I just watch most season episodes of shows or movies featuring special actors and actresses mainly for the purposes of entertainment except when I watched the original karate kid movies franchise after watching that massively edited youtube video titled, daniel is the real bully in the karate kid
TheCausalParadox That’s something I never even thought of, but it’s such a good point. It really ties back into how Robby behaved on the beach when Miguel was drunk and wanted to gripe at Sam, because you know he has grown up dealing with drunk men his mom brings home. He doesn’t know Miguel or that Sam needs no protection from him, so he does the same thing he does in No Mercy- assume that Miguel is completely at fault and Sam is innocent of wrongdoing, which is also how he seems to see Johnny as opposed to Shannon. And Robby also never seems to drink himself.
Robby’s mom were going away for rehab, which was actually a very good thing, and why Robby ended up turning lovingly towards her mother when they were sitting on the LaRusso couch together :-) She didn’t “leave him”, she went to get better FOR him.. Oh, and even Robby him self said to Sam, when arriving at the party, “I can use a distraction” :-)
I totally disagree with this theory 1) not only in real life that last dangerous powerful leaping side kick would have connected directly a already unconcious danny larusso 2) Miguel caused most of his own problems with kyler and his posse meaning Miguel was taught the wrong - the cobra 🐍 kai way
Miguel and Robby were both brought up in lone parent families, but Miguel is far more well adjusted than Robby is. The difference (between them) is that Miguel's mom was an actual parent and that Robby's mom was more like a roommate than a parent. But yeah, Samantha is a straight up sociopath.
@@ShinryuZensen Honestly. It is kind of weird to know that I didn't really like her character in the show and then realised that it is probably not her real personality.
In all honesty he really didn’t even hit her she seemed to have stepped into his elbow as his hand connected with Robbie without seeming to have strayed all that much
He was kinda forced to join, he would have died if he didn’t sign the application because mike Barnes is a psychopath, and mr Miyagi didn’t train him so he kinda had to train with them but he did make a change
She comes to the party with a random dude and I’m there, and she hasn’t called or texted me all day, and she think I’m not boutta swing on somebody, she buggin 😂💯 edit: AND SHE WAS HOLDING HIS HAND TF 🤦🏾♂️😂
Honestly I said the same thing to myself, she shouldnt be holding another guy's hand when shes with someone else. That's something I would assume to be suspicious if I wasnt hearing the whole story first, I wouldnt swing automatically but I definitely would question it
IamJerf Honestly if he would’ve approached her with a different tone, and let her explain first, that situation would’ve ended way better, but I think it was because he a little drunk 🤷🏾♂️
@@1zayguapp it was definitely because he was drunk, he had no control of himself. This is also a norm for teens to also have this kind of emotion for dealing with stuff that never happened before so his anger pretty much got to him.
ye and robby aswell cuz when ep9 of s1 and s2 daniel and johnny becomes buddies for a day and then sam and robby decides to like: HEY MAN LEMME IN UR APARTMENT TO SLEEP and: HEY MR LARUSSO SAM GOT HIT IN THE FACE
Louke Robby is a kid. It was an accident. Besides, Miguel only didn’t break his arm on a whim, and he only beat him at the all valley by fighting dirty and attacking his weak spot. He told Sam he wanted to hurt Robby as bad as possible.
Louke Honestly kids are like that in real life, but it’s often because of how they were raised. Robby was an idiot for throwing him off a railing and almost killing him, and he could’ve just knocked Miguel out instead of paralyzing him. It’s also the writers. I feel like in season 2 they didn’t know what to do with Miguel until the end.
It's Yasmine's fault since she was the one driving. Johnny could've get compensated for the damage if he reacted calmly, and get the driver's information. Johnny actually scared them so they Yasmine drove off. If Johnny reacted calmly when his car got hit, it won't lead to Sam getting grounded; fueling Miguel's paranoia causing them to break up. Everything is a Domino affect
it kinda does make sense. Johnny doesn't have insurance and daniel gave him a car in return. Its not meant to be a major plot point but rather a segway into Daniel and Johnny reuniting again which is why it was patched quickly and it makes sense
@@akraman7274 And Johnny wasn't going to file a police report because he was partially at fault for the whole thing by parking illegally in the middle of the street, and had been driving while drunk.
Daniel and Sam seem very narcissistic in this series. Here Johnny “the bully” says everyone deserves a second chance and is trying to chance a bad way of learning. Then Daniel “the hero” wants to use his power and money to ruin a small business because he doesn’t like the guy. I know they are good people at heart they just are very caught up in themselves right now.
"Everyone deserves a second chance", everyone but LaRusso who in his mind "make his life miserable", neither Johnny or Daniel try to hear their side of the story. I mean, Daniel is not perfect but Johnny isn't a saint either.
@@dreagonzalez6217 See that would work... If Johnny didn't repeadly try to squash everything with Daniel throughout the series. No he's never taken the time to try and forgive and forget with Daniel no, but he's tried to just ignore and move on with his life plenty of times where Daniel will then go out of his way to ruin Johnny. Like after Cobra Kai won the All Valley. By that point any beef between the two of them was completely over. They were at different points in their lives and from this point on there was nothing left for them to fight over... Until Daniel opens his own dojo literally just out of spite. Basically rekindling their rivalry.
GoldDlocs couldn’t have said it better myself. Daniel is obsessed with Johnny for some reason. He even brought Johnys kid into his home. And instead of calling Johny and planning to talk about it, he literally stops in late at night and instead of asking why his old teacher is there he decides to just use it as an excuse to take his son in and use it against him later in a fight. I mean who the heck does something like that? And he probably did it out of spite instead of doing something nice. He also basically pushed his daughter on to him. And we all know how Daniel started things with Johnny most of the time. Even when his daughter was in the hospital his first reaction isn’t “I pray my daughter is okay” it’s “let’s start a dojo war...” unbelievable. Heck he didn’t have to go with Johny on the test drive. He really didn’t if he was giving the car to him for free and that’s already the one he picked. It’s a used car for goodness sake. But he did and made him stop at his house. Like that’s weird.
@@josiemcbride3646 Daniel still thinks that Johnny is the same person he was back when they were in high school and Johnny was still a member of the old Cobra Kai (which couldn't be further from the truth). A lot of the aggro between Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do came from Daniel refusing to acknowledge that Johnny had changed. A lot of Season 2 could have been avoided if Daniel had actually told Johnny that he was briefly in Cobra Kai instead of just telling his students. The test drive sequence would have been the perfect time for Daniel to say it. Johnny is a better Sensei than Daniel is because he realised that how he was taught Karate was wrong and that it doesn't work for everybody. Daniel, on the other hand, tried to teach his students the same way he was taught without actually realising that what worked for him wouldn't work for someone like Robby. And Daniel was trying to mould/shape Robby into a younger version of him while Johnny actively avoided making his students extensions of himself. It's ironic how the person who wasn't taught by Mr Miyagi got more things right when it came to teaching people than the person who actually was. Oh, and Johnny's relationship with his students is healthier than Daniel's. Especially his relationship with Miguel.
At the start Daniel had no ill will towards Johnny, even going as far as to pay for a new car for him (bare in mind at this point he had no way of knowing Sam caused the damage). Daniel is at war with Cobra Kai as an institution, and this has less to do with Johnny Lawrence, and more to do with Jonh Kreese, Terry Silver, and Mike Barnes - all of whom participated in a psychological warfare campaign to destroy Daniel in Karate Kid 3. You can see it in Macchio's performance, he has Cobra Kai PTSD, but its not because Johnny pushed him down a hill, its because Terry Silver tried to peal open his mind and destroy his soul.
@@WatchParty1 Ever since Hawk stole a freaking medal of honor, I hated his fucking guts. Being a bit of a prick is one thing but now the dude is just psycho.
jyoder1 so true, I love his character development, and at this point I love watching him but hate him as a person, he’s very well written and fun to hate sometimes😂
@@rafalos-zx6go How's about not showing up to a party holding another guy's hand for starters. Hand holding is one of those small relationship indicators. Some things are just off limits if you're in a relationship with another person. And this is after she hadn't responded to him all day, I know LaRusso's wife was being a B but wtf is he supposed to think?
