We all love Daniel LaRussa and Mr. Miyagi of Karate Kid series.

But this accurate depiction shows that LaRussa and Miyagi were always the aggressors and bullies and Johnny Lawrence was just a kid trying to live his life without intrusion.

A wonderful take, showing how the media and its portrayal can alter how we view things. Watch this, and I think you will find the movie and series a bit differently.

I agree LaRusso deserved a beat down.. The Cobra Kai members let it go, they were over it and moved on. Poor guys are at a Halloween dance at high school, just bought a bag of weed, looking to have a great weekend in their senior year and sure enough, LaRusso "f*cks" with Johnny with the "water hose over the stall" trick, ruining a bag of weed, smearing his skeleton makeup for no reason whatsoever..

Johnny was the new kid, from the east coast. Dude comes out to Cali, and first weekend steals Johnny's girlfriend.. Really? New kids need to learn their place.. Johnny and the Cobra Kais owned that school, they earned it and they weren't going to let some new jersey punk come in and take over.. Johnny was talking to his girlfriend on the beach, trying to work it out and new guy comes over and barges in, during a party on the beach at night?? NO WAY.

Same jackass behavior by LaRusso happens in KK 2 as well. Chozen has a nice little business going, trade and barter system going on in the village and larusso screws it up by messing with his scale.. So they were fake, that's not Chozen's fault, it's the villagers ignorance.. Miyagi steals Soto's girlfriend, LaRusso steals Alli from Johnny.. And the most frustrating part about the whole thing, he can steal Johnny's girlfriend but finally, in KK3, he meets the hottest chick of them all, Miss Redhead, single and all and he doesn't crush it.. He wants to be friends.. What a joke.. Karate's bad boy Mike Barnes has to compete from the beginning of the All Valley tournament and LaRusso gets automatic bid to the final round? really? That's fair..
