The Jessica was secretly working for Silver theory


I recall on the old boards there was a good theory that Jessica was actually working for Silver, even possibly Barnes or Snakes girlfriend.

1 We never meet her aunt who supposedly stays with.
2 Barnes & co always know where they are, Silver for example was at the nightclub before them.
3 Miyagi sweeps floors and then Silver says " We're not sweeping floors here"

reply

It was a good theory. But that's all it is.
If it were true then she would have turned up at the tournament and sided with Barnes for the ultimate mind fuck for Daniel.
Actually, that would have saved this miserable movie for me.

reply

They must play a different version of the film on British TV. Everything you have to say is wrong.

reply

Stop with the fantasies cruisin109, you already got whupped on that one!

reply

Yeah true lol glad to see you made it over to these boards.

reply

These boards?

reply

Yeah don't know if you remember me but I was Callum on the old IMDB boards.

reply

Callum!!!
The lad from Scotland, of course I remember you.

reply

Good stuff my man

reply

Glad you made it too

reply

Miyagi-do is up to three members now.

reply

You obviously don't remember Callum....he's Kai.
He's just not a dickhead like you.

reply

"It was a good theory."

Would that theory go against your principals [sic]?

reply

Once again, well done. Your counter argument is...oh hang on it isn't a counter argument is it?

reply

“If it were true then she would have turned up at the tournament“


Her job was done and it was not necessary. She probably had another Dynatox assignment to attend to and could not spare the time.

reply

Nope.
You are wrong and you know it. Silver would have made sure she was there for reasons previously mentioned.

reply

I wouldn’t rule out that deleted scenes may exist of Jessica revealing herself as Cobra Kai. Avilsden perhaps had them removed to give the character some ambiguity and allow audiences to piece together the puzzle themselves. Like Kubrick or Hitchcock, his films have subtle layers designed for thinking people.

reply

So you need supposed deleted scenes, which have never surfaced in over 30 years, to back up a your theory?
Poor.

reply

Robyn Lively is definitely doing something sketchy to even talk with Whinielle.

might be a solid theory..

reply

It's common knowledge that Jessica was working with Terry Silver.

The evidence is overwhelming only a blind person could disagree.

reply

I wouldn't even call that a theory. Jessica did not work for Silver. There was never any intention to do that in the script.

It was strictly a fanfic fantasy.

reply

I agree, when you watch the film before reading these boards it doesn't enter you head.

reply

Hints are dropped throughout the film. She tipped off Barnes, Snake and Dennis about their whereabouts at the crapshack and later alerted Silver to their jog in the park. Even Mike’s “kicking” her in the stomach was carefully choreographed in advance. Jessica emotionally abandoned Daniel on the eve of the tournament just to further affect his confidence.

reply

And yet you have never been able to prove it and there is no official backing of your 'ahem' theories.

reply

It’s a subtle and layered film that encourages the viewer to piece together certain elements. There will one day be a Room 237 type documentary exploring its deeper meanings. The more sophisticated themes escape you as you are not a scholarly type.

reply

Except it isn't subtle at all.

reply

WA all the evidence supports Jessica working for Silver.

Having Jessica at the tournament would have been too on the nose.

The fact that you need it actually spelled out for you shows you are blind to clear evidence.

reply

It has nothing to do with needing it spelled out for me. This isn't Inception, it's the Karate Kid. There is no subtleness or ambiguity to it, you are either Kai or not. Jessica was not despite you wanting it to be so.

reply

Jessica was not despite you wanting it to be so.

Prove it.

reply

He can’t.

reply

Back to talking to yourself I see

reply

The whole premise of Silvers plan was to torture and break Daniel before taking his title. If Jessica was part of that plan it would have been revealed at the tournament.
Simple logic.

Now you prove she was

reply

The whole premise of Silvers plan was to torture and break Daniel before taking his title. If Jessica was part of that plan it would have been revealed at the tournament.
Simple logic.

So it's literally impossible that Jessica would be part of the plan and not also be at the tournament?

It would defy the laws of physics for that to happen? The world would stop spinning on it's axis if Jessica was part of the plan and didn't show up at the tournament?

Why are you so stupid?

reply

Not impossible just illogical

You still haven't proven your case. Guess you will just continue to dodge because you can't prove what isn't so.

reply

Jessica was a mole who fed information back to Silver. How else would Mike Barnes have known Daniel had been to the police?

reply

Do you not realize this story is a work of fiction? Nothing was ever filmed of Jessica tipping off Mr Silver

reply

It’s storytelling with layers.

reply

What you are doing is story telling with layers...layers of your bullshit!

reply

All the available evidence points to Jessica working with Silver.

You're either blind or being deliberately obtuse.

reply

No it doesn't.
It is no different to the moon landings being fake theories

reply

It is no different to the moon landings being fake theories

We DID land on the moon... it's not a fake theory. Although maybe you can meet me on the moon for our showdown? Seems just as likely you'll show up there than anywhere else.

