The thing about that opening scene at the beach is that, according to LegalEagle's analysis of Captain Marvel, Jonny would have been convicted of battery. And you'd have to be ignorant of the rules of soccer to make the argument that was made in the video. Going for the ball is okay. Going for the legs like Johnny did, is not. It's at the very least a penalty, if not a cardable offence. Danny certainly overreacted, but given everything that lead up to that, it's not unjustified.

this is how johnny explains his life XD

This video went viral when it was made many years ago. I have to believe it influenced Cobra Kai as you even hear references to “Daniel was a bully” in the show. Whoever wrote this should’ve been an attorney 😂. I enjoy your videos. Karate Kid was such a huge part of my childhood and though martial arts was never an interest of mine, it’s impossible to overstate how influential the original movie was to American kids in the 80s.

I see it differently. Johnny's verbal aggression and threatened posture, and grabbing the radio and throwing it is a show of aggression. You can tell Daniel is concerned it may escalate into him hitting her, so he comes in to try and calm the situation. He wasn't going to be able to, but he didn't know that. Funny how Johnny's shove to the ground, the first aggressor, is just an oopsie but Daniel is just declared pure evil lol. Johnny smiled when Daniel came in to the dojo, Daniel was just looking to learn some self defense. He could have talked to Daniel after, but Johnny only knew how to handle situations aggressively, thus why he threw Allie's radio, a usual pre-sign of an someone on the verge of becoming an abuser. Gangs up on him with all friends instead of making a truce. Daniel was wrong to hose Johnny, but at that point he'd been bullied and humiliated by Johnny's gang and teens act out in anger in those situations. Then the 5 ganged up and even when Johnny's friend said he'd had enough, he continues to pummel him, no honor in 5 against 1. Miyagi had to jump in to protect Daniel, when you got 5 teens attacking you, kind of need to defend yourself so he did. I think the narrator did this for clinks, thought it would be interesting to look at it from 'Johnny's perspective', neither are really bad, they're just teens that don't know how to work things out.

Imagine being so petty you get a little wet and you respond by beating a kid to death despite your pal saying he had enough so you don't kill him and go to jail by accident bringing all of you down and you respond by saying I will tell you when he has had enough as he is about kick him again smdh...but johnny is the hero right

i truely did, some execs saw it and used it as a pitch

That’s not what the creators said,but I’m sure it helped them be confident about their vision.

I think a couple of things, the Sweep the Leg Music Video, and How I met Your mother- Neil Patrick Harris' character had his theory that Johnny was the Karate kid, not that newcomer who knew nothing 😄 they even both guested on the show a couple of times.

Nope. How I Met You Mother did kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLJ6drh03Zm4dKM.html

Nah, it shows people we are in conflict with are more like us then we think and it’s really us against ourselves. Daniel has so much anger and seeks revenge like many Cobra Kai.

I think it shows how teenagers are effing stupid

I forgot about this gem lol

Daniel was a hothead, but he didn't actually instigate every fight. And Johnny was a bully. Putting a plate under Daniel as he was trying to sit. Attacking in a group. Throwing a stereo at someone. Much more.

Nah. Johnny was straight-up the villain until after the tournament. Forget all the over-analysing and shit. All you need to go on is the score and the wardrobe

You know what else could kill somebody? A person with a baaad attitude that learns karate. It’d be like a person that bought a gun after losing a fight that they started/instigated. That type of violence will not be tolerated.

