How far do you think Terry Silver will go?

Terry is honestly much scarier, more sadistic and twisted than Kreese. When Kreese came back, Daniel was no longer intimidated, but when Terry returned he was terrified.

I think Terry was jealous of Kreese's soft spot for Johnny. He was bitter that it was always about Johnny and never about bringing back the glory days like he was promised. I love that they humanized him and gave him understandable motivations instead of just being a boring villain.

When Kreese reawakened Terry's inner Cobra, he clearly didn't think he would get bit.

Kreese has to have 100% of the blame, he awakened the beast within a now placid and at peace Silver and then tried to belittle him and manipulate him over what happened in Vietnam constantly. What did he expect😂

Terry is what most modern villains are missing these days, he is a machiavellian character that loves his old bad ways, in other terms, he has fun and loves being bad, manipulating and deceiving everyone with a sadistic mischievous smile always ready to be deployed.

The big clue was when you see him reading the book Leviathan. Quote from the book : “If any two men desire the same thing, which nevertheless they cannot both enjoy, they become enemies;

“Why couldn’t you let sleeping dogs lie” became such a stronger quote after Terry turned on Kreese. Terry was actually doing ok for himself and Kreeses manipulation tactics met his match and backfired on him

I just realized the actor isn’t even old enough to be a Vietnam veteran but he is very good at playing the role. Good video

If Terry says " There's still a few Cobra Kai's left to choose from", we all know he is talking about Mike Barnes.

The thing that makes Silvers so dangerous is that he's charming and that charm makes a villain more powerful and more deadly because they know how to out smart the good guys.

People sometimes forget that Terry is freakin' rich af. He can get away with a LOT of things.

I think Silver will exploit Stingray a great deal. Stingray is in a LOT more debt to Silver than just being let into Cobra Kai. Let's not forget Stingray assaulting his neighbour. Let's also not forget that he was throwing a party with underage drinkers AND he just got off probation for related matters. Silver's lawyers can keep all of that out of the way whereas if Stingray doesn't do exactly as Silver says, he will be in a world of shit. Silver has Stingray by the balls.

I’m praying they don’t give Terry a sob story or redemption arc , every character they have now has done that or is doing it. Just let us have a bad guy who’s just bad for the sake of being bad

Man, I REALLY thought that he had poisoned Kreese at the end there. He waited and let Kreese drink first, then gave that look. Oh yes, keep doing exactly what I want, it just showed in his eyes. Then Kreese seemed to be slightly... off. He seemed to be staring off into space and a little... sedated. I was SURE that Silver had poisoned him with venom he harvested from the cobra in the dojo. Oh, well. Still a good payoff.

I think Silver wanted Daniel’s forgiveness more than he let on based on his facial expressions after Daniel rejects him he walks away after giving Daniel a look of disappointment and when he gets into his car. When he calls him an arrogant little prick he doesn’t do it with a sinister grin, he does it with anger like he’s been hurt

"You lost the game on the very first day you chose to train me to rule by your side-or better still, under your thumb. Teacher, yes, and for that I will be eternally grateful. But Master-never." ―Darth Sidious, to Darth Plagueis

He definitely stole the show. This season was even more badass than the rest.

Terry Silver was fine until Kreese began to use his mind games on Silver asserting his dominance by trying to trigger his PTSD and guilt tripping the guy all the time. Also Silver was the most level headed guy for 85% of the season until Kreese started growing a Heart showing weakness.

When I Silver rejoined Cobra Kai he looked scary af. He's taller than everyone in the show, he's slender and has an ominous smile, also his use of psychological warfare is horrifying. Truly one of the best villains I've seen in a long time.

Kreese flushed the original dream down the toilet by chasing Miyagi-Do. Terry is a futurist that knows Cobra Kai has no future with Kreese. Kreese was focused on repeating the cycle while Terry was focused on ending it and moving Cobra Kai to it's next phase.

dude, im not even joking when i say this, i actually had a nightmare recently of someone beating the shit out of me with terry silver watching with that grin. terry truly is terrifying

I predict that Terry is going to turn little Kenny into a complete psychopath.

Ian Thomas Griffith stole Season 4 by reprising his role as the machiavellian, Terry Silver. Griffith was arguably the best actor this season showing the complexity of a reformed man regressing back into a psychopath and brought way more complexity to the character than the one dimensional villain in Karate Kid 3. Silver kicking and smashing the wine bottle was a great metaphor for an alcoholic who can no longer control his addiction as he falls back to his old ways.