@@thee_morpheus I had to watch that part again to see if they were holding hands lmaoooo. I mean I get you but they were going down a hill :D. I don't know if you can call that cheating. Ofc as Miguel he had no clue what was going on and blew up.
"I expect you to act like a normal person!" That was the moment I heavily disliked Sam. Miguel's behavior was literally the most normal reaction in the world
@@thewildonion1156 he didn’t even mean to hit her,you act as is if he did it on purpose,she tried to stop him and robby from fighting and got caught in the crossfire because she decided to get between the fight
Remember when everyone were at 80's theme Club .. The skating one... Miguel asked Sam why she's on a Date with Robby? and Sam said " It's not a Date" After 5 minutes, She kissed Robby casually. She's a Compulsive Liar and Narcissist.
Drunk Miguel gets a pass on a half-assed swing punch that he probably tried to pull back as he threw it also making it more awkward, then Sam just getting in the way and eating it.
@@WatchParty1 if you're good enough to win a major tourny, you can use your off-hand. But he was drunk AF, and that will affect your coordination pretty badly. And even though he hit Sam, she never developed a bruise from it or there would have been no keeping it from her parents, so it was a very weak hit. But the lack of coordination, the fact that she was more or less behind him so it was the wind up that she caught rather than an actual punch, and it was probably the forearm and not fist or elbow all probably contributed to it being weak contact.
@@WatchParty1 Most karate styles don't teach the right-handed/southpaw thing as most katas are made to be done to both sides, most people still will favour their dominant hand but all karateka are naturally ambidextrous (Sorry if shitty english, it's been long time no using english)
It always annoyed me how Sam broke up with Miguel because of something he did while drunk at a party. Then a season later, she gets drunk and does something far worse at a party, and doesn't accept responsibility for it until after a huge brawl breaks out because of it. Actually, accepting responsibility only after her bad behaviour blows up in her face is something of a pattern with this character.
Well, maybe hitting someone is bad, but image the roles were reversed? Sam was a guy who drunkenly tripped on Miguel, who'd be a girl, and kissed her. It wouldn't change a thing, but fans would get so angry. Especially when the ot followed through with the love story.
In dissecting Sam, I have a new appreciation of Robby even though I hated him for the first two seasons. Dudes just a simp and doesn’t know it, because his parents were horrible examples 🤣
Sam has to be one of my hated person because she is ungrateful and she got other people in trouble including Robby. She is a worst girlfriend and a worst friend.
Joe Jamros to me she’s fine, I ship those two together, but at the same time there not meant for echother, but my least favorite person is Robby, he kicked Miguel off the railing aka the second floor, I hate him.
Sam is a small percentage of what Robby was fighting for, he's furious his dad was never a part of his life. Johnny is more of a father to Miguel than Robby. He was forced to grow up too fast and I hope he's able to work through that in the next season.
Tory cared about Miguel way more then Sam did. Tory didn't even blame Miguel for those two kissing, because she knew Sam was being manipulative and trying to take advantage of Miguels feelings.
when Sam said he shouldn't be hitting anyone, everyone i have heard talk about this completely ignore the fact that Robby actually prompted Miguel to throw a punch
Damn, I always thought Tory was better for Miguel anyways. She relates to him harder and they have good back and forth chemistry. This definitely solidifies it.
But then again, tori isnt without problems of her own, like her extreme gullibility in believing anything that comes out of kreeses word hole, and her borderline homicidal tendencies. Tory is bad for different reasons, but she isnt trying to hide how awful she is, so she is better by default.
@@theredheadrevolution4156 I believe her nativity is mostly because Kresse used her home life (Seen in season 3) to get her under his control. Same with Robby, Kreese used their pain and problems to sink his fangs into them.
@@RagnarokMic ok to be honest about the fight if you ran up and saw your ex girlfriends boyfriend putting his hands on your girlfriend what would you do and I'm sure miguel didn't hear Robby say lets work this out over all the yelling and screaming
@@thefruityloops2958 Doesn't make it Sam's fault, Miguel entered the situation without understanding what was happening, on top of being equally culpable for the kiss that started the entire thing to begin with, can't put his injury on anyone else...well, except Robbie, as he was the one that literally did it (in a moment of anger).
@ He literally leans right in for that kiss, he had ages to pull away and actually decline, and he went for it, that kiss was 50/50, plain and simple. And by the time Miguel came in, Robbie was standing between the two of them, holding Sam at a distance too...if you get injured because you misinterpret a situation, that’s still your own fault.
@@RagnarokMic lmao the show is FULL of misinterpreting situations. it's honestly infuriating when you notice it. but the fight (and most notably the injury) was the "fault" of so so many people; sam, miguel, robby, and tory, even hawk if you think abt it. all them mfs will do anything BUT tell the truth and communicate. with the slight exception of miguel who has at least made minimal attempts at fixing things (tried to confront the larussos, wanted to end the fight with robby), but he was the one who got injured anyways
Man, poor Robby, he deserves a loyal and loving gf like Tory (except the psycho part of her, which is mostly understandable). He and Miguel got played like a fiddle by Sam and I hope both of them fully reject her as the show progresses.
@@n.p.c7599 tbh hawk became a dickhead in season 2 imo but that would FULLY redeem and it almost makes sense because they were good friends and he is very loyal shown by him getting a tattoo and being shattered when moon leaves him and reese taking advantage of them inevitably teaching them actual NO mercy so combined that means a person who lost the friend he had before since this will inevitably change him and already hates miyagi do and robbie for the fight in the mall and a child being taught to show absoloutely no mercy I think that hawks revenge on robbie could end up being an awesome plot point
15:08 I always liked how Sam’s dad driving her to school in a fancy car is embarrassing, yet when Robby’s dad drops him off in car draped in colors of his rival dojo he is nothing but appreciative
Sean Tottenham ikr such a dick Johnny and Daniel haven’t spoken in a while but Daniel decides to fucking hose him down then when he gets beat up he tries to play victim
The sad part is, she realized it was, was feeling remorseful about it and then Daniel told her that it wasn't her fault. They're the good guys. Which ruined her chance for character development.
My first thought is that Sam is the most poorly written character in Cobra Kai. She's not so much a person as she is a device on which the storyline is built. She has very little past except that she learned Myagi Do from Daniel at an early age. Then the Line Larussos are nothing but trouble and Johnny's narrative that Daniel was actually the antagonist who ruined his senior year. It does make a lot of sense but we cheered for Daniel & mostly everyone hates her.
@@sillambretta Well truth is there is more backstory for Sam than there was for Daniel in a 2 hour movie. All we got for Daniel was his mom moved to a new place and his dad died. He has a fling with a girl who actually was in the middle of breaking up with her boyfriend. Who had already been established as a Karate student. Basically Daniel was a mommas boy. When Johnny had a shitty mother and a even worse stepdad. The story from Johnnys side makes more sense when you read more into it. And probably was initially there but kind of dropped to favor Daniel as the protagonist of the movies. Yet seeing the movies and how Daniel reacts you notice a patern of behavior that is toxic. He is the Joseph of this story. A guy that can do anything and just be praised for it. But often he sticks his nose where it doesn't belong. Including Johnnys relationship of the first movie, his ordeals at Okinawa. And in the series where he wants to personally see Cobra Kai banned/ destroyed. Though in adult life this does not work like it did as a kid. His wife hates his move to raise the rent. And his Karate equals do not see his way at the board. Still he persists in his own arrogant ways. And it isn't working for him. Sam might be a great character if they actually do the work writing. Or else she will fall flat in season 3/4. Because if they just bring her back as Miguels sweetheart in the next season she will lose my interest. She has made serious mistakes and she has never owned up to any of it.
@Destroying Evil+ bullshit Daniel ruin his life even when he tried to get his life here come Danny boy starting up shit from over 30 years never letting it go ruining the man Danny Larusso fans just be accountable and accept the fact that your boy is a pos
At first i felt wrong for disliking Daniel but other people are making it okay. I strongly dislike his family more than him though. I hate his son and I hate his cousin Louie.
