No mercy!
Who is Kyler? I only saw season 1. Was he in it?
Dude he was the REASON cobra kai was resurrected!
Kyler was in episode 1 when Johnny saved Miguel from Kyler. Cobra kai re-opened in order to wage war on Kyler. Now Kyler is their top student.
I loved those two seasons, kind of hated the third. It felt like the tension and consequences they built up well ended up being very minor and the high school drama really takes over. It felt like there was outside pressure to change direction or something, might not be the case but it seemed like it to me at least. If you didn't like it through season 2, I don't think you'd enjoy it watching on.
Season 3 was great but it was all over the place. You had John Kreese flashback which was needed. But Daniel going to Okinawa and meeting Kumiko and Chozen created a shift from the current storyline which is teen drama.
Yessssssssssss. I hope Stingray joins Kreese too. Stingrays still has untapped potential.
Stingray is the happy go lucky version of Junie Lunatik Browning. Both are nuts and wild but Stingray is more lighthearted and less violent.
That's reading quite a bit into a belt buckle but it's possible. Maybe he crossed paths with Dutch in the slammer...
But Terry Silver looks like he means business. I like it.
That back and forth stuff between Daniel and Johnny was cornball shit though. I hope they keep that "Johnny says X, Daniel says the opposite right after" to a minimum. I don't want to see the same joke 30 times.
He still has money but from the looks of it, it seems like he got in to a scuffle. I feel like that was not the first time him and Kreese met in terms of reunion. I think their reunion was not shown in the trailer. Probably all happy and jovial but when Terry went to meet Daniel, Daniel must have gotten on his nerves which made Terry livid.
Kreese is smirking because now he knows that Terry is all in on this revenge as oppose to psychological revenge, it seems Terry wants to get physical.
I'm almost more impressed with Kyler than anyone. He spent years in wrestling, which is a tough sport to go in to with an ego so he either started young or stuck through in school and became good enough to build an ego. Then he gets his ass kicked and is humble enough to take on a new sport he isn't good at yet so that he can improve himself. Very tough, especially for someone who has a niche they're comfortable in.
Not like he was bullying through sheer size or just being ruthless, he built his skill up. Was he dick? Absolutely. But a big theme of the show is that good and evil is about perspective and every teenager can be assholes at times.
I think the show's kind of given up on the initial concept of subverting the original movie, those interesting storylines have played out, and now we're at a stage where it's about nostalgia and the same basic dynamics of the original movie.
I am super impressed but I wonder one thing, I wonder if Kyler is related to Master Kim Sung Yung. I mean the actor is Korean and I feel like they picked him because they saw that his character may have potential if the actor sold him well. Joe Seo did an amazing job as Kyler and now they might make it so that he is a relative of Master Kim who is a Tang Soo Do legend!
Also, Kylers dad is super strict, this might explain that he has some crazy good work ethic but because he is being bullied and overly pushed by his dad, he has anger issues that he takes out on other kids as oppose to Kyler being evil.
I talked about how Terry as a show of gratitude helped Master Kims son to migrate to America and his son had a son who ended up being Kyler.
people like him exist in adult striking class. Some season of TUF you can sorta see it. They opened up the can of worms,. more adults joining the fight would actually up the stakes anyway.
Stingray is crazy and in a way he is a man child who is still in to the martial arts and having a fantasy of being a great fighter.
