re: Question about The Karate Kid

Yeah, Miyagi is not on trial here, I can't hate on him.

It's about LaRusso being a bitch.

I won't say that I can agree with all of Daniel's antics, but again.... What was he supposed to do?

Johnny and the Cobra Kai weren't going to leave him alone. The harassment was going to continue.

Point taken, I can see where you are coming from.

And given the credibility issues with Miyagi, I would liked to have seen more evidence of this.

Dude showed Daniel is Medal of Honor from the US. What more do you want? Once again you can't hate on Miyagi.

By this logic, then you can't hate on the Sensei either. Dude was special forces.

So, we have:
Beach beating
fricking with him at soccer tryouts
Causing him to bust his arse on his bike
Hose down beating
Verbally fricking with him constantly (and also his mom)

---

Let's take those one at a time:

quote:

---

Beach beating

---

Beginning.
End.

So Daniel rolls up on John's woman and is trying to impress her (and everybody else on the beach) by kneeing the soccer ball over and over. John and his buddies come to the beach and John wants to talk to his ladyfriend, and Daniel sticks his nose into their business and gets his arse kicked.

quote:

---

Causing him to bust his arse on his bike

---

Bike scene.

After the beach, Daniel gets a little reminder not to frick with John's girl. And what does he do...well he:

quote:

---

fricking with him at soccer tryouts

---

Soccer scene.

So not only is he talking to John's woman...again...but then he's up there in front of the whole class trying to show off juggling and kneeing the soccer ball. Again. So Bob goes hard after the ball and trips Daniel, who then viciously attacks Bob and gets kicked off of the field by the coach...who is the authority figure, mind you, and from what he saw Daniel was out of line.

quote:

---

Hose down beating

---

So John is trying to toke up at the Halloween dance, and he's completely minding his own business and leaving Daniel alone. And what does Daniel do? He sprays him with a hose in front of the whole school. So of course he gets his arse kicked.

quote:

---

Verbally fricking with him constantly (and also his mom)

---

Lest you forget that Daniel is the one always running his mouth to everybody...always trying to show off by juggling his soccer ball in front of the class....and picking fights at the Halloween dance.

I'm quite sure that Daniel got his arse kicked daily in Jersey based on how arrogant and smart assy he was, not to mention his all around shitty attitude to all things Cali.

quote:

---

What was Daniel supposed to do? Just sit back, and be beaten/fricked with constantly?

The whole "leave well enough alone" line was a load of bullshite.

---

No way. Daniel brought almost all of those things upon himself. Had he just chilled out at the beach and let John and Ali work things out, nothing would've happened. But he couldn't do that..he had to involve himself with other peoples' business. And then he had to do it again.

And don't get me wrong, Ali was the cause of a lot of that shite too. Women be shoppin, and she certainly instigated lots of shite herself by her actions (and inactions). But all in all, Daniel was begging for that shite.

At some point after the truce for training, didn't Daniel also mouth off to Johnny since he knew he couldn't be touched?

Hadn't Ali and Johnny recently broken up?

She sure says so.