Just keep in mind these are kids we are talking about... not even seniors. Honestly, I just think Sam is a spoiled daddy's girl. Daniel obviously has some childhood traumas and that probably influenced how he raised her (over protective) What I like the most is that depending on whose perspective you see the story, you like the characters
Oh yeah she’s a total spoiled daddy’s girl but I never hated her. Just surprised that Danny’s kid turned out like that considering his upbringing. But I guess it makes sense given that he didn’t want her to suffer like he did. Truthfully I never hated any of the characters. I would just get frustrated at them but in the way you get frustrated at a friend or family member for being stupid. You don’t do it out of contempt but because you know they’re capable of being better if they could just work through their issues (and improve their communication skills in the case of cobra Kai )
She’s an actual valley girl to boot. Which is literally a global stereotype for vapidness. To grow up upper middle class in the San Fernando valley, it would be remarkable if she was portrayed as anything less.
@@MastersApprentice123 became a better person? She led cobra kai to the laser tag place and when demotris arm was about to get broken she just stood there
She reminds me of the Nancy character from Stranger Things. Plays the innocent girl, but actually creates most of the conflicts in the show thanks to her flirting with other boys, then never owning up to her selfishness and failings.
actually the part where she told Miguel it's not a date sends a double message, when they went to the putt putt golf course place, that was also "not a date" and ended with "not a kiss"
Two-faced Sam. Miguel didnt try to hit Sam, she put herself in the way when he swanged at Robbie. Miguel wasn't aiming at Sam, it was aim at Robbie another snake. Miguel is the better person.
By the end of season 1 I like Robby a lot better, both are flawed yet well written characters, but Miguel shouldn’t have been trying to hit anyone, if he had listened to what Sam was trying to say they could’ve been together still, most likely anyway
Caleb Dickerson exactly ,i felt like Cobra Kai destroyed Miguel character making him extremely agressive with no honor ,wrong path my boy, he was my fav at first but then Robbie took his place
George Zebega I can’t even act like I don’t like him now though, I think he’s a great character in every scene where he’s being himself and around Johnny and obviously when he returns the medal, plus I loved watching him put Hawk in his place
Caleb Dickerson ye i still like him too ,at the end of season 1 annoyed me but he s still one of my favs even tho he has flaws but that s what i like about this show cause there is no good and bad ,they all do mistakes which is normal
Okay, the only thing I'll disagree with you on was when Miguel accidentally hit Sam, but not for the reason you thought. It wasn't supposed to be well choreographed, the character was drunk.
Dragnet5 Tory is aggressive and psychotic people like her shouldn’t be around those who don’t want to hurt people. she should be locked up in a place were psychotic people are put.
I think the thing with Sam is she doesn't know what she wants. Look at all 3 of her boyfriends. An Alpha male turned douchebag, a underdog that became like her ex, and then there's Robbie who is a bit of a teacher's pet. She doesn't know about Robbie's past as a criminal. And then Robbie lies to her about the medal, and that's why she lies to Robbie that she doesn't know. She wants to hear why he would lie to her about the medal and manipulate her like that. Because all she's dealt with are jerks. In the end Robbie did lie to her. And he doesn't challenge her. You can be an alpha male without being a jerk. And that's what Cobra Kai is about for the students. They start out confident, but then they take it too far. Johnny and his friends learned this. But the students haven't.
Johnny distinctly told Tommy that he doesn't want his students to make the same mistakes his group did when they were in high school. But the only way to do that is to take down Kreese and remove his influence in an act of poetic justice vis-a-vis Kreese's teachings creating his own adversary (in the form of Johnny) that will ultimately lead to his fate.
@@zcm007attack True i hope Kreese is taken down in season 4 or 5 or hopefully the students see Kreese's true colors and leave him, i also hope that they redeem themselves and Johnny takes them back what do you think?
Miguel and Sam were not married. Miguel does not own Sam. Sam as most if not all young women do - keep options open for the right guy to come along and marry him. I mean be honest do you believe Miguel and Sam would end up together, Sam lives a certain lifestyle and she would want to have the same life or better, not a downgrade. Same goes for Robby who is even in a worse position, at least Miguel has a mother and grandmother that love him and take care of him, encourage him. Who does Robby have? No one.
linkintochem, ur right Sam can talk to who ever she likes but when she shows up to a party holding hands with another guy, she’s was asking for trouble
linkintochem Being married to someone does not mean you own them. They were in a relationship that they had both agreed to be a part of. With your mindset it would be justified for Miguel to be fucking a side bitch while he’s still with Sam. However, Miguel is never shown to be interested in anybody else while they were dating. On the other hand Sam was very clearly flirting with Robby while she was still with Miguel, that’s the reason for the backlash. It’s not that hard to deduce.
Sam truly is immature because she hasn’t learned what it feels like to be from the bottom because she wasn’t born in the rougher side of life. Again, not malicious, just not aware of what the lives of others are like, or at least choosing ignorance of others. She is egocentric and focusing on herself, which is similar to young Daniel until something life altering happened to see where she saw the school brawl result. Her worst fault is the fact that she’s blind to the truth and is very much like Daniel in some certain way to assume things, but Daniel is truly remorseful when he realizes he was wrong. She’s not there yet in terms on understanding how she has acted to others, not self-aware.
@@MatzeNRW1803 I feel that in the beginning la Russo was the villain because he was trying to stop Cobra Kai which is understandable because Jonny was bad at some point but seeing as how he continued to try to do better then him his actions made it look more like he was competing with him an I mean dude was rich af an Jonny was just giving meaning to his life again with kreese coming back it made it so that they could dive a little more into the past and it brought a new villain I will say that Daniel and Sam get better and get out of that villain role so if you ask me kreese is the villain now but la Russo was the villain for the most part up until the new season
@jesusbenitez5864 Amanda is the villain, that's who Sam learned everything she does from, not Daniel. Daniel was the only one attempting to stop/discipline Sam at his sneaky pool parties etc. When Amanda kept trying to Stop Daniel, telling him stop making your daughter hate you.
As much as everyone hates Sam, you’ve gotta give serious props to the writers for writing such a complex, multilayered, emotionally skewed character and to Mary Mouser for pulling it off perfectly 👏👏👏👍
I actual laugh how after Miguel breaks his back and is lying on the stairs, she waits at least a full minute until she says "Robby what did you do?" Girl, you made him to that to him, :|
@@EDAN-VIRO Miguel kissed her back and she was drunk. Ik that’s not an excuse but still, and tori was the one who started a riot instead of talking it out like a normal person. I dint see how people are blaming Sam for the whole thing
The whole point of the show is that everyone, including the “good” characters, have critical flaws and emotions that, due to miscommunication, fuel conflict.
Ding ding! I’m surprised to see people legitimately hate characters. The only character I find worthy of contempt is Kreese and maybe he ha as backstory that we’re unaware of
@@markrobinson9394 but unlike daniel he arc is not about actvely confronthing these flaws, hell the hole season 3 to daniel was a big "yiu are being a self righterous prick, cut that shit out"
@@MrRobot-0 Exactly. Miyagi constantly put Daniel in his place in the movies, but there's nobody holding Sam accountable. Miguel and Robby worship her like simps, Daniel ignores her terrible behaviour, and Sam doesn't seem to care what anyone else thinks. In fact, the only character who called Sam out on her behaviour was Aisha, and she's off the show.
Every time Johnny and Daniel seem to bury the hatchet, the kids go and screw it all up. Funny thing is no one in this show communicates anything g in any detail at all.
@@uglybetty8747 my wife and I noticed it about halfway through the first season and then the day they spent together in the first season I was thinking ok maybe it’s going to last this time, nope lol.
I noticed too. Problem is, everyone sees something and jumps straight to conclusions before they can explain. Daniel is perhaps the worst offender. He never lets anyone explain themselves. He always jumps straight to the conclusion that, "this happen because Cobra Kai bad!" Case in point: when Hawk trashed his dojo, he never let Johnny explain that it wasn't his fault. He said it's because Johnny's, "the bad guy" (sounds like a 10-year-old kid), and then tried to poach Johnny's students.
@@danbh84 Miguel could have done that if he hadn't allowed Cobra Kai philosophy to start corrupting him. Add that and the rivalry between Johnny and Danny you have a recipe for disaster.