@@lareh5501 Except that's not at all what happened.. since Johnny's bad attitude instigated that fight (AFTER ASSAULTING HIS EX and destruction of property mind you) while Daniel tried to calm things down, he was assaulted for his efforts.. and then he assaults his Ex again... (pushing her into his group of friends who then RESTRAIN HER.. which is false imprisonment), it's at THAT point.. Daniel decides to defend himself and others.. from Johnny and his gang. If a Cop witnessed any of this. Johnny and his gang would of been arrested (for assault and battery and possibly false imprisonment).. and Daniel would of been seen as defending himself and attempting to defend Ali. The NEXT DAY, he's assaulted by Johnny and his gang again, then goes to Lunch finds out Ali use to date Johnny.. and then Johnny instigates yet another fight by placing a pie underneath Daniel. Johnny continues to bully him, and it's after Daniel's eye is all healed.. that he GOES to check out the Karate place. That's when they respond with the bikes.. so it's not at all like buying a gun after losing a fight that they started/instigated.. it's like someone trying to take self-defense classes after being assaulted and bullied by a serial abuser/assaulter/degenerate who crossed SEVERAL serious lines before Daniel tried to get self-defense classes. If you'd like I could go on, because Daniel only instigated once with water during Halloween after months of being abused/assaulted.. and something people love to conveniently ignore when considering Daniel's side or Johnny's side.. is Ali's side.. and not only was she assaulted, and her property was destroyed.. but Johnny also sexually assaults her (after forcing her to dance with him).. and she screams at him to never do that again.. and despite all this.. people wanna pretend this ABUSIVE EX BOYFRIEND is physically, emotionally and sexually abusive, manipulative and controlling, towards both his Ex and any boy she decides to talk to.. is somehow the secret hero, and Daniel was his bully. Yea, that makes sense.. Johnny displays several Sociopathic tendencies, and does try to actually kill Daniel.. even when some of his own friends realize he's going too far. Daniel never once tries to kill Johnny.. while comes close to death twice. If my ex-boyfriend behaved like Johnny.. I'd call the cops.. and get a restraining order.. for this psychotic guy..

@@goldcakes Um, you're not allowed to just rip something you don't own from someone else's hands.. I don't know where you live.. but that is a crime.. "The law defines assault and battery as an unwanted touching that is done in a rude or angry manner. It can be as simple as shoving someone, blocking their way, spitting on them, grabbing someone’s arm, throwing something (liquid or otherwise) at them, or even grabbing something out of their hand".. Then the whole "You just broke my radio" came before Daniel intervened.. and he did try to de-escalate saying "Come on Man, what's going on?" this could not be interpreted by anyone as ESCALATION (Supreme court has ruled on this).. and since Johnny had already assaulted Ali and broke her radio.. it has become IN THE DEFENSE OF OTHERS/SELF DEFENSE.. Since Johnny had already escalated to physical violence/assault (by 4 counts btw 2 for Ali and 2 for Daniel). Before Daniel resorted to any attempt to fight back. Now most Cops might of just given a Johnny a warning for grabbing her Radio, and maybe after he damaged it.. but at the point Daniel charges Johnny.. he assaults Ali a 3rd time (shoving her into his friends who physically restrains her) which become False Imprisonment... and the entire Gang would be going to Jail and Daniel and Ali would be asked if they want to press charges and give statements.

@@lareh5501 That's why Miyagi taught him to put his anger and impulses aside

@@Vynjira-chan When is the last time the wind offended you?

Yeah and he missed it cause he said something at the same time.

Yikes at this comment, the Ali and Johnny confrontation had become physical before Daniel got involved.. Also, no, they weren't Traditional Bullies, they were fairly extreme bullies even for the time. Johnny commits several crimes that should of gotten him jail time, while Daniel sprayed water on Johnny on Halloween? at a Party where kids where being egged... Daniel's Harmless Prank (water hose on Halloween) vs 2 attempts on Daniel's life, fairly consistent physical bullying for months, as well as threat and intimidation, false imprisonment on Ali (on the Beach) and on Daniel (with an intent to kill Daniel) Assault and Battery on Daniel and Ali.. Sexual Assault on Ali.. Johnny wasn't just an asshole, he was sociopathic.. Daniel might of been a bit hot headed but at no point does he come even close to the Sociopathy on full display by Johnny until literally the last couple of seconds in the film.

