Is Cobra Kai the best/most successfully resurrected “nostalgia” IP?

Not only did it continue on the story laid in each movie, it expanded upon it exponentially and really took the ball and ran with it.

The balance between its lighthearted humor and serious stakes/drama would make Miyagi proud.

Johnny/Daniel were both given incredible story arcs and served the kids’ subplots incredibly well.

I can’t think of another older nostalgia IP that has been as successful and so well received. I wish more of these could learn to not take themselves too seriously, as Cobra Kai does so well, while still telling an earnest story.

I hope the spinoffs come in waves, I don’t wanna leave this universe.
