In early 2021, a Facebook message purportedly written by a character on Cobra Kai received interest. Cobra Kai is a TV reboot of the original The Karate Kid movies from the 1980s. Fans of the new Netflix TV series appeared to repost the message in full. The long, all-caps block of text was written by the character Johnny Lawrence, who was portrayed by actor William Zabka. It's true that the Facebook message from Cobra Kai is indeed legible. The Facebook Messenger response was drafted to Johnny's girlfriend from his high school days, Ali Mills. She was later known as Ali Mills Schwarber. The character previously appeared in the original 1984 film, The Karate Kid. Her character was portrayed by Elisabeth Shue. Behind Johnny's laptop appeared to be an Internet for Dummies book, and a Coors beer can and bottle. On the Windows XP desktop were icons for Microsoft Excel and Word. Below that was a new folder named New Folder, likely a gag for the not-at-all-tech-savvy character. On Cobra Kai, he is talked out of sending the Facebook message by one of his students, Miguel Diaz. That message is transcribed below: The reboot of the original The Karate Kid films from the 1980s was a success for Netflix. The first two seasons originally debuted on YouTube Red (later known as YouTube Premium). They later became available on Netflix on Aug. 28, 2020. Season 3 debuted on Netflix on Jan. 1, 2021. Jon Hurwitz, one of the series' showrunners, tweeted his excitement of the show's success on the platform: We previously reported on a false rumor that Cobra Kai had been canceled. As of February 2021, the fourth season of the series was in production. However, a release date had not yet been announced. In sum, a Facebook message that appeared on Cobra Kai was legible and genuinely transcribed by Netflix viewers.