Yeah, but Miguel doesn't really love Tory. He's using her as a rebound. He still loves Sam as evidenced when he's fighting Robby in the last episode. He tells Robby that she loves him, not Robby. Both Sam and Miguel moved onto other people quickly which shows that they are just looking for other people to be with to make each other jealous. I can't feel sorry for Tory and Robby either because they both knew that Miguel and Sam had just broken up when they moved in on them.
Season 3 just made me hate Sam a lot more she honestly is just a pass around I felt so bad for Robbie because he is misunderstood tbh she should just stay friends with both Miguel and Robbie she causes to much trouble
1:33 wow so she judges others based off the surface and has the self-righteous attitude that makes her think she has the moral high ground....sounds like a LaRusso
Sam also had to know that her parents would be looking for her after she tells Robby to take her somewhere else since she's drunk. She could have at least sent them a text instead of make Robby look like the bad guy.
Her probledm is that she doesn't really have a character. She' neither a complete $#@% like Yasmin, or an utter former nerd like Aisha. Aisha is likeable. Sam like her dad appears so self-satisfied and so keen to make assumptions without any corroborating data. Like when she accuses Tory of stealing purses - good one, literally starts a vendetta.
At the end the bully girls made better girl friends and friends than Sam, this girls so messed up she broke 2 of her lovers physically and 1 mentally without even raising a fist. Yet they make Tory look evil
I think his wife is ok tho she is on her husbands side without enforcing his stupid decisions and tries to improve daniel’s relationship with johnny so there isn’t more drama
Straight up I started liking Sam and season 1 and then it in season 2 I literally started seeing the ship she's acting like every typical woman that when you get a boyfriend who is a popular person and all because he makes a little mistake you want to break up with him and then you get to having another another boyfriend but then when you see that passed boyfriend move on to something better somebody gets jealous and that she wants him back it's the typical high school dating thing and Samantha Larusso is that basically The Stereotype of all of this she's just a bad girlfriend in general she doesn't know what she wants in life she wants Robbie and she wants Miguel at this is a crazy love triangle and the thing that sucks is that Miguel was the one that got injured in all of this
I know it’s a very odd and unfavored take but Robby is actually a really good character with a lot of room to grow and become a great person. Easily my favorite characters from the show are Miguel and Robby. I hope they can have some sort of brotherly rivalry soon
Sam has an opportunity to grow & change & do better than her father. I want to see her interact with Johnny, Kreese & Ali (If we see Elizabeth) the three of them can give Sam a better insite on who her dad really is.
@@l.f2616 No Daniel started it all Johnny wanted was to get his car repaired but Daniel had to rub it in bg y humiliating Johnny. Johnny even called Daniel out on his little princess then Daniel's cousins destroyed Johnny's car. Johnny had let some of the past go but Danny boy was carrying a huge grudge & wanted to settle the score.
I have consistently hated every single Larusso in the show, including the honorary Larusso, Robbie... Besides the wife because she's a genuinely entertaining and hard to dislike character that somehow doesn't have any traits of her shitty husband. I've already talked at length on the trailer for S3 about how I felt about season 2, but I love this show too much not to feel upset with how characters like Hawk, and Tori were treated. Don't even get me started on Dimitri. As much as I hate the Larusso's and all of Miyagi Do, I absolutely despise that character. I've never thought someone actually deserved to be bullied before but he's definitely one of them.
Amanda LaRusso is a likable character however there is one negative trait she has and that she is responsible for how spoiled her kids are. Like when Daniel got angry that Sam threw a party while they were gone, Amanda made excuses for her when she should’ve been just as angry as Daniel was. Also, when Daniel tried to get Anthony to put down his video game and enjoy the activities at the country club, she encouraged him to be a sloth.
“As she denies him faster than Peter could deny Jesus”
Christians: daaaaaaaaang
That part made me laugh.
Hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha
I just watch most season episodes of shows or movies featuring special actors and actresses mainly for the purposes of entertainment except when I watched the original karate kid movies franchise after watching that massively edited youtube video titled, daniel is the real bully in the karate kid

The connection between sam getting drunk the same day robbie's mom left for rehab was a mind blowing detail.
Thanks. I thought so too.
TheCausalParadox That’s something I never even thought of, but it’s such a good point. It really ties back into how Robby behaved on the beach when Miguel was drunk and wanted to gripe at Sam, because you know he has grown up dealing with drunk men his mom brings home. He doesn’t know Miguel or that Sam needs no protection from him, so he does the same thing he does in No Mercy- assume that Miguel is completely at fault and Sam is innocent of wrongdoing, which is also how he seems to see Johnny as opposed to Shannon. And Robby also never seems to drink himself.
@Bold One it's a fight. People say dumb and provocative shit
Robby’s mom were going away for rehab, which was actually a very good thing, and why Robby ended up turning lovingly towards her mother when they were sitting on the LaRusso couch together :-) She didn’t “leave him”, she went to get better FOR him.. Oh, and even Robby him self said to Sam, when arriving at the party, “I can use a distraction” :-)
I totally disagree with this theory
1) not only in real life that last dangerous powerful leaping side kick would have connected directly a already unconcious danny larusso
2) Miguel caused most of his own problems with kyler and his posse meaning Miguel was taught the wrong - the cobra 🐍 kai way
"She's flirting with Robbie again and this time, doing it in front of Miguel. This makes him pissed because he's normal." - Perfection, Chef's kiss.
Exactly what i thought 💯
Sam used two troubled teen boys kept switching between them and that eventually results with one physically broken and the other mentally broken
Omg i thought the same thing.... she’s disturbed
Miguel and Robby were both brought up in lone parent families, but Miguel is far more well adjusted than Robby is. The difference (between them) is that Miguel's mom was an actual parent and that Robby's mom was more like a roommate than a parent. But yeah, Samantha is a straight up sociopath.
Not only that but it ruined their parents ( Miguel and Robbie's) relationship
@@RockLee12236 Oh, it really did. I honestly thought that Johnny and Carmen would have gotten together before Season 2, but still.
she did break Miguel both ways

Miguel was also drunk af when he hit Sam.
The drinks got in the way of the cobra strike.
In all honesty he really didn’t even hit her she seemed to have stepped into his elbow as his hand connected with Robbie without seeming to have strayed all that much
Miguel didn't even swing at Sam, he swang at Robbie and Sam threw herself in the middle just in time for the slap.

Big oof for Daniel
hes not following miyagi's teachings to heart
That’s how he knows it won’t 😭😂 (to him) but I wish he would some how see that Johnny isn’t the same person he was
@@nightwolf1805 maybe in season 3 he will realize
He was kinda forced to join, he would have died if he didn’t sign the application because mike Barnes is a psychopath, and mr Miyagi didn’t train him so he kinda had to train with them but he did make a change
I didn’t like how she was with Aisha. She was only her friend when things were going bad for her. Other than that she completely throws her away
exactly
we're forgetting they were friends right up until that year. bit i agree
She comes to the party with a random dude and I’m there, and she hasn’t called or texted me all day, and she think I’m not boutta swing on somebody, she buggin 😂💯 edit: AND SHE WAS HOLDING HIS HAND TF 🤦🏾♂️😂
Deadass i woulda did the same shit
Honestly I said the same thing to myself, she shouldnt be holding another guy's hand when shes with someone else. That's something I would assume to be suspicious if I wasnt hearing the whole story first, I wouldnt swing automatically but I definitely would question it
IamJerf true that 👆🏾
IamJerf Honestly if he would’ve approached her with a different tone, and let her explain first, that situation would’ve ended way better, but I think it was because he a little drunk 🤷🏾♂️
@@1zayguapp it was definitely because he was drunk, he had no control of himself. This is also a norm for teens to also have this kind of emotion for dealing with stuff that never happened before so his anger pretty much got to him.

I came our of this just feeling bad for Miguel and Robby...
Hi
I can't believe I even felt bad for Robbie by the end of this show.
Louke Robby is a kid. It was an accident. Besides, Miguel only didn’t break his arm on a whim, and he only beat him at the all valley by fighting dirty and attacking his weak spot. He told Sam he wanted to hurt Robby as bad as possible.
