The Tva first made its debut in the 1986 Marvel comic, Thor #372. However, the organization garnered more popularity among worldwide fans after making its live-action introduction in MCU’s Loki series. The fans were intrigued to see the timeline governing body being on the center stage of everything in this Multiverse Saga.
As the San Diego Comic-Con 2024 kicked off, Kevin Feige announced that the agency will now be at the center of a new comic series titled Tva. The limited comic series, slated for a December 2024 debut, will mark the Marvel Comics debut of several popular MCU characters.

Loki‘s second season may have continued the quest of Tom Hiddleston‘s titular God of Mischief as he tries to put fraying timelines back in order, but it was the introduction of Tva Repairs & Advancements Department head O.B. (Ke Huy Quan), a.k.a. Ouroboros, that stole the show. Quan stepped into the new character with the kind of enthusiasm he approaches pretty much anything else in life and it shines through his performance, which became an instant fan favorite. Below, the Oscar-winning actor opens up about fan reactions to O.B., the pressure of keeping Marvel secrets, and whether or not he’ll be back on screen in the MCU anytime soon.

One year after “Everything Everywhere All at Once” became the third film to ever merit three acting Oscars, the recipients of those trophies all have their sights set on Emmy glory. As candidates in three separate 2024 races, Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Ke Huy Quan are headed for an exciting reunion that could very well lead to one or more of them winning the TV academy’s favor in September.
Curtis, whose Oscar victory caught more predictors by surprise than those of her two cast mates, is now the strongest Emmy contender of the three according to our racetrack odds. Indeed, her guest stint as alcoholic mother Donna Berzatto on the FX comedy series “The Bear” is widely expected to bring her her first Emmy win, even in the face of formidable opponents from the same show (like Olivia Colman and Sarah Paulson) and returning champion Maya Rudolph (“Saturday Night Live...

It has been a lucky 13 years since Tom Hiddleston first played Loki, the God of Mischief in the film “Thor.” He returned to the role recently for season two of the TV series “Loki.” This Disney+ show provided a beautiful end (we’ll see) to the character’s epic arc.
The sophomore outing of the series seee Loki trying to save the universe with the help of Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), Mobius (Owen Wilson), and Ouroboros (Ke Huy Quan). Kang (Jonathan Majors) is once again at the center of the trouble. The series is fantastical and is held together by the superb performance of Hiddleston. Once again, this classically trained actor brings Shakespearean authority to the role. He is also able to infuse increasing vulnerability to the former villain, making Loki one of the best characters in MCU history. Critics agree, “Loki” is the Tom Hiddleston show.

“Loki” could conjure up a Best Drama Series nomination this year and give Disney and Marvel representation at this year’s Emmys. The second season of “Loki” continues the journey of Tom Hiddleston‘s titular former villain as he attempts to save the multiverse. Loki traverses the multiverse with the help of Owen Wilson‘s Mobius, Ke Huy Quan‘s Ouroboros, Sophia Di Martino‘s Sylvie, and Wunmi Mosaku‘s Hunter B-15. They are hoping to repair the damage caused to the multiverse during the events of the first season, with Kang (Jonathan Majors) again at the center of the trouble.
Season one was greeted with rapturous applause and this sophomore outing has been met with the same response.
Bob Strauss (The Wrap) observed: “Characters with compelling issues, high existential drama, quirky comedy and world-threatening action are blended better than in any other Disney+ show to date.”

If one of the most singular functions of film is the preservation and reanimation of things that no longer exist, then Basma Al-Sharif’s work is now among the more urgent expressions of the medium in recent memory. This year’s edition of the Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival (Bfmaf) dedicated a significant portion of its programming to the Palestinian-American visual artist, exhibiting several selections of her older shorts dating back almost 10 years, as well as her 2017 feature-length essay film/process piece Ouroboros.
A significant chunk of the latter effort takes place in Gaza, and though the project’s inception and filming predated the recent escalation of the Middle Eastern conflict, it’s difficult not to compare its documenting of shelled, dilapidated urban scenery to the newer images of unprecedented devastation leaking out through social media channels on a daily basis.

