The difference is ''Cobra Kai'' depicts the original antagonist as the protagonist and employs a DarkerAndEdgier approach to its series while focusing on the original characters, while ''Mighty Ducks: Game Changers'' depicts the Ducks as the antagonists, keeps its original family friendly tone, and puts the new characters at the forefront with Gordon Bombay playing a supporting role.
