Karate Kid 3 Hinted Terry Silver Was Better Than Kreese (Has That Changed?)


https://screenrant.com/is-terry-silver-better-than-kreese-karate-kid/

The Karate Kid Part III hinted at Terry Silver being a better fighter than Kreese. Would that still be the case if they fought in Cobra Kai season 5?

reply

Terry is probably better than Kreese. He is younger, keeps himself in shape, and eats healthy. Perhaps when Kreese was in his prime he was better than Terry, but those days are long past.

reply

Now in KK3, it comes across that Terry is younger. But on Cobra Kai, the back story in Vietnam appears to show them to be close in age.
Is Silver a better fighter though? Only one way to find out fiiigghhht!

reply

Kreese already lost to Daniel last episode. Everyone is waiting to see Daniel vs Silver, who is the only character Daniel has not beaten

reply

Daniel did defeat Kreese. However, Kreese is much older than Daniel and just fought a hard fight with Johnny and did not have recovery time. Kreese and Johnny seemed evenly matched. However Terry toyed with a determined Johnny who came looking for a fight. It is safe to say that Terry would easily defeat Daniel.

reply

I figured Terry Silver was at least a little better in KK3. I thought Miyagi had to fight Barnes, Kreese and ultimately Silver in ascending order of skill level.

reply

Silver can beat them all! I think he can even give Miyagi a good fight if he took the old man seriously.

He did take him seriously. He lost.
Not sure why anyone believes that Miyagi would have lost to any opponent. He is painted as the Yoda of this universe. The only opponent who could (and did) beat him was Death.

reply

Yoda was able to beat death….. why couldn’t Miyagi?

reply

Maybe because he's not a Jedi

reply

I disagree with Silver being serious with Miyagi. Look at how he was making that stupid noise & those weird faces & stuff.

reply

True the whole “Wah! Wah!” Showed that Silver was just playing around and not taking the fight seriously.

reply

He was high on cocaine, but hey disagree all you want.

reply

You keep saying that Miyagi is just like Yoda but then you conveniently make excuses for him not being able to beat death like Yoda could. You lose again.

No, I say he is the Yoda of this universe. In other words he is the ultimate master of his art. Furthermore it was originally a Kai who compared him to Yoda, I just happened to agree.

You lose again.

I think you'll find YOU LOSE AGAIN!

reply

Yoda wasn’t the ultimate master in his art either. He straight up lost to Sideous in a fair fight. Drop the analogy you’re drowning here.

reply

Sideous was the dark side which is not the same and is praticed differently or weren't you paying attention when you watched those movies?
Oh and you conveniently ignored that the Yoda comparison originated from the Kai.
Looks like you are the one drowning here sucker!

reply

The force is the force light and dark. Sideous was a better master of the force than Yoda.

reply

That's like saying Karate is Karate. There are different styles of Karate that are practiced differently.
The force is the force as you say but light and dark are practiced differently. You need to pay attention when watching these movies.

Glad to educate you there.

Btw, you still haven't commented on the fact that it was a Kai who originally compared Miyagi to Yoda. Guess that's an inconvenient truth for you eh?

reply

The force is the force just like martial arts are martial arts. Yoda was a worse force practitioner than sideois. That like if you got your ass handed to you by a king fu master and tried to brush it off claiming to lay people that you’re “better at karate”.

Nice display of ignorance there, keep it up.

Yoda was a worse force practitioner than sideois.

So was Mace Windu a better force practitioner than Sideous?

Only in your mind, which tbf is struggling anyway.

You've still dodged the issue that it was a Kai who originally compared Yoda and Miyagi.
What a wanker you are!