Note: This story contains spoilers from the “Loki” Season 2 finale.
By the end of “Loki” Season 2, the God of Mischief has mastered his timeslipping abilities and transformed into the God of Stories, sitting at the center of Yggdrasil, the World Tree of Norse mythology that gives structure to the universe and supports the 9 realms of existence.
During the finale, viewers watch as the Marvel-villian-turned-antihero spends centuries using his newfound power to try to change the outcome of the Temporal Loom exploding. Given the fact that this ability theoretically allows the Asgardian to revisit any point in time, it begs the question, would he try to change his shocking death in the 2018 film “Avengers: Infinity War”?
“My instinctive response is he would be tempted, but he would choose not to go back there and change the outcome,” actor Tom Hiddleston told TheWrap. “[Loki has] arrived at where he is because of...

Ke Huy Quan just wrapped his debut run in the Marvel Cinematic Universe thanks to his role as Ouroboros (aka O.B.) in “Loki” Season 2. While it’s undetermined if he’ll pop up in the MCU again, the actor is already eyeing a jump to another massive Disney-owned franchise: “Star Wars.” In an interview with Collider, Quan recalled his “shameless” encounter with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy in which he told her straight up to get him a role in the “Star Wars” franchise.
“I love the MCU. You know, I was able to connect with my Indiana Jones family during the award season. And, as you know, Kathleen Kennedy was the producer,” Quan said. “And she’s the head of Lucasfilm now. I did go up to her and I said, ‘Kathy, I would love to join the Star Wars family.’ That’s another wish list of mine. But honestly,...

In 2022, Ke Huy Quan’s comeback story was the talk of the town. As a child actor, he endeared himself to audiences with back-to-back roles in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) and The Goonies (1985), but by the early 2000s, he left acting behind for two decades, only to return to prominence in storybook fashion thanks to his Oscar-winning role as Waymond Wang in the Daniels’ Everything Everywhere All at Once. During the lead-up to his Oscar win, Quan’s journey was received with much fanfare, and he shared his account as often as he could throughout awards season.
However, in 2023, Quan experienced the other end of the spectrum, as his next high-profile job as Ouroboros (aka O.B.) on Loki season two coincided with the SAG-AFTRA strike that lasted nearly four months. So Quan has been anxiously awaiting the chance to discuss his dream of joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe,...

Roughly 20 minutes after the news broke that the 118-day SAG-AFTRA strike had concluded, the first email I received from an actor’s publicist was for Ke Huy Quan. That’s how enthusiastic the recent Oscar-winning star of “Everything Everywhere All at Once” was to talk about his role on “Loki,” the Marvel Studios series for Disney+ that just wrapped up its second season. When he signs on to our Zoom chat for the interview, his face is beaming.
“I’ve waited a long time to talk about ‘Loki,’” he says. “Like, talking to you right now gives me a lot of joy.”
Quan plays Ouroboros, or “Ob,” the head (and seemingly the sole employee) of the Repairs and Advancement Department of the Time Variance Authority — basically, the one person responsible for keeping the Tva’s machinery running.

When something good happens to a good person, it's always worth celebrating -- especially in a business as cutthroat as the film and TV industry. But when good things keep happening in rapid succession to someone who so clearly deserves it? Boy, do we need to cherish it like it may never happen again. When Ke Huy Quan was first cast in "Everything Everywhere All At Once," his joyful, heartfelt, and ultimately Oscar-winning performance marked the end of his decades-long hiatus from acting. It would've been all too easy for Hollywood to go right back to ignoring the beloved actor who first made his mark with "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and "The Goonies." Thankfully, this is one comeback story that hasn't wrapped up just yet.
Quan quickly followed up his Best Supporting Actor win with roles in "American Born Chinese" and, most thrillingly of all, a supporting turn in season 2 of "Loki.

The second season of Loki proved to be a wonderful addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and one of the biggest highlights (at least for me) was Ke Huy Quan as Ouroboros, the Time Variance Authority’s resident tech expert. From the sounds of things, no one loved the character more than Quan himself.
“Well, first of all, when I read the script, I instantly fell in love with Ouroboros,” Quan told Deadline. “It was so well defined on the pages, and I can see him right away. This character was not based on comic books, so it was created by our showrunner Kevin Wright and our head writer Eric Martin… I instantly wanted to play him.” After the success of Everything Everywhere All at Once, Quan got a call from his agent telling him that he would be getting a call from Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and the...

