Miyagi didn’t seem concerned about Kreese’s death


After learning the tragic news of Sensei Kreese’s passing, in which he hypothetically played a major role, Miyagi barely pauses to reflect on the damage he’s caused. What a sociopath.

reply

Miyagi could tell Silver was lying

reply

Why would he, Kreese was an asshole to him

reply

He was a human being and fellow karate instructor.

reply

True, he acknowledged it though and said I'm sorry.

reply

This is the greatest discussion/argument thread in moviechat history!

reply

Miyagi left a trail of destruction in his wake, rarely pausing to reflect on the consequences of his actions. It’s important to raise awareness about the harm caused by psychopaths.

You spelled Kreese wrong!

reply

Sensei Kreese is a pillar of the community. Now into his 70s, he continues to mentor at risk youth around the Valley. Look at the wonderful impact he had on young Eli.

If you’re not inspired by his transformation, you must have a heart of stone.

What ever happened to your new friend Karl Aksel? Did he abandon you for his old boyfriend in Columbus, ohio? Or was it just you the whole time?

reply

It is sad that you believe that only myself could have an opposing view to yours. You really need to get out of the cellar more.

WEARS ALAN
Hi.

KARL AKSEL
Hi.

WEARS ALAN
So, you all set to go?

KARL AKSEL
First I gotta tell you this. After you hear this, you just might change your mind.

WEARS ALAN
What do you have, poison oak?

KARL AKSEL
A boyfriend. You see, he was in the headless picture. You know, we broke up two months ago.

WEARS ALAN
You mean Elizabeth Anne Rooney...

KARL AKSEL
We were both a little dumb about it, but we've been talking on the phone.
I don't know, we're gonna give it another try when I go home.

WEARS ALAN
Where's home?

KARL AKSEL
Columbus………………………… Ohio. Yeah, I'm gonna go back after Thanksgiving. I just didn't want to lead you on.

WEARS ALAN
No.

KARL AKSEL
I did come on kind of strong.

WEARS ALAN
No, don't worry about it. It's refreshing. We could go Dutch.

KARL AKSEL
That sounds great. It's just that I've been on the board for two months rambling incoherently and I haven't even met any friends.

WEARS ALAN
Meet your first friend.

KARL AKSEL
All right.

WEARS ALAN
Yeah, this is wild. Wait till he hears about this one.

KARL AKSEL
Who?

WEARS ALAN
Mr SamGerard. He's my partner. You wanna meet him?

KARL AKSEL
Yeah, why not?

WEARS ALAN
You are about to meet the greatest guy. This guy, he's funny, he's smart.
You got a problem, he's got the answer. He's like no one you'll ever meet.
On top of that, he happens to be my best friend.

KARL AKSEL (visibly disturbed)
Why do you call him "mister"?

reply

Looks like that arse kicking didn't cure your plagiarism eh?

reply

What ass kicking? Have you been hallucinating on old foot powder again?

reply

The public arse kicking you received for plagiarism as decreed by Judge Reinhold.

Your dojo will be disappointed to learn you’ve been ingesting hallucinogens and watching Arrested Development on your down time. It seems you can no longer distinguish between fantasy and reality. Not to worry though, Terry Silver is coming back in December to sing you a lullaby and put you out of your misery.
If you start now, maybe you can finish your bunker in time for the season four premier. Just remember to use bricks this time and not cardboard macaroni and cheese boxes.

Wait for it.........

The sad thing is, you really can't see it can you?

reply

Hope you’re feeling this chipper in December when your day of reckoning comes.

reply

Lol.

You mean how Kreese turned Eli into a violent criminal? Luckily Eli had a change of heart later, when he realises what Kreese has turned them into:

reply

He and Johnny turned a wimp into a winner. Where would Eli be without the Kai?

reply

That was all Johnny's work. Kreese turned Eli into a criminal. A thug, a vandal, a burglar... a loser.

reply

His evolution from weakling to badass was the feel good story of 2020. Hawk touched the hearts of millions.

reply

Sure, Eli was a success-story - at first. Johnny's Cobra Kai was a success story - at first. Then Kreese entered the picture, and it was a downward spiral from there. Kreese was pure poison.

reply

I’m afraid that’s just not true. Kreese helped Eli reach new levels of personal excellence.

It’s impossible to watch this scene without feeling goosebumps.

reply

Eli turned into Hawk long before Kreese entered the picture. Kreese did not help Eli in any way, shape or form, he made him into becoming even more of a bully, and it would only have been a matter of time before he'd end up in jail. Sure, there are lots of tough guys in jail, tough as nail fighters, but not too many success stories. Excellence isn't measured in fighting prowess.

reply

How exactly was Hawk a bully? He never harmed anybody that didn’t have it coming.

reply

"I buried John last week."
"He's dead?"

Yeah, THAT guy runs an auto retail empire.
