I don’t think they could have improved it due to the limited abilities of larusso’s daughter. She’s not much of an athlete.

They needed to get her a lot more training between seasons when they decided to make her a focal point of this season. I don't know why they didn't. It's obvious most of the other kids have been training. Especially the guy that plays Robbie. With the way he's looking now you can tell that he knows this is his big break and wants to springboard off of it.

That's the big perspective flip
The original had Daniel as the poor kid from the rough background being picked on and feeling inferior to the rich entitled kids.
Now his daughter is the rich entitled kid battling with a girl from a rough background

Dude he was recovering from back injury. He was bound to put on some lbs
Besides, it's not like he put on a Jesse Plemons level of weight.
I thought the younger son losing a ton of weight was much more distracting than Miguel.
I thought Miguel looked a little different but couldn't place why. I guess he put on some weight though.

yeah... Miguel put on a bit of weight for someone doing karate on the daily.
And yeah, Daniels son looks like he grew a foot lol

Better off silent
I thought they recast his son because he had a bigger role this season. But I barely paid attention to him in earlier seasons so I’m not sure it’s the same actor.
I wasn't sure if they recast either. Going by IMDB it's the same actor, Griffin Santopietro. They have him listed for all of the seasons.

Thank You Paul!
Yeah, I thought they grabbed a different kid because they wanted a different track with him - same kid just really thinned out and grew a little

It's football season!!
Off topic, but if you love campy reboots that don't take their source material too seriously like this, Saved by the Bell on Peacock is excellent if you enjoyed the original as a kid like me.

I don't know how they keep doing it, but I'm pumped.

Yep, Chozen as a main character this season? Hell yeah.

He does nothing for me.
I don't think I needed to see more of him. I liked the little redemption arc for both him and Daniel last season. It was a nice movie tie-in and a nice way to send off the character. It was a good end point for him. Hopefully they don't ruin that by doing too much.
Karate Kid 2 is my least favorite of the original trilogy. It's better than the Jaden Smith or Hilary Swank films but that's not a high bar.
Karate Kid 3 was my favorite and I used to visit the old IMDB boards for it all the time because it was an unofficial Cobra Kai fan club of sorts. This was before the CK series also. It was just people ironically discussing the teachings of Cobra Kai are the keys to life and how Daniel LaRusso is a cheating punk. That's why Ive enjoyed this series so much, it brought some of that to life. However the supporting cast in KK3 is the best, IMO, with Terry Silver, Mike Barnes, Kreese, and Snake. I still hold out hope Mike Barnes and Snake make appearances. Sean Kanan, who played Barnes, still acts and has spoken highly of the series but who knows if he's in their plans.

There is a definitive answer on the the Mike Barnes question:

Didn’t realize I was in the minority liking 2 the best. I’m a sucker for bad guy gone good arcs, I think Chozen could be a nice contrast with Johnny. Plus Chozen and Iohnmy have never met before so there’s that dynamic to look forward too.
You are not alone. Looking forward to his addition to the cast this season. I liked his redemption arc and the fact he is spending his life making up for what happened in the second movie.
