Talk:Richard Vernon/@comment-26240776-20200425200326/@comment-44275313-20200428024244

^ Something you and I agree on--And if you hate seeing J Matthew Turner (the guy who made the "Daniel is the REAL bully" video, as well as pretty much started the anti-Daniel LaRusso B.S.) trash talk Daniel LaRusso, wait till you see what he wishes happened to Daniel--J Matthew Turner wished for:

1.) Daniel to get hit by a bus, that is driven by Kreese.

2.) Mike Barnes to throw Daniel's mother out the window.

Now that, first of all, makes J Matthew Turner no better than Daniel LaRusso, just like wanting revenge on Vernon makes someone no better than Vernon. Right?

Second of all, the "Daniel is the REAL bully" video opens with J Matthew Turner saying, "The Karate Kid is the story of Daniel--A violent sociopath who moves to a California town and begins tormenting a local boy and his friends"--Now I call B.S. on those lines for the following reasons:

a) Actually, Daniel was the one BEING tormented. In fact, Johnny Lawrence and the Cobra Kai's (except for Bobby Brown [the Cobra Kai gang member, who told his friends to leave Daniel alone, while they were savagely beating Daniel]) are the TRUE violent sociopaths, as they use violence on others to get what they want, and they continously bully Daniel, for the fun of it.

b) Wanting someone to get hit by a bus or thrown out a window is REALLY what "a violent sociopath" sounds like.

Anyways, for the movie, Kreese is the "true villain", as he sets a bad role model to kids, and teaches them to basically use violence for everything, and do anything, even if it illegal or plain wrong, to win/be on top. Now that is a bad role model. Right?

As for Daniel and Johnny's animosity, the true villain of it is Cobra Kai boy Tommy (the loud and vocal boy that looks like Luke Skywalker, and exclaimed, "GET HIM A BODY BAG!! YEAH!!", when Johnny kicked Daniel in the knee during the tournament)--Imagine you had a breakup, but later, you forgot about it, while having a good time. Then, someone reminds you of it, and you get upset all over again--That is the case in The Karate Kid:

The Cobra Kai boys (Johnny and his friends) had just taken a nice ride on their motorcyles, and had stopped just above the beach (where the beach fight happened), where they (Johnny and his friends) were talking about how the school year would turn out. Johnny, during the ride and conversation, was not thinking about his breakup with his ex-girlfriend Ali. However, Tommy, who could see Daniel and Ali (Johnny's ex-girlfriend) bonding, alerts Johnny, by saying:

"You must be a trendsetter, Johnny. Everyone's doing something new. Take a right. Check it out"

Johnny sees it, and gets angry over his breakup with Ali all over again, and rides down to the beach to confront Ali, despite Johnny's other friends telling him to forget it--Then the beach fight, as well as Daniel and Johnny's animosity ensued...All because Tommy could not keep his mouth shut.

But I am glad that you and me are both against the anti-Daniel LaRusso B.S.
