Fans have loved Cobra Kai and have watched it very keenly, which is why some of them were able to draw comparisons between the series and the action sequence from Echo. One of the users mentioned, “This looks awful are you kidding me? Cobra Kai vibes,” while another noted, “This looks more like a dance than a fight.”

Another user online mentioned, “This is utter garbage, nothing about this compares to Netflix Daredevil. This is horrible choreography, these Disney+ shows can’t do fight scenes right to save their own lives.”

Some eagle-eyed fans noticed, “Were they rehearsal? How come Echo let the guy hold the leg?”, “This looks trash, she waits for him to be ready, what a goofy ahh fight.” Ardent fans of the show and characters were not happy with the action sequence of the series at all. However, people are still looking forward to watching the show.

A user wondered whether modern directors have forgotten the art of shooting action scenes. They claimed that none of the punches connected, the objects appeared weightless, and the acting was awful as well.