As he tinkered away to try and help God of Mischief, Loki (Tom Hiddleston), and the team resolve time-sensitive issues ranging from time slipping to an overloaded Temporal Loom, O.B. was a beacon of light during some of the season’s darker moments, even as he uttered phrases like, “We’re all gonna die!” Despite only playing a part in the show’s second season, he was a seamless addition to the strong ensemble, carving a path for his (hopefully inevitable), possible return for future MCU outings.

That includes introducing new characters, like Ke Huy Quan’s Ouroboros. As the Tva’s dedicated handyman, everything inside the institution was either created by him or is currently maintained by him. When Loki and Mobius enter his workshop, they become his first visitors in 400 years.
Little do they know, Ouroboros is an integral part of their quest to prevent the branches of time from overloading the Temporal Loom.

The “Loki” Season 2 finale went into some weird places. Only this time around, there’s a new He Who Remains sitting at the throne — and he’s not a Kang variant. So, is the god of Mischief now just… God?
Well, no. Technically, he’s the God of Stories. More on that in a minute, because it does have a huge, possible tie to a future Marvel project, but first, a quick recap. Episode 6, now streaming on Disney+, certainly made a meal out of trying to fix everything but in the end, there was only one option for Loki, and it essentially means Tom Hiddleston will exist in the MCU forever.
We just may not see him again, because he’s now apparently the keeper of the entire MCU, multiverse and all.

Season two has seemingly played out over a few days in Tva time so far, and originally picked up right where the first season left off.

In a recent episode of Loki season 2, Ravonna Renslayer and Miss Minutes travel to 1863 Chicago. There, they find a young boy and give him a Tva handbook written by Ke Huy Quan’s Tva technician, Ouroboros. The next time we see that boy in 1893, he’s a man going by the name of Victor Timely who has studied the details of that book and is now able to invent the contraptions inside it, including the temporal loom that will become the center of the Tva.
This, of course, raises a question. Who really started the Tva? We’ve been told that the Tva was founded by He Who Remains, the man who Victor Timely will become. But now Loki shows that Victor/Hwr got the idea for the Tva from Ob’s book. How can He Who Remains be both the inspiration and be inspired?
The answer, of course, is time travel.

Does the possession of free will guarantee an escape from inscrutable, omnipotent destiny? Or, like Thomas Hardy’s characters, are we forever doomed to end up in a never-ending cycle of misery and tragedy? As the fourth episode of the second season of the MCU series Loki reminds us of the inevitability of destiny, mimicking the famous quote of the mad titan Thanos, the ever-present conflict of the series between free will and fatalism pops up in a catastrophic manner.
In the previous episode, Loki and Mobius traveled to the late Victorian era to find out about Miss Minutes, as she shared the temporal aura of He Who Remains, which was needed to open the Tva blast door and retrofit the Temporal Loom. However, Miss Minutes and Ravonna Renslayer teamed up to turn Victor Timely, one of the variants of He Who Remains, into his successor and usurp control of...

Spoiler Alert: This story involves discussion of major plot developments in Season 2, Episode 4 of “Loki,” currently streaming on Disney+.
When Eric Martin started writing the Season 1 finale of “Loki” (along with then-head writer Michael Waldron), he already had a sense that the Marvel Studios show was going to continue for a second season.
“There were definitely rumblings of that while we were still in the writers room of Season 1,” Martin says. “It didn’t become a sure thing until we were into Covid.”
During the forced pandemic hiatus — Martin estimates that they’d filmed “about a third of Season 1” before the shutdown — Martin says that Marvel Studios executive Kevin Wright approached him about becoming the head writer for Season 2. “And we then started really getting down to business about where to take the next half of the story.”
That effort reached a serious turning point in this week’s episode,...

