Smartest or most intellectual character
Which of the main characters do you think would be the most likely to do well in an academic setting, e.g. if he/she decided to pursue university studies? Who do you consider to be intellectually inclined?
Not Whinielle that’s for sure. He would just “take classes to take classes” and then bye bye college.
shareNone of the Kai that's for sure. They couldn't outsmart Daniel for fucks sake.
Jessica, maybe.
Jessica was smart and proved to be an excellent spy for Terry Silver.
shareSo good was she, some people remain convinced she wanted to be Daniel’s friend.
shareYou were somehow fooled in to thinking she was spying for Silver. Either that or you are so desperate for it to be so that you are trying to pass it off as fact.....it isn't.
shareCase in point.
shareGet back in your cellar you mong
shareDennis also deserved credit for his intellectual acumen. Thought quiet, he was the brain of the trio.
shareHahahahahaha!
Totally deluded
I almost forgot about Jessica, that's a good call...As for Daniel, it's not totally clear whether he eventually decided to go to college.
I have the feeling that Mike Barnes may have excelled in other spheres as well. He was extremely ambitious and had business acumen, so maybe would have been willing to apply himself at an institution of higher education, especially if good grades were a prerequisite to being allowed to compete for a college karate team.
Barnes was an autodidact who had already taught himself the ways of the business world. His negotiation with Silver showed a wisdom beyond his 17 years.
shareWisdom?
He flew to LA on a promise from an adult he didn't know and bedded down in his mansion before he had anything in writing. Sounds like a person blinded by greed. If this were a horror movie he would be the perfect victim. You know, the type who decides to check out the cellar in the haunted house...alone!
Barnes successfully doubled his interests in the Cobra Kai dojos.. that shows great negotiation skills and a wisdom beyond his years.
Silver and Kreese mutually agreed ahead of time on a max offer of 50% but they didn't know Barnes.. just a 17 year old kid.... would successfully negotiate for it.
Guess you missed the point....AGAIN!
shareInstead of being so judgmental, Margaret could have learned from Barnes’ example and maybe negotiated a higher salary for herself.
shareActually why does such a high powered CEO like Terry Silver have such a butt ugly gramma secretary? He could have hired a hot babe secretary who gets in the tub with him! I guess he was being charitable?
shareBecause he's not interested in women
shareThe writers drop many hints that Terry Silver is a kindhearted, decent person. He treats his employees well and one feels a real sense of family during the brief scenes set at his mansion.

^^^^
No, they really don't, but they do make it blatantly obvious that he's a twisted psychopathic dickhead.
Margaret was a good judge of character in Barnes case, so who says she didn't negotiate a pay rise from Silver?
shareBarnes didn't have business acumen. He was being an extortionist.