Louke Honestly kids are like that in real life, but it’s often because of how they were raised. Robby was an idiot for throwing him off a railing and almost killing him, and he could’ve just knocked Miguel out instead of paralyzing him. It’s also the writers. I feel like in season 2 they didn’t know what to do with Miguel until the end.
@@tylord96 So you justify Robby almost killing Miguel then?! You fucking disgust me.
Damn Johnny and Daniel was just aboutta become friends when Sam ruined it🤦🏽♀️
@Meena Ramakrishnan cuz Sam said she can’t go home like this
Um, the writers have Sam ruining everything for everybody!
It’s clear that Robbie and Miguel are the real victims here.
@Kerbal Miles He’s what in comic book terms would be called a gray hero. He’s not bad but will do bad things if it gets the job done
Factz Sam is the villan
@Kerbal Miles Robbie is a great cast what you mean lmao
@Kerbal Miles “terribly casted”,tf? Are we even watching the same show?
@Kerbal Miles You clearly don’t know the difference between “Casted” and “Written”
I’m still kinda mad that there wasn’t any repercussions to her and her friends hitting Johnny’s car
She got put on a timeout for like 5 minutes.
It's Yasmine's fault since she was the one driving. Johnny could've get compensated for the damage if he reacted calmly, and get the driver's information. Johnny actually scared them so they Yasmine drove off. If Johnny reacted calmly when his car got hit, it won't lead to Sam getting grounded; fueling Miguel's paranoia causing them to break up. Everything is a Domino affect
it kinda does make sense. Johnny doesn't have insurance and daniel gave him a car in return. Its not meant to be a major plot point but rather a segway into Daniel and Johnny reuniting again which is why it was patched quickly and it makes sense
@@akraman7274 And Johnny wasn't going to file a police report because he was partially at fault for the whole thing by parking illegally in the middle of the street, and had been driving while drunk.
@@blarstone9322 didn’t Johnny already get compensated since Daniel fixed his car for free, making up for the damage
Daniel and Sam seem very narcissistic in this series. Here Johnny “the bully” says everyone deserves a second chance and is trying to chance a bad way of learning. Then Daniel “the hero” wants to use his power and money to ruin a small business because he doesn’t like the guy. I know they are good people at heart they just are very caught up in themselves right now.
"Everyone deserves a second chance", everyone but LaRusso who in his mind "make his life miserable", neither Johnny or Daniel try to hear their side of the story. I mean, Daniel is not perfect but Johnny isn't a saint either.
@@dreagonzalez6217 See that would work... If Johnny didn't repeadly try to squash everything with Daniel throughout the series. No he's never taken the time to try and forgive and forget with Daniel no, but he's tried to just ignore and move on with his life plenty of times where Daniel will then go out of his way to ruin Johnny.
Like after Cobra Kai won the All Valley. By that point any beef between the two of them was completely over. They were at different points in their lives and from this point on there was nothing left for them to fight over...
Until Daniel opens his own dojo literally just out of spite. Basically rekindling their rivalry.
GoldDlocs couldn’t have said it better myself. Daniel is obsessed with Johnny for some reason. He even brought Johnys kid into his home. And instead of calling Johny and planning to talk about it, he literally stops in late at night and instead of asking why his old teacher is there he decides to just use it as an excuse to take his son in and use it against him later in a fight. I mean who the heck does something like that? And he probably did it out of spite instead of doing something nice. He also basically pushed his daughter on to him. And we all know how Daniel started things with Johnny most of the time. Even when his daughter was in the hospital his first reaction isn’t “I pray my daughter is okay” it’s “let’s start a dojo war...” unbelievable. Heck he didn’t have to go with Johny on the test drive. He really didn’t if he was giving the car to him for free and that’s already the one he picked. It’s a used car for goodness sake. But he did and made him stop at his house. Like that’s weird.
@@josiemcbride3646 Daniel still thinks that Johnny is the same person he was back when they were in high school and Johnny was still a member of the old Cobra Kai (which couldn't be further from the truth). A lot of the aggro between Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do came from Daniel refusing to acknowledge that Johnny had changed. A lot of Season 2 could have been avoided if Daniel had actually told Johnny that he was briefly in Cobra Kai instead of just telling his students. The test drive sequence would have been the perfect time for Daniel to say it.
Johnny is a better Sensei than Daniel is because he realised that how he was taught Karate was wrong and that it doesn't work for everybody. Daniel, on the other hand, tried to teach his students the same way he was taught without actually realising that what worked for him wouldn't work for someone like Robby. And Daniel was trying to mould/shape Robby into a younger version of him while Johnny actively avoided making his students extensions of himself. It's ironic how the person who wasn't taught by Mr Miyagi got more things right when it came to teaching people than the person who actually was.
Oh, and Johnny's relationship with his students is healthier than Daniel's. Especially his relationship with Miguel.
At the start Daniel had no ill will towards Johnny, even going as far as to pay for a new car for him (bare in mind at this point he had no way of knowing Sam caused the damage). Daniel is at war with Cobra Kai as an institution, and this has less to do with Johnny Lawrence, and more to do with Jonh Kreese, Terry Silver, and Mike Barnes - all of whom participated in a psychological warfare campaign to destroy Daniel in Karate Kid 3. You can see it in Macchio's performance, he has Cobra Kai PTSD, but its not because Johnny pushed him down a hill, its because Terry Silver tried to peal open his mind and destroy his soul.
Hawk has all ways backed up Miguel they are like brother's
Absolutely. Be sure to watch my Hawk video. I think you'll like it.
Hawk is a great arc. He gains a backbone which dramatically improves his life. Then he goes too far with it.
@@WatchParty1 Ever since Hawk stole a freaking medal of honor, I hated his fucking guts. Being a bit of a prick is one thing but now the dude is just psycho.
jyoder1 so true, I love his character development, and at this point I love watching him but hate him as a person, he’s very well written and fun to hate sometimes😂
I feel like hawk will be one of/ the best character when the series ends. But yeah he's an asshole now. excited for more development on his character.
Man I didn’t like Sam, always acting such an innocent girl, but then cheating on Robbie
yep
Cheated on Miguel first actually, but agreed she is an awful character
@@thee_morpheus how did she cheat on Miguel? :D
@@rafalos-zx6go How's about not showing up to a party holding another guy's hand for starters. Hand holding is one of those small relationship indicators. Some things are just off limits if you're in a relationship with another person. And this is after she hadn't responded to him all day, I know LaRusso's wife was being a B but wtf is he supposed to think?
@@thee_morpheus I had to watch that part again to see if they were holding hands lmaoooo. I mean I get you but they were going down a hill :D. I don't know if you can call that cheating. Ofc as Miguel he had no clue what was going on and blew up.
"I expect you to act like a normal person!"
That was the moment I heavily disliked Sam. Miguel's behavior was literally the most normal reaction in the world
She was running down the hill holding Robby's hand and she expected Miguel to just be ok with it
Don't think it's a normal reaction to hit ur girlfriend in the face and knock her down so...
But it was a normal reaction to get mad at Robby or Sam just not hit either
@@thewildonion1156 he didn’t even mean to hit her,you act as is if he did it on purpose,she tried to stop him and robby from fighting and got caught in the crossfire because she decided to get between the fight
@@CryoCK that's why I said it was a normal reaction to be mad, but he still shouldn't have tried to hit anyone.
Remember when everyone were at 80's theme Club .. The skating one... Miguel asked Sam why she's on a Date with Robby? and Sam said " It's not a Date"
After 5 minutes, She kissed Robby casually.
She's a Compulsive Liar and Narcissist.
That was a call back to when Miguel and Sam went out together in season 1 and said it wasn't a date.
"It's not a date!"
Well no, but actually yes.
You Sam haters are so dumb! I can only guess you are young and naive.
SkemeKOS have any way to support the argument of her not being a legit narcissistic?
@@NCMETAL Daniel is narcisist, but Sam is just spoiled.
Drunk Miguel gets a pass on a half-assed swing punch that he probably tried to pull back as he threw it also making it more awkward, then Sam just getting in the way and eating it.