Silver is dangerous to begin with but substances seem to enhance his crazyness like cocaine and alcohol. I wonder if they are gonna build on that more in season 5, maybe even relapse back into cocaine.

Normally shows get worse as they add more seasons, and I was worried that this show would just become repetitious but Cobra Kai just keeps getting better

Really want to see Terry Silver vs Chozen in season 5, Silver will make cobra kai more dangerous and literally show no mercy

Terry is by far the best villain in the series and can’t wait to see more from em

I was really surprised that the writers made Silver and Kreese having different agendas and thus hinting at us Kreese's redemption arc

I think the scariest thing about him is that he’s rich af. He can do whatever he wants and cover it up!

One of my favorite parts was when you saw a glimpse of the old Silver when Kreese mentions that Daniel LaRusso is the only one standing in their way.. "Danny boy!!!?"

I'm mad the man was chilling with life until kreese opened the jar then the monster came out

I never knew about Silver, so seeing him for the first time on this show was really insane. I never expected Cobra Kai to get under my skin in quite that way.

Kreese has awoken a monster. It was always inside of Silver, but Kreese has brought it out in the final episodes of the season.

I love how whenever Terry talks it’s like he’s swaying about. He just loves life

terry is kinda like the karate kid's joker, he can go as far as he needs to as long as he gets what he wants in the end. i dont think he will go as far as to kill somebody, but he will go as far as to beat somebody up. if it gets him what he wants

This is like most cults, the people that begin are not extreme because they know it is a lie, but then you get people that believe, and they become more dangerous than the people that started all.

*Terry is not wrong in his training or philosophy. The problem is that it corrupted him and made him more cruel than coherent. Vietnam's post-traumatic stress disorder helped him slip into sociopathy. That's why he is the personification of evil in "Cobra Kai".*

I liked the little bit of KK3 Terry Silver we got when he was beating up Johnny at the old Cobra Kai dojo and calling him “pretty boy”.😂😂

I hope we get a Terry Silver spin-off series. If Saul Goodman got his own series, so can Terry. I'd love to see more of his backstory after Vietnam and how he became so good at martial arts and so ruthless. And I'd also like to see what happened to him in the 35 years after KK3

I genuinely think ,, Silver was only there to train the kids like he wanted to ,, back in the glory days ,, but since Kreese used his pass to scare him ,, he went crazy from PTSD and thoughts of lack of loyality.

I expected to go into Season 4 not caring much about Terry, being that I never saw KK3; but I ended up absolutely loving him and he might be my favorite character from the season. His actor is really good and Terry is so deceptive, cunning, and not afraid to go to extremes to get what he wants. He’s definitely more of a threat than Kreese ever was.

Silver had a better path for the students than Kreese; look forward, not back. CK under Silver is going to become dangerous….far more than under Kreese

I figured silver was coming but figured the show would use him as a cheap gimmick, I was so wrong and can't wait for s5

its crazy to think that Thomas Ian Griffith (Terry Silver's actor) is actually YOUNGER than Ralph Macchio (Daniel Larusso)

Cobra Kai keeps honouring the series' legacy and it honestly makes the original source material even better with each installment instead of cheapening or lessening either experience. I was genuinely impressed when they introduced the idea that the reason Silver was off his rocker and totally loony in the 3rd film was because he was literally off the shits, high as a kite off the cocaine. Like. Wow. It wraps it up perfectly without even trying. The writers from Cobra Kai don't shy away from what the audience perceive as low points of the series, they write around it instead of pretending it didn't exist, something lesser writers love to do because it's easier than doing your research, biting the bullet and putting in some damn effort in the writing room once in a while. Season 3's use of Kreese in Vietnam was also a big winner, making Kreese's stoic performance in the original even more believable and chilling. I can't wait, once again, for the next season. Here's hoping they bring back Julie Pierce. Not that I don't want to see Barnes, but that I'll be even more impressed if they manage to improve on and honour the source material once again with her inclusion.

The fact that Silver's actor, Thomas Ian Griffith, with the surname being the same as Griffith from Berserk is no coincidence. That said, Silver is basically the Cobra Kai equivalent of Griffith/Femto.