One of the largest looming threats in Loki season 2, aside from the potential return of Kang variants, has been the impending explosion of the Temporal Loom and the potential destruction of the Tva. The loom has become overloaded with branching timelines since the Tva stopped pruning variants beyond the “sacred” one. In the aftermath of He Who Remains’ (Jonathan Majors) death, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Mobius (Owen Wilson) have enlisted Ouroboros (Ke Huy Quan), Casey (Eugene Cordero), and B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku) to help repair the timeline without sacrificing the billions of variants that live on these multiplying branches.
In episode 4 “Heart of the Tva,” Loki and Mobius have finally gathered the missing ingredient needed to repair the Temporal Loom – the temporal aura of Kang variant Victor Timely. However, Ravonna Renslayer (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) and Miss Minutes (Tara Strong) show up at the last minute ready to put a wrench in their...

We're in the endgame now. Okay, the current situation in "Loki" maybe isn't quite as existential as the Thanos-induced Blip at the end of "Avengers: Infinity War" but, in a way, it sure feels like it. Episode 4 is perhaps the wackiest and most revelatory hour of season 2 thus far, throwing all sorts of chaos at the wall and not even waiting around long enough to see what sticks before moving on to the next thing. It's as if the writers challenged themselves to outdo their own timeline-traveling hijinks from last week, which pit Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Mobius (Owen Wilson) against Ravonna Renslayer (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) and Miss Minutes (Tara Strong) in a race to win over the alliance of Victor Timely.

Not only is he slated to be the major baddie behind the current three-phase arc of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but his comic book counterpart has connections to the most important team in the Marvel Universe.

When it comes to the MCU limited series on Disney+, the pacing issue is something that fans have often felt to be bothersome, and it ends up messing up the innovativeness of the storyline by gearing up the flow in favor of shoehorning the world-building aspects. Fortunately, Loki seemed to be the only exception, as it takes its sweet time to build on the narrative, provides viewers with an insight into the characters, and seemingly has a fixed resolution it is destined to reach without bothering much about the next big reveal and tease. It’s good to see that the second season has maintained the tradition.

Loki season two, episode one: “Ouroboros” takes place directly after Loki season one finale.
Loki Laufeyson/Variant L1130 (Tom Hiddleston) is sent back by an alternate version of himself named Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) to a past version of the Time Variance Authority headquarters, an organization within the show that monitors the Sacred Timeline.
Sylvie killed the being known as He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors) in the season one finale. In doing so, she had created unstable timeline branches in the Sacred Timeline in which the counterparts of He Who Remains would be released and start another multiversal war.
After the Time Variance Authority debates whether or not the branches should be erased, Laufeyson tells his colleague in the first season, Mobius M. Mobius (Owen Wilson), of the danger they are in.

The first season of Disney+’s Loki took the pop culture world by storm during its release through its inventive narrative style, tight plotting, unique characterization, and ample fan service and world-building moments. Initially turning out to be an oddball of a series, Loki was the only major venture of MCU to have maintained the scope of the big picture, as not only did it continue exploring some of the farthest corners of the MCU in the aftermath of Avengers: Endgame, it also set a proper course for the future of the franchise. The first season of the series was part of the fourth phase of the MCU’s overarching narrative, as it officially introduced Kang as the big bad of the ongoing Multiverse saga. Adding to that how each of the six episodes of the first season kept viewers on their toes by never committing to expectations, season two...

Spoilers for the "Loki" season 2 premiere follow.
When news first dropped that Ke Huy Quan was officially joining the MCU in the second season of "Loki" (check out /FIlm's review), longtime fans of the beloved actor could hardly contain themselves. After bursting back through the gates of Hollywood after winning the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his multi-layered performance in "Everything Everywhere All At Once," the continuation of the Quan-naissance was all but assured.
For a certain generation, Quan will always be immortalized as a certain archeologist's sidekick in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and, perhaps even more revered for his role as the bumbling young inventor Data in Richard Donner's "The Goonies." Along with all the other neighborhood kids from the wrong side of the tracks, Data teamed up with Mikey, Mouth, and Chunk to uncover the pirate treasure hidden by One-Eyed Willie to save their childhood homes.