I would like to think good karate training is still there while drunk. But, yes, others have said that as well.
It was just before the All-Valley. I think part of it is he's swinging with his off (left) hand. It's not a proper punch.
@@WatchParty1 if you're good enough to win a major tourny, you can use your off-hand. But he was drunk AF, and that will affect your coordination pretty badly. And even though he hit Sam, she never developed a bruise from it or there would have been no keeping it from her parents, so it was a very weak hit.
But the lack of coordination, the fact that she was more or less behind him so it was the wind up that she caught rather than an actual punch, and it was probably the forearm and not fist or elbow all probably contributed to it being weak contact.
@@WatchParty1 Most karate styles don't teach the right-handed/southpaw thing as most katas are made to be done to both sides, most people still will favour their dominant hand but all karateka are naturally ambidextrous
(Sorry if shitty english, it's been long time no using english)
@@WatchParty1 it's karate, not drunken boxing
It always annoyed me how Sam broke up with Miguel because of something he did while drunk at a party. Then a season later, she gets drunk and does something far worse at a party, and doesn't accept responsibility for it until after a huge brawl breaks out because of it. Actually, accepting responsibility only after her bad behaviour blows up in her face is something of a pattern with this character.
“Stop being misogynistic”
@Lone Wanderer you just wanted to type shit, didn't you? 😂
Well, maybe hitting someone is bad, but image the roles were reversed? Sam was a guy who drunkenly tripped on Miguel, who'd be a girl, and kissed her. It wouldn't change a thing, but fans would get so angry. Especially when the ot followed through with the love story.
"She will immediately lie & deny it. This is a reflex faster than any Karate move she knows" DAMN! That's a harsh burn but accurate as hell.
In dissecting Sam, I have a new appreciation of Robby even though I hated him for the first two seasons. Dudes just a simp and doesn’t know it, because his parents were horrible examples 🤣
On god
Sam is his ticket to a normal family life too. Robbie lost everything.
@@maesschoolsannex9038 no

Lolololol so true but he has the potential to improve himself tho . Let's see wut happens.
Sam has to be one of my hated person because she is ungrateful and she got other people in trouble including Robby. She is a worst girlfriend and a worst friend.

Shes cool but mother fucker was about to kill Samantha in the last episode with that knuckle thing
Sam is a small percentage of what Robby was fighting for, he's furious his dad was never a part of his life. Johnny is more of a father to Miguel than Robby. He was forced to grow up too fast and I hope he's able to work through that in the next season.
Tory cared about Miguel way more then Sam did. Tory didn't even blame Miguel for those two kissing, because she knew Sam was being manipulative and trying to take advantage of Miguels feelings.
when Sam said he shouldn't be hitting anyone, everyone i have heard talk about this completely ignore the fact that Robby actually prompted Miguel to throw a punch
Damn, I always thought Tory was better for Miguel anyways. She relates to him harder and they have good back and forth chemistry. This definitely solidifies it.
But then again, tori isnt without problems of her own, like her extreme gullibility in believing anything that comes out of kreeses word hole, and her borderline homicidal tendencies. Tory is bad for different reasons, but she isnt trying to hide how awful she is, so she is better by default.
Miguel deserves someone better than Sam or Tori.
Along Came A Spider tori is also bad though, she literally tried to kill Sam. She is the antagonist
@@theredheadrevolution4156 I believe her nativity is mostly because Kresse used her home life (Seen in season 3) to get her under his control. Same with Robby, Kreese used their pain and problems to sink his fangs into them.
They both suck
she was definitely the reason for Miguel's injury. Her fault he is probably gonna be on a wheelchair or something next season
Miguel kissed her too, and was the one who started the fight with Robbie, who was just trying to break it up. Got him damn self injured.
@@RagnarokMic ok to be honest about the fight if you ran up and saw your ex girlfriends boyfriend putting his hands on your girlfriend what would you do and I'm sure miguel didn't hear Robby say lets work this out over all the yelling and screaming
@@thefruityloops2958 Doesn't make it Sam's fault, Miguel entered the situation without understanding what was happening, on top of being equally culpable for the kiss that started the entire thing to begin with, can't put his injury on anyone else...well, except Robbie, as he was the one that literally did it (in a moment of anger).
@ He literally leans right in for that kiss, he had ages to pull away and actually decline, and he went for it, that kiss was 50/50, plain and simple.
And by the time Miguel came in, Robbie was standing between the two of them, holding Sam at a distance too...if you get injured because you misinterpret a situation, that’s still your own fault.
@@RagnarokMic lmao the show is FULL of misinterpreting situations. it's honestly infuriating when you notice it. but the fight (and most notably the injury) was the "fault" of so so many people; sam, miguel, robby, and tory, even hawk if you think abt it. all them mfs will do anything BUT tell the truth and communicate.
with the slight exception of miguel who has at least made minimal attempts at fixing things (tried to confront the larussos, wanted to end the fight with robby), but he was the one who got injured anyways
Man, poor Robby, he deserves a loyal and loving gf like Tory (except the psycho part of her, which is mostly understandable). He and Miguel got played like a fiddle by Sam and I hope both of them fully reject her as the show progresses.

Johnny Warn Miguel about those Larussos nothing but trouble
My first thought is that Sam is the most poorly written character in Cobra Kai. She's not so much a person as she is a device on which the storyline is built. She has very little past except that she learned Myagi Do from Daniel at an early age. Then the Line Larussos are nothing but trouble and Johnny's narrative that Daniel was actually the antagonist who ruined his senior year. It does make a lot of sense but we cheered for Daniel & mostly everyone hates her.
@@sillambretta Well truth is there is more backstory for Sam than there was for Daniel in a 2 hour movie. All we got for Daniel was his mom moved to a new place and his dad died. He has a fling with a girl who actually was in the middle of breaking up with her boyfriend. Who had already been established as a Karate student.
Basically Daniel was a mommas boy. When Johnny had a shitty mother and a even worse stepdad. The story from Johnnys side makes more sense when you read more into it. And probably was initially there but kind of dropped to favor Daniel as the protagonist of the movies.
Yet seeing the movies and how Daniel reacts you notice a patern of behavior that is toxic. He is the Joseph of this story. A guy that can do anything and just be praised for it. But often he sticks his nose where it doesn't belong. Including Johnnys relationship of the first movie, his ordeals at Okinawa. And in the series where he wants to personally see Cobra Kai banned/ destroyed.
Though in adult life this does not work like it did as a kid. His wife hates his move to raise the rent. And his Karate equals do not see his way at the board. Still he persists in his own arrogant ways. And it isn't working for him.
Sam might be a great character if they actually do the work writing. Or else she will fall flat in season 3/4. Because if they just bring her back as Miguels sweetheart in the next season she will lose my interest. She has made serious mistakes and she has never owned up to any of it.
@Destroying Evil+ bullshit Daniel ruin his life even when he tried to get his life here come Danny boy starting up shit from over 30 years never letting it go ruining the man Danny Larusso fans just be accountable and accept the fact that your boy is a pos

Just keep in mind these are kids we are talking about... not even seniors.
Honestly, I just think Sam is a spoiled daddy's girl. Daniel obviously has some childhood traumas and that probably influenced how he raised her (over protective)
What I like the most is that depending on whose perspective you see the story, you like the characters
Oh yeah she’s a total spoiled daddy’s girl but I never hated her. Just surprised that Danny’s kid turned out like that considering his upbringing. But I guess it makes sense given that he didn’t want her to suffer like he did.
Truthfully I never hated any of the characters. I would just get frustrated at them but in the way you get frustrated at a friend or family member for being stupid. You don’t do it out of contempt but because you know they’re capable of being better if they could just work through their issues (and improve their communication skills in the case of cobra Kai )
She’s an actual valley girl to boot. Which is literally a global stereotype for vapidness. To grow up upper middle class in the San Fernando valley, it would be remarkable if she was portrayed as anything less.

The most well written characters are miguel and Johnny lawrence
Hawks pretty good too
Hawk too
What about hawk?
actually the part where she told Miguel it's not a date sends a double message, when they went to the putt putt golf course place, that was also "not a date" and ended with "not a kiss"
Two-faced Sam. Miguel didnt try to hit Sam, she put herself in the way when he swanged at Robbie. Miguel wasn't aiming at Sam, it was aim at Robbie another snake. Miguel is the better person.