​@@Neo_Vandole 'Daniel attacked people.' Johnny literally assaults Ali before Daniel even gets involved.. Breaking her Radio (Destruction of Property) also before Daniel approaches. Before he is assaulted by Johnny (still having done nothing to Johnny). When Daniel if getting up he doesn't just Assault Ali again.. he physically restrains her with his Gang of Friends which is an Unlawful Restraint or False Imprisonment charge.. by the time Daniel resorts to Force. While you want to sit there and say Daniel attacked with "Full Force" and an "Intent to hurt them" this was after multiple Assault and Batteries, Destruction of Property and an Unlawful Restraint/False Imprisonment by Johnny.. Which means his actions fell under Self Defense "An individual has the legal right to use reasonable force to defend another person who is the victim (or about to be the victim) of an assault." So Johnny did not "only use Force to Defend himself" that was Daniel from the start. _____ Then Johnny and his gang surround Daniel on their Motorbikes and drive him off the Road off a hill. This act, is easily any number of Aggravated Assault charges "Aggravated assault is a violent crime that occurs when someone intentionally injures another person, usually with a weapon or another means that could cause serious bodily harm or death." The motorbike could actually be considered a Deadly Weapon. Which could also be an Attempted Murder charge on top of that.. and since we saw with him Conspiring with his Gang of friends in the planned attack.. we have Intent to use Deadly Force at the very least would be considered Reckless and Dangerous with Conspiracy Charges.. Daniel did nothing under the law which would provocate this attack, and it was completely reasonable for him to seek training for Self-Defense after being assaulted previously. (leaving Daniel with a number of visible injuries) _______ Would you like me to continue? because it only goes down hill from here.. with him SA'ing Ali and Attempted Murder charges for Halloween. ___ 'What is understandable in that age and considering the circumstances (the conflict was going on for month, Daniel was hitting on his girl).' Having been alive in the 80s, I can tell you that was not understandable behavior. In fact, it was so understood in the 80s.. that a movie made in the 80s literally portrayed Johnny as the Villain throughout the entire movie.. and everyone at the time understood that. Everyone in the 80s watching that movie seeing Johnny as the Villain and an Abusive Ex. Not Daniel "hitting on his girl". The movie made it clear they had broken up. Johnny's refusal to accept this.. was literally stated by his own friends in his first minute on screen: 'Hey Johnny, forget it man, it's Ancient History.' "Hey Man, I thought they broke up." 'She did, he didn't.' AKA, that wasn't his girl and in the 80s.. everyone in the Audience recognized it. Stop trying to revise history to this distorted and delusional narrative.

Yeah dude for real. You notice in the tournament fight with Daniel he’s throwing combos. Like a spinning kick into a punch into another spinning kick, it’s so cool to watch. The kids in cobra Kai tend to just throw a single strike at a time, while Johnny looked so fluid. But you do gotta give Robbie respect, he’s not far behind where Johnny was

Jacob (Hawk) and Tanner (Robby) are the best fighters in cobra kai, what do you mean?

@@rompeanos6064 never said they weren’t. You can’t tell me hawk looks better than Johnny here my man. Robbie and Johnny are pretty close but I think from what I’ve seen in the tournament fight in kk1, Johnny looks just as good if not better with his movements and kicks. Imagine this Johnny in cobra Kai with all those extra years of training Robbie gets because it’s a tv series not just 1 film, and screen time, and fight scenes. Not to mention tanner had years of gymnastics before the show so ofc he’s flexible and athletic

William zabka still looks very good for his age and he does most of his stunts. He even did that exact heel kick in the rematch with Daniel this season. He’s definitely a close second to terry silver, which is understandable cause terry has been doing martial arts his entire life while Johnny just did some for the film and only a small amount afterwards

I read this comment in Johnny's voice

The were no villans

@Simon Pierre you say that, but the opening of the 2nd movie was intended to close the first one. I imagine that they would have made the macho attitudes the thematic villlian had they seveloped it further. But because Machio and Morita had such great chemistry they focused on that instead. A bit of introspection can help reframe situations.

