They also wisely didn't involve her in the teenage dojo v. dojo terror war at all; I don't see how anybody being thrust into that mess wouldn't immediately conclude that everybody was insane and run like hell.
I think they handled bringing back Ali, Kumiko and Chozen pretty much perfectly.

It was a breath of fresh air how they handled Ali. [Reply]

They also handled Ali's backstory about her leaving with a guy and
wrecking the car better. We got the 'real' story because they basically destroyed her character at the beginning of the 2nd movie. She came off like a real bitch leaving with the college guy and wrecking the car and having Daniel drag her. I'm glad they corrected that, seemed totally out of character. I know she didn't do the 2nd movie cause she went to college instead but wrote her off in the worst way. [Reply]

And the reboot with Will Smith's kid...
...I never saw part 2 until I watched Cobra Kai. Tried to watch part 3 and turned it off after 20 minutes or so...what a piece of shit that was... [Reply]