We landed on the moon and Jessica was working with Silver.... FACT.

reply

Are you really that blind with rage that you twist what I actually wrote about the Moon landings being fake? I wrote the Moon landings being fake were theories. Once again you twist things.
THE MOON LANDINGS BEING FAKE THEORIES ARE NO DIFFERENT TO YOUR JESSICA WAS WORKING FOR SILVER THEORIES BEING FAKE!!!! THEY ARE THE MUSINGS OF CONSPIRACY THEORISTS WHO LOOK FOR THE SLIGHTEST THING THEN BLOW IT OUT OF ALL PROPORTION BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IT PROVES THEIR POINT....IT DOESN'T.

AMERICA DID LAND ON THE MOON. FACT
JESSICA WAS NOT WORKING FOR SILVER. FACT

THE BURDEN OF PROOF OTHERWISE LAYS WITH THE PERSON(S) SAYING OTHERWISE. YOU HAVE YET TO PROVE YOUR CASE BEYOND THE RAMBLINGS OF A CONSPIRACY NUT.

reply

The evidence has been laid out. Everybody else agrees that Jessica was on the Dynatox payroll. Why else would a female show interest in Daniel?

reply

Everybody else doesn't agree though do they? Peruse through the other posts at your leisure and you will see that only bobbydallas gives it any credence and that's only because he can't believe any girl would give Daniel the time of day. That though is either poor casting or poor writing.

reply

Why do we never meet Jessica’s aunt? Silver bought the building across the street and converted it into a run down pottery store.

reply

Why do we never meet Jessicas aunt?
Why do we need to?

reply

She doesn’t exist. Daniel and Miyagi operated the crapshack for over three months without coming into contact with her.
Jessica bringing over macaroni and cheese was also part of Silver’s plan. He had done his research.

reply

Pure fantasy.
As I said, it's a nice thought and would have saved this piece of shit movie. Unfortunately that's all it is....a nice thought.

reply

There’s no debate. It’s the accepted reality.

reply

Except it isn't the accepted reality to anyone but yourself.
Accept that and move on.

reply

All the evidence points to Jessica working with Silver. This has been decided and is no longer up for debate WA. If you continue to attempt to spread debunked theories I will petition your Queen exile you from England.

reply

No it doesn't and no it hasn't been decided by anyone other than yourself, the lowest authority on the board.

reply

It’s accepted fact. If you continue to spread lies and misinformation you will risk causing another board shutdown just like you did with IMDb

reply

Only accepted by you though.

reply

You really should have a belief system based on evidence WA. Your world will get so much clearer.

reply

I have it based on fact or proof.
You on the other hand are trolling this board with your fantasies. This conversation has run its' course. Nothing to see here folks.

reply

See the trail?

reply

Of you retreating under your bridge...yes.
Now begone foul Troll.

reply

We produced evidence that Jessica was working for Silver. You have produced no evidence that she wasn’t. Feel free to provide this evidence to support your claim.

reply

WE?
The onus was never on me to prove anything.

I said begone foul Troll

reply

I am running out of patience WA, now produce your evidence and let's get on with it!

reply

What part of begone don't you understand, fool?

reply

DON'T DO THAT!

(Throws WA through a paper wall)

reply

Weak
Vapid
Boring.
Change the record.

reply

Wears isn’t even fun to debate. His weak arguments basically defeat themselves. There’s no challenge or intellectual stimulation. This is how Barnes must have felt fighting that chump Larusso.

reply

That post was the very definition of sticking your fingers in your ears and going lalalalallalala!

reply

You just proved my point. The KKIII board was once a place for serious discussion. You have lowered the bar.

reply

It was lowered by your ignorance coupled with your arrogance.
The thing is, besides your imaginary friend, nobody on the boards agrees with you.

reply

You are living in a dream world, ignoring reality like Miyagi after he misplaced his Bonzai trees.

reply

I'm living in a dream world. Wasn't it you who started the thread about Daniels win solved nothing with this?

Silver, Kreese and Barnes would only become more incensed and would dedicate even more of their time, energy and resources toward destroying him.

Now we all know that this ^^^^ didn't happen. Yet you persist with your fantasy aided and abetted by your sock account cruisin109.

reply

The movie ends with Daniel celebrating his victory and it’s meant to be a happy ending. There’s nothing stopping Silver, Kreese and Barnes from continuing to terrorize him. By winning the tournament, he’s only aggravated them further.

reply

You are right there is nothing stopping them....but it never happened did it.

reply

Based on everything that’s transpired, we can safely conclude that Silver, Kreese and Barnes would regroup to take things a step further. Look at their anger during the closing moments. Daniel was in a worse position than ever before.

reply

Yet nothing transpired did it? We know this because of Cobra Kai

reply

How did Barnes know Daniel had been to the police? You can’t answer that.

reply

Silver was following Daniel or having him followed.
BOOM!

reply

You have no evidence to support this claim WA.

NRC123 presented a logical question you have failed to answer.

reply

You have no evidence to say otherwise, dickhead.

reply

That's one of the things he was paying Snake for.

reply

Hardly seems credible.

reply

Seems entirely credible. You just don't like it because it goes against your own (weak) theory.

reply

Barnes knew that Whinielle had gone to the cops.

We believe that Jessica informed Barnes of this... this is sound logical reasoning flowing from of a litany of evidence connecting Jessica to Silver.