Rumor is Robby is heading off to Mexico with Johnny... which is right for Robby's arc. Kenny and Tory are going to be Terry's paths forward. Keep using Kenny to terrorize Anthony to get at Daniel. Terry's gonna drop a fat stack of cash in front of Tory to get her to keep quiet. It might even come in waves. Like "Let me help you with that"... eventually there will be a feeling of being indebted to him and she'll probably keep playing along. It's possible Sam or Hawk drop Miyagi-Do and pick up Eagle Fang. It'd be a very interesting step to see in Daniel's arc, he's accepted that Sam can forge her own path. So now he can attempt to give guidance on how to teach. Rather than teaching a student. And Sam will get a taste of what it means to have students as she finds her own path. Hawk's story has come full circle. So it should be interesting as to what is in store for him. Him stepping up as a possible teacher for Eagle Fang could also be cool. And we also have Barnes waiting in the wings too. Season 5 is gonna rule

Never got the chance to watch the karate kid part 3, but after season 4 I can see why people like Terry Sliver.

Lesson learned. Never activate the PTSD of a dangerous lunatic.

The best part was when Terry followed through with the foreshadowing of knowing one's weakness at the last episode of the season.

I really liked where Terry was at the beginning of the season. He just seemed to know the best path to move Cobra Kai forward. He was teaching that hitting an opponent when they are at their weakest or when their guard was down was more beneficial than just striking first and blind aggression takes a backseat to preparation and focused retaliation. He had learned something that Kreese hadn't and Kreese was too petty to take some notes. I hate that Kreese fkd up Terry's progression, but it will be interesting to see where he goes from here.

Terrys a tall dude and those kicks are powerful

Terry Silver is going to make that Kenny kid very, very dangerous... especially if he gets a growth spurt soon...

Loved when Terry Silver Terry Silvered Kreese at the end of seas 4. And he was the best thing in KK3. Whaa! Whaaaaaa!

Kreese is a one-dimensional man who never grew up. All he has is his mall Karate dojo. Silver is an entire other level of dangerous. He revels in hurting others and destroys his enemies no matter who or where they are.

It’s so strange to think of this fact. Ralph Macchio is actually older than Thomas Ian Griffith (Terry Silver) and the actor who plays young Terry Silver in the flash backs is 25 years old while Terry in Karate Kid 3 was actually 27 years old in real life and Daniel in Karate Kid 3 was 28 🤯

I missed terry and when i saw him come in season 4 i was happy asf i always loved his psychotic nature and that evil smile

Terry Sliver is such a amazing villain ! He was so evil on Karate Kid 3 ! I'm so pumped for him in Season 5 !

Terry has a huge physical advantage as well, he’s 6’5 and lengthy .. tough to defeat that.

Silver's descent back into madness was a treat to watch

Funny enough, at first (after the whole "everyone has a weakness") I thought Terry was playing this really long con just to get Kreese to open up to his feelings and stop resorting on the past and focus on their future. Part of me just thought Terry was being this "wise hermit" at first but was willing to show tough love on Kreese. But, my expectations were subverted.

I didn’t know anything about Silver at first (never saw the movies), I just thought he was some chill, lay back, run of the mill, douchebag. But after seeing Silver brutalize Stingray, made Robby doubt his martial arts skills, ambush Johnny and now framing Kreese, all I had to say at the season finale was… “Kreese, what’ve you done?”

Season 5 has proven how sadistic Silver can be. He is a great villain.

Kreese historically has been a manipulator. Telling people what they want to get his way. Silver is also manipulative. One trying to out do the other.

I just wish that Kreese isn't redeemed completely, after all he did what he did, no matter what reasons he has. And likewise for Terry. We all watch Cobra Kai for what it is, a lighthearted franchise revival. However, it is quite poignant for such a show to give Terry's descent such a deep take. We all see how he has things sorted but still feels that loneliness and ever since the call from Kreese, the things he buried deep within just resurface. All his rehab is dismantled and the monster is unleashed. He sees that he is still a slave to Kreese and still yearns for his validation and his actions don't have forgiveness as LaRusso still hates his guts. He sees that being apologetic and grateful doesn't quite get end well always. It's quite 'Bojack' of his transformation but from the perspective of let's say Penny. I don't wish this show takes an unnecessary dark route like most revival franchises trying to make their new versions more grittier, but for Terry, I really wish the character is given his dark spiral.

I've followed Silver's teaching since I was a child. Today I'm certifieable and completely happy. I'm a business manager and totally wreck people. Thank you Sensei.