For every remaining season 1 question that the Loki season 2 premiere “Ouroboros” has answered – such as where Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) ended up after killing He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors) and why Mobius (Owen Wilson) didn’t recognize Loki after he was sent back to the Tva – there are just as many new mysteries left to be solved. While we still don’t know exactly why Loki was stuck slipping through time after his run-in with He Who Remains or how he was able to do so in the Tva, he was able to remedy the situation with the help of Mobius and Tva engineer Ouroboros (Ke Huy Quan).
To do so, Mobius had to extract Loki’s temporal aura directly from the time stream at the same time that Loki “violently” rips himself from “every thread of time and space” aka pruning.

Academy Award winner Ke Huy Quan joined the cast of Loki in season 2 as Ouroboros, a.k.a. Ob. Ob is the chief (and only) engineer of the Tva’s Repairs and Advancement department, where he’s spent 400 years alone keeping the Tva and its tech up and running. The season premiere, named “Ouroboros,” introduces the quirky character and gives Quan ample opportunity to build a rapport with series leads Owen Wilson and Tom Hiddleston. Ob may be a new character, but thanks to Quan, we already can’t wait to see more of him.
Quan’s career has recently had a long overdue resurgence since he captured hearts and garnered critical acclaim as Waymond Wang in Everything Everywhere All At Once, but he’s been acting since the 1980s. Whether you’re familiar with his career or a new fan that wants to know where else to watch him,...

When we last left our heroes, Sylvie (Sophie Di Martino) killed He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors), and the timeline went nuts. Loki found himself in a timeline where no one at the Time Variance Authority (Tva) knew who he was, and there, it appeared that He Who Remains became the leader of the Tva. Meanwhile, in the first season's timeline, Mobius realizes that Loki is "time-slipping" and takes him to the repair guy Ouroboros, or O.B. (Ke Huy Quan).

The last time we caught up with the shenanigans within the Time Variance Authority (Tva) in "Loki," things were not looking so good. Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) encountered He Who Remains in the Citadel at the End of Time, leading to a string of events that threatened to unravel the very fabric of reality. As the end of the first season opened Pandora's box, i.e., the sudden birth of a chaotic multiverse, it is natural for season 2 of "Loki" to dive into complicated rules that demonstrate the repercussions of a world on the precipice of destruction. The season 2 premiere of "Loki" does precisely that, by bringing us up to speed while characters walk and talk frantically — enough to almost rival the longest "walk and talk" scene in "The West Wing."

There were of course plenty of Easter eggs from the pages of Marvel Comics to feast on, including a reference to Broxton, Oklahoma in the episode’s post-credits scene. But for those who have been desperate for any sign of the X-Men’s imminent debut in the MCU, one moment truly stood out and had us yelling “bro!” – Cerebro, that is!
After Ouroboros (Ke Huy Quan) finds out that Loki (Tom Hiddleston) has been time slipping inside the Tva and that the timeline is branching, he reacts to the news that the Tva is experiencing power surges by taking Loki, Mobius (Owen Wilson), and Hunter B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku) to a very unique location: the temporal core, home to the temporal loom.

"Loki" is back this week, and along with the return of Norse trickster god Loki (Tom Hiddleston), agent Mobius (Owen Wilson), and the rest of the Time Variance Authority, the show's premiere also sees the introduction of a few new key characters. Among them? Ke Huy Quan's helpful, tech-savvy Ouroboros (or O.B.) and X-5, a mysterious new Tva agent played by Rafael Casal. And it's the latter who is particularly intriguing.
So far, we haven't seen X-5 do much besides question whether jet skis are part of the sacred timeline, but the character already seems to be an agitating force within the organization. He's also quite possibly poised to become a recognizable Marvel villain.

The story behind Ke Huy Quan's character, Ouroboros (Ob), in Loki Season 2 got some additional details thanks to a Marvel producer.
The new character, who was first revealed to be joining the cast at last year's D23 Expo, finally was introduced to fans in Season 2's premiere episode.
In hopes of fixing Tom Hiddleston's Loki's time-slipping problem, Owen Wilson's Mobius took his friend down to what amounts to a cluttered basement of the Tva where Ob calls home. It's here that Quan's eccentric genius, Ouroboros, works away endlessly, with little to no contact with anyone else in the Tva.