@@JohnnyV83 you need to watch cobra kai to understand

@@simonpierre8283 cobra kai didnt exist when the first movie came out. in the first movie kreese was a villain, in cobra kai, hes not.

@@Disastorm what

Yes, but the video is satire. The point is that the Karate Kid films do exactly the same, but from Daniel's point of view. So the inverted perspective shows that in reality the story is about some kids who are taking turns being aggressive/defending themselves. It's not just one side being evil and the other side being good.

Wow, was this your college dissertation? FFS, tell us how you hero worship Daniel without telling us he's your imaginary hero. "He was a hothead but not THE or A bully"...ok. So the examples of Daniel being an aggressive POS aren't real? If a dog bit you, would you return several months later and kick that dog knowing you will get bit again? The beach scene shows how your "hot head" description leads to Daniel lacking control of violent impulses. Was Daniel "the bully", not in a traditional sense of the word, was he a short tempered, frustrated narcissistic punk, absolutely. He even got aggressive with Allie after spying on her at the formal country club dance. He is a jerk off, and it's reiterated in the TV series.

That guy has a bunch of those kind of videos. In another video he makes some pretty valid points about star wars and how the rebels are the bad guys and the Empire are the good guys.

He would make a good criminal defence lawyer.

except the fact that this video didnt do that

I mean honestly, Daniel was a hateable POS, he provoked Johnny in the bathroom, he got aggressive and possessive with Allie for dancing with Johnny at the country club. He's a frustrated, aggressive and narcissistic hot head. Was he the bully in absolute terms, of course not. Was he an asshole who poked the bear, yes.

no he never handed it to him,would you shove a radio in your mother's arms???? go re-watch the clip,johnny shoved it hard into daniel,handing something is gently passing it to someone

@@carnage1284 you missed the joke

@@rayloc420 HAHAHAHA...... better? listen pal if that was a joke then I thought jokes were meant to be funny right?

@Carnage Of course it isn't funny lol It somehow went over your head.

@@carnage1284 jokes are funny if you understand them

Which Johnny keeps leaving out of his side of the story, and make it like Daniel ruined his life, but Kreese is the one who ruined his life, teaching him to fight dirty, telling him to show no mercy to Daniel, broke his 2nd Place Thropy, and then tried to kill him, and Daniel was scared for him when that happened. But doesn’t matter. They’re now Teamed Up!

Daniel learned that he can continue his bad behavior if rules are in place for his protection. Like people that use police violence against someone for petty non crimes. Phsycos Daniel

Technically, that would have prevented any further violence between the two

I do believe that joke gave birth to Cobra Kai, no real reason except that I like the idea.

What time is that ?

@@Logan-eh3oq ahh premiere time is 20.00 in my country 😅

@@1tan_freed0m nvm I got it 8pm

It’s Daniel who couldn’t move on..the shower 🚿 costume proves it. It’s Daniel who seeks out revenge more than Johnny and Johnny reacts as any man would if you try to steal his girlfriend and always go after revenge.

@@DrangusKahn It's not stealing they broke up.

@@DrangusKahn So, by your theory, because Ali says they are broken up, but Johnny says they aren't, then Johnny has the final say in the relationship? Good heavens, they were dating, not married. And how sexist!

@@katemaloney4296 No,Johnny was trying to make up and get her back. You know how that feels? When you love someone and you want to fix things then some random person comes to take it away?

@@DrangusKahn Johnny smashed her radio. That’s all sorts of red flags and anyone seeing that who didn’t know Johnny would be concerned that he might get violent with Ali. I can’t blame Daniel for stepping in at that moment. Besides which, Johnny can go ahead and feel whatever he wants to feel, but bottom line is as long as Ali doesn’t want to get back together with him, they’re not in a relationship. It’s therefore not “stealing” if Daniel gets together with her.

