By watching the new episodes of Cobra Kai, Netflix subscribers had the happy surprise of seeing Pat Morita on screen. As a reminder, the unforgettable Miyagi of the franchise Karate Kid died in 2005 from kidney failure. An appearance to which Josh Heald, the co-creator and executive producer of the series, reacted to the American site TV Line. “Pat and Miyagi are the beating heart of this series. And without Mr. Miyagi, there would be no Karate Kid and there would be no Miyagi Universe, as we like to call it. For many seasons , we told a Miyagi story centered around the absence of Mr. Miyagi. This season, we dig a little deeper into the looming presence of new information, new ideas, or new insight into a part of Miyagi's life. Mr. Miyagi who the series never focused on and who Daniel was never aware of.
The creators of Cobra Kai used artificial intelligence to include Pat Morita in season 6
During the same interview, the co-creators of the series explained that they used an assortment of visual effects and artificial intelligence to include Pat Morita in season 6 of Cobra Kaiwith the agreement of his heirs. “We need to talk to Pat's heirs and make sure that they are aware, that they are comfortable and that they approve of this. We are still coming out of the Wild West of artificial intelligence and visual effects, and we are entering a period where you have to have standards in terms of presenting all that. You can't just do anything. Even if you don't have the actor on set, it's still his image. “confided Josh Heald, one of the creators and showrunners of the series. And to add: “So we went through this whole process, which was important to us and the studio, and we feel like we captured this unfortunate vision that Daniel has of being trapped in this nightmare that he's in. He's in some way comes out in a waking nightmare, and then he literally has a nightmare where a Miyagi unlike any we've ever seen visits him.”
