandemonium with harmonies, clashing lyrics, all kinds of lyrics, each main teen rivalry would get a verse, it would be insane. First starting with Miguel and Robby’s lyrics, basically insulting each other about their places with Sam and Johnny respectively, Miguel takes cheap shots at Robby about how his father gave him up, weaponizing the information he learned in Fall Again, but then Robby claps back about how Miguel basically fucked over his own relationship with Sam.
And then Hawk and Demetri, it’s a Hawk heavy segment of him hunting Demetri down, talking about how he can’t run forever and how he’s going to get what’s coming to him, mocking Demetri about his philosophy, maybe calling back to Under the Radar and Flip the Script.
And finally, Sam and Tory, I would have Tory call Sam a Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing and tell her that karma’s come to collect her debt (only peak enjoyers know that reference). Tory heavy segment, very bitter, angry instrumental. And then when Hawk and Tory have Sam and Demetri on the back foot, Sam and Demetri launch into a sort of duet, reiterating Daniel’s teachings as they use their Miyagi-Do techniques to take down their aggressors.
But then when it comes to Miguel and Robby, it’s way different, because it’s actually pure action until Miguel has Robby on the ground, and then Miguel apologizes. And that’s when Robby gets pissed, attacking Miguel as he wrathfully sings about how it’s dumb that Miguel thinks a sorry is supposed to erase everything. He’s blinded by rage until he accidentally kicks Miguel off of the railing.
And then Miguel gets a slow, soft version of the chorus, sung as he falls down the rail and his thoughts slow down to reflect on every action that got him to this point. It’s sullen until he’s cut off by the sound of his spine breaking on the stair rail. The screen cuts to black. And then Miguel sings the last words as the camera fades to him laying on the ground, blood pooling from his mouth.
“From here~”
Okay, yeah, I think I cooked with that last one. Anyways, just like last time, feel free to suggest names and other songs you think could fit in. But overall, I hope you all enjoy.
Guys, Chapter 4 is 30 pages and it’s not even done yet😭
If they’re deadass doing the dance, I will shut up about Season 6 Part 2 for at least a year
Are they doing the binary brothers dance?
Audrey was really gagging everybody in D3.
“What are you doing with the scepter?”
“I wanted them so I took them, you of all people should understand that.”
Gagged.
“Wait, Audrey! Don’t use that!”
“What? I thought you liked spells.”
Gagged.
“Did someone curse you? Just tell me and I’ll-“
“What? You’ll marry them?”
Gagged.
I know the opinion of Audrey in the Descendants fandom is split, but I honestly love her and her villain arc was awesome.
I can't think of any jokes for Episode 6, this one might be the least funny one so far
PFFT-
Hawk and Demetri, making up and shit:
Robby, leaning to Sam: Oh my god, I thought they were gonna kiss.
Sam: What? That is an absolutely wild thing to thi-me too.
E-X-ACTLY🗣️‼️
If you've been keeping up with my 'What If Cobra Kai Was A Musical' posts, I hope you're in for a long read, because Season 3's already the longest one and it's not even done
Here’s another hot take for y’all: Space Between should’ve been between Mal and Ben.
Samtory AU where Sam is obsessed with Tory but in a “our rivalry is sacred and I despise you but our competition drives me to better myself in ways I never even dreamed of before also I kind of want to kiss you”
Sam: I have to defeat her, but how? She’s too strong, too skilled, too hot, too smart, too hot-
Miguel: You said hot twice.
Sam:…I mean, yeah, look at her? Are you blind?
______
Daniel: Sam, you might have a problem.
Sam, standing in the middle of her room that she covered with pictures of Tory: Whatever do you mean, father?
Daniel: What do I-I mean all of this!
Sam: Oh, I’m just getting locked in for the tournament by focusing on my greatest adversary.
Daniel, pointing at the punching bag covered top to bottom in Tory’s headshots: and what about that?
Sam:…image training?
Hey, I’m here with another opportunity that the Cobra Kai writers missed entirely. TWO, actually.
Numero Uno: Having Robby have some repressed envy towards Eli in Season 4. I mean, Robby hurts one person, makes one huge mistake, and his entire life goes down the drain. But Hawk becomes an absolute monster, hurting everybody and committing multiple crimes over the course of several months, but after a simple sowwy, he gets off without barely a slap on the wrist. Then, have Kreese notice this envy and use it to push Robby towards the decision of defeathering Hawk.
Numéro Deux: Having Kenny have a bit of animosity and distrust towards Kenny in Season 6, without Demetri having to influence that. Kenny’s story is super similar to Hawk’s, which I once thought should be reason to have them have a sort of mentor-mentee relationship, but I think this is more interesting. Because of the similarities, some of the guilt and self-loathing Hawk felt towards himself for his own actions kind of bubbles up and directs itself towards Kenny for a few weeks.
Am I saying I’m a better writer than the people who wrote Cobra Kai? No. Am I saying that if I did write the show this would be in it? Hell yes.
If you're interested in hearing character information, lore, and updates about my new story idea, check out my second blog!
Well, hello, dear reader. If you're seeing this, you either somehow stumbled across it yourself or you saw the reblog from my other account, zenmastercharles. Either way, judging by the fact that you're still reading, you're interested.
Now, to answer the question, The Sin of Ambition, is one of the many story ideas I have in my mind at the moment, one that's slowly overtaking the WIP I'm actually working on.
It centers around Azren Alarick, a cambion, the first of her kind, who teams up with Earth's military, albeit reluctantly, in the midst of a war between Earth and Hell. As the barrier between the mortal realm and the underworld sporadically cracks, allowing demonic beasts to make their way into the human realm and wreak havoc, Azren and a group of soldiers must gather blood from a group of fallen angels known as the Seven Deadly Sins, the rulers of Hell.
The story mostly takes place in Hell, after Azren reveals a way to bring her new human "friends" down there. There are arcs covering each ring and each ruler, as well as the new allies they make along the way.
I'm toying around with the overall "theme" that the story would convey, because I'm not exactly sure. The idea I have for now is that it challenges the idea that one bad apple ruins the whole batch, that humans are too far gone in their collective evil, and also tackles the way the military effects people, especially in America. If anyone has any better ideas for it, let me know.
The four starting main characters go as follows:
Azren Alarick - The cambion mentioned earlier before, a wandering half-demon warrior who previously coasted through life on her powers, devil-may-care attitude, and seductive charm.
Keyvon Sims - A younger soldier for the military with a naive, geek-ish personality, his inexperience typically getting him into dangerous situations in the underworld.
Monserret Nores - Or "Monse", an older combat medic with a stern but caring, almost motherly energy who arguably holds the most 'people-skills' in the group, able to read energy easily.
Lt. Nash - A man so devoted to his role as a lieutenant that he doesn't even use his first name, he's a loud, stubborn, demanding old man who's convinced his way, the American way, is best.
As you can probably tell, this is based on...Hazbin Hotel. LOOK. I have watched enough Hazbin Hotel critique and praise videos to know exactly what not to do with a concept like this one. I'll be taking some stuff from demonology and the bible (both New and Old Testaments), but overall it'll be my own interpretations with huge changes to the lore, especially pertaining to one pair of brothers we all know and (kind of) love. Anyways, if you're interested or have any suggestions, leave a like, reblog, or comment. Bai bai!
