One of the biggest feel-good stories in Hollywood at the moment is Ke Huy Quan's comeback in Everything Everywhere All at Once. He's famous for his child roles as Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, as well as Data from The Goonies, but he left the spotlight in the mid-1990s. Thankfully, he's getting his plaudits, winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor.

It has fans calling for him to get his own shining light in the Indiana Jones franchise, whether it be in a sequel, spinoff movie or TV series. However, seeing as Huy Quan is leaning hard, per his acceptance speech, into the concept of family, and that 1980s nostalgia is back in play, a Goonies sequel in the vein of Cobra Kai would be perfect.

Cobra Kai Melded Modern and Vintage Quite Well

Cobra Kai Every Main Character's Age

When YouTube TV put out Cobra Kai, only The Karate Kid loyalists took to it, lapping up how the show focused on Daniel and Johnny as adults, yet rivals. But more so, it hinged on how their kids were growing up in Los Angeles, enveloped in angst, anger, romance and drama. It was the perfect passing of the baton, bringing back the likes of Terry Silver, Chozen and Kreese to service old fans but also inviting the new generation via long-format storytelling.

What also makes the show resonate so much after Netflix picked it up and boosted the brand is how the Easter eggs, references and cameos all feel natural. Nothing's forced or rushed, with each adult having a protégé, so to speak, creating a new Miyagi-do, Cobra Kai and other enemies in the Valley. From the music to the fight choreography, the past is honored while ensuring the franchise evolves with the series moving into a sixth season.

The Goonies Deserves Similar Treatment

The core group of friends in The Goonies

Imagine a Goonies TV show that embraces legacy in this manner. Willow has followed a similar formula, although it hasn't hinged on the past too much. However, Goonies, like The Karate Kid, has a sprawling cast, so it would make sense to capitalize. An older Data could be the genius mentor who uses new tech and devices to help the next batch of treasure hunters.

In addition to having his kids involved, Mikey can also help lead the way. Sean Astin played this role quite well in Stranger Things as Bob, and fans would love seeing his Mikey and Data exuding warmth, innocence and empathy to push the new breed to go relics and treasures. Seasons would help with such character development, emotionally connecting fans to all the new and old faces. With social media around, they'd be better hunters too, plus there's room for conflict due to the different personalities in the old crew.

Jeff Cohen (who helped Huy Quan in his career negotiations) could return as Chunk, but wanting fitter, less goofy kids, subverting the old days, especially if they're to protect Sloth. Mouth and Stef can have bratty kids that annoy the pack, nodding to their essences, while Josh Brolin's Brand and Kerri Green's Andy can cameo, with their kids probably picking up on the love their parents never followed through with -- nodding to Chozen and Kumiko. There's further room for the descendants of the Fratellis wanting revenge by jacking the Goonies' loot. Cobra Kai laid down the template of how to renew The Karate Kid's place in pop culture, and Goonies can easily chart the same course. Both have the same infectious, timeless energy, and ultimately, a sequel series can indeed prove that Goonies age, but never die.
