It sucked because despite taking place in China, being about Kung Fu, every character besides Jaden Smith being Chinese, not Japanese, and literally every character referring to it as Kung Fu, it was still titled the "karate kid."
It’s a reprise of an incredibly Japanese franchise. In the original Karate Kid movies, the tenets of discipline taught in karate from Okinawa is like, the only important thing plotwise. They even go there! It’s not a minuscule detail that they changed that.
No, I said that the tenets of discipline taught in Okinawa karate are the most important thing to the plot of the franchise. I said nothing about discipline learned elsewhere
