There was no mention of the kids going to school this year, did they graduate?
shareThey probably would have asked my brother. When he was in high school he had no problems getting a keg of beer. Or a joint to smoke. Or some coke to sniff!!!
shareAlthough I found this series entertaining, I spent almost the entirety of the series wondering if there was any police presence in its universe.
shareApparently not. Everyone was pretty much free to do whatever they wanted. I hope it gets cancelled soon because the plot is getting stupid.
shareThere's police exactly when someone needs to 'get in trouble' by going to jail (Robby, Kreese), there's police, exactly when the villain needs to use the system to outsmart the heroes (sorry, that's what this show became - there are now clear villains and heroes, sadly).
There's police 'in theory', when someone THREATENS to call them, but never do.
That's about it.. no patrols, no one getting in trouble for assaults, property destruction, stealing, fraud, and so on and so forth. Someone burns your car? Nah, too small a crook for cops to handle. Someone trashes your Doujou (on your property)? Why should THAT be something police would be interested in?
Someone beats up your daugher/son/nephew/etc.? Who ever heard of calling a police in a situation like that? These things are best handled with karate!
Yeah, the show gets to be so ridiculous in this aspect, it's hard to suspend your disbelief. for long.
Also, no one ever, EVER thinks of bringing a gun on the table, except Miguel's dad. Sorry if I spoiled a completely USELESS segment (of a story that goes nowhere) for ya.
I mean, I legitimately thought the strip mall owner guy that made a deal with LaRusso family, well, Amanda, would have gone to the COPS, whose job it is to evict Kreese anyway, if he has no legitimate / lawful right to stay in the building he owns.. but he turns to a couple of fat goons instead. Then he stays there and gets beaten up.
WHAT?
Since when do these rich bastards handle these things themselves anyway? This guy is PARANOID, he doesn't even trust car salesmen, and yet he goes to confront a karate madman by himself, just because he brought a couple of fat nephews with him?
WHAT WHAT?
It should've been his LAWYER, with ACTUAL COPS showing up, giving Kreese the bitter truth and evicted him, and if Kreese does anything, he ends up in jail for obstruction and assaulting a police officer.
Even after Kreese beats them all up, he could still go to the cops and tell what happened.. sigh.
Haha…what’s funny is that I still found the series “entertaining”, and I quickly realized that I shouldn’t expect any kind of realism when it came to real world writing.
To me, it played like complete fantasy very quickly. My “writing mind” would have always been in complete conflict; thinking “this is impossible” 😆. Hehe…I’m completely incapable of writing something like this, but that shouldn’t suggest that what was created wasn’t entertaining.
In my mind, even “dumb fun” has to have some sort of logical sense of consequence, but I still found the series entertaining in the same way that I’d find a silly movie like “Encino Man” illogically endearing.
I love the way that you spelt Dojo. Seriously, I'm not trolling it's hysterically awesome! LOL! DouJou. It's amazing. It sounds like it could have been a new Ghostbusters monster or something. It could have been a cross between The Pillsbury Dough Boy and a Jewish Rabbi. Eat your heart out Gozer!