We can presume that Whinielle told Jessica about the incident and calling the cops, you have no evidence that Silver found out through other means.

Please produce your theory as to who else (specifically) could have informed him if not Jessica.

And PS Wears stop wasting everyone's time with your abject buffoonery.

reply

I'm going to guess you'll say it's unreasonable to assume that Barnes could have found out Daniel had gone to the police when the police questioned Barnes about the robbery.

reply

Of course he's going to say that.

reply

How could the police have questioned Barnes? How would they have known where to find him? Daniel didn’t even know his last name, let alone that he lived in Terry Silver’s mansion.

reply

How could Terry silver know Daniels every move?
Oh that's right. He's a billionaire who was devoting 100% of his time to him

reply

I think you’re mistaken Wears. We’ve proven you wrong. There’s no shame in admitting defeat and moving on. Holding on to your side of the argument is just wasting everyone’s time.

reply

There is no we and no you haven't. Nobody agrees with your skewed thinking.
Time for you to give up the ghost.

reply


You haven’t been able to answer simple questions. How did Mike know Daniel had been to the police?

reply

I did answer. But hey, let's do it again for your sake eh?
Terry Silver was devoting all his time to , as he put it, those two jerks. He was keeping tabs on their every move. The man was a billionaire so obviously had the resources to do so.
Now you haven't been able to answer the simplest of questions have you? If Jessica was part of Silvers plan to destroy Daniel and Miyagi, how come there is no reveal of her involvement?
He reveals that he's been manipulating Daniel all along.
He reveals that he's been behind Barnes all along.
He reveals that Kreese is still alive.
But no reveal on Jessica, why? Because you are wrong that's why!

reply

You can believe whatever bullshit you want...doesn't make it so. You can assume whatever you want...doesn't make it so.
You come up with a theory that (a) you can't prove, (b) isn't logical given what we see at the tournament, yet somehow the burden of proof otherwise is on me?
Doesn't surprise me though seeing as you have form for this type of behaviour.

PS. Stop pretending you are two posters. There is no WE, only YOU!

reply

It's a theory nothing more, the film doesn't make you think this at all.

In my opinion.

reply

And everyone else with half a brain thinks the same thing.

reply

Yep.

It's strange how there's a lot of discussion/arguments about this film.

reply

There is a lot of discussion, but a good chunk of it has nothing to do with the film, just a bunch of made up fantasies.

reply

Your right, most of what I read is nonsense.

reply

You two have not studied the film closely enough. Every scene Jessica appears in offers hints that she is operating undercover. Jessica being Cobra Kai/Dynatox is widely accepted as fact by the mainstream critical community.

reply

You and your alter-ego do not qualify as the mainstream. If anything you are the un silent minority.

reply

As you can see from the response.

reply

Would encourage you to rewatch the film with a closer eye. If you find yourself on the same side of an argument as Wearsalan, you need to reassess your life.

reply

Come on dude, you don't really believe the rubbish you talk do you lol.

reply

Rewatch Jessica’s scenes and look out for the signs. It’s transparent.

reply

Transparent just like the Emperor's new clothes. Because there's nothing there.

reply

Why would a female voluntarily spend time with Daniel?
Why does her “aunt” never materialize?
Was it a coincidence that she had leftover macaroni and cheese?
How did Mike Barnes know Daniel had been to the police?
How do Barnes, Snake and Dennis always know where they are?
How did Silver know when they were jogging?

reply

Why would a female voluntarily spend time with Daniel?
Dunno, but it happens throughout the movie series and he has a hot wife in the Cobra Kai series
Why does her “aunt” never materialize?
She's not scripted to.
Was it a coincidence that she had leftover macaroni and cheese?
Apparently, but more likely the script called for it.
How did Mike Barnes know Daniel had been to the police?
Silver has connections.
How do Barnes, Snake and Dennis always know where they were?
Silver is having Daniel followed or is following him himself.
How did Silver know when they were jogging?
See above answer.
Remember he (Silver) was devoting 100% of his time to those two jerks.

reply

These suggestions do not seem collectively plausible. It’s more likely there was a single driving force.

reply

Yes. The script writer was the driving force. Didn't you get that?

reply

I can’t walk you through this any further. You continue to live your life in a state of denial. God have mercy on your soul. Roll on one.

reply

Wanker!

reply

Just admit your loss and move on.

reply

As I said in a reply to another of your posts, I feel really sorry for you FrogClarke. You must be really lonely. It would be cruel of me to continue to deliver beatdown after beatdown upon you. You live under the mantra of No Mercy, but despite that I shall show you some. You are free to go. Goodbye. Leave this board and enjoy your life in peace.

reply

This is the 80s. You can’t be so damn passive.

reply

Hang in there, help is at hand.

reply

Mike Barnes literally assaults her.

reply

It was a rehearsed kick.

reply

What, did it go wrong then?

reply

It was all a performance.

reply

Not as good as your latest performance eh?

reply

There's nothing you've got that I can't counter. Your argument’s a joke!

reply

And your joke isn't much of an argument.

reply

Happens all the time

reply

True, Callum. Very true.