By the end of season 1 I like Robby a lot better, both are flawed yet well written characters, but Miguel shouldn’t have been trying to hit anyone, if he had listened to what Sam was trying to say they could’ve been together still, most likely anyway

Dragnet5 Tory is aggressive and psychotic people like her shouldn’t be around those who don’t want to hurt people. she should be locked up in a place were psychotic people are put.
I think the thing with Sam is she doesn't know what she wants. Look at all 3 of her boyfriends. An Alpha male turned douchebag, a underdog that became like her ex, and then there's Robbie who is a bit of a teacher's pet. She doesn't know about Robbie's past as a criminal. And then Robbie lies to her about the medal, and that's why she lies to Robbie that she doesn't know. She wants to hear why he would lie to her about the medal and manipulate her like that. Because all she's dealt with are jerks. In the end Robbie did lie to her. And he doesn't challenge her. You can be an alpha male without being a jerk. And that's what Cobra Kai is about for the students. They start out confident, but then they take it too far. Johnny and his friends learned this. But the students haven't.
Miguel learned.
Johnny distinctly told Tommy that he doesn't want his students to make the same mistakes his group did when they were in high school. But the only way to do that is to take down Kreese and remove his influence in an act of poetic justice vis-a-vis Kreese's teachings creating his own adversary (in the form of Johnny) that will ultimately lead to his fate.
@@STKHub So did Aisha.
In The end Robby assumed that he lied to her, but she did not say anything about the kiss between her and Miguel (sorry for my bad english)
@@zcm007attack True i hope Kreese is taken down in season 4 or 5 or hopefully the students see Kreese's true colors and leave him, i also hope that they redeem themselves and Johnny takes them back what do you think?
Yeah, she was making goo-goo eyes at Robby as soon as she saw him and then she had the nerve to blame Miguel about getting upset at her
Miguel and Sam were not married. Miguel does not own Sam. Sam as most if not all young women do - keep options open for the right guy to come along and marry him. I mean be honest do you believe Miguel and Sam would end up together, Sam lives a certain lifestyle and she would want to have the same life or better, not a downgrade. Same goes for Robby who is even in a worse position, at least Miguel has a mother and grandmother that love him and take care of him, encourage him.
Who does Robby have? No one.
linkintochem, ur right Sam can talk to who ever she likes but when she shows up to a party holding hands with another guy, she’s was asking for trouble
I guess when people watch this they forgot that miguel was somewhat drunk... tipsy
linkintochem your weird. Miguel and Sam were in a serious relationship what r u talking about
linkintochem Being married to someone does not mean you own them. They were in a relationship that they had both agreed to be a part of. With your mindset it would be justified for Miguel to be fucking a side bitch while he’s still with Sam. However, Miguel is never shown to be interested in anybody else while they were dating. On the other hand Sam was very clearly flirting with Robby while she was still with Miguel, that’s the reason for the backlash. It’s not that hard to deduce.
Sam truly is immature because she hasn’t learned what it feels like to be from the bottom because she wasn’t born in the rougher side of life. Again, not malicious, just not aware of what the lives of others are like, or at least choosing ignorance of others. She is egocentric and focusing on herself, which is similar to young Daniel until something life altering happened to see where she saw the school brawl result. Her worst fault is the fact that she’s blind to the truth and is very much like Daniel in some certain way to assume things, but Daniel is truly remorseful when he realizes he was wrong. She’s not there yet in terms on understanding how she has acted to others, not self-aware.
I’ve always seen Daniel and Sam as the villains and Miguel, Robby, and Johnny as victims of the delrusso know it all personalities
If Daniel and Sam are the VILLIANS (can understand the thought, just want to discuss the series a bit) what is Kreese in your mind?
@@MatzeNRW1803 I feel that in the beginning la Russo was the villain because he was trying to stop Cobra Kai which is understandable because Jonny was bad at some point but seeing as how he continued to try to do better then him his actions made it look more like he was competing with him an I mean dude was rich af an Jonny was just giving meaning to his life again with kreese coming back it made it so that they could dive a little more into the past and it brought a new villain I will say that Daniel and Sam get better and get out of that villain role so if you ask me kreese is the villain now but la Russo was the villain for the most part up until the new season
@jesusbenitez5864 Amanda is the villain, that's who Sam learned everything she does from, not Daniel. Daniel was the only one attempting to stop/discipline Sam at his sneaky pool parties etc. When Amanda kept trying to Stop Daniel, telling him stop making your daughter hate you.
Fr everyone blames stuff on Daniel, Amanda needs to be a parent too
Sam is easily the worst character on the show.
Nahhhhh Demitre is the worst. Scrawny and cocky but yet he can’t defend a thing😂
ItsShaun the second demetri walked in and was talking like that to kreese I knew he was about to get fucked up😂😂
Demetri needs to stop nagging bout almost everything .
*Antonio Larusso has entered the chat.*
No. It's Kreese.
Robbie is one of my favorite characters and sam literally mentally broke my boy
As much as everyone hates Sam, you’ve gotta give serious props to the writers for writing such a complex, multilayered, emotionally skewed character and to Mary Mouser for pulling it off perfectly 👏👏👏👍
I actual laugh how after Miguel breaks his back and is lying on the stairs, she waits at least a full minute until she says "Robby what did you do?"
Girl, you made him to that to him, :|
I wish That was Sam bro she’s such an annoying person
How did she make him do that?
@@arsemas.9265 She started the drama witch led to the fight
@@EDAN-VIRO Miguel kissed her back and she was drunk. Ik that’s not an excuse but still, and tori was the one who started a riot instead of talking it out like a normal person. I dint see how people are blaming Sam for the whole thing
@@arsemas.9265 well yes but she started the kiss that started all the drama
your cobra kai videos are really fun man, the sam videos are 100% on point
Damn this man just opened up my eyes to a whole new perspective.
Keep going bro. There's 3 videos on Sam. Check them all.
WatchParty I was literally about to do that god videos man.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO THINKS DEEPLY ABOUT EACH CHARACTER LIKE MEEEE
The whole point of the show is that everyone, including the “good” characters, have critical flaws and emotions that, due to miscommunication, fuel conflict.
Ding ding! I’m surprised to see people legitimately hate characters. The only character I find worthy of contempt is Kreese and maybe he ha as backstory that we’re unaware of
@@alyssapinon9670 "I killed my commander after he told me my girlfriend died in a car crash"
@@federicocaputo9966 yeah I made this comment before I watched season 3. Kreese’s backstory was 😨
Wow, I didn't think about it, but Sam is really a horrible person.
James he's reaching a bit. She has flaws sure but it's clear she cares about Miguel
@@thecockneyterritory4869 Nope, she takes most of her flaws from her father. Many of us were saying this about Daniel back in the 80’s.
@@markrobinson9394 but unlike daniel he arc is not about actvely confronthing these flaws, hell the hole season 3 to daniel was a big "yiu are being a self righterous prick, cut that shit out"
You are so not wrong if i had her i will attack her!
@@MrRobot-0 Exactly. Miyagi constantly put Daniel in his place in the movies, but there's nobody holding Sam accountable. Miguel and Robby worship her like simps, Daniel ignores her terrible behaviour, and Sam doesn't seem to care what anyone else thinks. In fact, the only character who called Sam out on her behaviour was Aisha, and she's off the show.
Every time Johnny and Daniel seem to bury the hatchet, the kids go and screw it all up.
Funny thing is no one in this show communicates anything g in any detail at all.
Omg exactly!!! It's an effin pattern. Finally someone who saw dat point.
@@uglybetty8747 my wife and I noticed it about halfway through the first season and then the day they spent together in the first season I was thinking ok maybe it’s going to last this time, nope lol.
I noticed too. Problem is, everyone sees something and jumps straight to conclusions before they can explain. Daniel is perhaps the worst offender. He never lets anyone explain themselves. He always jumps straight to the conclusion that, "this happen because Cobra Kai bad!"