I think the number one thing a villain needs to be memorable is that he needs to win more than he loses. Such a great villain and I agree about him being the best part of 3

What I really love about this is how THIS became anime. This is how some arcs and time progression work the universe is completely established

Season 4 belongs to Terry. The only winner of the whole lot. When you think about it, he's like Thanos.

I love how whenever he has his back turned it looks like hes trying to hold in his laughter

I want to see Chosen vs Silver. Chosen who has so much heart and desire for honor vs Silver a man without limits. Chose might just use the take away the ability to create offense, but we will see.

So, Season 5 will be: Daniel, Chozen, & Miyagi-Do vs. Silver, (probably) Mike Barnes, & Cobra Kai Johnny goes to Mexico to look for Miguel and fight together to get back home Robby sees the light but he’s gonna try to change Cobra Kai from the inside, especially Kenny, and overthrow Silver, but he’ll fail, and Daniel & Chozen will be forced to rescue him, and Robby’s back with Miyagi-Do. Tory will begin to truly see the light and be conflicted on whether she should stay at Cobra Kai. Maybe she and Sam will become friends, but they’re at least cool with each other now. Anthony now HAS to learn Miyagi-Do to defend himself from the now evil Kenny, and we’ll hopefully see both of their characters redeemed slowly, particularly due to their mutual crush on Lia. They’re gonna have to be mindful to not be mean to each other while she’s around, or else we get Karate Kid 1 all over again 😓 Silver bails out Shawn early and has him join Cobra Kai to keep Kenny loyal to Cobra Kai, causing a rift between Robby and Kenny, and Robby and Shawn. And, I believe Daniel may bail out Kreese to form a temporary alliance with him to take down Silver. Finale: Miyagi-Fang (including Chozen, Robby and Tory, hopefully Kenny and Kreese?) vs. Cobra Kai

Johnny versus Terry was the ultimate dream come true for me this season. OwO While it sucks Johnny lost, I hope he gets a rematch, especially when Terry promised Kreese he'd "take care of Lawrence too". Knowing that Johnny is headed to Mexico to confront Miguel's father (who I suspect is a cartel or a bigshot drug lord), I wouldn't be surprised if Terry recruited Miguel's father to put Johnny AND Miguel off balance.

Terry puts the terry in "terr[y]fying"....

This channel deserves way more views. Keep up the great videos.

I can't believe how much I've enjoyed this show. Being as I never really liked the original movies all that much.

The entire time I kept thinking that Silver was going to be revealed as Tori's Dad, but now that he has gone complete psycho, I hope not. She is the only student/person who knows his true colors. I'm curious to see how she handles it all.

Terry Silver is truly terryfying!

Glad your back !You add so much to the show n movies!

Terry vs Chozen If Kreese told him about the pressure points techniques, and takes advantage of his range and strenght, then it'll be hard for Chozen (considering LaRusso still could somewhat hold his own against him) If Chozen is near or at Miyagi's level, then Silver is in for the pain

Johnny faces Silver again in Season 5. It’s classic Rocky III. Perhaps Chozen tightens Johnny’s defense up to next level? No way Johnny doesn’t take another crack at it 👊🏼

Great video man, really like how cobra kai is giving this character a second chance.

Now THIS was a fantastic character analysis and made me excited for season 5! I don't really enjoy the high school nonsense that's going on in the show. It's predictable and frankly not very compelling. But this character has so much room to grow, and I really hope they get more on board with this type of show! Well done :)

