I swear, I end up feeling empty, like you’ve taken something out of me, and I have to search my body for the scars, thinking Did he find that one last tender place to sink his teeth in?

something rly funny about terry being like “no i’m normal now i don’t gaslight and terrorise children anymore” and as soon as daniel gets mentioned he throws that out the whole goddamn window like not normal anymore i lied i’m back where’s my boy
l.a. winter by the endlessly talented louisa melcher gives me strong daniel larusso vibes i’m so sorry
these lines scream terry silver to me
Mr. Miyagi l Terry Silver parallels (insp.)
History repeats itself...I'M SCARED-
(But Terry is a manical, tactical badass. I'm not wrong😎😎)
THE FREAKING PARALLELS I LOVE IT
This is going to be one intense war...redeemed villain against current villain😳👀👀
CAN YOU HEAR ME SCREAMING
Do you think that Terry is particularly impressed by any of the Cobra Kai teens? Not just the kids in Cobra Kai, but the Miyagi Do kids as well?
Eh, no, not really? Maybe? No?
I don't think the current generation of Cobra Kai teens is raw enough for Terry. Juxtapose them all with Mike Barnes in the 80's, who was also a teen. Now that was Terry's cup of tea, more like. Mike Barnes never needed to be reminded, told or reprimanded to hurt Daniel, for example, like Tory needed to be with Sam during the tournament, also as an example. Mike Barnes was here winning and losing points, prolonging the agony, scaring Daniel to the point of petrified trauma and where he couldn't even contemplate fighting (even though he very much had the skill), he was throwing him and Jessica off of cliffs and being way too much into it at all, busting into Miyagi's Little Trees and vandalizing the place with Snake and Dennis, stealing the actual little trees that nearly bankrupted both Mr. Miyagi and Daniel, wreaking havoc, wreaking mayhem for a paycheck like the mercenary that he proudly is, busting up things and being a true agent of chaos the likes of which tickles Terry's sadistic appetites just fine. In Terry's own words, he was perfect. Or in Margaret's words, he was obnoxious. Either ways, meanwhile ---
Tory feels too much obvious sympathy for the enemy (Sam).
Tory is also visibly displeased at the referee being bribed.
In Terry's opinion, only a special type of backstabber snitches on themselves.
Robby is on the verge of reconciliating with his neglectful father. Who is also the enemy (Johnny).
Kenny is a bit too young.
Stingray is literally begging and pleading to be let into Cobra Kai.
Who's left? Kyler?
Thing is, from Terry's point of view and based on Terry's tastes and philosophy (and probably an overall generational disconnect), Cobra Kai lacks that bit of 'unf' incarnated in a perfect fighter who has both the skill and the innate mercilessness and downright Machiavellian ruthlessness needed to actually be a star in every sense. I don't think anyone specifically qualifies or stands out in that regard. His standards are quite high. As for the Miyagi Do's? The Miyagi Do's are Miyagi Do's. They're children and he views them like children. Don't think he has an opinion on the Eagle Fangs other than seeing them as lowbrow and a bit of a joke, cruel as that may sound --- Terry is Terry. Which is why him reconnecting with Mike Barnes (in case it does happen in Season 5) seems so valid. Mike Barnes would've been the most rabid, opportunistic dog Terry was ever in possession of where students were concerned and he would've missed and found immense convenience in such violence and tenacity because the kids of today he's surrounded with simply lack it.
Well, in the amounts he prefers it, anyway.
When you watch S5 and saw the literal mess it is, and you already make plans to rewrite and change S5 in your fanfic. But realize you are still in S1 of your fanfic.
Which is me right now 😒😒😒
(not pointing out the Daniel and Chozen scenes because those were *chefs kiss*)
Does anyone also feel how rushed season 5 was? The Mexico plot should have been longer with Miguel going through traumatic endeavors with his father. Giving him bigger character development.
Miguel's and Robby's relationship should've had alot more build up and for them to have alot of awkwardness, with Miguel apologizing to him for his actions from season 1 as Robby apologizes to him for the accident at school. (Not that I'm not happy that they're on better terms and friends, but there should have been a bigger progress and build up to being comfortable with each other and Miguel being the one to admit he shouldn't antagonize Robby)
Another thing is Tory's arc should've been with more detail and how her redemption making a bigger impact on the heroes and Cobra Kai students with Terry's nefarious plans. Plus this would've been better for Tory's growth with making amends with Sam
The writers should have added more backstories to the other senseis of Cobra Kai and how each of them became what they are. Along with Kim Sung Yang's legacy and what made him to be a fierce and brutal karate master that led him to indoctrinate Kreese, Silver, Kim Da-Eun and the OG Cobra Kais.
Season 5 was a literal mess with detail and super rushed
What I will say about Season 5 is how detail oriented they were with Daniel's PTSD and trauma regarding Silver. It wasn't in depth throughout the seasons but they finally show what Silver's psychological warfare and trying to corrupt Daniel can do
How Daniel played into his hands back in 1985 and the deeply rooted mental and emotional turmoil that affected him and causes Daniel to feel frightened and terrified - not angry - of his encounters with Silver
Silver is just an amazing villain, and being a billionaire with utmost influence and power can still allow him to cause panic and despair with his ambitions and goals
This is so stupid but like, what isn’t so screw it I’m posting this. His name would probably be Quicksilver for obvious reasons so I made his cutie mark like a comic action effect and mercury (which is quicksilver). Anyways Twas my first attempt making two versions using the same general drawing and I think it turned out rather good. Anyways I will probably make more designs for Cobra Kai mainly for characters I have some ideas for so it will be in no particular order. God this is so stupid but cringe culture is dead ig.