The town in which I attended college was annoyingly devoid of a robust selection of hangout and restaurant spots. As such, the local McDonald's became a destination, especially as it was one of the few places in town open late. After one particular night of partying, I ended up at this McD's with a buddy of mine, who excitedly told me about how he and his friends loved to undergo something called "The Gauntlet" when attending a McDonald's on special occasions. When I inquired what this "Gauntlet" was, he explained how it involved ordering every single Extra Value Meal on the menu and consuming them all — in order.

As such, the local McDonald's became a destination, especially as it was one of the few places in town open late. After one particular night of partying, I ended up at this McD's with a buddy of mine, who excitedly told me about how he and his friends loved to undergo something called "The Gauntlet" when attending a McDonald's on special occasions. When I inquired what this "Gauntlet" was, he explained how it involved ordering every single Extra Value Meal on the menu and consuming them all — in order.

It's not out of line to wonder whether we've hit an inflection point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. How many times can a franchise dangle that tantalizing football in front of its fans, coax countless viewers to build up a full head of steam in the hopes of having their sky-high expectations met again and again, and then snatch that prize away right at the last second? Recent history suggests that a shared universe built primarily on the promise of the next big thing to come does, in fact, have an expiration date -- or, at the very least, a moment of truth where over a decade of goodwill finally threatens to run out. After a series of low points poked several glaring holes in the McU's once-impenetrable armor, from divisive entries like "Eternals" and "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" to unmistakable misfires such as "Thor: Love and Thunder,...

In Doctor Who, the phrase “wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff” has become synonymous with both the nature of time itself — short version: time is a nonlinear mess — and how woefully inadequate our layperson’s vocabulary is when it comes to blathering about time.
Whether you generally understand the intricacies of time and time travel but can’t formally express them, or your head immediately starts to explode the second somebody mentions killing Baby Hitler, it’s simpler to attribute temporal circumstances to “wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff” than pretend you’re Neil deGrasse Tyson.
The handiness of the phrase came to mind more than a few times while I watched the second season of Disney+’s Loki, on which the creative team has absolutely succeeded in using Marvel’s money to make a wildly expensive season of Doctor Who featuring Tom Hiddleston as the Doctor. It’s such a perfectly...

Of the eight live-action TV shows that Marvel Studios has produced for Disney+ to date, only one has concluded with the explicit promise of a second season: That would be “Loki,” the outrageously entertaining series about Tom Hiddleston’s god of mischief and his metaphysical exploits in the Time Variance Authority.
It turns out, those plans were already in the works before a second of “Loki” had ever streamed. As executive producer Kevin Wright explains to Variety, he and Hiddleston began talking about Season 2 of the show while in production on the third episode of Season 1.
“As we were shooting the ‘Lamentis’ episode, Tom and I started having lots of conversations about how this world could build out, how we dive deeper into it,” he says. “A large part of what we wanted to do was not trying to repeat ourselves, and not try to play the hits.” At the same time,...

"Loki" has always had a whole lot going for it. The Tom Hiddleston-led show has a stacked cast including Owen Wilson and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, a fun plotline that's directly related to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, and importantly, the first season had the privilege of being one of the only Disney+ Marvel shows that aired before everyone got kind of sick of them. In season 2, though, "Loki" will have a new secret weapon, one that has the potential to make it even more endearing: Ke Huy Quan.
Quan's role in the show hasn't been officially disclosed yet, though it seems like he might be playing a character called Ouroboros, who has his own place in global mythology and Marvel comics history. In the trailer for season 2, Hiddleston's Loki and Owen Wilson's Mobius visit Quan's character at what seems to be a whimsically cluttered-looking storage room, where Mobius calls him O.

And that's how you end a season!
The buildup for the tournament wasn't the best throughout the season, but once we got there on Cobra Kai Season 4 Episode 9, it didn't disappoint.
And by the end of Cobra Kai Season 4 Episode 10, there were too many heel turns to count, a new villain emerged, and Cobra Kai may as well have changed its name to Ouroboros.
The season lacked more training scenes, making the timeline difficult to follow. We never knew how long the kids were training for it and how prepared they were.
Obviously, you knew the primary fighters would be just fine, but the introduction of skills comps during the tournament opened the door for many of the background characters to shine.
Johnny: I don't give a shit about the math! What do we need to beat Cobra Kai?
Devon: Uh, math.