Case in point: when Hawk trashed his dojo, he never let Johnny explain that it wasn't his fault. He said it's because Johnny's, "the bad guy" (sounds like a 10-year-old kid), and then tried to poach Johnny's students.
Also, it's ironic that the only pairs who DO communicate are Johnny and Miguel, and Johnny and Kreese.
when she yelled at Robby after Miguel fell... bro I lost it, I was like shut up Sam!
Yes, I hate Miguel and her being together.
i was hoping Miguel would make her better
@@danbh84 Miguel could have done that if he hadn't allowed Cobra Kai philosophy to start corrupting him. Add that and the rivalry between Johnny and Danny you have a recipe for disaster.
@Cole Jones i hope she gets that from terry silver or mike barnes lol
Yeah, but Miguel doesn't really love Tory. He's using her as a rebound. He still loves Sam as evidenced when he's fighting Robby in the last episode. He tells Robby that she loves him, not Robby. Both Sam and Miguel moved onto other people quickly which shows that they are just looking for other people to be with to make each other jealous. I can't feel sorry for Tory and Robby either because they both knew that Miguel and Sam had just broken up when they moved in on them.
@@sidearmsalpha no one loves anyone, they're kids
Season 3 just made me hate Sam a lot more she honestly is just a pass around I felt so bad for Robbie because he is misunderstood tbh she should just stay friends with both Miguel and Robbie she causes to much trouble
daniel is taking the biggest L ever. His daughter is getting piped down by his arch enemys son. end of story
@@litaf5104 exactly bruh I can’t stand her at all and I love music too:)
Dating Sam pros: So damn pretty
Dating Sam cons: Everything else
"She rich, he poor". Had me laughing
Thanks. I think that was an underrated line.
@@WatchParty1 it was funny how you said it cus i hate sam
When you think about it Robby is actually a great character it’s just he does messed up stuff to get revengeb
He has a tragic hero vibe in him . Hope the writers give him dat arc .
1:33 wow so she judges others based off the surface and has the self-righteous attitude that makes her think she has the moral high ground....sounds like a LaRusso
Well daniels wife is somewhat respectable
And his mom
Roman And Kaylee Mc YMCA Roblox FNAF Blog and More “son” lol
WARNING, DO NOT GET WITHIN 2 FEET OF SAM'S FACE, SHE WILL KISS YOU!!!
Sam is a BITCH!! in the movie.
@@igorvdb1819 true
Lmaoo
Sam also had to know that her parents would be looking for her after she tells Robby to take her somewhere else since she's drunk. She could have at least sent them a text instead of make Robby look like the bad guy.
Well, at 6:50... Sam was watching miguel CLEARLY defend himself. He didn't start the fight, he just fought back and protected himself.
"Its not a date" kisses Robby
5:48 “This makes him pissed cause he’s normal” Someone who understands 👌
You got it! 👌Back at ya.
Sam is basically cobra Kai’s version of Mary Jane Watson(Sam raimi edition)
Exactly
Her probledm is that she doesn't really have a character. She' neither a complete $#@% like Yasmin, or an utter former nerd like Aisha. Aisha is likeable. Sam like her dad appears so self-satisfied and so keen to make assumptions without any corroborating data. Like when she accuses Tory of stealing purses - good one, literally starts a vendetta.
Tori is definitely a better match than Sam. Spoiled, manipulative, sheltered and judgemental. Sam is a walking disaster.
At the end the bully girls made better girl friends and friends than Sam, this girls so messed up she broke 2 of her lovers physically and 1 mentally without even raising a fist. Yet they make Tory look evil
"This makes him pissed because he's normal" Lmao so true
The writers consistently portrays the larussos as bad people who think they're great people.
Daniel and his wife are alright.
@@TemporaryInsane Daniel improved at least.
@@pesciisthebestcharacter5100 no he didn't him and his daughter causes all the conflict
@@TemporaryInsane at least Daniel knows he isn't always doing the right thing.
I think his wife is ok tho she is on her husbands side without enforcing his stupid decisions and tries to improve daniel’s relationship with johnny so there isn’t more drama
I love Miguel he’s always so caring and innocent
I love me too
Straight up I started liking Sam and season 1 and then it in season 2 I literally started seeing the ship she's acting like every typical woman that when you get a boyfriend who is a popular person and all because he makes a little mistake you want to break up with him and then you get to having another another boyfriend but then when you see that passed boyfriend move on to something better somebody gets jealous and that she wants him back it's the typical high school dating thing and Samantha Larusso is that basically The Stereotype of all of this she's just a bad girlfriend in general she doesn't know what she wants in life she wants Robbie and she wants Miguel at this is a crazy love triangle and the thing that sucks is that Miguel was the one that got injured in all of this
kinglionheart450 punctuation might help someone like me read this long ass sentence.
Miguel injured, Robby broken mentally... And Sam caused it.
I know it’s a very odd and unfavored take but Robby is actually a really good character with a lot of room to grow and become a great person. Easily my favorite characters from the show are Miguel and Robby. I hope they can have some sort of brotherly rivalry soon
For I saw this video I hated Robbie and want Sam and Miguel together but now I hate Sam and hope Robbie and Miguel become friends 😂
That's the spirit!
Sam has an opportunity to grow & change & do better than her father. I want to see her interact with Johnny, Kreese & Ali (If we see Elizabeth) the three of them can give Sam a better insite on who her dad really is.
Daniel not even that bad
I don’t hate either of them but u for sure have never watched the first one, who started this johnny did over jealousy
@@l.f2616 No Daniel started it all Johnny wanted was to get his car repaired but Daniel had to rub it in bg y humiliating Johnny. Johnny even called Daniel out on his little princess then Daniel's cousins destroyed Johnny's car. Johnny had let some of the past go but Danny boy was carrying a huge grudge & wanted to settle the score.
Catspaw Gardner idiot I’m talking about the movie
M
I have consistently hated every single Larusso in the show, including the honorary Larusso, Robbie... Besides the wife because she's a genuinely entertaining and hard to dislike character that somehow doesn't have any traits of her shitty husband.
I've already talked at length on the trailer for S3 about how I felt about season 2, but I love this show too much not to feel upset with how characters like Hawk, and Tori were treated.
Don't even get me started on Dimitri. As much as I hate the Larusso's and all of Miyagi Do, I absolutely despise that character. I've never thought someone actually deserved to be bullied before but he's definitely one of them.
Swing wong you are wrong
Amanda LaRusso is a likable character however there is one negative trait she has and that she is responsible for how spoiled her kids are. Like when Daniel got angry that Sam threw a party while they were gone, Amanda made excuses for her when she should’ve been just as angry as Daniel was. Also, when Daniel tried to get Anthony to put down his video game and enjoy the activities at the country club, she encouraged him to be a sloth.
@@ShinRyojin yeah her downfall is being an enabler
The writers are still pushing Sam and Miguel to this day. In reality Miguel would have been done with her.
Daniel: "cobra Kai will never change "
he isn't following miyagis teaching to heart. Mr miyagi would never say things like that
The Sam getting drunk and bringing up the most toxic elements of Robbie's relationship with his alcoholic parents hit damn close to home.
This is some of the reasons I love Robby because he has had one of the worst lived in cobra kai but people only tall about the the bad things he did
Sam is just toxic as Ali. Robby is on the run and Miguel's life is on the line
bruh what Ali did?
@@rickyplaysyt4322 Dumped Daniel for some random footy guy. Reason unknown at this point.
@@jerryhuang1999 Season 3 made it clear that's not what happened, it was a misunderstanding from daniel.
Tory is so much nicer than sam I would be so pissed of if sam gets back with Miguel
Well she was at first until thing went down hill with Sam at the party
Facts
Neil O Connor
I don't think Miguel would get back with her
@@lethumthiyane5245 good I hope he stays with tory
Miguel deserves better than Sam or Tory
“Enemies for a day, cobra Kai for life” like the best scene
You can obviously see how she's looking out for her well being, and wanting everything that is convenient for her.
Yep. Typical hypergamy.
Kinda sad I didn’t see this video sooner it was really good
Hey you see it when you see it. Glad you liked it. Thanks!