That's kind of my take on it as well. In 1 and 2 he goes to a place he has never been before and without learning the ropes about the new place, he ends up insulting people to the point where they kick the crap out of him. A normal person would learn from the mistake. Not Daniel. He trains so he can beat them up to mend his bruised ego. Daniel is such an asshole.

@@tedbundy1769 "...insulting people to the point where they kick the crap out of him." They sound like a bunch of SJWs and Karens, Daniel was right to train and beat them up, and show them violence begets violence.

Yes, it's meant to be a joke. The ones actually taking it seriously worries me a little bit ^_^

the issue is Daniel has PTSD in regaurds to CK. he was fine with Jonny and play CK for what happened. but then Jonny brings back CK and the balance he has had since KK3 is gone. and it gets worse when Terry shows up. He is scared of CK and when scared he reverts. season 1 it's a fairly positive revert. training again abs teachign others. seaon 4 is when it's at it's worse. Myagi Do has never failed him. Miguel's win was dirty so if it beat Kreese and Silver before it can again. Daniel does not realize that with Robby Ck can learn Myagi Do to counter it. It's ironic that the master of the style that promotes balance is unblanced

Real bully Kim Sun Yung

The writers messed up a little with Daniel, in that he is the one who keeps the situation escalating several times. For instance with the school dance, where, as far as we know, it's all over and done with by then - then he restarts it all by hosing the dude, and creates a car crash as he runs out. It's difficult to complain about getting bullied, when you directly antagonize and act provocatively towards your bullies, and you yourself keep the situation going. I mean this is all super over analyzing, the movie was never meant to be understood or looked at this way, so in a way it's silly even discussing it. But it's a little interesting that a film like Karate Kid, unintentionally ended up being a brilliant example of how reality is often a subjective experience, and the same reality can be viewed completely differently by different people. In the series, the way Johnny recalls everything, is actually also how humans tend to remember. See, you don't remember anything anymore. You remember memories of memories. Each time you remember something, that memory essentially replaces the original one. That means that each time you accidentally add little incorrect details to your memory, your brain will generally add those onto the memory by default the next time you think of it. Over time, this can largely warp how we remember our past experiences, versus how they actually transpired.

@@PhilipZeplinDK Disagree that Daniel kept escalating the situation as the Halloween dance was the only time he ever instigated a situation. Afterwards, he and the Johnny and his gang mostly left each other alone. There is also another deleted scene of Johnny confronting Daniel before the tournament which is on the KZfaq. Agree with about Johnny and memories though.

It was a very happy coincidence. The showrunners had already been tackling the idea that there was more to this story than the one-sided morality that the original film(s) portrayed. It was an extremely funny coincidence that both How I Met Your Mother and this video had the exact same take and obviously were tapping into something worth exploring on film :) History speaks for itself that Cobra Kai has such depth of character and themes in its writing. There was indeed more to the story/formula than we left it with. The two "failed" spin-offs were not indicative of what brilliant writers could do with the IP.

Nope. Basically kip up with left leg, bring right leg up and left leg comes down. Would be brutal to do coming down on the injured leg, which Daniel did immediately bring back up due to it being in pain. Go check out Lyoto Machida vs Randy Couture. Machida does the crane kick and knocks out Randys top 4 teeth and ends the fight.

Daniel didn’t crash his dreams. That was All on Kreese. And Johnny is a hothead too😂. Ali pointed out that he and Daniel are alike, and they are😂

@@carterthiero7633 You should watch Cobra Kai. Then you'd understand what I'm saying.

Then how could Daniel save a little girl stuck in the wooden Watch Tower during the Storm in Okinawa?

@@NelsonWin I never said he didn't have a good heart, or want to do good things for people. I'm simply saying that, from a very young age, he was very quick to get angry and react instead of think things out and staying calm. He also toyed with the Cobras and instigated a lot of crap throughout the first film. And he's always been quick to fight, and easily goaded into a fight.