I think we may see Tory finally earn her redemption in S5 as the final scenes showed she was pissed when she discovered that her victory against Sam in the girls finals of the All-Valley tournament was tainted due to the fact she won the first place trophy via Terry bribing the ref to screw Sam over and essentially ensure Tory wins without her actually earning it via defeating Sam something that Tory made clear she didn't approve of proving despite all of her villainous flaws she still has the good qualities she showed in S2 including now revealing she had a code of honor in that she wanted to win the 1st place trophy yes but win it by actually beating Sam, not by taking the easy way and just have it handed to her via Terry bribing a crooked ref to screw over Sam. But that's just my take. And I think we may if possible actually see Hillary Swank join the cast for S5 reprising the role of Julie Pierce and it is possible considering that considering what happened Daniel is going to need help taking down Terry especially since Johnny is going to be focusing on keeping Miguel safe, and Daniel made it clear that he didn't want to disrupt Chozen's life in Okinawa by having him come to the US so calling the only other Miyagi-Do student who directly trained under Mr. Miyagi that's still in the country that's he's friends with to help out is right now the only choice and yes the creators confirmed Next Karate Kid is canon within the Karate Kid/Cobra Kai timeline along with it being confirmed that it is canon that Daniel and Julie met and befriended each other at Mr. Miyagi's funeral. And Julie has experience dealing with and coming out victorious against rich scumbags like Terry who seemingly can get away with anything due to his bank account via her run-ins with the Alpha Elite, and the various other mean girls at that private school she went to and got suspended from, also Julie can teach Sam, Hawk, Demitri and the other Miyagi-Do students and even Daniel some moves they didn't even realize were possible to do like the Praying Mantis Strike via the fact her style is a fusion of Miyagi-Do Karate, and Chinese Martial Arts including the agile and graceful Chinese Long Fist style a fusion style Terry, Stingray and the others at Cobra Kai won't expect. And as for Julie I think she actually kept her skills sharp by continuing to train after all remember Mr. Miyagi taught her using Angel the female Hawk Julie was caring for as an example stating "A female hawk doesn't let what she was taught by her father be forgotten cause she no longer has use for it she remembers what her father taught her in order to use it when needed while hoping that time never comes." basically teaching Julie that keeping up with her training even though it's not needed is acceptable cause even though she doesn't want to use her martial arts training to fight there could be a time where she has to use her martial arts skills to aid in a fight if such a time comes. Plus Julie returning to aid Daniel, and the other Miyagi-Do students could lead to interesting plot developments for example she could be the one who makes a connection to Tory and help her earn redemption due to the fact she's been where Tory is at and knows exactly what Tory is going through in terms of feeling angry at the world due to seemingly unfair circumstances, and being distrusted and viewed as the troublemaker simply because she's not rich, plus we could get more backstory on Mr. Miyagi's time as a soldier in the US Army's 44th Nisen Division in WW2's European Front cause remember Mr. Miyagi is technically Julie's honorary grandfather, due to viewing her grandfather as his brother when her grandfather saved his life during a battle and in return teaching his new honorary brother Miyagi-Do Karate, resulting in her grandfather teaching her father, and her father teaching her.

Thanks for the music shoutout Stryfe!

Awesome recap and analysis of Terry Silver.

This video is a perfect timeline, well done 👏

TECHNICALLY he wasn't trying to undermine Kreese when he said everyone has a weakness. He only turned against Kreese after he realized nothing he did would ever be good enough for him (basically the episode where he beat up Johnny and Stingray).

He was awsome in s4 but the best part was hawk he's my fave character and I called him winning the all valley only thought it would be as part of eagle fang and didnt think it would be split and cobra kai won any way but still called my boy eli getting a W loved it

Good vid. I liked your synopsis and analysis of Silver. Hell I'm scared of him! Lol

Oh god if Tory is Terry's little girl. It's going to break her heart. And I hope Sam, Robbie and Miguel can they be able to support her.

One thing I noticed when watching the season is when Terry let's his hair down freely, he is 'Terrence' who is logical, calm and reasonable. When he has his ponytail, he is violent, aggressive and intimidating.

Tbh we needed Terry to be the ultimate villain.. he is gonna keep this series going strong in where I think Kreese couldn't, awesome story telling in this series I thoroughly enjoyed it thus far.

I think the music was also part of it, the music just added to the decent because it’s often associated with people losing it. The music just added to it and made him so much scarier

I remember watching the Karate Kid 3 when I was young back in the early 90’s. I never watched the whole film back then but just caught Terry coming to Daniels aid after Mike Barns tried to fight him. So I only saw Terry as a supportive teacher towards Daniel. Then after all that trouble from Mike. I saw the part where they are in the dojo and Mike came out and Terry starts to show who he really is and Kreese comes out of no where with that scream. Man I was terrified back then as a kid.

Silver not only has fighting skill, he enjoys doing bad rather than just using bad methods as a means to an end. And on top of all that, he rich as hell and has connections to best use those funds

Terry Silver, terrorizing Gen-X teens in the 80's, and then bossing around the Gen-Z kids of those same teens and turning them against their parents. The old sack of bones really is unredeemable.

Thank you 🙏 for the upload

great job l love your videos thanks for getting me hooked on Cobra Kai
