4. Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), THE KARATE KID

Johnny Lawrence and the rest of the Cobra Kai dojo may have been a bunch of rage-aholic creeps with serious emotional issues but if you really look at the events of the first KARATE KID movie you come away with undeniable truth: Daniel brought all of the bad things that happened onto himself.
Sure Johnny was a borderline abusive dick to Ali but Daniel constantly felt the need to poke the bear and then acted shocked when he got mauled. Here is a tip for avoiding conflict when entering a new high school…don’t go after the girlfriend of the roided up meathead with the gang of well trained martial arts henchman.

So totally agree with Blane. What the heck does Andy see in him? I know we all want to think the best of our friends, and I’m sure he saw the few good qualities they had, but was he totally clueless? Hate him.
